Cite? I don’t believe there was any such conviction related to the death of Kopechne - or do you mean he was drunk at some other time?

Christ, are you actually over 40? I assumed you were a teenager.

Maybe I overstated the case. I think it was leaving the scene of an accident.

Less than Eisenhower. What’s your point?

People are asking for cites that Ted Kennedy was drunk? Here I, ignorant foreigner that I am, thought that that was sort of like questioning the Catholicness of the Pope, or the wooded nature of the locale of bear scat.

That said, I believe it’s the Republican ticket that’s ahead in the DWI conviction department, by a count of 3-0. Of course, those were just youthful indiscretions, and are in no way an indictment of the leadership abilities of the esteemed gentlemen, because when Bush and Cheney drove drunk, they had the foresight not to drive off a bridge with a passenger. That’s the sort of good judgement that a person likes to see in leading politicians.

Milroyj claimed that Kennedy had been convicted of a drunken driving offence in relation to the death of Kopechne. That’s what I was seeking a cite for. He’s now withdrawn that assertion, as far as I can tell.

Oh fuck off, Dewey. Eisenhower was a General in at least two wars, so deaths are expected. How many people did John F Kerry kill?

Ya’ think?

Yes, he was convicted of that. He got a suspended sentence, I believe.

I have no dog in this race but you do realize that you’re making yourself seem really sillly right? You’re basically saying it is okay for a General DURING war to have deaths under their belt but a soldier who is being directed DURING a war is responsible for his kills?

That is beyond stupid.

And John Kerry was an officer in one war, so deaths are expected. Again, what’s your point?

Jesus, milroy, I’m one of the most conservative folks on this board and you’re fucking embarassing me with this stupid line of argument.

Enough, milroyj. I gave your thread the benefit of the doubt that maybe you had some coherent point to make. You don’t…or aren’t bothering to. You’re just slinging shit right and left.
That’s called trolling, and you will stop it, immediately and for good. You have been warned, explicitly and repeatedly, about this type of behavior before, so you certainly should recognize a warning by now. You are dangling by the thinnest thread possible as it is, so this will be referred to the admins for review.
This thread is locked.

With all his medals, how many people has Kerry killed?

As a combatant in the Vietnam War? Several. Why?
