That''s sad lib-crusher...
If you try, it''s easy to gain something even from those you oppose. You just have to decide whether you are capable of making the effort to look.
A couple of examples...
I disagree vehemently with Al Sharpton...in many ways he may actually hurt those he purports to defend. However, no one can deny that he has, at times, raised awareness of racial issues.
I disagree as vehemently with Rush Limbaugh, yet he does perfomr a service by giving a very public voice and awareness to preceived conservative viewpoints.
I wish neither any harm, I simply disagree with their positions and acknowledge their ability to get their points across.

Hello Woman Democrat Voters

The Kennedy Era of Propoganda.

Fuzzy Bear can you give us gals something to smile about ?

well lets just say that Hillary made a good showing, if she had been able to put her best foot forward earlier in the race things may have been different,
the trouble was, we all knew Hillary very well,
we only later confirmed our suspicions about Obama when it was far too late.

But the nation as a whole wants CHANGE, change to what we don`t know,
and where do Women voters find a party that stands for their Ideas?
there is none.

the Old Kennedy Womanizer Molesting Black Caccuss Party ?

or the Toe Tapping Airport Restroom closet **** Party ?

not much choice is there ?

I guess we just hate to see all those soccer moms revert back to the Kennedy Era of using woman like a piece of cheap meat (Marilyn Monroe and Mary Joe Kapichnik) and then discarding them in Chapaquitic Bay? Yes the old Black Caccus of The Kennedy Mob has won again, The Chicago Bosses have come out on top.

Yes Obama now has a Dream, he has been to the top of Chapaquitic Mountain, he has seen the promised land
and there is none to stop him.

who will you vote for ?

Fuzzy Has no clue, we have run out of options.

sincerely Fuzzy Bear

I was young when Bobby Kennedy died; I remember walking to school with my transitor radio on and hearing that he had been shot. I remember watching the train on television and the nation''s somber mood. As a youngster who was just old enough to remember JFK''s death (I was 6 when he died) and then Martin Luther King''s death, it seemed that our nation''s time to have heroic leadership was past.
Whether that feeling has ben borne out, I''ll leave others to debate; each year I have three dates to remember those feelings and think about what might have been.
Whether you like their politics or there personal lives, pause for a moment to thank the Kennedy and King families for their sacrifices in the service of our country and consider how you can make a difference in this world. Think on the main message I took from Senator Kennedy and Reverend King...don''t dwell on our differences, be they political, social or moral, instead celebrate our similarities and our shared humanity.
Not a bad message to leave this world, huh?

It was 40 years ago. It does not matter to so many who were not alive, or even an adult, 40 years ago. I know so many that don''t care that he lived or died.

NOT EVEN CLOSE TO NEWS. NEXT STORY

RFK was killed by a Palestian Christian in response to RFK being pro Israel. Sirhan Sirhan is still in jail 40 years later. If he had killed a mere mortal like the people who post here, he would have been out 30+years ago. We need equal justice for all.

If you will go back and read the transcripts from the trial, Sirhan was convicted for his attack on the American political system, not for his attack on an individual. He was sentenced to death that was later commuted. He is consistently turned down for parole for his lack of remorse for his crime and based on his psychological profiles.

He didn''t kill a mere mortal though. He killed Bobby Kennedy. He killed an idea. he killed a hope. He killed a movement. He killed a dream.

Bobby Kennedy was a ***, not a good husband and not a good father. He betrayed his Catholic faith and suffered the consequences. Karma is a...not a nice lady.

please expound on how the supposed betrayal of his Catholic faith in combination with the accusations that he was not a good father or husband had anything to do with a nutcase gunning him down in a hotel kitchen.
