Did Ted Kennedy work with the Soviets to take down Ronald Reagan?
BY GREGOR

Prepare for this shocker!

Political science professor Paul Kengor says he has obtained a copy of a KGB letter written at the height of the Cold War which shows that Senator Ted Kennedy and Senator John Tunney (both Democrats) actually conspired with the Soviet Union to take down then sitting President Ronald Reagan.

If this turns out to be true -- this will be the biggest story since 9/11. Not that it would actually be shocking that Ted Kennedy would do such a thing -- we all know it's exactly the type of thing the far left is doing right now -- but with mid-terms just weeks away this could seal the deal.

CNS News is reporting:

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.

And how exactly did they plan to accomplish this? Easy! With the help of the American hating mainstream media of course! Bryan at HotAir is blogging this and has apparently got his hands on an advanced copy of the book. He relates this:

If the proposal is recognized as worthy, then Kennedy and his friends will bring about suitable steps to have representatives of the largest television companies in the USA contact Y. V. Andropov for an invitation to Moscow for the interview. Specifically, the board of directors of ABC, Elton Raul and the television columnists Walter Cronkite or Barbara Walters could visit Moscow. The senator underlined the importance that this initiative should be seen as coming from the American side.

What else is new? I wonder if anyone's been wiretapping Kennedy's phone calls recently.

Stay tuned for more on this. I have a feeling this is will be the topic of "outrage" for the next few days.

Or not.

I keep forgetting about the liberal free pass card.
