It's wrong. There were dirty tricks then, too. Remember dealing with Iran to postpone the release of the hostages?

Also, Nixon and his mouthpiece Kissinger dealt with the North Vietnamese to not accept peace terms from Johnson.

So, I reckon the last time dirty tricks weren't invovled in a Republican presidential win was when Eisenhower was elected.
