Just goes to show that if you repeat the same bullshit enough, people will start to accept it as fact.

Shut up, COMMIE!

Well I'm a Canadian centrist, so I suppose that by American standards that means I could teach Karl Marx how to such eggs.

You know, i spent about 250$ at the hobby shop after my workers comp check came in yesterday, and its your fault

Seriously though, you dont think you really need 'proof' that anyone actually did anything for them to be guilty on a message board? Teddy is the devil, people above me said so, and I read it in the National Enquirer once!

Hey, I gave you an out

I'd be afraid to add up how many thousands I've spent on that stuff since high school.

Kennedy isn't exactly what I'd call a personal hero or anything, but I tend to call bullshit when I see it. Really throws people when I'm arguing a point of law and shoot down someone who has made a statement supporting my argument.

There seems to be more to it than that according to this article.

http://article.nationalreview.com/pr...U3ZWNhYTk0NGQ=

It still has the scent of BS about it though.

As I said previously, quoting that particular author as a source.

Good question.

I'm sick of the non-stop coverage. He's dead, get over it. There are a ton of other Senators his age, and they're probably thinking to themselves, "Am I going to get even one-tenth of the coverage Ted got when I die?"

Yes the authors use Kengor as one of their sources, but he is far from the only source on which the authors rely. The I am also aware that the National Review is a conservative publication.

For such bad guy, thousands and thousands are showing up for his memorial.
Even Republicans are making nice speeches.
Ted must have done something good in his life for this type of turn out
