Paul Kengor, political science prof and author of the book “The Crusader: Ronald Reagan and the Fall of Communism”, compares the distrust Democrats had for President Reagan during the cold war with present day conditions:

“We see some of the same sentiments today, in that some Democrats see the Republican president as being a threat and the true obstacle to peace, instead of seeing our enemies as the true danger,”

Skewed, scary thinking, eh? Oh, there’s more. Evidently some Democrats felt that Reagan was such a hindrance to the peace process that they took steps to… collude with the enemy…

In his book, which came out this week, Kengor focuses on a KGB letter written at the height of the Cold War that shows that Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) offered to assist Soviet leaders in formulating a public relations strategy to counter President Reagan’s foreign policy and to complicate his re-election efforts.

The letter, dated May 14, 1983, was sent from the head of the KGB to Yuri Andropov, who was then General Secretary of the Soviet Union’s Communist Party.

In his letter, KGB head Viktor Chebrikov offered Andropov his interpretation of Kennedy’s offer. Former U.S. Sen. John Tunney (D-Calif.) had traveled to Moscow on behalf of Kennedy to seek out a partnership with Andropov and other Soviet officials, Kengor claims in his book.

At one point after President Reagan left office, Tunney acknowledged that he had played the role of intermediary, not only for Kennedy but for other U.S. senators, Kengor said. Moreover, Tunney told the London Times that he had made 15 separate trips to Moscow.

I always suspected that ted kennedy was a despicable worm, but attempting to plot against the President of the United States with her enemy?

I’m betting nothing will happen in the wake of this revelation; this story will be buried. The media will see to that. And there are plenty of liberals who will applaud this story and call ted a true hero.

He and those like him are scum.
