Sen. Kennedy Rushed To Hospital

by cardboard 1, Sat May 17, 2008 at 11:50:24 AM EST

The Cape Cod Times is reporting that Senator Kennedy was transported by Medivac helicopter from Cape Cod Hospital. The Liberal Lion needs our prayers and thoughts right now

Sen. Kennedy was reportedly showing "stroke like symptoms." Even as of this week Teddy was out on the trail working hard for Sen. Obama....hopefully he will be back soon.

Said a prayer for Senator Kennedy. Thanks for the heads up. I do not have my television on.

Thoughts and prayers for Sen Ken.

He is one of the greatest voices the progressive movement has ever had.

If you are not voting Obama, please let me know so I can replace your sorry ass with another new voter.

"Stroke like symptoms (2.00 / 3)

Is unfortunately a vague term that ecompasses a lot. It could be something relatively minor or something life threatening. All we can do is wait and hope and pray.

Senator Kennedy (2.00 / 4)

accomplished more for a greater number of citizens as a Senator than he would have as President - he has been a great voice for the Democratic Party's most deeply held values
that won't change regardless of how he comes through this latest difficulty

My prayers are with Senator Kennedy and his family.

There has been no single person in the House or Senate who has been the voice for poor, sick and children in most of our life times like Senator Kennedy. He has always been the voice of those Americans who needed it most. I sincerely hope he can hear our voices now praying for him to be well.

prayers to him and his family

Praying for him and his family (2.00 / 4)

A man who didn't have to be a liberal; who has all the money he could ever need; but who chose to fight for healthcare for all for over forty years, and who has been the champion of countless liberal causes in the Senate. While other rich men would have been staunch Republicans fighting for the wealthy, Ted had been fighting for the little guy his whole life.

I hope and pray for a swift and complete recovery.

John McCain supports privatizing Social Security.

Hillaryis44, ever the stalwart Democrats, had these kind words for the Senator:

Hi all,

Well, for what it is worth, my thought on hearing the news about Kenendy was not sweetness and light.

He has played an ugly role in this primary and he has a lot to answer for in his life.

I am sujrfe B O will now rush to his bedside and hold his hand. what headlines those will be.

I hate to say this but I think something hinkky is going on with this hospitilzation of TK. Eulogizing him practically to get out talking points for Obama .. sounds fishy. Anyone who would leave someone to die is capable of most anything.

Ugh. But I'm sure every REAL democrat, or any human being that is not completely shallow for that matter, wishes you a speedy recovery, Ted. :)

Re: Sen. Kennedy Rushed To Hospital (none / 0)

Look, that site is filled with the deepest creepiness. I'm not sure you even want to quote them here, I mean, what's the point?

I don't think that would be tolerated here under these circumstances.

Re: Sen. Kennedy Rushed To Hospital (1.00 / 1)

The problem is linfar and the rest astroturf over here frequently to rec the worst diaries and sometimes tumble around in the comments. They use MyDD as an outreach program for Hillis44.

can't rec, can't rate, par for the course

Re: Sen. Kennedy Rushed To Hospital (2.00 / 1)

This is just kind of inappropriate to this particular thread though, unless someone actually was provocative here and I don't see any Hillary supporters being anything but kind here.

Re: Sen. Kennedy Rushed To Hospital (2.00 / 1)

But kicko, don't forget: WE NEED THEIR VOTES IN NOVEMBER! How dare you call them out for their vile, insensitive comments. Don't you know linfar and dot48 are the real democrats?

And don't you even think about pointing out how Little Green Footballs is being more respectful of Kennedy than a site full of real Democrats like HillaryIs44, that would be just plain wrong. Wake up!

Re: Sen. Kennedy Rushed To Hospital (2.00 / 2)

I was one of the people who was critical of Ted Kennedy when he was discussed here a few days ago. I stand by my comments but I would certainly never wish ill on him or anyone for that matter. Just because I was critical doesn't mean I am unfeeling or uncaring. I hope whatever has happened with him is not serious and he has a quick and speedy recovery.
