"It certainly is the right of the anti-abortionists and those who oppose gay marriages to defend, express and even propagandize their beliefs," he says, "but is it their right to impose their definition of morality on those who hold opposing views? The answer is a resounding 'no'. ... This columnist believes that among conservatives and liberals alike there is a majority who would put the sanctity of individual rights even above the sanctity with which some would endow the banning of abortion and gay marriage." Right and wrong IS NOT decided by a majority vote.

Commie scumbag traitor. Not to mention the 5.5 million Asian men, women, and children who were slaughtered because of this bastard and his lies.

If I have the opposing view that it's moral for me to kill you, would you still have the right to impose your morality on me walter? Would the answer still be a resounding no?

I couldn't stand Walter Cronkite and never did trust him!
I understood media bias before it was "cool" ...when my first vote/ volunteering was working for Goldwater.

Another ancient, fossilized liberal who never saw a line he wasn't willing to cross and who regarded people whose views remained constant "dangerous radicals."
I suppose if FDR were alive today, even at age 127 he'd be out there pushing his wheelchair in a march to legalize bestiality.
As I said on another thread, Cronkite and the Ivy League are tied as exhibit A in the theory that the Left is actually run by the Old American Establishment. Thurston Howell Guevara III?

Why doesn’t the fawning coverage of this man EVER bring up the fact that he was ONLY an “icon” because at the time, there WASN”T anyone else? Three channels. Three anchors. All liberal. And everyone in this hemisphere watched the CBS Evening News. He just happened to get in when the getting was good...for him.

In 1965, before abortion was made legal in the U.S., Cronkite made CBS the first network in America to feature a documentary on abortion ...entitled 'Abortion and the Law'... The documentary claimed to tackle the controversial issue impartially, dealing with the "legal, moral and medical aspects," but in fact, it amounts to an hour-long argument in favour of legal abortion. Amidst a barrage of experts spouting the need for abortion and women giving horrifying testimonies about illegal abortions, Cronkite pays mere lip service to the pro-life viewpoint.
Substitute "gay rights" or "gay marriage" for "abortion", and it's the "same old, same old" propaganda treatment that we're getting today from the MSM.

Our challenge is to persuade people that your view of morality arising from somewhere beyond opinion, is a legitimate view.
Even here at FR, the vast majority support Hollywood by attending the movies, thus giving tacit ascent to the far left’s opinions setting the morals for the country. We don’t really do what we advocate.
Why would groups like the Vatican praise this darkened pagan for his work? He hated everything they wanted to promote. Hmmmmm.

Post 5: Commie scumbag traitor.... 5.5 million Asian men, women, and children... were slaughtered because of this bastard and his lies. Post 7: With every passing day, I learn to loathe Cronkite more and more.
Post 8: He did more than help the North Vietnamese, he handed them victory.
Post 10: he bears huge responsibility for the "blame America first" worldview that pervades society in the post-Vietnam era.
Post 11: I couldn't stand Walter Cronkite and never did trust him!
Post 13: Walter Cronkite said he was glad to sit here at the right hand of Satan
Post 14: ...Another ancient, fossilized liberal who never saw a line he wasn't willing to cross...
Post 19: How many lives was he responsible for between Vietnam and... abortion on demand...?
And to think: Dan Rather longed to be just like him!
The moral of this story, FReepers, is that FreeRepublic did Dan Rather a great big favor!

Walter Cronkite used his bully pulpet as a news anchor to spread Democratic, Socialist and Communist propaganmda. He did more to defeat America in the Vietnam war than did the Communists.
I watched it happen.

Walter was a pig. A leftist filthmonger that was just another traitor to Christian America. I hope he packed his sunscreen.
Piss on him. He betrayed the country, its fighting men and millions of unborn.
need I say it again: Piss on him. Where he’s now, he’ll welcome the moisture.

Cronkite was also the first person I heard speak of global warming.

Isn't ironic for a lefty to accuse someone else of "imposing" their morality on others?
