Poor Walter. Went and ruined the fun of sending somebody else’s kid to die in Vietnam.

I think JOhnson was right - Cronkite could influence America to turn against the war effort. Do I think Johnson fought that war to win? No way.

I remember his treason; I hope others do too.

Debbie does it RIGHT!

She expressed my feelings exactly for that anti-American socialist bastard. I was there during TET '68 and my family were wrecks worrying for my well being because of his reporting.

They were amazed to hear from me of the super ass kicking we gave Charlie. (was going to use a more colorful term, but thought better of it) Too many Americans to this day don't really know how bad we hurt them.

With no disrespect intended:

We got our POWS back and we left. Nixon backed out of his promise of money to NVN, so they kept the remaining POWs.

Thank you for providing the detail regarding what I merely sketched.

My wife had relatives on both sides of that war, and Cronkite and the entire anti-war left is directly responsible for prolonging the bloodshed and for the ultimate destruction of a country that was becoming another Asian Tiger - not that they care.

Bravo because of this old ass Commie lover I had to watch my step dad struggle with the vietnam war over and over in his mind for 14 years before he died. I say good riddance you POS Walter !!!!!!!! May the men that died because of your lies and commie loving ways greet you where ever you are going and toss you into the firey pitt of hell!

[Political Junkie Too]

But he taught the MSM the true power of their profession!

I cannot and will not disagree with her.

In todays world, she has teh guts to stand up and speak the truth.

Bless her.

[My Favorite Headache]

TMZ.com has a poll up asking was Cronkite the best anchor ever?

So, why were we involved so deeply? What was Johnson and his left-wing lackys’ end game? WEre they trying to break the American will and bank simultaneously.

No comment.

Archie Bunker already said it all.

If he is buried in Houston, where he was born, I’m sure my dad will be arrested for dancing on his grave. Dad never forgave him for Viet Nam.

The Benedict Arnold of modern times is dead. Yawn!!!

[Dr. Thorne]

He was a traitor - pure and simple.

I wouldn't want to be him standing before the ultimate judge covered in blood. Not the blood of the Redeemer, but the blood of the brave defenders of a nation blessed by God, shed needlessly because his arrogant hatred of our blessed nation.
