Is Coakley the blue Palin?

[Conan71]

Like I said, his past history and voting record speaks for itself. If you don't agree, prove it wrong.

The latest, and certainly not the only, misogynist acts by Brown and supporters:

And...there's plenty of video on the internet capturing Brown 'pimping' out his daughters on national TV, however I chose a messenger you could undoubtedly relate to and appreciate:

Kennedy left Mary Jo to drown? Were you there? Sounds like YOU are channeling every right wing blow-hard who has hated Kennedy from day one. Let the Kennedy thing go. I know its hard, but you can do it. Really.

What is the relevance of some weirdo shouting out in the crowd at a campaign rally and some blogger claiming that the candidate's head nod was a result of the comment?  That takes a huge, huge stretch to turn that into "Brown is a misogynist".  Along the lines of how you white-wash the Kopechne incident, you weren't there, how do you know what the head nod was all about?

Or that nice young man from North Carolina who was knocking boots (apparently without a Jimmy hat) with a campaign aide during the '08 POTUS campaign while his wife was suffering from breast cancer.

Were we talking about Edwards? Hmm.....must have missed something in here. You guys LOOOVE to deflect. I expect it's because you have nothing substantial.

Oh, I get it now. You were assuming I am an Edwards supporter? Nope. Wrong. Try again.

And you are obviously confusing the terms Misogyny and Misogamy.

Well, seeing as the Kennedy incident was 41 years ago, with no eyewitnesses, it would be impossible to condemn Kennedy for something as heinous as to deliberately let someone drown. The fact is nobody knows, it was a terrible tragedy, and the only two persons involved are now both dead. Its humorous that you think a rational argument is 'whitewashing'. Whatever.

The Brown incident had dozens of eyewitnesses, many of whom have come forward and stated they saw Brown nod and acknowledge the statements, laugh, and shrug it off. It will certainly be debated, but it's actually a huge huge stretch to compare Kennedy to Brown, so there you have it. 

The daughter pimping is pretty good though, don't you think?

[FOTD]

It's hilarious....

So is that idiot a$$hole Edwards....

It's time to move on. The Twit vs. Sh!t race is over!

No "eyewitnesses"? Are you crazy, what about Teddy? As for being deliberate, do you recall how long after the accident Teddy notified the authorities? How about after the car was discovered and numerous hours after the accident. You can spin away, but I believe it is possible to condemn him.

Still scratching my head over that homophobe/teabag contradiction. As for pimping his daughters, I agree that was a terrible joke. But if that constitutes misogyny, then I think this conversation is over.

It is possible to condemn him for certain crimes, of which he was indeed found guilty of. Waiting 9 hours to notify the authorities is not acceptable. 

It is not possible, however, to condemn the man for deliberately letting someone drown. That could be considered manslaughter and there simply wasn't then, as now, enough proof to condemn the man for something so heinous, as you were trying to do in your earlier post. Please fill me in on what I'm 'spinning' here.

As far as Brown's views on homosexuality, marriage rights, etc., look it up.

As far as Brown's involvement in the 'Teabaggers' movement, look it up.

And yes, Brown pimping out his young daughters is a misogynist act.

You don't have to agree or disagree with it, but it is what it is.

Substitute the word "convict" for "condemn" and you will probably get a few more to agree with you.

When the most liberal of you libs learn to quit using the disgusting term "teabagger" I will start to take your comments more serious than a speck of lint. 

But let's remember coco, it was the 'Teapartiers' themselves that coined the phrase.  Whether it was by mistake or not, it's not the left's fault.  It is probably the left's fault for continuing it on, but you gotta admit, it makes you chuckle.

agreed. 

Okay, I am watching the news and the coverage of Scott Brown visiting DC is way over the top.

Wow. Classy. Your mother must be very proud of you.

The Last of The Kennedy Dynasty

As soon as his cancer was detected, I noticed the immediate
attempt at the "canonization" of old Teddy Kennedy by the
mainstream media. They are saying what a "great American"
he is. I say, let's get a couple things clear & not twist
the facts to change the real history.

1. He was caught cheating at Harvard when he attended it. He
was expelled twice, once for cheating on a test, and once
for paying a classmate to cheat for him.

2. While expelled, Kennedy enlisted in the Army, but
mistakenly signed up for four years instead of two. Oops!
The man can't count to four! His father, Joseph P. Kennedy,
former U.S. Ambassador to England (a step up from
bootlegging liquor into the US from Canada during
prohibition), pulled the necessary strings to have his
enlistment shortened to two years, and to ensure that he
served in Europe, not Korea , where a war was raging. No
preferential treatment for him! (like he charged that
President Bush received).

3. Kennedy was assigned to Paris , never advanced beyond the
rank of Private, and returned to Harvard upon being
discharged. Imagine a person of his "education" NEVER
advancing past the rank of Private!

4. While attending law school at the University of Virginia
, he was cited for reckless driving four times, including
once when he was clocked driving 90 miles per hour in a
residential neighborhood with his headlights off after
dark.. Yet his Virginia driver's license was never revoked.
Coincidentally, he passed the bar exam in 1959. Amazing!

5. In 1964, he was seriously injured in a plane crash and
hospitalized for several months. Test results done by the
hospital at the time he was admitted had shown he was
legally intoxicated. The results of those tests remained a
"state secret" until in the 1980's when the report was
unsealed. Didn't hear about that from the unbiased media,
did we?

6. On July 19, 1969, Kennedy attended a party on
Chappaquiddick Island in Massachusetts . At about 11:00 PM,
he borrowed his chauffeur's keys to his Oldsmobile
limousine and offered to give a ride home to Mary Jo
Kopechne, a campaign worker. Leaving the island via an
unlit bridge with no guard rail, Kennedy steered the car
off the bridge, flipped, and into Poucha Pond.

7. He swam to shore and walked back to the party passing
several houses and a fire station. Two friends then
returned with him to the scene of the accident. According
to their later testimony, they told him what he already
knew - that he was required by law to immediately report the
accident to the authorities. Instead Kennedy made his way
to his hotel, called his lawyer, and went to sleep.
Kennedy called the police the next morning and by then the
wreck had already been discovered. Before dying Kopechne
had scratched at the upholstered floor above her head in
the upside-down car. The Kennedy family began "calling in
favors", ensuring that any inquiry would be contained. Her
corpse was whisked out-of-state to her family before an
autopsy could be conducted. Further details are uncertain,
but after the accident Kennedy says he repeatedly dove
under the water trying to rescue Kopechne and he didn't call
police because he was in a state of shock. It is widely
assumed Kennedy was drunk, and he held off calling police
in hopes that his family could fix the problem overnight.
Since the accident Kennedy's "political enemies" have
referred to him as the distinguished Senator from
Chappaquiddick. He pleaded guilty to leaving the scene of
an accident, and was given a SUSPENDED SENTENCE OF TWO
MONTHS. Kopechne's family received a small payout from the
Kennedy's insurance policy and never sued. There was later
an effort to have her body exhumed and autopsied, but her
family successfully fought against this in court, and
Kennedy's family paid their attorney's bills.... a "token of
friendship"?

8. Kennedy has held his Senate seat for more than forty
years, but considering his longevity, his accomplishments
seem scant. He authored or argued for legislation that
ensured a variety of civil rights, increased the minimum
wage in 1981, made access to health care easier for the
indigent, funded Meals on Wheels for fixed-income seniors,
and is widely held as the "standard-bearer for liberalism".
In his very first Senate roll he was the floor manager for
the bill that turned U.S. immigration policy upside down and
opened the floodgate for immigrants from third world
countries..

9. Since that time, he has been the prime instigator and
author of every expansion of an increase in immigration up
to and including the latest attempt to grant amnesty to
illegal aliens. Not to mention the pious grilling he gave
the last two Supreme Court nominees, as if he was the
standard bearer for the nation in matters of "what is right"
What a pompous @#$%&!!

10. He is known around Washington as a public drunk, loud,
boisterous, and very disrespectful to ladies. JERK is a
better description than "great American". "A blonde in
every pond" is his motto.

Let's not allow the spin doctors to make this jerk a hero --
how quickly the American public forgets what his real
legacy is - a piece of -----!



heh!
