They say you can judge a person by the company he or she keeps. I submit that for politicians, at least, you can also judge them by the enemies they make. By that measure, Ted Kennedy was one of the greats:
For decades after his brothers John and Robert were assassinated, Sen. Edward Kennedy received many threats that he would meet the same fate, according to FBI documents released Monday.
More than 2,000 pages of partially redacted documents from 1961 to 1985 show that Kennedy, the veteran Massachusetts Democrat who died from brain cancer last year, received death threats from individuals and organizations including the Ku Klux Klan, the National Socialist White People’s Party and “Minutemen” groups.
It would certainly be an honor to be despised by those groups.
