How to alienate 80-85% of your readership in one fell swoop. Good for Salon for publishing it. Thanks to Jim Treacher for the link.
Outside the Beltway’s got a typically worthwhile post poking holes in RFK Jr’s article, too. Read it. And here’s Junior on CNN this morning showing off those famous Kennedy good looks.

I’ve always wondered what they thought they could do if they ever did manage to manufacture a preponderance of evidence to support their lie. Pretty dumb to resurrect a mantra that even the Daily Show wouldn’t touch to set off their 2004 Convention coverage.

It still won’t matter to a large segment of the moonbat population.

Someone broke into my house in 1977 and stole my guitar and my stereo.
OMG! Bush was AWOL from the National Guard on that very day!!!!!!!!!!

Considering what Kennedy’s grandfather Joe did in buying the election for RFK in Chicago, this is the consummate gall. Of course, the existence of the Kennedys on ANY public platform is consummate gall, so I shouldn’t be surprised. Why anyone listens to the Kennedys about anything besides quality scotch or willing women is beyond me. Hypocrites all.

As the lefties are usually in the habit of trying everything they can to win (cheat, steal,lie), they expect the other side to do the same. If you ever want to know what they are up to, just pay attention to what they are accusing others of doing.

If Looney Tunes liberals (like the Kennedys) were compelled to shed and shun lies and resort instead to truth, there would be no liberals.

Mob money, old mob money, still buying the news. Joe, quite a ‘family’ ya got there.

This is better than reading the Sunday Funnies.
They just can’t take a cue from their own mantra and “Move On”
Talk about really sore loosers – L-

My Dream! Ba Ba Kennedy Jr. for Prez. in “08″, X Gov. Jim McGreevey for VICE-Prez.

No matter how many times a conspiracy theory is disproven, they don’t care, they continue to believe it.

I have bad news for the Kennedy’s.
You guys are not going to win 2006.
GOP has a solid lock on the immigration issue and this one alone will win more seats for GOP instead of losing seats. You don’t believe me? Let us wait.
Since the Amnesty bill is now unconstitutional, we may have nothing before November election. That means Bush failed to close the issue for you liberals! Guess what the campaign ads gonna show?…
By the way, not only the tax bill is unconstitutional, but admending the current immigrational laws with the amnesty provision could also be unconstitutional too.
I think we have a great show coming.

I wonder what it’s like to live in a constant state of paranoia? To be surrounded by insidious conspiracies, convoluted theories and twisted logic in a search for some sort of truth?
It seems that the frustration of not being able to convince everyone that you are right and the whole rest of the world is wrong creates a unique form of insanity.

I think RFK Jr. still has some heroin in his system.
He really needs to STFU.
JammieWearingFool on June 4, 2006 at 4:03 PM
Cpilot, it’s the “I almost won – I hate Bush” syndrome.

Young Kennedy’s Daddy was young Kennedy’s Uncle Jack’s enforcer during the 1960 Presidential Campaign. He could look it up. The Kennedy Campaign was rife with (ahem) “Irregularities”, which contributed mightily to the Second Founding of “Camelot”, this time on the Potomac River. Fortunately for the Kennedy Gens, their Republica Opponent was that Great Patriot, the Wretched Nixon. With consumate grace and class the Wretched Nixon refused then President Eisenhower’s advice to contest the Presidential Election, a policy of patriotic renunciation unknown to then Vice President Al Gore, who has lacunae in his appreciation of of his Heritage, in the year 2000 AD. His tantrum in Florida was instantly forgiven by the LEFT Abstraction Cartel, who were content with only blaming him for LOSING . Is it “paradox” or “irony” that the despised Wretched Nixon, a drudge who actually wrote those books bearing his name, has been designated by far-sighted Clio to serve as the base-line for examining the ethical foundations of the Kennedy Gens?

Was anyone else reminded of Shakes the Clown?
We need a Kennedy reality TV show. It would be like Cops, Survivor and Who Wants to Marry a Millionaire all rolled into one.

The Salon article mentioned how the RFK, Jr. Stolen Election Conspiracy Theory isn’t anything new if you’ve read the Democratic Underground. The reaction of the denizens of the Democratic Underground aka DUmmies to this RFK, Jr. article has been chronicled in the DUmmie FUnnies:

This time I’m not scolding anyone about not being funny.There’s always an open season on Kennedy’s with regard to making them the butt of jokes. Have at it.
But I do want to make a point or two.
1. Liberals, even though they are deranged by Bush and generally lacking in common sense,make up nearly half of our country, according to the last election. So joke all you want, but don’t dismiss the fact that there are a lot of them out there, and they don’t play fair at any time, and get worse during an election cycle.
2. Most of the world is deranged, believing that we are either the Great Satan or an egocentric nation which needs to be taken down a peg or two. That their derangement has no basis in reality doesn’t change the fact that if they bomb you, you’re still dead.
And that hate many in the world feel for america isn’t because of President Bush-”Yankee Go Home” has been the expressed sentiment for decades. Because we’ve had enemies for decades who have been formenting hate against us. A lot of the hate which we have directed at us is because we have supported the nation of Israel, which is even more hated than George Bush.

Correction.
Most of the world we see on televison is deranged, and thing we are the Great Satan or an egocentric nation–perfectly willing to live here and avail themselves our satanic cash and our ego-centric health care system.

Doug “Liberals, even though they are deranged by Bush and generally lacking in commn sinse, make up nearly half of our country”. I have to respectfully disagree with you. Most people in this country are conservative, live conservative lives, and are good and decent people, but vote for the libs. “If everyone knew what the Dems were all about, no one would vote for them”. Rush Limbaugh. The liberal media by their own admission gave Kerry 15% of the vote in the last election, with their distortions and lies.
birdman on June 5, 2006 at 1:21 PM
I will be hearing about this until ‘08 at least. I was so wrong to think that maybe it would start to go away after ‘04. Bush won the 2000 election the same way as his predecessors did; by holding a majority of the votes in the electoral college. If you don’t like the rules I suggest you play a different game. The fact that Gore won a clear majority of the popular vote only shows just how retarded half the country really is.
