Book: Carter, Democrats Asked Soviets to Stop Reagan, Sway U.S. Elections

Remember the old conservative charge that many of the Democrats here in America were playing footsie with the Soviets? Some Republicans even said the Russians viewed the Democrats as their favorite party.

Now bombshell revelations prove these accusations beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Peter Schweizer, a Hoover Institution research fellow, has just written a new book, "Reagan's War: The Epic Story of His Forty-Year Struggle and Final Triumph Over Communism."

This book may well well force historians to revise the history of the Cold War.

Schweizer, after scouring once classified KGB, East German Stasi and Soviet Communist Party files, discovered incontrovertible evidence that the Soviets not only played footsie with the high-ranking Democrats, they also worked behind the scenes to influence American elections.

In "Reagan's War," Schweizer shows how the Democrats worked with Moscow to try to undermine Reagan before and after he became president.

Jimmy Carter's Dirty Tricks

Soviet diplomatic accounts and material from the archives shows that in January 1984 former President Jimmy Carter dropped by Soviet Ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin's residence for a private meeting.

Carter expressed his concern about and opposition to Reagan's defense buildup. He boldly told Dobrynin that Moscow would be better off with someone else in the White House. If Reagan won, he warned, "There would not be a single agreement on arms control, especially on nuclear arms, as long as Reagan remained in power."

Using the Russians to influence the presidential election was nothing new for Carter.

Schweizer reveals Russian documents that show that in the waning days of the 1980 campaign, the Carter White House dispatched businessman Armand Hammer to the Soviet embassy.

Hammer was a longtime Soviet-phile, and he explained to the Soviet ambassador that Carter was "clearly alarmed" at the prospect of losing to Reagan.

Hammer pleaded with the Russians for help. He asked if the Kremlin could expand Jewish emigration to bolster Carter's standing in the polls.

'Carter Won't Forget That Service'

"Carter won't forget that service if he is elected," Hammer told Dobrynin.

Carter was not the only Democrat to make clear to the Russians where their loyalty lay. As the election neared in 1984, Dobrynin recalls meetings with Speaker of the House Thomas P. "Tip" O'Neill.

O'Neill told Dobrynin that no effort should be spared to prevent "that demagogue Reagan" from being re-elected.

Soviet documents report that O'Neill told Dobrynin: "If that happens, Reagan will give vent to his primitive instincts and give us a lot of trouble, probably, put us on the verge of a major armed conflict. He is a dangerous man."

Peace prize? CFR? Welfare...?

[Blood of Tyrants]

No wonder the Rats hate Reagan so much.

[SamAdams76]

Just goes to show that the Nobel Peace prize is a total joke and an embarrassment to win.

[David]

If this proves to be true, on what theory do we not charge Carter with Treason--and attempt to convict him?

[pseudogratix]

Let's face it. The Nobel peace prize goes to those willing to make compromises to "get along" with evil. There is no real peace in getting along with evil, and Reagan knew that. Reagan was a true peace maker.

[Wild Irish Rogue]

And McDermott and Bonier continue the Democrat Party tradition of consorting with evil dictators,hoping to make a deal, which will throw the election.

[RedBloodedAmerican]

Carter didn't want Reagan to topple the Democrats' alma mater.

[Chad Fairbanks]

Here Here! String him up by the peanuts!

[SevenofNine]

[Cicero]

I'm not sure who's publishing this book. Is it NewsMax? I had a look at the link but it doesn't really seem to say.

[Paul Atreides]

But, Jimmah builds houses for the poor and cares so much! Barf.

[ThePythonicCow]

And McDermott and Bonier continue the Democrat Party tradition of consorting with evil dictators,hoping to make a deal, which will throw the election.

Far more than just those two. They were just stupid enough to be too blatant about it in public. Actually, my hat's off to them. It's not easy to be "too blatant" about ones leftist leanings.

[ThePythonicCow]

Reagan is looking more and more impressive.

[cinFLA]

No wonder the Rats hate Reagan so much.

After his military service, Reagen returned to Hollywood and was agast at the communist presence. From those early days he was a big fighter against the communists in America. That is why he was hated so by the democrats.

[Guillermo]

This isn't new news.

Also, Carter, before the Gulf War, tried to undermine Bush I by "secretly" meeting with the Arab states trying to convince them to abandon the alliance.

[gusopol3]

isn't Hoover Institution high quality enough for you?

[tomahawk]

Confirms what many of us have known all along, that DemonCraps are traitors, not all of them, but many of them.

[Guillermo]

Carter= scum.

I wish the conservatives who say "well, Carter is a decent fellow" would WAKE UP.

[Malesherbes]

Armand Hammer was also the source of the Gore family's wealth. He bought and paid for both father and son when they served in the Senate.

[DWSUWF]

"...If this proves to be true, on what theory do we not charge Carter with Treason--and attempt to convict him?..."

Only this...

Why would we single Carter out for punishment when he is but one of a filthy NEST of traitors?

The democrat party, at it's top, is shot through with abject treason. At it's bottom, raw perversion and criminality.

It's probably too late for courts...
