I don't think DemGirl was saying anything about what it's like to have your father killed at a young age. She didn't say Kennedy grew up without any difficulty in his life. She was talking about the family wealth, so it's not fair to hit her with that bit about his father being killed.

She was only saying that some people don't like to hear "Do as I say, not as I do" lectures from people. I don't know much about Kennedy so can't really speak as to the kind of life he leads in terms of his wealth. But I can understand DemGirl's point about being lectured by celebrities who tell us to sacrafice and give things up while they still travel by private jet, have huge mansions that use a ton of electricity, have heated pools, limos, etc. I like people who truly walk the walk, and I don't like different standards for rich people, even if I may agree with their political views. And yes, I am one of those people who find it ironic that Gore can preach what he does, and yet still spend all that money to support his own lavish lifestyle.
