First name that comes to my mind is Whitaker Chambers followed by Helen Gahagan Douglas. Sometimes knowing history is more important. Follow thos two with Henry Kissinger. Watergate is so far down the list

Hmmm. I googled “kennedy murdered Mary Jo Kopechne” and only got 33,700 hits. “Bush equals Hitler” nets 18,4000,000. One it incontrovertibly true and one is complete bullspit.

Mad world...

What is the smear? Connecting Teddy with Mary Jo is the truth.

Well cry me a freakin’ river you leftist weenie.

They can never understand responsible behavior unless they demand it from a conservative. The man was no saint so stop trying to fool the public - we know the truth. If you don’t like the truth - tuff! Truth suck sometimes, doesn’t it lefties?

Kennedy smears President Bush and our troops on the US Senate floor:

He described the Iraq war as a fraud “made up in Texas” as part of political strategy — accused the President of the US of “telling lie, after lie, after lie”, in order to go to war in Iraq.

Kennedy smears Judge Alito...Mrs. Alito in tears:

“In suggesting that Samuel Alito had belonged to a racist conservative group, Massachusetts Democratic Senator Ted Kennedy relied heavily on an essay published by the organization that sounded like a bigoted rant. The essay, titled ‘In Defense of Elitism.....But the magazine’s editor at the time says the article was pure satire, a send-up of what liberals think conservatives think. He added quote, ‘I think left-wing groups have been feeding Senator Kennedy snippets and he has been mindlessly reciting them,”

Sen. Edward Kennedy Smears the Nation

“On March 19, 2004, President Bush asked: ‘Who would prefer that Saddam’s torture chambers still be open?’ Shamefully, we now learn that Saddam’s torture chambers reopened under new management — U.S. management.”

A speech on the Senate floor, May 10, 2004.

Kennedy’s smear of Judge Bork on the US Senator floor:

“Robert Bork’s America is a land in which women would be forced into back-alley abortions, blacks would sit at segregated lunch counters, rogue police could break down citizens’ doors in midnight raids, schoolchildren could not be taught about evolution, writers and artists could be censored at the whim of the Government, and the doors of the Federal courts would be shut on the fingers of millions of citizens for whom the judiciary is — and is often the only — protector of the individual rights that are the heart of our democracy....”

Kennedy betrays President Reagan:

May 14, 1983 document from the KGB archives reveals that Senator Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) reached out to the General Secretary of the Soviet Union’s Communist Party, Yuri Andropov, to propose a kind of public relations strategy to counter President Reagan’s defense policy initiatives toward the Soviet Union, policies that Kennedy felt were too aggressive.

Was Mary Jo pregnant when Ted Kennedy left her to drown?

Why treason charges were not brought upon him underscores what is wrong with this country. Too big to fail? Too important? No. Too powerful.

Call your Democrat’s Congresman’s local office; odds are the staffer has no clue who Mary Jo was. Enlighten them.

Supposedly that is why Mary Jo’s parents refused an autopsy. They were afraid the whole purpose of the autopsy was to find out if she was pregnant or not.

Ain’t that sumfin? ;-)

The press may do that aloud about Republicans, but in everybody’s mind, Ted the swimmer will be forever linked to Mary Jo. That can never be undone now.
