The outpouring of cliches and bogus praise, designed to conceal rather than illuminate, that is churned out by the American media in lieu of analysis regarding this man and the hate consumed agenda he pursued, is simply appalling. Not a single commentator on the television networks, cable outlets or major daily newspapers addresses the central issue: what does it say about modern American politics that a proponent of racism and repression at home, and defender of fascist and military dictatorships abroad should play such a major role?

  Perhaps the news that gays were getting married in California and a "person of color" was poised to become president was just too much for the "man made from pig parts" heart of Helms.
  Now if only those who followed his wretched ideology would follow his example and remove themselves as well, The U.S. and indeed the entire planet would be a far better place.

    Ted Kennedy is a great american and a beacon of freedom, at least according to George HW Bush.
    Yeah, I know that GHWB is a little left of center evil and despotism for you neo-con totalitarianists.
    But you're on the "lunatic fringe" or the far right, we already know

    "Ted Kennedy didn't die, but you sure could say a lot of the same about him."
    --But by "you" don't you mean *you* and all the other sex-obsessed right wingers whose lives are devoted to playing self-appointed sex police to the rest of the world (unless one of your fellow cons is involved)? You know I'm right, libsy. That's why wingers' favorite subject are abortion, the Kennedys, Bill Clinton and Barney Frank. You want to control what everyone else does with their private parts but you don't like to police yourselves.
    I see right through cons as clearly as Larry Craig sees through the slats in restroom stalls. You can't get laid so you've got your noses between everyone else's legs, trying to decide who we can have sex with and how often, what positions are "normal", and which circumstances are appropriate for reproducing and or raising our children. The solution to your preoccupation with Kennedy is to get a life. Try it, libsr. ;-(
