'Remember Chappaquiddick!' Student hollers phrase as Kennedy begins on-campus speech
World Net Daily ^ | 2-22-06 | Ron Strom

A community college student in Massachusetts faces possible disciplinary action for shouting "Remember Chappaquiddick!" during an on-campus speech by Democrat Sen. Edward Kennedy.

Paul Trost, 20, a student at Massasoit Community College in Brockton, Mass., says he was upset by an introduction of Kennedy given by Rep. Stephen Lynch, D-Mass., in which the congressman noted how the long- time senator overcame hardship in life on his way to success.

"Lynch said Kennedy had overcome such adversity to get to the place he was, and that's a bunch of bull," Trost said of the introduction, which occurred in the school's student center Tuesday morning....

Yeah, Teddy Kennedy has struggled all his life to overcome his addiction to alcohol.

Every night at happy hour, he has a relapse. But he's back in the driver's seat the next day. Or later that night, for that matter ...

Sure, he left Mary Jo to die while he tried to come up with an alibi, but that's hardly the worst mark on Kennedy's slate. He was the prime mover behind cutting off all funds to South Vietnam, ensuring that our former allies couldn't stop the massive invasion from the North in 1975.

Ted Kennedy helped pave the way for the genocide that followed.

...noted how the long- time senator overcame hardship in life on his way to success.

Since when does getting away with something constitute overcoming it?
Has Kennedy "overcome" his addiction to liquor too?
The only thing I can see he has overcome is any consequence for his actions.

"Most of the crowd gasped," Trost said....exactly - you can hurl any amount of venom and hatred at a conservative with immunity, but remind the crowd of the embarrassing truth about some leftwinger and it's as though you'd smacked your own mother with a dead fish.....

His father was a rich gangster who protected the family assets in trusts outside of the country to pay not estate tax.
Sent Ted and others to good schools and they did not have to work, pay their own way for anything and lived in affluence.
And when Ted killed a girl, his wealth helped cover it up and made it go away.

Where was the supposed hardship, not getting enough tail while married to outside sources?

I'm composing a letter to the Enterprise using a montage of comments from this post. Please edit this before I send it. Thanks all.

REMEMBER CHAPPAQUIDDICK
Whether you agree with his view, Paul Trost’s dissent without disruption was truthful, dignified and well done. Be honest, if he had shouted "Nazi!" at President Bush, instead of punishment, I’m sure you’d probably offer him free tuition. Mr. Trost is a stand up guy who also happens to be impressively well informed. If there is a punishment for Mr. Trost, your school does not understand free speech. Where it has become trendy to shout a speaker off the campus stage, Mr. Trost simply made his view known. By the way, Trost is a blog hero.

This kid did what I have wanted to do as long as I learned about The Swimmer's history.

Also, from the article:

"Today is Kennedy's birthday, as he turns 74."

The irony. Had Mary Jo lived, she would be 76. She died at the age of 26.

If the kid needs to go legal on the school, we should raise money for his legal costs.

"Most of the crowd gasped," Trost said. "Then I walked out of the student center."

This is never going away. Poor Teddy.
I just realized how young he was at
the time, and I didn't know Mary Jo was older.

Are you asking if Paul Trost is a FReeper?
If so, I don't believe he is. His Father
might be.

This is never going away. Poor Teddy.

Killing another person has lasting power. "Poor Teddy" not only has to deal with people never forgetting how he allowed Mary Jo to die, but he will have to answer to God, who will present him (Ted) with his Book Of Life.

40 million fetuses will come tumbling out, along with the corpse of Mary Jo and goodness knows what else.

As a Christian I am duty bound to pray for The Swimmer's everlasting soul. But the idea he will have to face Divine Justice somehow make me feel better.

Exactly! What college was it a month or so ago where Gonzales went to speak? A bunch of youts put black bags on their heads and turned their backs to him. Did they get any discipline?
