Kennedy has been a fighter. Hillary is also a fighter, and a better one. Best wishes to Kennedy, and best of best to Hillary!
Keep on the good fight!

I am very sorry to read the news. My thoughts and prayers go out for an effectve treatment as well.

lol what

hillary will lose... if she somehow wins in some crazy backroom deal... she will lose the GE because the democrats would disown her, and that 90% of the black vote would say.... sorry lady you lost im writing in obamas name

LOL idiot

ps i love you kennedy i hope we get ot keep you around for awhile

Amy...the only thing HRC knows is ego, selfish thoughts and getting her own way. I have NEVER seen the Kennedys act that way. They have always worked for the downtrodden. Don't even try to compare the two...

In the name of human decency can we please make this about the welfare of a great public servant and his family.

a prayer for you Ted

Senator Kennedy is the best we have. I hope he fully recovers. It would be impossible to fill his shoes. We need more like him.

Best wishes to you Ted.

Now maybe you will retire and we can get some fresh, less left-wing blood in the senate.

if these fat-cats spent more time legislating for investment in medical research, and treatment, we could improve quality of life and life expectancy. instead we are comparable to cuba in terms of life expectancy and infant mortality rates, what a shame. i thought the very same thing when reagan passed away from what could be treatable diseases.
hillary's focus has always been healthcare-but this has become a shameful election that is more about egos, sexism, and old vendettas. so expect more of the same.

cindyct,

You mean how you Obama supporters are constantly judging the Clintons and McCain??????

I am a cancer survivor too of three cancers and it saddens me that Senator Kennedy has this cancer. My mother and mother-in-law passed away from malignant brain cancers. I do trust the he will know we are all concerned for him.

geevil...I don't judge Hillary...I Have said many times I will vote for the nominee..whether OB or HRC..it doesn't matter. Unlike Hillary supporters who would rather have 4 more years of Bush...out of a stupid vendetta.

Sometime or another we will all need some compassion. Pay it forward. My prayers are with the Kennedy family.

Maryb...my sediments exactly!! thanks for stating them so eliquently.

It saddens me to read most of these posts. What a bunch.

Racism doesn't exist.

You can cry on tv about racism and blame all your failures and setbacks on racism, but it doesn't exist and America is sick of hearing about racism.

Words cannot express my deep sorrow after reading the diagnosis. A wonderful, compassionate man. His brother Jack was the first president I ever voted for in my first presidential election.

Us regular folk?
Fighting for the regular guy?
Jeez. Not a chance. Power is what it's about. Liberal rich guy who wanted to be king.

I don't wish illness on anyone, even a liberal.

Ben- That's still between him and God. Nobody else has the right to play God. Judge not, lest ye be judged- ya know? Many people here have decided that he's going to hell or that his tumor is righteous retribution. Did God confide these details to those people? Like I said: give compassion- you just might need it yourself someday.We all live in glass houses.

No one is honest enough too like neither of the candidates for the presidence of our country. Along they are path on this earth we all make mistakes to critizes any good efforts to support anyone all the way. Our economy is going straight to the toilet; Neither the stronger politician will save us to be another country in Latin America.
Finally Hugo Chavez will have his way with us, too bad he will not get in touch with the rich politicians of this country. Lets find a replacement for Oil at any cost other than that American will be flying to other countries where there money be worth more than what it is in here. By the way forget about Europe your dollars are worth .....

To the Kennedy family, we are very sad about Sentor Ted Kennedy, our prayers are with you, and all my family remember their tragedies and we hope that rather that he will no longer be with us, that a miricle will happen, and that he will recover and get well. God bless you Ted. From Gloria and family.

While I wish ill will on no one and pray he does recover, it does seem people are way over the top in their praise of this man whose merits are far outweighed by his bad acts.

May God have mercy on his soul.

geevill,

That's because Charleton Heston had the nerve to be pro-second amendment and the liberals can't stand that. The liberal media never had a good thing to say about him that they didn't qualify with their anti-second amendment rants.

I am astounded by the ignorance of people. Oh wait, no I'm not.
There is a HUGE difference between having no compassion for an unrepentant, shameless, gutless drunk, who was the FREDO of his family, who lived the lavish life of a U.S. Senator (sitting on ethics commitees, no less) and someone who handled an accident badly and retreated out of public life in shame.
You wouldn't wish ill on the latter. You wouldn't necessarily wish it on the former. But when tragedy befalls the former, only a lockstep sycophant would chastize anyone who doesn't want to participate in the praying for a soul which was sold to the devil 40 years ago.

Above all we are all human beings, whatever our opinion is of Kennedy, as humans we should show sympathy and compassion for someone who is someones father,husband, grandather who is suffering from a deadly disease. Before you cast your stones look at your glass houses. This is why I stay away from politics, which is above all things for some of you. My Prayers are with Kennedy and his family.

Sean

MaryB - I am not judging whether he is headed upstairs or downstairs. I am merely saying that there should be some standard of whether you can become a senator or not. If I am responsible for someones death as Ted is, I hope that people will not give me the time of day when it comes to being elected to represent them. The manner in which this woman died and Ted's behavior at the time were just wrong. These details have been published, and you can go fish for them if you would like. He was a victim of circumstances of his making, and no one can dispute that. The fact that he was elected speaks to the cess that our society has become.

NO-BAMA

OK, genius. Who the hell said anything about racism? YOU"RE the one that's all hopped up and defensive. I don't need to defend Barack because he is WINNING..NOT LOSING, like HRC.

A CHEATER and BALD-FACED LIAR (i. e. Hilliary) has no place in the White House.

None too soon for this murdering individual. The only Kennedy to survive old age...and what a cruel joke of life.
cccross

Someone...somewhere is restoring a 1967 Oldsmobile Delmont 88 4-door. Let no other Oldsmobile ever get submerged in water. If only Ted Kennedy drove a Volkswagen...would he be President today!!
R.I.P Mary Jo...too bad your life was sacrificed in Ted Kennedy's hands.

The man showed no compassion just a disregard for the life of a woman in order to save his career. He defended his rapist nephew. So whatever.

No, Ben, I disagree. I think the hateful, vitriolic comments posted speak most eloquently to the cesspool too much of our society has become. You may or may not be assessing his final destination, but many others are. We are what we think. Leave Ted to God. Seek grace and compassion and forgiveness.

MaryB - For once I agree. I am not making mean spirited comments or passing judgment. I just don't understand how this guy got elected. I expect more integrity from my leaders. Probably why I am a Ron Paul supporter. Here are two requirements that would be nice. You can't be responsible for another's death through immoral means, and you can't be bought by special interests. Wouldn't that just be wonderful.

Yes, Ben, it would be wonderful. But I'm afraid that eliminates just about everybody. And my point was, and is, this wasn't supposed to be a political posting. Just a place to express sympathy for the Kennedy family. Imagine if these posters were hospital visitors?? Why in the world would they be visiting someone they detest? Just don't go...

That's what happens when you cross the Clintons. He isn't dead yet, so he can still switch back and save himself!

I ran into Senator Kennedy on a D.C. street back in the early 90's. Even though he didn't need to, he responded to my greeting and shook my hand. I don't always agree with his politics, but I believe he is a gracious and hororable man.

Senator Kennedy has always been a friend to those less fortunate. He is a great Senator, but more important, a great humanitarian. To those who want to dwell on his weakensses, I echo Crist: He who has not made a mistake, let him cast the first stone.

Teddy, may God Bless you and your family.

Thanks for all the inspiraiton......

Compassion,... hmmm,... let's look at that a minute. My compassion is saved for the innocent, the downtrodden and the underdogs,... ya know, the people who actually deserve it. Ted Kennedy has not been a "great political leader",... he's been a constant monolith on the political scene of rich, elitist politicos living above the laws they themselves vote into place,... he's been a constant eye sore and a constant reminder of the low morals of our government officials and the low intellect of the voters who keep putting him in office. Here's a prediciton,... in the typical fashion of the moronic voting public,... Ted Kennedy will be re-elected even after he's dead.

I remember right wingers saying they were shocked at how "hate-filled" and "mean spirited" libs were when libs made very mild negative comments about Bush. But these pious religious conservatives love gloating about someone else's malignant brain tumor.

Kennedy has saved many thousands if not millions of lives through his lifetime of humanitarian work, health care reform and support for the poor and disabled. Bush has been responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of innocent people, for money. Weigh THAT in the balance, you MORONS!!

When I first heard that Ted had a seizure, the first thought that came to mind was his " Check Alcohol" light popped on.

Have some respect for kennedy name atleast. Do not discuss BO or HRC here. This is a personal issue. Its not the time to express your political views.

I thought I would find decency in these comments. Perhaps there is an abbreviated Readers Digest version of the Fall of Rome that might cause a few to ponder. The greatest military Empire collapsed in great part from within because it had become rotten to the core. But, it seems that the hard working Americans, white of course per Hillary, are out in force spewing their hate. The Christians above do not sound too much better than some of those Muslim Imans who feel they have a God-given right to be the ultimate Judge. My thoughts are with the Kennedy family as they work through this one.

I hope all goes well for him. He and his family are in our prayers.

Our nation is ina terrible state when one of our long serving public servants has taken ill from a very grave disease and rather than our prayers he gets spit upon. He is without sin cast the first stone! I can not believe there are that many sinless people living here. My prayers are certainly with the Kennedy family during this trying time and may God look upon as all with compassion even in the midst of our wickedness.

You All ,please remember that God is a forgiving God. Let us pray that the long serving Senator recovers to continue to ask God's favours.

All I can say is that it must have been tough to grow old without his brothers' company for the last 40 years. I'd hate for that to have happened to my two brothers.

I can't say I'm a fan of Ted Kennedy, but I'm sorry that his happened to him. It seems like the family really is cursed sometimes. My heart goes out to him and his family.

It's wonderful to see that everything has to somehow be spun to be political. (wipes the dripping sarcasm off her keyboard) Anyway, my best wishes for recovery go out to the senator and his family. Cancer is a tough road to travel. My grandmother passed on due to it. I would never wish ill on any human being, much less make light of a person's suffering and situation. Save the politics for another time and focus on sending hope to this family.

I'm so very sorry and devastated to learn of Sen. Kennedy's illness. We are a better country for having the left and the right balance each other, and without Kennedy, we will lose some of what makes us great. We just hope and pray that this tireless advocate of the people is able to beat this. Amen.

Sen. Kennedy may be an imperfect man, but how can anyone not have some human kindness and compassion at a time like this? I'm as conservative as they come, but I do respect Kennedy's contribution to our country, as well as the way he shouldered so much heartache and tragedy for his family. I believe Sen. Kennedy has spent his life learning from his mistakes and trying to do some good. If we can't come together and wish the man well at a time like this, what kind of people are we? Godspeed, Ted.

I wish nothing but a speedy recovery to Senator Kennedy. My Faith and Hope is that God can Change the course of his cancer. God controls The Planet, The People and everything in our Universe. Everyone please take a minute, say a short prayer for Teddy. I'm a very Conservative person. Please Lord heal this Man. Amen.

Wait... so now I'm a Liberal because I DON'T wish brain cancer on anyone...?

I don't know who Mary Jo is or it is before my time. However, I do know that this senator and his family has done a lot fo this counntry. Also all we can do is ask that God have mercy on him that he shows to us each day. He has lost all 3 of this brothers (2 to assinations), countless nephews to tragidies (plane crashes, skiing accident), and he didnt' suffer or is. I pray that he has the strength to help him through.

My prayers go out to a true American legend, Senator Ted Kennedy. May you get well soon!

Best wishes to senator kennedy from a UK citizen, and I extend my sympathies to every warm-hearted american who's touched by his illness. Those of you who denigrate mr Kennedy should chill out and remember that your beloved Bush also enjoyed a few beverages behind the wheel.
Some of the comments on this website would be hilarious if they weren't so disturbing. The only tragedy is that there isn't a hell for those people to burn in.
America must be the only country in the world in which 'Liberal' is a dirty word. That said, the vast majority of americans are kind and generous, and i hope that the decent among you are not too saddened by the thick, vitriol of your contempories. You have a fantastic country, take it back from the lunatics. And if you don't want obama to be president, bring him over here please

Bear, London

Liberalizism is finally taking its toal. Now, only if.....

I am kind, and very generous. I just don't like government telling me I must in taxes. Let me decide.

Dear Ted and family,
I was watching the national news and got news that Ted has a brain tumor. I myself and my family wanted to say that you are in our prayers. My son had the same thing and he lived 11 years after being diagnosed with it. I wish Ted the best of luck. Don't give up Ted there is hope. God is in control of this situation. My son beat the odds of what the doctors had said and Ted you can too. God Bless

He's done a lot of harm to this country, but I wish him a speedy and full recovery.

The last Lion in the Senate and the last of the Kennedy brothers. They have inspired me. My heart goes out to Senator Kennedy. I grieve for the great days of hope and grace, when our public institutions, imperfect as they were, put compassion first. TK comes at the end of a great line of true leadership. God bless him.

Dear Bear, London...Thank you for the great post/thoughts and for seeing past some of the trash posted on this website. I join you in sending best wishes to the Kennedy family. - U.S. Citizen

I do not feel a bit sorry for this left-wing radical. he blindly fought for any liberal cause...without thinking of ramifications. he has done so much damage to this county that i am beyond feeling pity for him now. - a massachusetts resident

As a former Mass resident I find your comment to be hypocritical at best.

He did a lot for the state. He really does not need your pity.

May God bless this man who fought so tirelessly all his life for the poor, downtrodden and helpless. He is a giant of a man, whose constant efforts on behalf of the helpless, downtrodden and poor have transformed this nation and made a difference for so many. May God bless him and keep him.

Maybe we're missing the bigger picture here. Not only does Ted Kennedy and his family need our prayers, so do all the people here with so much hate and vengeance in their hearts and minds. You are what you think. May your hearts and minds be turned to love and compassion. May you be treated better than you deserve.

Go here and read about your LION!

If this was a movie and the character did the things Teddy did the only way libtards would accept the character as credible is if he was portrayed as an evil right-winger.
A human can not be more loathsome or despicable.

Nice to read some sane comments about this fat, alcoholic, elitist pig (sorry to offend pigs everywhere)... the only pity I feel is for the glioma ... image the horror of having to devour that wretched brain ... good luck glioma ... eat heartily and quickly!!!

I am really getting fed up with ABC's CENSORSHIP.
I have not used profanity and have expressed my lack of sympathy for Ted Kennedy and the reasons why.
There are many people who find this endless chorus of sycophants lionizing this man of little character to be very offensive.
Try removing some of those comments.
