Earlier this week, 47 Republican senators published an open letter informing the leaders of Iran that any nuclear deal with the United States that failed to be approved by the Senate would likely expire in 2017, once President Barack Obamas term ended. You can read the full letter here.
The letter enraged progressives, who immediately began accusing the senators of treason for having the audacity to publish basic constitutional facts about how treaties work. Here is but a small sampling of the response from the outrage brigade:
Has anyone ever seen anything like that letter from Senate Repubs to Iran? How is that not treason? I'm really asking. Adam McKay (@GhostPanther) March 10, 2015
Did 47 Republican Senators just commit treason with Iran letter? (by @writerknowles) http://t.co/sBj397WWk3 Bloomberg Politics (@bpolitics) March 9, 2015
To Cotton-sticking Senate GOP: If Ds had done under a Republican POTUS what you did today, you would have been the first to cry "treason!" David Axelrod (@davidaxelrod) March 9, 2015
For many liberals this morning, the word treason is defined as not giving Obama his way John Podhoretz (@jpodhoretz) March 10, 2015
If these progressives want to know what actual treason looks like, they should consult liberal lion Ted Kennedy, who not only allegedly sent secret messages to the Soviets in the midst of the cold war, he also begged them to intervene in a U.S. presidential election in order to unseat President Ronald Reagan. Thats no exaggeration.
According to Soviet documents unearthed in the early 1990s, Kennedy literally asked the Soviets, avowed enemies of the U.S., to intervene on behalf of the Democratic party in the 1984 elections. Kennedys communist communique was so secret that it was not discovered until 1991, eight years after Kennedy had initiated his Soviet gambit:

Democrats are so full of lies.
So, NOW they care about treason? Let’s start with Hillary’s emails.
So since we can agree that Ted Kennedy was a treasonous POS can we repeal the immigration law he sponsored that’s been nothing less than an assault on our country for more than fifty years?
And jimmy “the peanut farmer” carter did the same thing in the 1980 election against Reagan’s first run as well.
And as James Carville recently pointed out 80% of American voters are politically clueless...
Heh, I guess Ted Kennedy didn’t have a “Reset Button”....

Why Ted wasn’t immediately removed from office right then and there and placed on trial for Treason against the state and then shot in front of a firing squad if found guilty is prima-faca evidence that the Republic is so far gone that it is NOT salvageable.
Too bad SEVERAL Federalist.com writers have worked so feverishly as big government open borders #NeverTrumpers, aye! How, exactly, does that happen with anyone “claiming” some relationship to federalism in the U.S?
This is not news. It was disclosed several years ago.
Yes, it was disclosed years ago but we need to remember it. Always. Whenever the American democrat/communist party starts to talk about “treason” Ted Kennedy’s actual treason needs to be brought up.
Never forget. Never forgive.
It is news now when the Dems are complaining that the Russians have dared to interfere in a US election. Now one of the founding hypocritical liberals of the 20th century had been inviting them in. Let them deny it, or let them admit it.
If Trump is smart, he will not permit himself to be associated with Russian interests.
Surprise, surprise..
So, Ted asked in 1984, on behalf of the Democrats, and the Soviets finally got around to acting on it. Now the Dems complain? There’s no pleasing them!
/S
For that alone, I would exhmumed his body from Arlington and sent it packing to Brookline,MA.
This is the reason that, when Kennedy died, I celebrated his death, hoped it was painful, and called him every name in the book.
He burns in Hell as we speak.
Nobody was going to touch a Kennedy even if he raped Mother Theresa in the Vatican.
More importantly, Ted Kennedy used the stupid Sen. John Tunney (D-CA) as his courier because he knew the guy was too stupid to understand the fuller meaning of what Kennedy was doing.
There have been several Congressmen/women and Senators who were members of the Communist Party USA or hardcore, well-documented supporters of it, esp. from the 1930’s-late 40’s.

Many, many more not listed.
More people need to know this. Many voters weren’t even alive when it was revealed.
Perfect timing on that, thanks.
Very good point. I apologize for being critical. Excellent post.
