Just like George W. Bush is known by Margie Schoedinger as the "Rapist of Texas".
Just like Newt Gingrich is known by his first wife as "The Cradle Robbing Adulterer."
Just like Bob Barr is known by his former wives as "The Deceiving Adulterer."
Just like John McCain is known by his former wife as "The Serial Adulterer."
Just like Governor Sandford is known by his wife as "The Argentine Adulterer."
But to come on here and express your hatred for Kennedy at this time of his death shows you to be ... "The Pest of Propeller."

Well, since Locky didn't give you a list, I'll give you mine:
Reply
1) It's a collective, all of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. "And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor." For our freedom, they pretty much signed their own death warrants if captured.
2) Abraham Lincoln. First Republican President and the first president to fight for the equal rights of all men regardless of color.
3) Frederick Douglass
4) William McKinley, Jr.
5) Dwight David Eisenhower
6) Albert Einstein
7) Sir Winston Churchill
8) Douglas MacArthur
9) Ronald Reagan
10) Jonas Sauk
Is this good enough or do I need to keep going?

I seem to have hit a glitch in Propeller. I made a reply to mntnman 444's comment about Locky's mother having committed a crime when she had him, and it appeared under vidman04's comment about Helms and Kennedy, and when I tried doing it again, it appeared again in the same place. Yet Propeller correctly showed the mntnman post getting two replies.

I'm posting this reply directly to the same mntnman post; it'll be interesting to see where it shows up, and whether mntman gets instantly credited with 3 Replies. -

In reading the comments here, I'm sorry but I don't feel the same way. In fact, I feel nothing with his passing. But then again, I never respect a drunk, a murderer, a liar or a person who covers for a rapist. He's lived on the reputation of his brothers his whole life and was always protected by his father's money.

I grieve for the people he's hurt during his reign in the Senate. For all of the women he's groped during his drunken periods. I grieve for the family of Mary Jo Kopechne who never received the justice they deserved. May he be forced to answer for them now.-

Not a prob. I feel nothing for a slanderous piece of scum who has nothing more to do with his time than bash a dead man. Doesn't negate how hard Kennedy worked for Americans, & your comments will be washed into the sewer of time while his legacy lives for as long as America is a country. Must suck being a 'nobody.' -

BB64, do we have a hollow man here? Since you can empathize with all those people done wrong by Ted Kennedy, can you relate to the millions that were maimed and killed as collateral damage in our miscalculated war? Certainly, the Kopechne deserve justice, but do you know that family any better? Are you moved that a national decision was made in your name to suppress the number that experienced harm that did nothing it to this nation? I am just checking the temperature to see if you are thinking or just hating? I want to capitalize on your moment of morality in hopes it will remain focused to a better future. How do you feel about Sarah Palin trying to derail health care, the results causing deaths to people without available care? Ted is gone, how about Sarah?

Ted Kennedy was a person that took his position serious; whether you agreed with him or not, he gave thoughtful debate. He was a Lion of the era where the American people didn't see running the Republic as a reality show approved by spectators or groupies.

I too have feelings about Chappaquiddick. Far as that go, it was the same to get over the VP blasting a man with a shotgun while under the influence of drugs. That and a president that said he didn't hear about it for 3 days afterward or insist on a meaningful investigation.
I recognize some postings; where those who were conciliatory on a list of highly suspect activities, you are now outraged with the late Ted Kennedy.
I'll accept the call girls than the bathroom ballers.
I don't want to be dishonest and not say that I suspect there is some partisan level promoting abnormal disrespect knowing there is an opening for them to put another repug in the Senate. The depths of depravity, go that deep. Many speaking negatively have a chance to insist that living representatives live up to higher ideals. You can't send Ted Kennedy anywhere now. Your hate to the grave is worthless as well as senseless. I take that back, it is not worthless if it is a political assignation "on a dead man" for political gain.

The Senate record of Ted Kennedy is astounding, and every one of us (including the clowns who bash him) have positive influences in our lives that we can thank him for.

Three hundred of his bills were passed into law. From civil rights, children's health care, funding for AIDS treatment, increased minimum wage, mammography quality standards, educational opportunities, and hundreds of things in between....Ted Kennedy did more for the people of this nation than ANY other person in Congress. And he did it while working WITH republicans. How sad, to lose a man like that. -

It's Kennedy's fault. When Kerry was running for president, he's the one that had the laws changed. He couldn't stand the idea of Governor Mit Romney selecting a replacement if he won. It's very typical of his political "genius" and ability to work with both sides.....

in what way is this such a "tragic lose" great people die every day, no big parade for my 19 yr old daughter who battled a rare and painful bone marrow disease for 5 years, and with no insurance at 19 she got the greatest care in the world right here in the US, the system works just fine.

Admittedly, Ted Kennedy was not perfect, but if you can live 77 years without making a major mistake, you'll go down in history. The big difference is that there are things that he did that will go down in history. Great things that affected millions of lives and generations to come. Walk a mile in his shoes and hope you do as well.

Huh? 77 years without making a major mistake? He drove drunk and killed his passenger by letter her die. He didn't call for help, he contacted his political aids.

He covered for his nephew when he was charged with rape. This is the same nephew a few years later who paid out a huge cash settlement for sexual misconduct.
History, if written by Democrats still in love with the Camelot thing, will make his sound wonderful. He was certainly much less than wonderful.

Amazing, what a display of gutter level slander and classless, graceless, blatant hatred displayed by the faux noise crowd of hatemongering cons.
Reply
Your hero John McCain dropped napalm on daycares, burning hundreds of children alive, your hero Chickenhawk Cheney ordered 4500 soldiers to their death, and permanently injured 30,000 more for a neocon lie and for war profiteering. You cons worship the lying quitting caribu barbie, and the racist moron Joe the Plumber.
Speaking ill of the dead, we would expect nothing less from the rats on the burning, sinking ship, party of white suprema-cyst licking cons. -
