I defecate on his memory ... just like he constantly defecated on the United States.

As someone who knew him personally I can attest that this article is way too easy on him. A limousine liberal of the first water. No tears for the Chablis and brie’ crowd.

“Cronkite said that for the United States “the first priority of the new order must be a revision of the educational system to . . . guarantee that each of our citizens will have equal resources to share in the decisions of the democracy, and a fair share of the economic pie.”

This from a man who made $700,000.00 per year in 1969........

There is no doubt that Cronkite was an anti-American left wing liberal socialist and a hypocrite beyond belief belief. The man is one the main reasons we lost our will to fight and win the Vietnam war. That war was not lost in the jungles of Vietnam but on the broadcast of CBS evening news by Cronkite and on the front pages of the New York Times.

As far as love of country and trustability goes...Cronkite was a minor player compared to El Rushbo!

Walter Cronkite is another one who had better have a VERY good drainage system around his grave site as there are millions of Viet Nam vests who are waiting patiently to water the flora an fauna in that immediate vicinity!

Kaslin, thank you for posting this.

On the occasion of the death of Walter Cronkite, I would urge all Freepers to view the linked video at the thread below at post #3 by freeper Wolverine. (The thread was started by shrinkermd, and I would like to thank both of them for posting this.)

The Lies of Tet

This should be required viewing for ALL Americans, as it is factual in nature, impossible to refute, and extremely illustrative of the dangers of biased reporting.

Many people are completely unaware of this, as they are also unaware of "Uncle Walter's" promotion and support for a one world government and a loss of American sovereignty...which he expressly states with NO equivocation or room for misinterpretation. See the following link:

Walter Cronkite Promoted a World Government-1999 Speech

Walter Cronkite. Nope, don’t recall the name. Was he famous once?

You can always count on IBD to shine the light of truth. I’ll be more blunt than them - - Cronkite was a bloated scumbag who has the blood of thousands of American servicemen on his dead hands. Even in his final years of fading into dementia Cronkite hated America, promoting socialism and joining fellow rats like Harry Reid in declaring Iraq a lost cause. Good riddance, Cronkite, you sick scumbag.

a fair share of the economic pie

Is whatever you are able to work for and earn, either by your direct labor, or by running a business. Either way, under a capitalist system you have to serve your fellow man in a way that benefits him in order to earn your way. Those who serve their fellow man in the most beneficial ways earn the most. Forcing "fairness" for those who aren't willing to serve their fellow man cheats those of us who are willing to serve others.

Capitalism is a very simple system when you look at it that way, and a very fair system. Why lefties are too stupid to get it is a source of never ending amazement to me.

Walter Cronkite took his status as a person the public trusted and used it to push a personal/political agenda instead of merely reporting the news and leaving it at that. We see the same thing with global warming “scientists” who push their politics instead of being advocates for the scientific method. They all abuse the trust of those who believe them. Propagandists all, often dangerously so, but nothing more than good liars and snake oil sales people.
