Ted Kennedy: Dead at age 77

[The Dude 206]

Let me ask you this.. and be honest, had Bush been bumped off (as so many fantasized about) do you really believe the multitude of attackers would have laid down their pens and key boards and "shown Bush respect?"

I know you're not talking to me, and I can only speak for myself, but I can absolutely honestly answer "yes" to that. IMO, death changes the rules. I would never have called for Bush's death, however.

I can say that I dreamed that he would be impeached, brought up on charges for his assault on civil liberties, but I can say that I have never wished for him, or anyone for that matter to die. It's called being a human being, but I guess your lobotomy must have rendered you incapable of that.

This is another disgusting thread. Why are these people allowed to sit here and spout their #######... It may be in off topic but it is not what VJ is for. Yes there should be a forum when general chitchat can take place but off topic has just become a place for a certain few to run around acting like spoilt brats and seeing how much sh!t they can through at each other, and look out anyone who dares to speak up against this behaviour..

My thoughts exactly

Wow you guys are a little late to the party with your outrage.

Where were you when assassination movies were being made about bush and Palins kids were under attack?

you are a certifed heartless f##k........a death of a person is not equal to a f##king imagery movie or someone talking about a mother's kids./.what a dumb azz

See, I didn't get the note that we can attack peoples kids, family and call for their death but...... but upon death we then must "show a little respect".

Let me ask you this.. and be honest, had Bush been bumped off (as so many fantasized about) do you really believe the multitude of attackers would have laid down their pens and key boards and "shown Bush respect?"

What's interesting here is that you apparently can't grasp the difference between what you yourself are doing and defending and your hypothetical fantasy about what others would do in reversed circumstances.

Its also quite wrong - as many of the people you're aiming this comment at didn't attack people's kids, call for anyone's death or condone any of it.

So your justification there is on decidedly shaky ground I'm afraid.

Granted thats true..... all I ask is that you over look my comments as you did theirs..... yet when someone on the Right does it... we hear you suddenly "stand up for right".

It's called "selective outrage".

There are numerous TOS violations in this thread. In fact, just as many as the number of complaints we have received. If you cannot tone it down, this thread will have to be closed. Thank you.

No Danno - its called putting yourself in the line of fire when you paint with a broad brush that disparages many people.

The only reason a person would have to "look over" your comments is how fvcking stupid and dishonest they (and you) are.

So I take it when any of the republican party attends the funeral you will be shout outrage at them being two faced???

Honest to Pete, Danno. You sound like a kid in the principal's office who did something stupid and and can only sputter "but he...but she...but...look at what he did."

Obviously Ted Kennedy was a controversial figure and disliked by many, but give me an effing break. A sense of propriety, please.

I can say that I dreamed that he would be impeached, brought up on charges for his assault on civil liberties, but I can say that I have never wished for him, or anyone for that matter to die. It's called being a human being, but I guess your lobotomy must have rendered you incapable of that.

Why must you go and start personal attacks?

I never said I "wished" for kennedy's death, I just don't assign it as some "great loss".

I'm more likely to morn every-day victims of crime and suffering often as a result of Kennedy's votes and programs. Kennedy lived a very sweet life... on money he never earned. He lived to a ripe old age..... in fact given his abuses, one might say he cheated death for a number of years.

Sure I take a little joy in using his death.... and your Sudden interest in public civility to point out the "hypocrisy" we have before us.

But again, I don't take any pleasure in his death or the loss his family feels.

For some odd reason Danno is easily provoked into radicalism very easy. Sound like a teenager.

RIP to Ted.

No need to get all 'high road' on predictable retards.

I expressed that this was very sad and he did not deserve this, oh dear god have I turned into one of you high roaders.

The funny thing is - his accusations are entirely baseless.

As I say, it makes you wonder what standards these people have when they set the barometer for appropriate behaviour on the lowest common denominator.

I would have settled for that shoe actually hitting him. Too bad he wasn't an old fuсk like McCain or a fattie like Chris Christie, he still had good reflexes.

Danno, you think you are righteous in standing firm on your judgment of character over Ted Kennedy (RIP ), but what this is for you is just you being partisan, and then justifying it with comparisons of others being partisan. I have no idea how old you are, but I hope that you will reach a level of maturity to understand that human beings are complex...that there is good and bad in all of us...and all of us have done great things and regrettable things. Hopefully you are old enough to have attended enough funerals in your life to know that people celebrate the good parts of the deceased and not revel in their failures as humans. And hopefully, if you truly are a follower of Christianity, you'd realize that Jesus was a merciful soul, even to Roman guards, prostitutes, and criminals.
