The Kennedy KGB letter
HotAir ^ | 10/20/06

So you want answers, eh? Not satisfied with the CNS report?

I’ve got answers.

There’s a new book on Ronald Reagan making the rounds, The Crusader: Ronald Reagan and the Fall of Communism. Its author, Paul Kengor, unearthed a sensational document from the Soviet archives. That document is a memo regarding an offer made by Sen. Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts via former Senator John Tunney, both Democrats, to the General Secretary of the Communist Party, USSR, Yuri Andropov, in 1983. The offer was to help the Soviet leadership, military and civilian, conduct a PR campaign in the United States as President Ronald Reagan sought re-election. The goal of the PR campaign would be to cast President Reagan as a warmonger, the Soviets as willing to peacefully co-exist, and thereby turn the electorate away from Reagan. It was a plan to enlist Soviet help, and use the American press, in unseating an American president.

Think about that.

I received a review copy of The Crusader on Wednesday. The book first references the Kennedy plan on page 206, and includes the complete Soviet memo, dated May 14, 1983, in the Appendix. It’s an eye opener.

If the proposal is recognized as worthy, then Kennedy and his friends will bring about suitable steps to have representatives of the largest television companies in the USA contact Y. V. Andropov for an invitation to Moscow for the interview. Specifically, the board of directors of ABC, Elton Raul and the television columnists Walter Cronkite or Barbara Walters could visit Moscow. The senator underlined the importance that this initiative should be seen as coming from the American side.

Just, not the senator himself. Because collaborating with the leadership of a foreign state to unseat an American president, by whatever means, could be seen by Americans as treasonous. No fingerprints, that’s the rule. Who knew Reagan would win and then defeat the USSR, so this document could see the light of day? The Kennedy KGB memo runs about four pages. If there’s an honest liberal left in the country, it would be nice to have their take on this revelation.

Now I understand why they're so worried about us wiretapping our enemy's phones.

Joseph Kennedy supported the Nazis in the 1930s.

Thanks.

So, it was ABC -- Peter Jennings. Figures.

The logical part of me can't believe that Kennedy was trying aid the Soviets. The logical part of me says that this was an early form of "Republican Derangement Syndrome," today called "Bush Derangement Syndrome."

I have to believe that Kennedy was focused on undermining Reagan and Republicans so Democrats could regain the White House. Either way, the end result is the same -- collaboration with the enemy.

But to Democrats, the ends justifies the means, and we're not supposed to question their patriotism when dissent drives them to collaborate with the enemy.

Democrat Trivia...

Who is the only Senator, serving today, that has killed a woman? (Hint, he's a fat drunken slob from Massachusets)

Who is the only senator, serving today, that has been a leader in the KKK? (Hint, he is the dean of the senate, and a retired Gran Dragon)

Who is the only senator, serving today, that collected a purple heart for putting shrapnel in his own ass? (Hint, he ran for president, for the war before he was against the war)

It will never be on the news.

Liberals will lick Ted Kennedys boots just to tell their friends they suckd on a Kennedy.

Sure it can be on the news LIVE! When a republican comes on TV to speak about Foley he can use the time to also call for Kennedy's resignation for the KGB letters.

I think this could happen sometime this weekend or in the middle if the day on monday. Maybe Frist will come out and demand an explaination from Kennedy

Is that a sex toy on the left of the Common Good banner, or just a cigar (or BOTH)?

Just... wow. This should be all over the news. The Foley stuff is absolutely nothing compared to this sort of thing.
