BREAKING: Witness Ben Barnes confirms Reagan campaign collusion with Tehran to delay hostage release

[Libertas Vel Mors]

Ben Barnes...the top Kerry donor and Democratic politician? Why would we believe him? His explanation for not revealing it at the time doesn't make sense either.

Mr. Barnes said he did not reveal the real story at the time to avoid blowback from his own party. “I don’t want to look like Benedict Arnold to the Democratic Party by participating in this,” he recalled explaining to a friend. The headlines at the time, he imagined, would have been scandalous. “I did not want that to be on my obituary at all.”

How would Barnes have looked like a Benedict Arnold for having revealed Connolly's treachery?

Jimmy Carter will get to not only outlive the two men who sabotaged his re-election (Ted Kennedy and Ronald Reagan), he will also get the satisfaction of being totally vindicated in the public eye before his death.

God bless you, Jimmy.

You were too good for us.

Jimmy Carter was a terrible President and a terrible man. Most Americans will never read or hear this account, and if they do they will rightly not believe it.

Genetic fallacy. Reagan and Connally were both former Dems.

The national GOP owes Carter an apology.

...what? How does Reagan and Connally being former Dems negate Barnes being a life-long Dem, or the illogicity of Barnes's explanation? And genetic fallacy is irrelevant here: it is totally fair to note that a partisan liberal might lie to smear a conservative in a way that someone not a partisan liberal wouldn't.
