[GunRunner]

This kind of traitorous tripe doesn't really deserve a response. But I would like to point out Cronkite's basic stupidity of world history and revolution. Any student of Crane Brinton's theory knows that people who are poor and destitute almost never revolt; they are too busy trying to come up with the next meal. They don't have time to pick up a gun (or hijack a plane) and fight, because their mind is on surviving day to day, not self-determination, independence, or freedom.

On the contrary, many countries experience revolution while the economy is recovering or even booming.

I can't believe my parents' generation depended on this boob for news. But then, they didn't have Laurie Dhue back then :')

[aruanan]

Cronkite should be tested for Alzheimers because something sure is addling his thought processes.

[sheik yerbouty]

The old bugger really is senile!

[PBRSTREETGANG]

America "hogs the world's wealth" and Cronkite is wealthier than 99.8% of Americans. Perhaps the old fool wants to give the terrorists his address.

(Although I'm sure he feels that he earned his wealth, whereas every other American came by it dishonestly.

[Corporate Law]

Walter, if you have a problem being wealthy, I would be more than happy to take that problem off your hands.

[ldish]

Hey Walter, how much of your millions are you sending to the non-infidels in the middle east? Why aren't the leaders of the Islamic nations sharing their millions and billions with their own people? Duh, who should the poor people of America go begging to for their share of the wealth of those like you CEOs, Actors, Anchors, and professional ball players? huh?

[chs68]

Hey Walter --

Did this ever enter your small liberal brain?

The United States is rich because we are free.

Instead of directing their anger towards the freedom-loviong people of the United States, the people who do not enjoy what we enjoy should devote themselves to staging revolutions against those forces that throttle freedom in their own countries.

Arab people do not have to be poor. That they tolerate rulers who deny them basic freedoms is a BIG reason for their poverty.

Don't blame us. Blame them instead.

[mitchbert]

Stupid leftist claptrap fantasy that one person (or nation's) increase in wealth has to come at the expense of someone else's. Utter drivil. Have these idiots never heard of "creation of wealth?"

Besides, Bangladeshis, many Indians, etc live in abject poverty. I don't recall them screaming about destroying America. This generally starts in nations with at least some degree of education and wealth. Truly poor and destitute people are too busy eeking out their meager existence to worry about becoming terrorists.

Go rant into a toy microphone in front of a mirror, Walter.

[1Old Pro]

If it's a revolution of poor vs. rich, old rich walter better go hide.

[Semper Paratus]

Comrade Cronkite's world ended with the demise of the CCCP.

[tubebender]

When Cranktite said we must get out of Vietnam the will of the American public collapsed. He was as bad or worse than jane fondle. In those days I drank my jug wine out of water tumblers and the glass punched a hole in the sheetrock when it missed the TV...

[Burkeman1]

Walter, "the war is unwinnable", Cronkite makes an ass out of himself yet again. This man's career was one of bias and shoddy reporting. He would have done less harm to the world if he had been a ditch digger (in fact any ditch digger has done more for the world than this nattering old fool.)

[Cacique]

Typical leftist misunderstanding of basic economics. To them wealth is a finite pie and a zero sum game. never mind the fact that most of the world is poor and backwards because they refuse to be productive.

If it wasn't for the productive people of the world we would still be living in caves but the leftist envy crowd doesn't understand that. Further proof that these degenerates have a low IQ lower than apes.

[lavaroise]

The liberal politics of shame, racism and stereotyping. Not that the hijackers were ritzy and liberal educated Saudis is bothering him either. Man, when the mind plays tricks on people because they praise it too much, we witness the insanity of Conkrite sh!t. LOL. The demons make me laugh, so much subserviant to sodomizing definitions, yet so proud of squealing out their tune while they proceed on Cokrite sh!t.

[Gritty]

Poor Walter! He must have forgotten his meds again.

Or maybe he's just been hanging around Bill Clinton too much.

[Smile-n-Win]

Cronkite: Terrorism a "Revolution of the Poor Against the Rich"

Cronkite is terribly revulsive to the poor as well as the rich.

[jjm2111]

Maybe old Walter should invite a few Sudanese slaves to live in his swank upper east side co-op. Whoops, Sudanese slaves aren't a trendy liberal cause. Oh well.

[KellyAdmirer]

Revolutions are internal events, Walter. Go back to crying about Vietnam.

[Barnacle]

Do you remember the "bad old days" when Cronkite's report was the final word? There were no rebuttals.

[N. Theknow]

Mr. Kronkite, meet Dr. Kevorkian. Since you are already brain dead, the good doctor will finish things up.
