I see that no one is actually disputing that Kennedy's remarks were, to put it kindly, ill informed. At best, rather than get a defense of Kennedy, we're getting a rehash of the tired "yeah, well, Bush is a moron" ploy.

Well, if you really wanna get into it, it's not a ploy, it's a comparison.

If you're going to insist that "Kennedy's remarks were, to put it kindly, ill informed," then you should also admit that Bush's comments are ill informed, to put it kindly. But you don't. You call posting Bushisms a ploy. Well then, your comments concerning Kennedy are a ploy. "Kennedy Flunked History" is a ploy.



That's still a bitter liberal-partisan smear on your part that bypasses the truth: that Kennedy's arguments are baseless.



The fact is, you pick any politician who is scrutinized nationally during pretty much every hour he is awake --republican or democrat-- you follow that person with TV cameras pretty much every hour he is awake, and no matter how eloquent he is most of the time, he will slip up and say something stupid, once a day, probably several times a day.

And in the case of George W Bush, you can bet the liberal-partisan and bitterly anti-Bush media will be there every time he slips, to portray Bush in the most negative light they can manufacture.
And you can bet just as surely that they will blunt the impact of his most eloquent moments, through selective soundbyting.

Further, you can go through 8 years of Rush Limbaugh broadcasts, or some other conservative source, and find similar stupid remarks by Bill Clinton, for pretty much any day of Clinton's presidency.



Finally, the goofy remarks of Bush and Clinton were bungled words in an otherwise lucid and serious policy, and they just goofed a line.

In contrast to Ted Kennedy's remarks about President Bush, which are vicious accusations based on a pathetically flawed argument.
Not just a bungled sentence, but the very foundation of Kennedy's partisan attack is based on science fictional misrepresentation of the facts, and pure malice on his part.

    Liberals who bemoan discrimination, intolerance, restraint of Constitutional freedoms, and promotion of hatred toward various abberant minorities, have absolutely no problem with discriminating against, being intolerant of, restricting Constitutional freedoms of, and directing hate-filled scapegoat rhetoric against conservatives.

    EXACTLY what they accuse Republicans/conservatives of doing, is EXACTLY what liberals/Democrats do themselves, to those who oppose their beliefs.
