how dare arlen specter who covered up JFK's murder impugn Ted Kennedy?

[mopaul]

i can't tell you how many republican assholes call into cspan to moan and weep and thrash about that awful ted kennedy daring to doubt the integrity of the honorable judge alito.

but i can't get over the audacious surrealism of arlen 'magic bullet' specter of the warren commission cover up grilling ted kennedy and insulting him, after arlen was involved in president Kennedy's murder and official cover up all those years ago.

crazy world huh?

1. I wonder why Ted has never called him on that?

[Ken Burch]

4. Because the Kennedy family position on BOTH assassanations

has always been "leave it alone. Don't go there."

[shance]

5. Because Arlen Spector will hide behind the press and Republican bullies

who will come after Kennedy just like they did his brothers.

[SoCalDem]

18. Because , unfortunately, Ted has skeletons rattling around in HIS closet

As good of a person as he has turned out to be, his Chappaquiddick episode has "wounded" him for his whole career.. With the media we have developed, the sad fact is that OUR politicians must be purer than Caesar's wife.


We have no media of any consequence "covering" for our people, and the other side has a plethora of "downplayers" in the press.

We also have more than our share of dangerously "bi-partisan" legislators who readily provide cover for the republicans , so they can get their pictures in the paper with them.

2. Can someone give me a run down of what happened?

I'm cube bound :(

[shance]

6. Arlen Spector was the author of the famed "magic bullet theory"

Famed because of what an absolute joke and insult it is toward the truth and legacy of John F. Kennedy.

[Horse with no Name]

3. what is even crazier

is that the American people have never DEMANDED the truth.
They have just laid down and bought the official lie like a bunch of hungry pigs being slopped.

8. The Warren Report was the beginning

of the realization that politicians can get away with blatant lying. We are now reaping the end rewards of that lesson.

I call November 22, 1963 the day we all died.

7. Arlen Specter - fascist prick

9. You know, lots of things happened many years ago.

I don't think you & I will ever know what really happened in the Kennedy assasintation. My grandchildren MIGHT, but we won't. I can't recall what it was, but there's some report from the assassination that was sealed for 75 years. Maybe history will know when it's unsealed.

I feel the same way about Dems criticizing Arlan as I do about the Pubs constantly criticizing Teddy about Chappaquiddick. Both happened in the '60's! That's almost 40 years ago! Both sides need to burry the hatchet and go on!

Two Senators were arguing today. That's all. It made for good TV! I understand Teddy won the argument.

19. we cannot let JFK assassination go

we can't let the JFK mystery stay buried any more than we can let 9/11 stay unsolved.

Everything significant that has happened in our gov't since JFK is connected back in some way. We must continue to get at the answers--we are getting closer on all of this every day--or we are, sadly, doomed to witness it over and over again (to paraphrase).

Comparatively the Chappaquiddick thing is a blip. An error by a flawed human being, that resulted in the death of one person. An accident that shouldn't have happened but did, and Senator Kennedy has had to shoulder the burden ever since...

10. Interesting point . . . since every time TK opens his mouth, you can

hear the chants of "Chappaquiddick" and "Mary Jo" from the freepturds who never heard of Laura Welch killing her boyfriend, or Bill Janklow . . .

Hey Arlen, where's the missing Autopsy photos of JFK?

[FreedomAngel82]

15. Probably in some secret safe in his bedroom

17. ewww

he made the pages stick together . . .

:scared:

11. Any idea what Ted Kennedy believes about the assassination?

I know most people in the motorcade believed that Oswald was the lone shooter. The Connallies, Yarborough, Jackie. Who knows what LBJ believed, he made statements all over the map on the issue.

For the record, I used to believe there had to be more than one shooter and that the "magic bullet" was nonsense, until I started looking at the case more closely. Now I don't think it's possible that there was more than one shooter. I guess I'm just one of those dumb-ass uniformed sheeple that get picked on around here, though.

12. And don't forget Gerald R Ford- head legal counsel for Warren Comm.

14. Some of these Senators should get SAG cards....

so much feigned protesting from the Republican Judish
on Dems trying to get to the truth about Alito.

16. I'm sorry, I can't agree with so-called 'magic bullet' theory

I have been a student of the JFK assassination for many years. "Magic bullet' theory was based on faulty assumptions about positions of JFK and Connaly in vehicle. I've been laughing about this "bullet would have had to stop for 1 second, turn right and change angles" or whatever, for years. Yes, there were some strange occurrences, coincidences, and lots of people who didn't like JFK. I'm not saying Oswald wasn't hired by someone, but he was a pretty good marksman and it has been shown time and time again that in all likelihood he could have done the shooting alone. Flame away.
