Did Ike ever get accused of being a Nazi? Seems his activities 1942-45
should have forever inoculated him against that particular canard.
Ditto Truman, JFK and Nixon all of whom served in combat. (Well Truman
was a WW1 artilleryman)

He could threaten violence for bad reviews of his daughter Margaret.

Republican Nixon only technically served in Combat but did

as the president which lead to Watergate and his resignation.
But for wartime

No one ever called these men NAZIs except maybe extreme pacifists.

If it is true that Bush I cut a deal with Iran to not free the
hostages until Reagan was elected, then for "chicanery" we should read
"treason".

I know there is an 'October Surprise' theory, but again,
what did Iran get out of it?
