Patrick Kennedy, who lost two uncles to assassins’ bullets, says there’s an obvious connection between the violent rhetoric of today’s politics and the massacre in Tucson.
“When Sarah Palin puts targets on people’s districts? Or you have 10,000 signs on the mall during the healthcare battle saying ‘Bury Obamacare with Kennedy’? When the vitriol and the rhetoric is so violent, we have to connect consequences to that.” said Kennedy, who left congress two weeks ago after serving eight terms representing Rhode Island.

We Freepers KNOW there is no connection.
But the left has launched EVERY THING THEY HAVE at this and the "connection" between Palin and the shooter is getting traction.
Sometimes makes me wonder if this kid was not groomed for a false flag operation. And, if there are others.
If anyone had the slightest doubt that the leftnuts aren’t scared silly by Sarah Palin, this should convince them. The scoundrels wouldn’t be going all out to destroy her unless they are convinced she is going to trounce their man. This kind of orchestrated assault had to be planned long before this tragedy, and the fact that it has nothing to do with Sarah means nothing to the scum who want to destroy her. This attack is coming right out of the White House.
He'd best see to his own problems first.
I could only find ‘Several people held up preprinted signs saying, “Bury Obama Care with Kennedy”’ from http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/13/us/politics/13protestweb.html
I’m guessing that the NY Times was probably less hyperbolic and that most of the protesters didn’t much care for the tone of the sign, since Kennedy’s death was fairly recent at the time.
Patrick, as per usual, could not help but embellish (aka, lie). The male Kennedys simply cannot help themselves.
Patches, your dad killed more people with his car than Sarah Palin ever has with her words.
These socialist Democrats sure know how to sing in unison
The Kennedy’s considered elected office a “family business”.
Treated for cocaine use as a teenager; went bar-crawling in Palm Beach, Fla., with his father and his cousin William Kennedy Smith, who was later acquitted at trial of raping a young woman that night; accused of shoving a security officer at Los Angeles International Airport; crashed his convertible into a concrete barrier at the Capitol while under the influence of prescription drugs.
I’m no Palin supporter - not by a long shot - but this is a damned joke. The Kennedy’s have killed more people than Palin.
Thank God Patrick is drinking again!
“But I managed to succeed in a socially acceptable way, i.e. in the family business of politics, which if there were ever a business where you would think that would be the biggest death knell, it would be in politics.”
Patrick Kennedy needs to just STFU.
Yeah, incited by rhetoric like, “Hey, Ted, have another one before you take that little minx for a ‘strategy session’, heh, heh, heh!”
Patches has been snortin’ the snow again, I guess.
I remember when this “ad” first came out. Was a NL fan since then..
Never worked a day in his life...
Patrick Kennedy inherits dad’s millions
Patrick Kennedy inherited three trust funds from his late father, according to the disclosure. Those are in addition to a fourth trust his father had already granted him a number of years ago.
Two of the trust funds Kennedy inherited after his father died were established in 1926 and 1936 by his grandfather, family patriarch Joseph P. Kennedy, whose children included Edward Kennedy and President John F. Kennedy.
Patrick Kennedy’s share of those two trusts was worth between $6 million and $30 million combined, and he received more than $105,000 in income from them last year, the form said.
Joseph Kennedy established at least four trusts for his children during his lifetime so he could preserve and pass on to his heirs the fortune he’d amassed in real estate, finance, liquor and other industries during the first half of the 20th century, according to his biographers.
The Kennedys have not been on Forbes’ list of the nation’s 400 richest families since 1994. The magazine estimated the family’s combined fortune peaked at $850 million in 1990, which would be roughly $1.4 billion in today’s dollars.

Reading the headline in virtually every news outlet last week that ‘after 63 years, there will be no Kennedy in office’ I wiped the tears from my eyes and had HOPE in this CHANGE .. but, no, Patrick just can’t keep his mouth shut and maintain a low profiled. Will the Kennedys ever actually exit stage left ??
“When Sarah Palin puts targets on people’s districts? [Says Kennedy]
Note to Patrick Kennedy, (he of the video taped violence against a female airport security guard and frequent visitor to drug rehab facilities...)
This is a target:
Patrick, you may even find that particular target familiar as it was published by your very own party, the Democrats, in 2004 on a map. You libs actually said that people living in Blue States were "behind enemy lines." Remember?
Patrick, THESE are map symbols, as used on Palin's map:
Palin never used "targets." She never used "crosshairs."
So please Patrick, get your facts straight and stop attacking Sarah Palin for something she didn't do.
Why not turn your attention towards your own party and fellow liberals?
Like this sort of rhetoric"

Congressman Patrick Kennedy Has to Be Reminded About JFK
4/28/10 at 11:00 AM
Rhode Island congressman Patrick Kennedy will have some explaining to do at the next family reunion. While downing vodka at a Capitol Hill bar last week — only hours after giving a speech on his own battles with substance abuse — Kennedy undermined the presidency of his own uncle, John F. Kennedy:
Our tipster adds Kennedy was in a lively mood, joking with others at the bar and even boasting about President Barack Obama, calling him “the best president ever.”
When our tipster countered: “Wait a second. What about your uncle?” — referring, of course, to President John F. Kennedy — the younger Kennedy jovially responded, “Oh yeah! Good one,” and slapped our tipster’s back, he says.
“Oh yeah.” Oh yeah. Classic. In Kennedy’s defense, he had consumed more than six shots at that point, but let’s be honest, that’s hardly an excuse for a Kennedy.
