I did not say anything about him that was not true nor did I wish him dead or wish any bad upon him but I will not change my views of him because he is dead. I didn't say he deserved to die or that I wish he had but again I will not get all warm and fuzzy over the guy now just because he is dead.
So what kind of responses do you think you would have if Bush died tomorrow? Hmmmmm?
People are speaking the truth about him should we just forget because he is dead?
Will you let Bush off the hook that easy when it is his turn?
Bush dead eight years ago would have been the greatest thing to ever grace this earth. Just think no 911, no Iraq war, no recession. we would still have a surplus. Why can't Bush, limbaugh, hannity, and beck all die in a plane crash like lynard skynard
Do you consider the unrelenting attack of a man who just died of brain cancer to be inhumane or simply unAmerican? Has a floor been established for the mean spirited hate bestowed upon the internets, or can these obnoxious people get even lower?
I think its a little disingenuine to try to paint him as an icon, but maybe its also time to just bury the guy and maybe even forgive his failings.
He was a human being. Maybe he did some things that good, and some were pretty rotten and maybe his intentions weren't always in the right place. We've all done some pretty bad things, maybe not THAT bad, but nobody's perfect. Senator Kennedy was a politician, and politicians have friends and enemies. We'll have to let God pass judgement on him, nothing we say now matters.
But make no mistake, the left has absolutely no moral high ground to lecture ANYBODY on treating the dead with disrespect or to decry hate speech.

I swear I dont understant the worship of politicans. People that are paid basically to lie to you. I also dont understand the worship of celebs either.
Yes he passed away and may he rest in peace and his family find the strength but lets not act like the man was a saint or that he deserves something more then the other Americans that passed away yesterday. Where is your thread to honor them?
While there is truth being spoken there is even more opinion interjected.
And opinions truly do not matter. For those who run their mouth to continue on shows their lack of character but also brings them down to the level of the wrongs they are saying of the deceased.There comes a time when enough is enough and you let someone's Soul rest. Those that can not do that are simply juvenile.
That should also apply to those trying to silence any criticism that they do not like.
The entire OP was totally slanted and should have given any reasonable person pause. It is asking for vehement argument.
If you wish to honor Kennedy, do so without attack on others.
If you wish to attempt to diminish Kennedy, do so in a reasonable, not attacking, mode.
After all, in spite of the tone of the OP we do still have free speech.
