"Remember Chappaquidik"
 

A community college student in Massachusetts faces possible disciplinary action for shouting "Remember Chappaquiddick!" during an on-campus speech by Democrat Sen. Edward Kennedy.

Paul Trost, 20, a student at Massasoit Community College in Brockton, Mass., says he was upset by an introduction of Kennedy given by Rep. Stephen Lynch, D-Mass., in which the congressman noted how the long-time senator overcame hardship in life on his way to success.


Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass.

"Lynch said Kennedy had overcome such adversity to get to the place he was, and that's a bunch of bull," Trost said of the introduction, which occurred in the school's student center Tuesday morning.

Just as Kennedy began speaking, Trost was walking out of the room when he shouted, "Remember Chappaquiddick!"

"Most of the crowd gasped," Trost said. "Then I walked out of the student center."

The student says a campus police officer went outside and stopped him. He also saw some state troopers go outside, the type who accompany Kennedy around the state to provide security.

Trost says the cop took down his information and told him he would be hearing from school officials about disciplinary action. A spokesman with the campus police verified the incident but stressed that Trost was not arrested.

The student said one of his teachers confronted him after a class about the Chappaquiddick issue.

While it is funny and I think Kennedy is a moron, I think that young man should have kept his trap shut as he is painting himself in the same light as a Cindy Sheehan. Republicans in general, usually hold themselves to higher standards of common decency when it comes to protests at public speaking events.

Re: "Remember Chappaquidik"
 

I applaud this young man's actions and would wish that every single politician in America would face the same honest statement said outloud in a clear and honest voice.

The notion that Ted Kennedy overcame adversity to become a US Senator is simply absurd. Kennedy wasn't born with a silver spoon in his mouth, it was solid gold. His machine has every power block in Massachusetts sewn up and has for years.

It's too bad that George W. Bush doesn't have the same thing happen to him, but his Presidential entourage makes sure that there is no one within camera range of him when he speaks, and the SS would have arrested and charged this young man had he done the same thing to Bush.

I love free speech. Good for this Trost guy.

Too bad bush doesn't subscribe to free speech, 'cept in "zones" a few miles away from wherever he is speaking or in his "handpicked-friendly" town hall meetings.

Ted Kennedy and Chappaquiddick? Small beer in my view. A stupid and tragic mistake and cowardly coverup: yes. But there are bigger criminals out there.

Kissinger would be at the top of my list. This is a guy who should not just be shouted down at public appearances - he should be tried for crimes against humanity.

Speak for yourself...I heckled Hitlery Clinton at the Jay Leno show, and I certainly would do it again.

:D

Agree 100%. No excuse for bad manners. As with Cindy Sheehan, actions like this reflect poorly on the loudmouth, not on his/her victim.

OTOH, it's kinda sad - a crippled kitten kind of sad - that Chappaquiddick is the only bright spot of glory that the NeoCons and their groupies have left to hang on to.

When old Teddy kicks the bucket, what will they fall back on? "Remember the Alamo?" "One if by land, two if by sea?"

Don't forget Bill and Monica. But I agree. take out Teddy, Bill and Monica and the Right has nothing to say. No ideas except bad ones, no direction and definitely no vision for the future of this country. They seem to be all about raping the present for their own personal gain while *******-up their children's futures down the road.

Is there ANYTHING the Republicans have done right in the past 5 years that has substantially made our Country more competitive on the world scene? NO. Instead the world hates us and our Constitution has been consistently trampled upon.

Oh wait, we got tort reform. hurray.

The claim of tax reduction is specious as well. Since tax collection has been made more forceful and revenues have gone up, taxes haven't actually been reduced.

Bringing up Teddy's accident is the usual, sure sign of desperation. But kinda like the lefties bringing up Laura Bush's manslaughter, i.e., irrelevant and no excuse.

then there's nixon. if i recall he was a GOP'er....

Sssshh! They don't want you to bring him up. He wanted a nationalized health care system!

Ssssshh! Do not bring up LBJ and Vietnam! He was the one who used our Social Security funds to pay for the war that another Democrat started!

Keep digging your hole deeper... There is more than enough ammo on both sides and the more you try to wiggle out of responsibility, the deeper the hole you dig.

Once you figure that both sides are responsible, then lets work out of it.

Remember Sandy Berger!

Damn! Was that you?

Don't U BOYZ get it yet...There is CORRUPTION on both sides of the aisle...neither side has the mantle of rightousness....In other words both Political Parties are bought and paid for by special interests...its all about MONEY.

As you look out at the world you see American economic hegemony supported by the American military...What is good for business is good for America...its just not GM anymore. Call it an the American Empire , New World Order...its all about business. Now if this Corporate empire didin't exist neither would your standard of living..for it is the economy of scale that gives us our RD,reduces the unit cost and supplys jobs.

Who cares? Kennedy already screwed himself years ago.

A humanist would have yelled "Remember Mary Jo Kopechne." But perhaps that really would have gotten him arrested.

I doubt if you can find any of us "liberals" who don't think LBJ lied us into furthering a disastrous war initiated by the "brain trust" of a Dem President.

If only the current Bush supporters could be so impartial.

You lefties crack me up and are the primary reason I keep coming back here, thank you.

The difference between a protest against a Democrat and a Republican is that the Democrat will be allowed to speak, the Republican will be shouted down, happens time and again.

Only person I ever heckled was Sam Kinison one time. At a club in Palm Springs, he was late, drunk and destined to live another week, dogged him for about 30 minutes, out yelled his drunken ass and he had a microphone. "Oh, Oh, you suck, say something funny, quick before they start throwing their hearing aids at you" and so on. He usually was pretty funny, just not that night.

Maybe that's why Republicans are heckled because they suck also?:p

I kinda like ole Tobra, he's honoring me in his sig file everytime he posts, can't beat that.

I know. Let's talk about something that happened several decades ago. Mul, you seem to put this incident (Chappaquidik) in just about all your posts, regardless of the subject we are discussing. Perhaps you should just start a new thread on this topic. And it seems there are many of your ilk. Folks who are willing to discuss just a very narrow bag of issues, all involving real or imagined mis-steps by Democrats. You and Mr. Trost have something in common, and I imagine there are quite a number of folks who subscribe to the Mantra-Of-The-Day club.

We are at war. Your "president" is okay with handing control of our ports to an Arab country. Biggest deficit spender in American history BY FAR. No Social Security reform like we were promised. Republican-controlled Congress. Oil prices spiking again. Oil companies setting new records for corporate profits. Our international reputation in the toilet. Iran developing nuclear weapons in the political vacuum created by your "president."

And you want to talk about Chappaquidick all day, every day. I suppose I would too, if I were you.

Supe, Mul argues EVERY position the left takes, his interjection of Chappaquidik is usually done to highlight the hypocracy of the Bush hater's constant attacks on Bush's (and Cheney's) EVERY move (the Cheney hunting accident is a prime example currently). Whether you agree with Mul's politics or not, you have to admit that he does a pretty good job of responding to the left's jabs.:)

No, Mul-berry is doing a lousy job of carrying water for the Bush'ists. The reason that's true is that he has no demonstrable facts with which to argue his points, so in lieu of that, argues Kennedy's 35 year old negligent homicide as some kind of proof that Bush is good, not knowing, it appears, that one man's crime will not lessen the guiit of another man one iota.

I "honor" you because you are so far out dude, as I say, I know funny

not Monty Python funny, but I could not get the flying saucer one from 914club to work

Pastfat is the embodiment of why one should carefully ascertain where they are going before starting a climb...worse yet, once he is thoroughly lost he stubbornly won't admit he took a wrong move and dogmatically refuses to seek direction.
