Can the righties EVER comment regarding Teddie K. without Mary Jo?

[Pepperbelly]

I swear, on C-SPAN, every time a gop brings up Ted Kennedy's name, they bring up what happened so long ago. What in the FUCK this has to do with Bush's Iraq policy is far beyond my ability to tie issues together.

Will they ever stop this?

[Azathoth]

1. They've got nothing else

It's a knee-jerk reaction that has been programmed into them, like a soldier being trained to call out only his name, rank and serial number if he is ever captured and tortured. Every time Kennedy punches a hole in the GOP's bullshit, the party faithful reflexively shout out Kopechne's name and then stick their fingers in their ears.

2. Brainwashing

That's how they control their followers. Simple catch-phrases like "tax-and-spend," "flip-flopper," "Mary Jo," etc, etc, etc. Find something to criticize, narrow the criticism to a word or two, and repeat that word or phrase until all their drones know the mantra by heart.

3. No. Twenty years after Ted is dead

most every reThug will continue to make a gratuitous reference to his 1971 accident, whenever Ted's name comes up.

4. They're fu*king morons...

so, no they can't.

5. Much of the anti-Kennedy is that they can't get over Nixon.

6. It's a device that works so they use it, just as they do the KKK

thing with Byrd. Whatever happened to Christian forgiveness?

14. Whatever happened to Christian forgiveness?

It is where it can always be found! On the tongues of bigots and hypocrites.

7. Nope. And they won't ever bring up Kerry's name without bring

up the swiftboat liars. That's why you need to find out who they are by name, find out who's sponsoring them and if there's any juicy information about these people, start drilling it home now.

9. Should we mention Pickle's victim

every time her name is mentioned? I believe drinking was involved in that one too.

[givemebackmycountry]

11. THAT is so right...

"So Mrs. Bush...Can you tell us what it is like being the only first lady in the history of the White House, to have ever killed her boyfriend and escape vehicular homicide charges?"

Just asking.

[Bluebear]

12. Touche!

[Pepperbelly]

17. I have never heard anyone EVER bring that up on tv during her ...

appearances. Not once. Not a single, solitary time.

Damned liberal bias. I don't blames the righties for getting spittle-spurting outrage over it.

13. It's been a decade now since Monica

and they are still obsessing over it.

But when it comes to stealing the 2000 elections, we need to get over it.
