Carter's October Surprise
Remember when the MSM went absolutely crazy whipping up outrage against George Bush (the father) for supposedly arranging a secret deal with Iran in October 1980 to hold on to the American hostages until after the November election? There has never been any evidence to support the allegation, but that didn't keep the press from running with the story during one of Bush's own presidential campaigns an effort to cause Bush's defeat.
From the guys at Power Line comes a post, "Jimmy Carter Revisited" (last post of Feb.16) where we learn that there really was an effort to manipulate the 1980 election with an "October Surprise." But the effort came from the Democrats. Soviet archives show that Carter made a treasonous offer to give the USSR concessions, if they would help him defeat Reagan.
(Sorry -- tried to link, but this computer in the library won't let me do it the way I have before.)
Go read the whole thing.
Anyone expect the MSM to carry the story?
