  • I am very happy to see the vidoe after you give this President Barack Obama remembers legendary CBS News anchor Walter Cronkite as someone who "invited us to believe in him and he never let us down."

  • Good, I like that you share this video Obama Remembers Walter Cronkite, I wish success always

  • Nice Video President Barack Obama remembers legendary CBS News anchor Walter Cronkite as someone who "invited us to believe in him and he never let us down That You Share , So Very Nice Thanks You

  • I Really Like The Video From Your President Barack Obama remembers legendary CBS News anchor Walter Cronkite as someone who "invited us to believe in him and he never let us down."

  • Walter, we need you now more than ever. Nobody remembers what you stood for, and the country needs a man of integrity to talk some sense.

  • Your Video President Barack Obama remembers legendary CBS News anchor Walter Cronkite as someone who Is Very Useful Sharing

  • My God this was awful. I do not know which Marxist, anti-American is worse. Cronkite ended the US involvement in Vietnam. Will Barack end the US?

  • @thermionic1234567 Congratulations. If that was intended to be satire, it was amazingly well done. If you are serious, you are suffering from a head injury for which you should seek immediate medical attention. In that case, go troll somewhere else, you fantastic waste of biological material.

  • @TfiveR Are you denying the fact that both Barack Hussein Obama and Walter Cronkite are/were, respectively, Marxists?

  • @thermionic1234567 By your use of the word "fact" we can all presume you do not understand the definition of the term, "fact". I do not need to deny it, especially Uncle Walter, because it is such utter nonsense as to only be a notion of an infantile mind. I believe you may have let your mind wander, and it is too small to be outside on it's own in this weather.

  • why the fuck is a video of paris hilton's cleavage in the suggestion section?????????

  • I was lucky enough to meet Mr.Cronkite in NYC years ago..and he was a kindly,intelligent and sweet gentleman..he was a true icon of the tv news. I agree with President Obama..Mr.Cronkite will truly be missed!(Crying)

    Goodbye Walt!

  • Mr. Preident this is proof positive that the Hangman's noose can be placed in the White House for U 2. That is the implied reasoning in the logic gotten from the VIDEO of VIDEOs of a Federal Employee being discriminated against like his and congressman Gregory W. Meeks WITH COMMAND RESPONSIBILITY CANNOT SAY HE WAS NOT AWARE AAND NOW THAT WE ALL KNOW AND CAN HEAR THE WHITE HOUSE WAS GIVEN PROPER NOTICE WITHOUT EXPOSING MYSELF & BE KILLED BY THE NYPD. WILL A BLACK PRESIDENT ALLOW SUCH GOINGS ON?

  • @phildrice

    I would love to take you seriously, but your lack of basic English skill writing is a huge fucking turn off.

  • I remember Douglas Edwards, before Walter. Is he still alive?

  • fuck obama ,since when he is a trusted person

  • These comments sure are rude,but i didn't get to watch Walter's news scenes because i was born after along time he died,but i can tell hes a good guy.

  • @GCkitomaru

    He only died recently... I think you mean after he retired...

  • @GCkitomaru dude, he died in '09... You need to figure out things, do research before you comment.

  • this man is a fucking  asshole or should i say mancunt.

  • @mackinl

    weak excuse for a man if you ask me, but i agree.

    he snubs his arrogant snout in everything. like he gives a flying fuck about cronkite or the little girl who was killed in the AZZ shootings. it is just another microphone from him to blow his ego mouth off in.

    A photo - op whore is all he is.

  • @HISWORDOFTRUTH1 Gee, why don't you tell us what you really think but for God's sake go and take your meds.

  • Back when Journalism was Journalism and not entertainment

  • tho this is nice to watch, i think this would be more effective/believable if Obama actually said how he was effected with walter's death / how walter effected his life. making it personal would make it more believable instead of just reading what his scrip writers tell him to say.

  • Obama is black? wow!

  • Dr. Cosby has had a much larger effect on the Civil Rights Community....mmmmm plum puddin

  • You tell em Obama!

  • who cares what obama is saying he just reads a teleprompter and knows nothing to say other than whats on it, these arnt his thoughts

  • when will obama ever speak with pure thoughts and heart...

    It is a tragedy to have a man leading a nation without it.

  • These comments are pathetic.

  • I agree...he's NOT being sincere!

  • Would have Walter Cronkite licked Obamas ass and thrown him softball questions like the people from CNN and MSNBC do on a daily basis?

  • He was part of the family. The evening news, his voice was somehow soothing. We saw bodies back then. Dead and broken bodies of boys fighting in Vietnam. Dad was in his chair shaking his head and Mom would be cooking dinner about that time. I could only stare at the TV. He was like a grandfather to me telling me "that's the way it is."

  • then he gave his view that it was a lost cause and we left, making all the deaths for nothing. Walter Cronkite

  • cronkite is cool. obama sucks

  • I didnt know they had tvs in Kenya.

  • Oh look everyone it's a BIRTHER!!

  • You certainly are. Gzillahh.

    And I will and have defended your right to say it.

  • One shred of evidence, please. One. ONE. Oh, that's right, you don't have any. Never mind.

  • It is all on youtube, check this video out:

    Walter Cronkite receives "Global Governance Award" from WFA

  • what a paranoid load of crap

  • For the record sovereignty was just the thing the fonders of your country were trying to escape.

  • Good riddance Cronkite you goofy old wack job.

  • You can just back off Walter Cronkite was an American Icon and he will be missed! Cronkite accomplished more in his life than you could ever dream of accomplishing!!

  • Ha ha ha ha.

    That's funny

  • Cronkite was far more noble than Obama could ever dream to be.

  • Tyler Null needs to go back to his Ann Coulter books--truth is clearly not his forte.

  • Democrats & Ad Hominem -- Life Partners

    Then again, with politics as toxic as their, distracting from them is their best option.

  • Goodbye, fuckshine. It hasn't been pleasant.

  • Hard to believe that Obama cares about Cronkite with all the terrible policies he's inflicting on Americans.

    He has turned out to be a poor leader. He and the real 'Obama Girl', Pelosi, are rushing a terrible healthcare bill through Congress for no other reason than 'change'. In the press conference yesterday, he basically told a caller that he didn't know what was in the bill.... nobody has read it.

    Note: the Obama hypocrite voted against healthcare reform when he was in the Senate.

  • According to Bohemiun Grove books, Walter Kronkite was a high priest in the organization. Another elite club of the eugenics new world order.

  • God's speed Walter Cronkite! We've lost another American icon,and true reporter; in every sense of the word.

  • Where was Obama's speech for MJ. He asked Michael to perform at his inaug., and Michael declined, so Obama needed MJ's support then. Walter is in their brotherhood, so he gets this kind of suppport. He did was he was supposed to do. Michael Jackson was breaking out of his prison and not playing his "role" of entertainer to influence the masses towards their goals, and was trying to help humanity and the children as best as he could in the situation, fighting a controlled puppet.

  • Obama send a letter to the Jackson family...

  • To all those of you who said that Michael Jackson wasn't relevant compared to this journalist, let me remind you that the whole world stopped talking about Obama when Michael Jackson died.The local authorities shut a whole freeway the day of the memorial.He had police escort. There was global live coverage of the memorial. I send my condolences to this journalist's family but don't tell me he was more relevant than Michael Jackson. Michael Jackson meant a lot to billions of people.

  • impeach obama !

  • We have been bereft of a trusted voice of integrity. He will be truly missed.

  • Ehm. WHY THE HELL COULDNT OBAMA MAKE SUCH A STATEMENT OF MICHAEL JACKSON?????

    Talk about ignoring your own race.

  • EH-HEM!

    Because he didn't. Get over it!

  • MJ was his own race.

  • I think he let all of the controversy which surrounded MJ influence his decision to not say anything initially. I disagree with him on that. He should have spoken up immediately.

  • Obama's statement after Michael Jackson's death was nothing but disrespectful. I think he is a media puppet and he is biased. I can't believe that Arnold Schwarzenneger made an unbiased statement and that he didn't. I'm flabbergasted.

  • This is ridiculous! I don't even know who this guy is and maybe that's my fault, but I am not an American. Michael Jackson touched so many lifes and brought people together, he was the popstar who donated the most money to charity. He was loved all over the world. He broke down race barriers. Where was Obama then???????????? Fuck the dude, seriously. I am pissed.

  • This is not correct! Michael Jackson, the greatest American dream, deserves to be recalled by the President of the United States of America. :(

  • wtf? why the president waste his time with this video?

  • wtf? why do you waste your time with this comment?

  • justingarak. I agree with you. I don't see how this video benefits Obama politically. If any it glues his lips ever closer to the rear end of mainstream media that protects him.

    It will also alert MJ fans and people of black community who were angered by Obama's avoidance of talking about Michael Jackson following his death, but will see this eulogy of a anchorman as a slap in the face.

  • Obama  you mofo...why couldn't do this for Michael Jackson. you are such an asshole!

  • MJ was an entertainer. Quite a few of those passes recently. Cronkite was a provider of news to generations of people. His effect on the American people far outweighed that of MJ. MJ was good, I'll give you that, but in the end Cronkite did so much more than mere music.

  • Michael Jackson was more than an entertainer he had the power to bring the world together. He opened so many doors to artists and I believe for Obama himslef...he broke racial barriers...he was known in each and every country around the world for his music and philanthropy and genius. he deserved more respect than a news reader..... MJ was/is a LEGEND...Cronkite was an american journalist that only the american people knew.

  • I need not say more about Walter than Obama here. He sums it up well enough.

  • yes because he is part of the system that don't really reflect what people want or think..it's all a big game.

  • I am sorrry but you obviously don't know much about MJ. He did WAY MUCH MORE than music, only that no one ever cared to report that, the media was too busy making up scandalous stories. Please do your research.

  • i agree completely. a lot of american are ignorant because they don't like doing sereach.... they just buy everything the media says. and the media only digs dirts and lies... they have never mentioned about the good deeds MJ had done all trhough his life.

    i hate it. i wish people knew more about him. there's absolutely no reason to dislike MJ if they knew even a fraction of who he is/what he's like.

  • and you know him?

    I'm sure there are some poor little boys who wish they didn't know him quite so well.

    screw Michael Jackson

  • gtmunn, poor little boys? Are you speaking of Michael's two sons, they actually miss their father.

    If you're not speaking about them, then tell me how is Larry Sinclair feeling about Obama not returning his phone calls lately since he got in to office.

  • I'm referring to the young children that accused him of molesting him. He was found not guilty, but the fact that they came forward is enough for me to dislike the man. Pedophilia to me is one of the worst crimes imaginable. Not something I take lightly. He was a pioneer in a pop music. I respect him for that. But do not like him as a man. But to b**** regarding Cronkite is terrible. Maybe not to our generation, but Cronkite played a great role in many lives around the world. A great man.

  • Just as you feel strong about pedophilia, I am the same, and I don't take lightly of false charges to tarnish someone over unproven assumption. The person who made allegations against Michael in 1993 parents accepted settlement and never filed charges against him. If the child was violated would you accept money from a potential predator or would see that person in court. 2nd, 10 years they had a opportunity to come out following the 2003 allegation, but they didn't. Do you not think that

  • (cont.) people will go over someone wealthy to try to extort them for money. Jackson could very well been a victim in 1993 than his accuser. To the 2003 accuser, Gavin I watched him say on national TV to British journalist Martin Bashir of nothing inappropriate happened between him and MJ. Then after that interview, I later saw a special on FOX that discredited the slant story told by Bashir, and revealed that the sensational attention brought by the Bashir interview had hurt Galvin's rep.

  • (cont.) reputation amongst his friends of other kids teasing him. Then a few weeks the news break of child molestation charges were filed by his parents who originally brought their children to MJ because for aid because their son Gavin was terminally stricken with cancer. Michael Jackson for most of his adult life have aided numerous children in need, it's important to realize that there are people out there who will take advantage of someone's generosity, and this was one of those situations

  • i knew him the best way i could.

    see? i'm not soo bless to have known him personally. but i'm glad to have known him for the little info he gives out about himself.

  • why u talk about MJ?. this videos is not about him.

  • *Sigh*

    Okay, MJ received a celebrity sendoff not seen since Regan's funeral a few years back. His respects were given aptly. So what if Obama was the only one not to go all out for the fellow? Perhaps Faucet, Mays, McMahon all deserved similar respects, but failed to receive such. Where's the griping there? Point is, Cronkite was a reporter first, and a celebrity second. He was honored for his many years of service to the profession. In the end, all was dished out fairly in my opinion.

  • He personally sent a letter to the Jackson family giving his condolences.

    He didn't do a video for MJ because it wouldn't look good for a president to have pity onscreen for someone who might have been a pedophile.

    Note: I'm not saying he was a pedophile, I'm pretty sure he was innocent, that's just what 90% of America thinks.

  • Right so the president himself doesn't believe in the justice system...what a great country!!! and before talking about 90% of Americans check your sources please. the accusations were totally false and time will prove this...

  • america is ran by ASHKENAZI GENTILES A.K.A EDOMITES/ SO-CALLED JEWS. they running this country into the ground. but don't be alarmed the real king is coming soon. JUST BE PREPARED WHEN HE COMES.

  • Mskoolaid: Nah, keep your brand of poison-laced kool-aid to yourself, please. God, the old "13 Jews who rule the world" myth is about as true as the one claiming the moon shots didn't happen. Man, there are just too many nuts running around YouTube!

  • Obama can remember Walter Cronkite, but can't remember that he met his wife Michelle in a law firm and not in college. I wonder how he forgot that???

  • A Great President, yet he has to combat criticism from mentally challenged ex VP candidates and hideous ex VPs, demagogues like Limbaugh and Hannity and propaganda networks like Faux news. Such opposition, hatred, smearing, calling the American president terrorist, socialist, communist is unparalleled in history. Who are committing the real treason?

  • Maybe if he stops bailing out corrupt bankers, and giving General Motors billions of dollars on the promise that GM won't go broke (which it did anyways) or banks sticking to regulations (which they won't).

    Or maybe closing Gitmo (he chickened out of it). Or maybe withdrawing the troops from Iraq (never! Rockefeller's Exxon Mobil will say NO)

    Or maybe forging peace in Afghanistan. No! He is surging the troops in Afghanistan.

    But he IS Barak Hussein, not George Bush II, right?

  • Walter Cronkite was nothing more than a Globalist...Trying to remove our freedoms! Dismantle our Constitution... Why should we honor such a person...? I don't hate the guy or his opinion; I just don't like what he stands for... Google -World Federalist Association - Walter Cronkite- And see for yourselves!

  • Comment removed

  • Yes, he will raise taxes, upon the top 1.2 percent of Americans. Not bad actually, those pricks have skated long enough. As for the >250K bracket, we'll remain untouched. So to anyone unlucky enough to have better earnings than that, learn to save your fucking money just like the rest of us!

  • Comment removed

  • I would rather have another 8 years of Bush than the past 6 months of Obama.

    And I vote for this President with training wheels.

  • i would rather a smart guy than a dumb guy running the country!

  • Then you're a moron. I didn't vote for either of those two hacks, nor would I, but at least Obama hasn't taken a shit on the Constitution yet. Fuck you, and anyone who apologizes for the Bush administration. You should be ashamed.

  • He hast shit on it because in Obamaland the constitution does not exist you fucking asclown piece of shit.

  • Dare I ask you to prevent evidence to support your claim? Or should I just assume that you have none since you seem to be nothing more than a neocon faggot? I will dare to. And don't give me the socialist bullshit. That has nothing to do with the Constitution. Go ahead, pussyboy, try your hardest,

  • Everything melted into mist. Sometimes, indeed, you could put your finger on a definite lie. It was not true, for example, as was claimed in the Party history books, that the Party had invented aeroplanes. He remembered aeroplanes since his earliest childhood. But you could prove nothing. There was never any evidence.

    From 1984 by George Orwell

  • Winston could not even remember at what date the Party itself had come into existence. He did not believe he had ever heard the word Ingsoc before 1960, but it was possible that in its Oldspeak form-English Socialism, that is to say — it had been current earlier. ....

  • His exploits had been gradually pushed backwards in time until already they extended into the fabulous world of the forties and the thirties, when the capitalists in their strange cylindrical hats still rode through the streets of London in great gleaming motor-cars or horse carriages with glass sides. There was no knowing how much of this legend was true and how much invented. ...

  • He tried to remember in what year he had first heard mention of Big Brother. He thought it must have been at some time in the sixties, but it was impossible to be certain. In the Party histories, of course, Big Brother figured as the leader and guardian of the Revolution since its very earliest days. ...

  • Assuming Walter meet both Obama and George W. Bush, that means he met every president since Hoover. How many people can say they've met 14 presidents?

    It's sad though that he passed just 3 days short of the 40th anniversary of the moon landing, one of the most memorable moments he was associated with.

  • both walter and jackson are not relivent to america, whats with so much celeb. worshiping?

  • that's something no one can change, well known people are more likely to have more people mourn, nevertheless; this doesn't mean that only celebs are mourned for.

  • Pretty well spoken speech by Obama. Even though I don't agree with some of his issues, he says it with feeling and really does care about people and our country. A change will be made soon, I can feel it. Walter was simply of the greatest news broadcasters EVER to deliver the news. Boy, will he be missed.

  • Very well said. I agree 100%.

  • But Michael Jackson was more important to the whole word. The President should have stated how important Michael was. Mr. Cronkite was just a news caster Michael Jackson had Neverland and was the world's most famous pop star.

  • I'm just happy both Michael Jackson and Walter Cronkite were a huge part of my childhood. Two very unique legends.

  • TACOHTP,

    I think the reason Obama gave a more touching tribute to Cronkite than Michael Jackson is Obama figured Jackson did enough touching himself.

  • MJ was definately more important to the world culturally than some old media parrot

  • Stop leaving comments that have nothing to do with walter Cronkite.

  • THANKS YOU!!!!

    Cronkite's voice will live on.

  • NO IT WON'T

  • This is the Change. A President that behaves like a President.

  • A great President America.

    The hardest working man on Earth.

  • EgyptianPrinceCB: Big deal! Global government will happen, probably when you and I are long gone. It's a necessary step in the maturation of the human race from a jingoistic, predatory, dangerous, savage child-race.

  • kiss ikhtek

  • EgyptianPrinceCB: You have quite a hard-on against world government, don't you? Get the corncob out of your nether region and stop besmirching Walter Cronkite with your crackpot comments.

  • Walter Cronkite called for one World Government..

    So, don't lecture me about ethics, BOY

  • I'll lecture you as I please, child. Learn some manners. It's bad taste to speak ill of the dead. Or did you think callling yourself a "prince" exempts you from basic decency? Get stuffed.

  • It's NEVER a bad taste to exploit the corrupt and the morally decadent.

    Maybe we shouldn't speak ill of Hitler or Mussolini or Stalin because they are dead.

  • Another foolish statement, EgyptianPrinceCB. But they seem to be your specialty. It is in bad taste to not even wait till Cronkite is cold before leveling crazy criticisms. As for Hitler, Mussolini, and Stalin, news flash: they've been dead for awhile, so they're fair game. Learn some manners, oh petty self-styled potentate of bad taste!

  • AriesTRam:

    I must agree with you about globalization, for not doing so is to disagree with logic in its own right.

  • I see you mentioned a few of the former attempts at globalization, all failed saved for the EU. Let's look at the natural progression that history has taught us:

    Inevitably our societies have always gone from a small secluded state, to a more outreaching interdependent one. From towns to counties, to Providences/States to Nations, it has been the nature of society. The only logical conclusion is that the next step (with the recent advent of technology and high speed travel) is globalization.

  • Globalization failed miserably under Bill Clinton when he instituted World Trade Organization.

    Before I try to correct teh MANY mistakes that you are stating without a thread of a moral conscience, allow me to indulge you into ONE event, whose truth is sufficient to debase your claim of inevitable World Government.

    Bretton Woods Conference. ITO (or WTO), IMO, IMF, and end of "economic nationalism" all done by coercion in the dark in 1944 before the end of WW2!

    You are traitor to your nation!

  • EgyptianPrinceCB: Wow, you are so full of shit! Nationalism will pass into the dustbin of history, and there will be a World Government, for the betterment of all. But don't worry, you and I will be long dead before that happens. As for calling me a traitor to your nation, why don't you just go fuck yourself, you arrogant troll. Take your Bretton Woods Conference and stick it up your ass.

  • For thousand of American who died trying to forge an independent entity, separate, autonomous, and free from the existing British Empire of the time.

    Millions of Europeans have perished for the sake of rule-by-representation and nationhood and "nation-states," which liberated Europe of its feudal monarchical tyranny.

    Now, *YOU* want to go back to that!

  • EgyptianPrinceCB: You are truly deluded, or probably high on some good drugs. i want some of what you're smoking, champ! A world government that is represented by its people won't be the nightmare you're so frightened of. It won't be like Orwell's 1984. Stop cowering, please. It's undignified!

  • That was a corrupt system consisting mainly of dictatorships and oligarchies, systems far too outdated to be of relevance in a new Global society. Those systems were also brought about through epochs of war. A new global society will most likely be brought about through much representation, economic tie-ins, and above all else, greater education and understanding of our fellow human beings, the last of which you obviously dispossess yourself of.

  • I'm sorry, but it is you who is mistaken. If history has taught us ONE THING, it's that it's lessons are immutable. One only need look at the progression of society to see that we are indeed headed for a global one. Like any sociological evolution, it will come about through much trial and error. I'm no traitor to see this. In fact, if anyone be the traitor here, it is you to all of humankind. Due to your excessive denial of an obvious outcome, and therefore unwonted tensions.

  • this is true

  • Walter Cronkite was a hero to millions of people...r.i.p******

  • Nicely said, RIP Walter Cronkite.

  • Walter Cronkite was a wonderful news anchor, and trusted member of the press.

    Thank you, Mr. President, for acknowledging this wonderful man.

    R.I.P. Walt

  • yeah and that tag line of his:

    And that's the way it is will live mna it will live you cannot have known and watched him without knowing that line!

  • God, I love this President! What a warmth!

    God Bless you Mr. Cronkite. You are family.

    You , David Brinkley and Frank White were the BEST!

  • Eew.

    Democrat lickspittles in full bloom. Cronkite was a Democrat lap dog who posed as a government watch dog and defrauded America throughout the Cold War, always declaring our defeat and always suggesting surrender.

    Good riddance to CronKunt.

  • You are an idiot.

  • As if a psycho would know.

    The historical record of Walter CronKunt's traitorious frauds against America remains unchanged by YouTube posts, psycho.

  • I hope you get an allergy that will make your dick explode.

  • I just ate some alligator at a restaurant on Friday afternoon. I feel so tough after eating alligator that I'm going to kick your ass.

    Cronkite is a decent enough guy. A professional to the end. A wonderful human. You are a retard who should shove a stick up his ass and impale hiimself.

  • "

    How Cronkite and the SLIMC lost the Vietnam War for America.

    ... The bigger question to ponder involves how a traitorous liar like Cronkite, publicly convicted by his own televised lies, ever became so beloved, and so believed by so many. He was the "leader of the pack," so to speak, but every other talking-head on every available network channel at the time was doing the exact same thing; they just weren't as beloved as Cronkite.

    "

    Good riddance CronKunt, you treasonous scum.

  • Have you listened to yourself? "Blah, blah, blah..."

  • Re TylerNull:

    Yeah, I may cross you as a vacuous bastard, and that's fine. But I've got one question: Why the FUCK are you being so disrespectful in light of the fact that a man is dead? Have you no decency? Don't bother with your "but Cronkite was a lying bastard" argument. I wouldn't hear it if it were Bush you spoke of! When a man dies, regardless of my disdain for him in life, I respect him in death. I may be irrational, and unreasonable in that fact. So be it!

  • By what morality or ethics is it decent to be respectful -- in a political forum on YouTube -- to those who spend their lives defrauding America & siding with her enemies?

    Oh, that's right, you already tried to inoculate against logic, reason & morality.

    And if you're deluding yourself that your views are shared by other CronKunt types, then visit this video:

    VIDEO: "Memorial Video -- Jesse Helms"

    You should be congratulating me for "embracing cultural diversity" and returning the love.

  • By my own morality. By how I was brought up and taught. No man's death should be viewed in a joyous light.

    Inoculate? Ah, by beating you to the proverbial punch? Well, if that's how you view it...

    Still, if the person I hated most were to kick it tomorrow, I'd still be gracious enough to realize that they might have friends or family in mourning. Like I said, I possess basic human respect. You've intellect, I'll give you that, but you lack in terms of decency. Your attitude shows this.

  • Contrary to your evident self image, there is NOTHING decent about your notions.

    I asked you to explain your morality, and you simply recite its dogma.

    Respecting the depraved is not of any morality I respect. I stated over many posts the reasons CronKunt was a depraved, treasonous fraud. You offer nothing but fluffy platitudes.

    I find your vacuous morality to be indecent; to be repugnant

  • I don't disrespect the dead, because they are no longer there to defend themselves. It's as if you were to have both your legs and arms broken, and then told you'd have to fight an opponent who is himself in peak physical condition. Would you view that as even the least bit fair? You decided to rag on a man who isn't there to sate his own defense. You've decided to take on the easiest target imaginable. How proud you must be! Now if you question my morality still...I'll know you don't get it.

  • I stopped questioning your morality with my last post.

    Fair?

    As US citizen troops were fighting side by side with the So. Vietnamese, Cronkite led the propaganda war against them from the safety of US soil. Cronkite's communist-Democrat buddies slandered them & otherwise betrayed us. As we post, Cronkite's buddies continue their propaganda war against America, controlling 99% of all media, as measured by their relative political donations.

    If you're not depraved, then you're an ignoramus.

  • First off, yes. Fair. Secondly, I hold my own opinions on the Vietnam War, but that's not why I'm here. I didn't come looking for a political debate when I responded to you, as I believe you've mistaken me for doing. I questioned your gull as to your derogatory comments. You see, you make a fine case, but you diminish it with the insults of a high schooler. It is possible to both respect the man in death, but state your case against him as well. You might try it sometime.

  • "you make a fine case"

    Since you acknowledged the veracity of my reasoning, the only remaining disagreement is in whether or not to respect the scum after it dies. I suggest we don't.

    It's certainly "possible" to respect the depraved, but it's also an exercise in depravity, isn't it? I suggest such behavior is to be avoided. I find it repugnant.

    The reasoning herein is so obvious that my last tag line applies. I often hope for the latter, but my experiences leave me not so optimistic.

  • As I said earlier, to even make such a case AFTER one's death is the easiest possible target you could choose. The man is no longer around to defend himself, and someone else cannot rightfully defend him, because someone else cannot know his choice of defense.

    But let me ask you, just so I know what I'm dealing with; are you a Vietnam Vet, or the child of one? In other words, do you have any first or second generation ties to that war which is your main arguing point in this needless debacle?

  • Furthermore, I only acknowledged the fact that you make a good case. Not an infallible one. But I won't get into that. My point through all of this is that what you have said, say now, and most likely will continue to say, is needless. It appears as nothing more than a cry for a debate. This, I'm not sorry to say, is PAINFULLY obvious. Your personal disdain for Cronkite is only the tip of the argumentative iceberg that is you. It would behoove you to find a more apt forum for your needs.

  • Yeah these hi up news anchors think they are the spoken. Do you job and report and leave you opinions to yourslves! Let the military do it's job.

  • Rest in Peace, Walter Cronkite. Well said, Pres. Obama.

  • Cronkunt was President of the HO CHI MINH ADMIRATION SOCIETY.

    With each of America's battlefield victories alongside the South Vietnamese, Cronkunt would declare our defeat and advise our surrender to communism, along with Fonda, Kerry, and Democrat party leaders.

    Good Riddance to the Treasonous Scum

  • What a truly baseless ignoramus you are.

  • Shhhh...there, there, yellow-belly...
