Sen. Ted Kennedy has been diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. Right wing bloggers and commenters celebrate.
Bear Creek Ledger celebrates by taking the opportunity to remind us of Mary Jo Kopechne. The Catskill Commentator simply makes fun of Ted.
How’s that for compassionate conservatism? more…

Apparently there was only one “right wing” blogger cited in that post (celebrate link).
Logical fallacy once again.
Bear Creek Ledger has a point though. I mean he did kill a woman, leaving her in the car still alive while he got on the phone with his family’s lawyers.
None of the bloggers at PW are ‘celebrating’. William, you should try to get a life. Really.
Karl…”Re: Ted
I have noticed that the commenters at LGF and HotAir have been mostly very compassionate, as opposed to HuffPo commenters on Tony Snow or Dick Cheney health stories. Despite Ted’s myriad sins, I would rather not be compared to HffPo commenters by anyone.”
My comment on Ted? Meh. I wish him well, in the end. We who all live, we will all die, and eventually all of us have to come to grips with our life’s summation, be it good or bad.
Somewhere, Mary Jo is smiling.
[…] these ‘mob’ members, when under the influence of groupspeak, come across as the most mindless, cowardly, and ignorant bunch of idiots we’ve ever seen; truly the effect of the MSM’s […]

Uh, I count at least three: RightWingNews.com, Sister Toldjah and Gateway Pundit.
I regularly check out these right-wing blogs, as well as Little Green Footballs and Flopping Aces. I can tell you that this is NOT at all out of character for these blogs. They spew a frightening amount of hate on a daily basis.
And when the news broke about Ted Kennedy’s illness, I encountered an enormous amount of laughter and jokes across the right-wing Web. It made me ill. Indeed, when I browse through these blogs, I always feel I need a shower afterward.
These are some truly sick people. As a progressive, the only reason I keep tabs on these blog is because of the old saying, “Know your enemy.” I believe we could eventually see a civil war in this nation and I just want to know who I’m going to be up against.
These bastards, (along with their hero, George W. Bush) have already done a frightening amount of damage to my nation. One of these days, We The People are going to fight back. If violence is what’s needed to stop this country’s descent into fascism, then by God, that’s what we’ll use.
Dude, get back on your meds.
I for one though, am not at all surprised that your allusions to violence and God come in the same sentence.
Bloggers are just exercising their rights to free press. Political opponents are not “your enemy.”
Are you having trouble finding food on the shelves at the grocery store? Are you being routinely harassed and/or detained by the police? Is life in America that rough for you?
Can you at least wait until after the election to start the civil war?
Did someone steal HBK’s login? He’s sounding…normal. And, spanking a fellow ‘progressive’.
But, here, read the LGF Kennedy thread for yourself.
That’s a model of near-cleanliness.
Compare that to the Tony Snow hatred from Kos &c.
Serr8d,
I’ve always been “normal”. It just that your perception of “normal” is usually limited to include only those that share life in your ideological fishbowl. Oh, the irony.
Well I wouldn’t wish an illness like that on anyone, even Teddy, a true dyed in the wool scumbag if ever there was. After all Teddys idea of post coitus is holding his partners head under water until she succumbs, and then bailing out his own fat ass, fully secure in the knowledge that “The mighty Kennedys” would allow no harm to come to their portly youngest. What a gallant guy.
