Teddy, who was on the left-wing of the party throughout his career. JFK wasn't particularly liberal for a Democrat of his era (which isn't to say that he was conservative). RFK was pretty liberal by the late 1960s, but before that he had a more mixed record which included a period working under Joseph McCarthy.

Ted Kennedy, the one who had dreams so big that they could never die.

Sort of unlike Mary Jo.

He really was. Shame his youngest daughter (seemingly conceived around the time he launched his White House bid) never got to know him.

All of them were rich kids who never had to struggle, had all their mistakes covered up for them (if only Marilyn Monroe and Mary Jo could speak) they even had a mentally ill sister who was a victim of abuse at the hands of their father, they didnt stand up against their father (authoritarian tendencies) and they were all either brought down by their dealings with organized crime (Lee Harvey Oswald was no lone wolf, I definitely believe was a mafia patsy. I suspect the same with Sirhan Sirhan) then you've got the fact they chickened out and didn't stand up for the Cuban people as well as global freedom and democracy during the Cuban Missile Crisis.

Earl Warren's Supreme Court were the true heroes in the pursuit of freedom and equality. Not the Kennedy family

Teddy of course, not only he was a despicable person but he was also a liberal lunatic

JFK on the other hand was a pretty moderate Democrat who was strongly anti communist, if I remember well he even donated money to Nixon during his senatorial race in 1950

RFK did the ground work for the Vietnam protests.  Teddy was a liberal lion due to his tenure in the Senate.

Technically it was Joe who paid it but yeah, HGD was too commie friendly to the Kennedys (and they probably viewed her as a threat for 1960 IMO)

Folks, RFK broke a bottle over a dude's head while at Harvard b/c the guy had the *temerity * to share a birthday party date with him and to be using the same bar for a celebration.

The prime generation Kennedys were uniformly terrible as human beings.

I think they are all three varying degrees of horrible as people but all fairly good for the country
