Yeah, right ... now you're going to try to tell us to only speak when spoken to?

Its up to Firewall to object to my interpretation of what HE said ... not you.

Then by your logic no one can criticize anybody. Your failure is epic.

Ok, peace for now! :rock:

R.I.P. Ted Kennedy, although not really a fan of his.

De mortuis nil nisi bonum dicendum est

Of the dead, nothing but good should be spoken

Okay, we should all agree with that, why?

It's called respect and courtesy. Give the guy a week at least.

I understand your point but how can anyone do this when his promoters are already using his rapidly cooling corpse as a tool to advance their political agenda?

Because then it just makes your side look petty and like you're slandering a dead man. Attack the issue, not the deceased. Two wrongs don't make a right.

Criticize the people who are using the dead person all you want. Just stay away the person themselves, at least for now.

It doesn't make anyone look petty to discuss the truth. It DOES make someone look petty to use a death to artificially advance their cause.

I doubt anyone here is saying anything about Kennedy that they wouldn't if he were still alive. This man has benefited mightily from the public's largesse, thrusting himself and his ideas (some of which were good) upon Americans for years. However, doing so means he's going to recieve the public's scrutiny for his misbehaving adventures.

Nope Sorry. Ted Kennedy was a self serving sociopath who does not deserve any accolades, especially when the Democrats are using him as a modern day Horst Wessel to advance their political agenda.

Not sure if this was allready posted or not, but.. WTH?

Who knows -- maybe she'd feel it was worth it.

Really August, I thought you were better than that. Have some class, like this rather prominent Republican: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7I8lUeJwQY
