Not any surprise, just confirmation.

Would love the see the listing of favs by the chi-coms and the ruskies today!

They hate America. It’s always been clear. They need a cell at Leavenworth.

Not any surprise, just confirmation.

Indeed. Ted went so far as to attempt to solicit Soviet assistance to politically defeat Reagan.

Sen. Edward Brooke, the first black man elected to the US Senate by popular vote, was a guest of honor at Hillary’s graduation. In her speech as valedictorian she attacked him (for not being far enough to the left).

Now, the next step in the process is to check the KGB archives that were declassified after the Cold War...see how many of these pols were actually Russian agents. Might also be interesting to see if any of them were recorded during the Verona intercepts.

Have we found their CPUSA membership cards yet? Remember too that these were the leading voices of opposition to the Vietnam War. Ba$tards.

Not much of a surprise, but it could point the way to additional investigations into areas of coordination if not collusion.

For instance Mondale was pulling all sorts of crap to shut down the Moon program in the wake of the Apollo 1 fire.

And, as an aside, Fulbright was Bill Clinton’s political mentor, wasn’t he?

That's a misleading headline. The linked report gives an overall number of contacts between the Soviets and Senators, Representatives, and staff. The report then lists the congresscritters with the MOST meetings. This does not make them the Russians' "favorites." There are many reasons the Russians might strike up a continuing relationship with a Senator, for example; the simplest is that the Senator might have held a position of influence on some issue of interest, and be willing to engage somewhat sympathetically. That doesn't make the Senator a tool; it makes him a soft touch, or a useful idiot.

To cut to the chase, while there is an obvious left tilt to the list, I can think of any number of Senators and Representatives during that period who were further left than most of those listed. Bella Abzug, Alan Cranston, and Ron Dellums come to mind, and I am sure others will access old (mental) files and add to that list. For the really suspect cases, the Russians might well have minimized contact, or gone to extreme lengths to deal indirectly, in order to avoid additional scrutiny to some folks who may well have been very conscious collaborators.

There sure are a lot of presidential and vice-presidential candidates on that list.

One of them was, a vice president.

Regarding the Pig Kennedy, Hero of Chappaquiddick, the foreman said the (grand) jury was manipulated and blocked from doing its job.

I've got about another month to go on my local grand jury. My gosh, how I wish I was on the K Pig's MA grand jury!

Liberal/socialist/communist/progressive. They are all the same thing; enemies of the US.

... "Minnesota Rat/commie Senator Eugene McCarthy" ...

... not to be confused with Joseph Raymond "Joe" McCarthy, renown commie hunter Republican U.S. Senator from the state of Wisconsin whose reputation is irreparably maligned in history by the commies who write American history books.

[Uncle Miltie]

Most were Democrat / communist Presidential Candidates.

[ChicagahAl]

...when the Communist nation was our worst enemy...

WAS?

OK, OK... So it might appear that Islam and China have moved ahead of Soviet Russia as our "worst" enemy; but Russia is happy to facilitate any attacks on the US by the other two.

Russia hasn't changed. They have simply re-branded, re-grouped and re-attacked from different positions.

And Democrats are still their beyotches.

[Red Steel]

Joseph McCarthy was absolutely correct.

Besides being tight with Communists, Kennedy was also famous for driving his car into a pond in Chappaquiddick, east of Martha’s Vineyard after a night of partying. The senator escaped the accident unscathed while his mistress, 28-year-old Democratic campaign worker Mary Jo Kopechne, drowned in the car. Kennedy had an expired license and had been drinking at the party yet he only got a slap on the hand, a two-month suspended jail sentence.

Did commies in our government and MSM help Kennedy duck this murder? Anyone know who orchestrated the cover-up?
