Jimmy Carter had the balls to stand up to the radical right who were demanding military action against Iran. In the end, all hostages were returned safely. A military attack, even if it resulted in hostage deaths would have ensured a second term.
Derp,
The hostages were returned after Carter lost reelection and Reagan was elected.
The release was negotiated before Carter left office...the actual release was done once Reagan was elected to make Reagan look better.....I suspect you know this, but I never expected a republican to be honest about anything other than their own depravity..
Actually the release was delayed due to the Iran-Iraq war. The plane would have left the previous day but no flights were allowed at night.
Then of course that infamous "liburrul media" proceeded to juxtapose shots of the plane taking off with Reagan taking office, as if they were related, just because it made for ratings, leading to the ignorance of SMEGMAman and others too dense to notice that nobody ever actually SAID that. They just took the bait and ran with it.
Carter left the inauguration and flew out to meet them in Germany, their first stop in freedom. It speaks volumes of their dishonesty that the SMEGMAmans of the board want to ignore all that and go "b-but but Reagan".
It also speaks of their density that they can't figure out when somebody does something positive unless they crow about it going HEY LOOKA ME LOOK WHAT I DID, oblivious to the fact that there are those among us humble enough to do the right thing for its own sake and don't feel the need to go ME ME ME over it because the important thing is that the right thing got done and not ME ME ME. That people would walk around with that degree of density is incomprehensible, but the fact that that density exists, kind of explains a lot.
