"I personally cannot think of a more deserving person for this to have happened to."

As you've probably read [1], Ted Kennedy was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. But you probably haven't read the responses to the news on right-wing forums and comment pages. To be fair, many comments are respectful. But many are not. The title of this post comes from an comment on Free Republic. [2] Here's one [3] from Michelle Malkin's comment page:

I just didn’t think a tumor could live in that much alcohol. I don’t have much sympathy for him. Hes used every power and every opportunity to throw this country off the cliff. Goodbye Ted………

After the break, many more comments. Reader discretion advised.

Here's another from Malkin's page [4]

When Ted crosses over, I’m sure he will be welcomed by the millions of Cambodians, Laotians, and Vietnamese who died because of his wretched policies. He has been the worse Senator of the 20th century and perhaps the most destructive political force in the history of the country.

And another [5].

This will give the donkeys two potted plants in the Senate, along with Tim Johnson.
Actually, make that three with Byrd.
No, make that four with Lautenberg.
If I pray for anyone, it’ll be Mary Jo Kopechne.

Another [6]:

Maybe we’ll get a death bed confession of what actually happened early morning July 20, 1969? But I won’t hold my breath …

When I think of the millions of unborn children murdered in the womb thanks in part to his efforts.. Well, let’s just say that I hope that they get to judge him.

Here are some comments on an article [7] from Townhall.com:

"...and I thought it was going to be a...
bad day. Thank YOU Cancer!"

I'm disgusted at the number of talk radio heads wishing this ne'er-do-well stumblebum and enemy of freedom 'the best' when all he's done is further promote the welfare state that will destroy America eventually.When he departs this life is up to God; in the meantime, he should have had the decency to fade into the shadows decades ago, rarely to be seen and never to be heard.

This at least answers one question I've had for years about the "Charasmatic Kid From Chappaquidick" - he might have a brain!!

...here's nothing wrong or unchristian in any of these posts. The man is the most unchristian, narcissisitic, pontificating, annoying bag of ill wind this country has ever had the misfortune of having to deal with.

I'm sorry you feel that opinions expressed are out of line but, my feeling is that he is reaping what he has sown.

He obviously never gave a moments thought to Mary Jo so why should we fake concern for him?

To my way of thinking, it's God checking his books and maybe extracting a bit of penance from someone that really needs to say his Hail Marys and Our Fathers.

But the most bile comes, as expected, from FreeRepublic. Here are some of the worst.

” I pray for his soul..”

The plain teaching of the Bible is that deceased individuals do not know or do anything (Psa. 146:4; Ecc. 9:5, 10). They will remain asleep in their graves until the time of their resurrection (John 5:28-29; Dan. 12:2; Job 19:25-26; 14:12-14).

Better pray for him now but theologically I cannot see him
honestly repenting. Ted has been pro-death his whole life and is at least guilty of manslaughter with his own hands with millions of deaths with hisstance on abortion.

Theologically, no chance. He might as well eat pizza, get drunk and buy hookers in his hospital room.

I too witnessed this arrogant, pompous, leftist blowhard belittle citizens in many congressional hearings. There is a special place in H.E. double toothpicks awaiting the Senior Senator from Mass..

And, then the day after G. W. Bush, into his presidency by a few months, in a kind gesture, invited Teddy, Patches, and the rest of the Kennedy family over to the White House to pre-screen the new motion picture on Pres. Kennedy;

Within the week, this Teddy slob got up before congress and totally trashed Bush.

Sorry about Teddy’s problem, but he is and always has been low class garbage! Mary-Jo might be smiling!

The wrong person got out of the car back in 1969.

Everything Teddy has done since then has been to hurt the USA.

Should the millions of SE Asians who were killed or spent years in “reeducation camps” after Ted Kennedy led the charge to stab them in the back and cut of funding to the RVN all bless him?

Would you say good things about Pol Pot if you heard he had a brain tumor? Teddy Kennedy was Pol Pot’s biggest enabler. All of that blood is on BOTH of their hands.

As a medical professional it is my professional opinion upon studying the location of the tumor and the type of tumor that it was caused by crushing empty beer cans against the side of the head.
