CRONKITE: KARL ROVE BEHIND BIN LADEN TAPE Sat Oct 30 2004 16:31:19 ET

Former CBSNEWS anchorman Walter Cronkite believes Bush adviser Karl Rove is possibly behind the new Bin Laden tape.

Cronkite made the startling comments late Friday during an interview on CNN.

Cronkite said he is "inclined to think that Karl Rove, the political manager at the White House, who is a very clever man, he probably set up bin Laden to this thing."

Interviewer Larry King did not ask Cronkite to elaborate on the provocative election eve accusation.

Why is everybody so stunned by this? The kernel of Wacky Wally's charge is that a prominent American with great political influence is conspiring with a known enemy of the United States in time of war for selfish political reasons. Why is this a shock? We KNOW John Kerry did exactly this during the Vietnam war.

See Response 146 for an explanation of how Walter Cronkite got the title "Most Trusted Man in America" in 1974.

Just because Cronkite was able to pull the wool over more Americans' eyes than the rest of the MSM didn't make it true. Walter Cronkite is, and always was, an extremely biased liberal.

Cronkite is an idiot and he proves it on a regular basis. A lefty who would try and have us believe he is "middle of the road."

Cronkite lost it a loooong time ago. This guy is vying with Jimmie "Peanuts" Carter for boob of the year.

The looney left.....I love them....you couldn't ask for a better opponent....the wilder they rant the higher Bush's poll numbers go up..

You can say that again. Anybody catch the glassy wild eyed foaming at the mouth Phil Donahue on Hannity and Weasil the other night? That had to be worth a point or two for Bush, not to mention a good laugh at yet another out of work out of touch has-been leftist commie kook.

If Karl Rove was half as powerful as made out to be, Bush would be up by 20%

lets really make this fun.

Rove controls Cronkite and programmed him to say that Rove was behind the OBL tape.

That causes increased fear of Rove and baits kerry to make an
ad about it. Then OBL releases another tape wearing a Bears
jersey mumbling something about "lambert field".

Cronkite goes back on CNN to endorse Ralph Nader.
Hellary and Bubba exchange congratulatory emails as they dont
see each other in person any more.

I think Cronkite is behind the assassination of JK Kennedy. See, I can through out lame unsupported whacko conspiracy theories too.

I guess helping the VC just wasn't enough for old Walt.

On Thursday October 28th COngressman Jim McDermott, Washington State, said the same thing almost.
On KIRO Radio's Mike Webb Show he said that he thought the Bush Administration and the CIA were behind the little Johnny Taliban tape, the one that said our streets would "run with blood".

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

From A Speech to the UN by Walter Cronkite:

It seems to many of us that if we are to avoid the eventual catastrophic world conflict we must strengthen the United Nations as a first step toward a world government patterned after our own government with a legislature, executive and judiciary, and police to enforce its international laws and keep the peace.

To do that, of course, we Americans will have to yield up some of our sovereignty. That would be a bitter pill. It would take a lot of courage, a lot of faith in the new order.

But the American colonies did it once and brought forth one of the most nearly perfect unions the world has ever seen.

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

Don't forget, Wally's tagline was:

"Now that's the way it IS ..."

It took Wally's friend Bill to help us see that this is really an admission that everything in the newscast is obfiscation and dissemblence not a report of the truth.

I was wondering what was taking them so long to come out with this. Guess they restrained themselves for (barely) 24 hours but then they just couldn't hold it in any more.

Does this mean that Walter no longer believes that Bush has bin Laden tied up in the basement of the White House?
