Ted Kennedy Secretly Asked The Soviets To Intervene In The 1984 Elections

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 Obama’s 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.

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. That’s no exaggeration.

Somebody should ask the Rats about their real traitor Ted Kennedy...

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

I’m so glad that waste of skin is finally gone.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Reagan won that by such an astronomical landslide, it’s unclear to me what the Soviets could have done.

Other than a second assassination attempt.

This is the reason Ted Kennedy was nearly charged under the Foreign Agent Registration Act. I know. I was there.

Its hard to think of a single person who did as much as Fat Uncle Teddy to destroy this country. May he enjoy his reward.

[Future Snake Eater]

What wasn’t he charged?

I remember Teddy's run against Jimmah Cahtah in ‘79. He was in Iowa, at a meeting with farmers south of Des Moines, when he asked, “How's the service out here on the Wabash ?”
No one knew what the heck he was talking about since it had been more than 100 years since the Wabash Railroad had served Iowa...

Shouldn’t have been “nearly”. 18 USC 2381 should have applied and been prosecuted.

[Towed_Jumper]

Ted Kennedy...and to know this swine is buried in Arlington National Cemetery makes me sick.

[Rapscallion]

Shouldn’t have been “nearly”. 18 USC 2381 should have applied and been prosecuted.

It was brought up and discussed among the staffers on the Judiciary Committee.

[hal ogen]

Ted “the Traitor” kennedy...what a waste of life.

[MeshugeMikey]

Wasnt Ted a citizen of Camelot??

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

For this stunt alone he should be dug up and tossed out of Arlington.

[Vaduz]

And the reds are still united see progressive and liberals.

[PGalt]

Picking his way through the Soviet archives that Boris Yeltsin had just thrown open, in 1991 Tim Sebastian, a reporter for the London Times, came across an arresting memorandum. Composed in 1983 by Victor Chebrikov, the top man at the KGB, the memorandum was addressed to Yuri Andropov, the top man in the entire USSR. The subject: Sen. Edward Kennedy.

HOORAY Tim Sebastian. Thanks for the reminder, Sean Davis. Thanks for posting, Timber Rattler.

I’ll bet even Brezhnev thought Ted was a deranged Communist nut.

Somebody should ask the Rats about their real traitor Ted Kennedy...(D-HELL)
