Dems need to know this - the latest attack on Kennedy
Guess Uncle Teddy belonged to his own little club in Harvard called the OWL.

If you associate with any right-wing wackos, this may be thrown in your
face...be prepared. And from where did this attack start? By the druggie himself, Rush.

Here is a statement from Harvard. The difference is is that there were no women at Harvard
when Ted was there.

Knowledge is power, be ready.

1. A school with no Women has a social club with no Women - sure sounds

the same as the CAP hate group with with its opposition to affirmative action, homosexuality, and the increase in minority and female students on the Princeton campus.

The fact that the OWL folks scream that their club is apolitical and was established to create friendships among members, and indeed has a diverse membership, ranging from all political, social and economic areas, will not cause the media to back off protecting Allito.

The fact that Harvard University severed ties with the final clubs in 84 because of a law Kennedy championed -Title IX of the 1972 Higher Education Act - does not mean the media, Rush, Wash Times, Fox - should not swift boat him like they swift boat war heroes into poorer choices for our leadership positions than those than ran away from war.


I do love my US Media - the Main Stream Media that never says the RW media is lying.

The "they just wanted to keep standards high" really explains the homosexuality hating.

4. and, since when was Ted nominated for SC Justice?
Also, look at the date he joined, and the reason for the 'clubs'. The Owls we 'elite'- The CAP's were 'concerned'- about what? diversity, acceptance, and tolerance- BIG difference.

Guess we need to consider the source- Rush is wrong- and slow.

8. well i personally think that as far as clubs go -- men should be
able to have their own -- and women should be able to have theirs. i'm not against mixed clubs but it might be nice for us gals or you guys to get together without the other sex present.

flame me if you want.

10. It doesn't even matter
Ted is an ELECTED official. If the great state of Massachusetts wants to elect Ted Kennedy, I don't care if he comes out and says he eats kittens for breakfast. He is in the Senate due to the will of the people. And what about Mr. Alito??? I hear what the people say, but the Democrats in Congress don't seem to care.
