Drudge has picked up the Cronkite story. To think Cronkite was once one of the most trusted men in America? Sheesh!

[InvisibleChurch]

that's right, ubl is in the wh basement and rove made him do the interview ... what a dork

[conservativebabe]

Are Kronkite and Howard Dean related?

[Mr. Wright]

Yea, Carl Rove has a direct connection via phone with bin Laden:
Here is a brief transcript:
Rove: Hey OBL (he calls him that for short) what are you up to this weekend?
OBL: Not much, just hanging out here in the cave.
Rove: Want to do a video for us before the election?
OBL: Sure, not much happening around here - I can use the work and I just got my outfit back from the cleaners - I will look great!
Rove: Great, we will send a video team right over - should be there in a few hours.
OBL: I will be looking for them - anything special you want me to say?
Rove: No, just make Bush and Republicans look good for the upcoming election.
OBL: OK - Talk you again soon!
Rove: Bye Bye
OBL: Bye Karl - take care and say hello to the wife for me!

Here is another one overdue for his dirtnap....

[ArmyBratCutie]

the crazies are EVERYWHERE....heres another one:

> 5) Actor/comedian Richard Belzer, who plays "Detective John
Munch" on NBC's Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, charged Friday
night on HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher, to loud audience
applause, that John Kerry is "running against the worst President
in the history of the United States! And that's not hyperbole."
Belzer cited "the demonization of gays, the repression of black
voters, the favoritism of Halliburton." He also dismissed the
terrorist threat: "We can't consume everybody's life with this
fear when we've been attacked twice in twenty years." To loud
applause from the audience, he denigrated Ann Coulter as "a
fascist party doll" and claimed she's "a repugnant person who says
the most vile things, she lies."

The hour-long Real Time with Bill Maher, produced at CBS
Television City in Los Angeles, is shown live at 11pm EDT on
Fridays on HBO East, and has re-runs through the following week.

Belzer appeared on the Real Time panel with retired General
Wesley Clark and actor Kevin Costner who claimed he was
"conservative" yet spent most of his time effusively praising
Ralph Nader and attacking Bush from the left.

In reaction to Costner urging those who like Nader to vote for
him and not consider the political impact of costing Kerry the
presidency, Belzer broke in to argue, referring to Kerry:
"He's running against the worst President in the history of
the United States! [audience applause] And that's not hyperbole.
That's not hyperbole. The environment, the demonization of gays,
the repression of black voters, the favoritism of Halliburton,
this unending war. Where are we going to get the troops? He said
that we're going to win the war on terror. Terrorism has been in
existence for thousands of year, there'll always be terrorists. Of
course we have to address them, but we can't consume everybody's
life with this fear [applause] when we've been attacked twice in
twenty years."

Later, by satellite, Maher interviewed conservative columnist
Ann Coulter. Just before she came on, Belzer smeared her: "She's a
fascist party doll."

Following the interview, during which Belzer took barely
audible, off-mike cheap shots at her, much of the audience booed
Coulter, prompting Maher to call for respect for differing views.
Belzer fired back: "She's a repugnant person who says the most
vile things [loud applause], she lies, she's a liar and you know
that."

# Expect another CyberAlert on Sunday.

[Dante3]

Was this supposed to be joke? Or is Cronkite senile? And Larry King must really be slow mentally to have missed it.

[Rocko]

Kook. <---- "And that's the way he is."

[Grig]

Oh, if they only knew. Rove's plots go back much further than they think...

Rove arranged for GHWB and Barbra Bush to have a romanntic weekends at just the right times to have W and Jeb come along. He set up the SCOTUS years in advance to deal with the Flori-DUH fiasco and slipped something into Gore's water that made him a fat screaming fool. Nor is W the end of his plans. In 2012 or 2016 Jeb will run for POTUS so we can invade China and steal their rice.

[fightu4it]

Hey Walter, Karl Rove hired Monica too. We came real close to pulling that one off! BWAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAH!

[PROUDAMREP]

The sad thing is the equally demented who will belive him.

[Chode]

next he'll be wearing a spittle cup and diapers i public too

[F.J. Mitchell]

This connects to that other Kerry Kamp propaganda about Bush having already captured Bin Laden and keeping him on ice for an October suprise.

So Cronkite figures that Rove forced the captured Osama to do this tape to stir everyone up, before announcing that the tape led us to Binny Laden and he has just been captured.

Rove,you are a genius!

Cronkite, you are a babbling idiot!

[Raycpa]

Why would Karl Rove produce a tape that shows we should elect kerry if we want to have less terrorists ?

[Puddleglum]

senility + hubris = formerly respected journalist (perhaps over-respected)

[wardaddy]

Who's behind Cronkite?

Uncle Joe's ghost?

Rocco Siffredi?

[ATOMIC_PUNK]

To think Cronkite was once one of the most trusted men in America?

Yea and if you look real close he was trusted by those who hate America and love communism.

My father never trusted him and he used to be a hardline Democrat !

[O.C. - Old Cracker]

When was Cronkite one of the most trusted men in America? Perhaps when he returned from South Vietnam in 1968 and said that the communists were the victors of the Tet Offensive? Even though no one in the military agreed. Bill Moyers, a former aide to LBJ, gives much of the credit to Cronkite for persuading Johnson to begin softening America's stance toward the communists in Vietnam.

Here is what Cronkite said on the CBS Evening News in late February, 1968:

To say that we are closer to victory today is to believe, in the face of the evidence, the optimists who have been wrong in the past. To suggest that we are on the edge of defeat is to yield to unreasonable pessimism. To say that we are mired in stalemate seems the only realistic, yet unsatisfactory conclusion. . . . It is increasingly clear to this reporter that the only rational way out, then, will be to negotiate, not as victors, but as honorable people who lived up to their pledge to defend democracy, and did the best they could.

At the White House, President Lyndon Johnson watched the special report with some of his staff, including News Secretary George Christian and his assistant, Bill Moyers. According to Moyers, when the program was over, "The President flipped off the set and said 'If I've lost Cronkite, I've lost Middle America.'" Five weeks later, on March 31, Johnson announced that he would not seek reelection, this in the context of a unilateral bombing pause of North Vietnam.

Walter Cronkite shares a good portion of the responsibility for eroding public trust in our military. He gave credence to folks like John Kerry, Jane Fonda and the Clintons.

[beezdotcom]

At least Uncle Walt has the right idea; this tape works to Bush's advantage. Especially the part about Bin Laden wanting us out of Iraq...that MUST mean we did the right thing going in...
