Can you please provide detail on what you're referring to above?

You've never heard of Iran Contra? Really?

Your post specifically referred to 1979 and the 1980 campaign:

Those assholes have been out to revenge Nixon since '79 when St. Ronnie the Snitch played footsie with the Iranian mullahs that kidnapped our people in Tehran. All to beat Carter, fecking traitors.

Iran Contra followed the 1980 campaign by years. Still looking for clarification on your remarks.
