I'm sure liberals will be real respectful now like they want for everyone else (fat chance)

[DownWithTheLeft]

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Well that didn't take long (I'd be surprised if anything came from liberals)

But OMG Ted Kennedy killed a women but he is so ill so we can't speak bad about him OMG

[DownWithTheLeft]

He probably needs a LOT of prayers to get out of purgatory...

Moronic liberal comment #2

[DownWithTheLeft]

Let's hope a gay black man buries him.

Numero tres, and that's being kind

[DownWithTheLeft]

He'll be joining Pat Robertson as a cockroach in his next life.

4

[DownWithTheLeft]

4 what?

I'm counting how many nasty comments are made about him.  Just really to point out the hypocrisy of some people, although, I guess you wouldn't be one I would say is hypocritical, you'd probably say this about anybody that died.

[DownWithTheLeft]

I don't have kind words to say about most current politicians since they're usually in a range from bad to terrible. Freedom Fighters who earn truly respectful comments from me are far and few between.

Yea, I shouldn't really have used it to refer to you as you probably would have concurred when I called Ted Kennedy a murderer

[DownWithTheLeft]

I wouldn't go so far as to claim that but I'd say he's at least guilty of manslaughter plus DUI/DWI and adultry.

I forgot, I did come to terms with the fact he is a manslaughterer

[DownWithTheLeft]

Then again the Kennedys are secular saints according to our betters, the bien pensants so they get away with multiples crimes that us mortals get heinous punishments for.

Well, they are Catholic so they coud be cannoized I guess

[DownWithTheLeft]

I wonder how much you'd have to bribe the pope to pull that off?

I'm sure Ted could just drive the popemobile off a bridge

[DownWithTheLeft]

How could it be viewed as symbolic?

He was a FF and its the Fourth of July.  No necessarily everyone's take, but it could be for many.  Just as the eerie coincidence of Adams and Jefferson 7/4/1826

[DownWithTheLeft]

An evil man has died.  I hope that God has more mercy on him than he showed to his fellow man.

notice how down is quiet when his fellow Republican blasts Helms.

Nah, I just didn't read the thread since then.  Its really dispicable, however, it still continues to prove my point.  All I did was acknowlege something Ted Kennedy did and everyone freaked out, but when people who did more than be born with a silver spoon in their mouth die they can bashed relentelessly to high heaven.  The forum has no class

[DownWithTheLeft]

^^^^^^

I think we have a winner most classless right here

[DownWithTheLeft]

Well, I hope people remember this thread when I do more than not shed a tear over Ted Kennedy's impending death, 39 years after his victim.

You called Kennedy something he wasn't.  It was an accident that was Kennedy's fault and that he handled poor;y.  Helms on the other time was a lifelong racist, and his entire career was based off that racism.

Kennedy let an innocent women die, holds a position that allows innocent children to die, robs the rich with tax increases, and has other policies than are dispicable.  On top of that, he is an elitist snob.

Does anyone else find it hilarious that DWTL thinks he can lecture us about "class"?

I'm not claiming to be a classy person at all, I just find it hilarious that the people that tried to lecture me on class with Ted Kennedy have the nerve to say horrendous things about Helms now

The difference is Kennedy wasn't what you said he was in the post in the thread, Helms is every bit of what others on here are saying he was.  Yeah I know you agree with his racist policies and that in your mind makes it ok...

Pick and choose, pick and choose.  Obviously you can find no wrong in Ted Kennedy, and myself in Jesse Helms.  This is obviously a point that cannot be debated.  However, the utter lack of class in demeaning a man who has just died is all I could expect from you.

[DownWithTheLeft]

Jessie Helms deserves respect for what reason?

When did he ever show respect to gays, blacks and women?

Fcuk him. I'd let my dog piss on his grave for all I care.

Do we really wonder why so many posters leave this forum?

[DownWithTheLeft]

BUMP

I also brought up Kennedy in this thread as well.  For once I was a 100% right in my predictions

[DownWithTheLeft]

Jesse Helms was a piece of shit racist hatemonger who did nothing but damage this country and inflame decades old hatred for political gain. He was an awful human being and the world is better off with him burning in hell. No apologies.

Ted Kennedy did nothing except spew socalist ideals in hopes stealing from those who had earned it.  he was also a murderer, a coward, a spoiled blue-blood, and set out on a mission of destructive policies that would set America back decades.  He was an awful being and the world is better off with him burning in hell.  No apoligies

It must be nice to be a sheltered, oblivious rich kid, huh?

Its nice to be so much of an idiot that can't see that all I did was take what you said and apply it to Ted Kennedy.  Your blinders are on that much that you can't see why people think Ted Kennedy is a scumbag and his policies are awful?

Oh and I fully agree with this. Fuck Jesse Helms, I hate sharing my name with such awful pieces of trash.

I feel the same way about Matthew Shepherd

[DownWithTheLeft]

I didn't say a single thing about Jesse Helms policies; he was a hateful, racist individual who played off people's hatreds to win elections. Ted Kennedy was an awful person because he supported left-wing policies? Don't be a dumb.

And Ted Kennedy was a spoiled blue-blood who used his name to advance his career and get away with murder and other issues

[DownWithTheLeft]

Get away with murder? No.

If he were a spoiled blue-blood, he would have spent his life living off his family's money and partying (you have experience with this, I am told). Instead, he dedicated his life to public service, passing laws not to help his rich buddies but to help ordinary working people, minorities, the old and sick, women and immigrants.

Well I guess we'll have to disagree as to whether he used his name to get away with murder, but beyond that..Kennedy dedicated his life to public service and promoting goals which he thought would benefit people.  The fact is, Jesse Helms did exactly the same thing.  Which one had more noble goals is a matter of opinion, not fact

[DownWithTheLeft]

Okay then, so, for me, noble means helping the poor and downtrodden and minorities and to you, noble means restricting the rights of those same people. Good to know!

Or that I value personal responsibities and you value gov't handouts.  Either one.
