You obviously just don't get it. This isn't about Mr. Kennedy or how I feel about him. I don't believe I've said anything in his defense, so I don't know where you are getting this crap about waiting for a eulogy. This is about how WE are perceived on a PUBLIC board. You make us appear to be the hate-mongering nuts the libs are always worried about. Congratulations, Mr. Kennedy would be proud of you. You've done nothing but play into his hands.
It's threads like this that push me closer and closer to leaving OCDO for good. Thankfully, most of the people I've met here in Idaho tend to have a bit more class than that.

Agreed completely. The writings here are nothing less than damaging to all gun owners. I wonder how many of these hateful people wrote to Kennedy while he was alive and expressed these sentiments. I'll bet the answer is.....zero. I guess it's just so much easier to throw stones at a dead man. Regardless, the hatred here will give anti gun zealots great ammunition on why people should not carry guns. Really, would you want a person with this much hatred walking around with a gun? Couldn't they guy fly off the handle and start shooting at any time? Thereare somequestions they will ask. And they'll keep asking as long as the ammo for a good argument is provided by the very people who want to own and carry guns. Shooting yourself in your own foot, cutting off your nose to spite your face, and screwing other gun owners in the process is not good for the cause. If you want to be treated as an adult you must be an adult. I, for one, will not post here anymore, and I have instructed my wife to stop donating, simply because I do not want to be associated with people of such low character who would damage what I believe in for the sake of publicly expressing their inner anger.

Correct. So many gun owners look like hateful, mean-spirited, pro-torture, anti-urban, bible-beating southerners.

That sort of horribly un-cool person scares off everyone else.

That's right, and the ugliness is almost scaring me off. The obvious division between people here is so obvious, yet this is "supposed" to be a place where ideas bring the cause together.

We have our guns, Kennedy has died, and maybe his soul will deal with his "human-ness" in the afterlife. To have this forum bashing him at death does nothing for carry rights except to make us look bad. Let's stick with the real concern here:Carry Rights.

I made fun of Abu Musab al Zarqawi when he died. I made fun of Joachim Peiper when he died.

What's special about Teddy Kennedy? He didn't even have a fig leaf of ideology to hold up in front of his murder.

I celebrated when arafat and hussein died too. Evil people should be reviled, and their deaths celebrated.

I wish no ill on any man. However, I don't feel bad with his passing.

Hopefully we're not wishing for Ted to be back when Massachusetts elects the senator to fill his spot.

No one said you shouldn't celebrate. No one said anything about feeling bad or sympathetic. What do you folks not understand about how the public judges other people? Would they be wrong in calling you a nut case? Sure, they might be, I really don't know any of you. And maybe it's wrong for people to jump to conclusions about you (or us) based on one rash statement. Unfortunately for us, the fact is that they do judge us. And we do the same with others every day...we size people up, make assumptions about what kind of people they are. Usually this is based on previous experience with similar people dressed like you, same color of skin, etc. Personally, I think it's healthy for people to make judgments like that. It's called discernment and you wouldn't be able to choose good friends or make responsible decisions about without it.

The point being this: If I and others are having a difficult time discerning weather you're a nut job, how do you think outsiders to this forum will judge you? I wouldn't take offense, but your comments not only make you look bad, they make me look like a nut too.

For the record, we've already lost a few members here in Idaho the past year because of attitudes like this. Didn't your moms ever teach you "If you can't say anything nice...."

I've enjoyed being a member of this forum, however, after viewing some of the comments on Sen. Kennedy I'm now ashamed to be one. I'm sure that some of you will flame me because of my comment.

I do not miss the man, I did not care for the man due to his past and present actions. lets look at the hypocrisy that surrounded him. He authored or (co-authored) a bill to require a special election be heldshould a state representative or senator pass.
And on his death bed, he tries to change the law so someone can be appointed instead of elected. Why, because he doubted that obamacare could be rammed down our throats without an appointed person to take his spot.

All public officials should be elected instead of appointed, once more and more appointments take place, we have completely lost any and all control of our government! That goes against every fiber of our constitution! And old teddy used our constitution as toilet paper. He was the most anti-constitutional figure in the country IMO and I say Good riddance!

Who judges the judges? What gives the collective 'them' any status above the collective 'us'?

In short... who cares whe the neighbors think? Status Quo 'n all that? Don't dare go outside the box... write below the line... think the unthinkable? I'll leave that stuff to the sheep.

I'veobserved thissocialist traitorin politicsmy entire life... particularly during the Vietnam war whenI was an activeparticpant. I don't represent anyone but myself whenI sayI am glad he's dead... finally. I doubt thatI'm alone in this... but even ifI was, I'd still say it. I hope hespends an eternity in hell... terrorized and drowning in the dark confines of a 1967 Oldsmobile Delmont 88, over and over and over...

Though I would never wish death on anyone, Kennedy was a despicable man who will not be missed or mourned by me or any of my liberty-minded friends.

Justice will finally be served.

Even the most evil men have ONE good quality.

His snide snub of my family in '71 gave me all the proof I needed about
McCain when he used the exact same one before he ran for pres.
"You don't know what you are talking about, I am a senator!"

Proving to me he was no better than that killer. An elite snob.
But please don't forget that Ted tampered with evidence to get his
nephew off of rape as well. Tore up an entire lawn to get rid of
anything that would convict him. Cream of the crop, just hope the devil
doesn't kick him out just to get rid of him from the hell he deserves.

He is one of the primary reasons we have a 10 trillion and skyrocketing deficit.
40 years of bloating the government on the backs of americans, and
they have the stones to say what a great job he did. He has been the
problem for 40 years, that isn't something to praise. He gets off easy
we are stuck with his messes he leaves behind.

But I am curious.....
What happens to his war chest? It isn't his, so he can't leave it to his estate
to hand out, so what happens to all that money?

Agreed, karma always catches up to you. To tell any person to hold their tongue about horrible people like Mr Kennedy, is telling them it is not "P.C." to hold people accountable for their actions even after their death. Yet as soon as they pass your only allowed to remember the good they did and any horrible thing they did is not to be remembered or mentioned

By doing so your telling people when and how they are allowed to exercise their rights. Now I am not going to protest at his funeral, but I will still speak my mind about this horrible man. The family has a right to a peacefully burial and everyone should respect their privacy during this time. Yet NO ONE has the right to tell another AMERICAN to hush about how they feel about a person just because they have passed.

There are a lot of people to include M. Jackson and Mr Kennedy that I spoke my mind on and I will tell people that I do not respect or feel sorry for them. I feel sorry for the family for their loss and hope it is a peaceful time for them, but I WILL not ignore the horrible things that he did when he was alive and I refuse to ignore it because they have passed. What is truly sad is we have members here telling others to hush just because he has died and they should not speak their true feelings because it may ruffle some feathers. That you should say good things about a man whom you would not even go out of your way to save and you must respect him now that he has passed. That is truly sad, that any Constitution believing and supporting American would demand this of others.

Again I hope he gets everything that God feels he deserves and judges him based on how he treated others.

I don't think any of us are telling you how to feel, or not to share your feelings. There is a difference between talking about his actions in life and judging them for what they are and saying "I hope he burns in hell, and rotts, that dirty bastard!" The first example shows maturity, it shows you can honestly access a situation without letting your emotions and anger get in the way. The "burn in hell" example proves only that the people who say such things are morons.

Zack991, I have no problem with your last post. Others, take note of how he shared his feelings without coming off as an ass.

Please bear in mind that I didn't say people should hush. After all this America and we can say what we please. On that we agree. I'm just ashamed of how some of it is put is all. And, of course, this being America I have this right.

It is evident to me that there is a sick, hateful, and bitter element that becomes gun owners.

This ribald enmity appears nowhere else in society.

Such people, bereft of compassion, enable all manner of abuses of one to another, from the torture of prisoners to the abuse of citizens by police.

What is it about guns that attracts such a preponderance of uncivil and spiteful people?

It is not directly point at you or any member here, but other forums that I am apart of have many members doing this and even some moderators deleting post of members who share their feelings about him even in a mature manner. I am just trying to remind everyone here of their rights as long as it does not violate the sites COC.

I will not post the link to the other site, but i do agree there is a way to maturely speak your mind with out all the "nasty terms". It was the other sites censoring and the few phone calls I got from liberal family members who want to gag other people from speaking against this horrible man.

Even if you feel this way, I suggest you share your feelings somewhere else as it's not welcome here. Weather or not you liked the guy, dead people deserve your polite mourning, or at the very least your silence, just as your family deserves my silence when ppl like you kick the bucket.

BTW, I didn't like his positions on things much either.

Perhaps I will take the Mark Twain route--send anote saying I can't attend thefuneral, but that I approve of it.
