Asian women want to be your wife lushfmlk.info

[YITTG]

We should be over it if someone is gay. Tell that to God on Judgement day!

[MusicJew158]

Sir I don't give a fuck if you were in Vietnam because you still come off as an asshole when you spout anti gay shit...Frankly I don't give a fuck if one is liberal or conservative we should be over whether or not someone is gay by now...Everyone on the internet is kind of a pussy since they aren't saying stuff to people's face.

[oarsman68]

Evidently most of us are so busy grinding our own axes that we've missed the astonishing human moment that is this video. Bad form, boys. Thank you, Mr. Cronkite and Mr. Rooney.

[nwhwy]

Fuck the pinko prick! His false liberal bullshit reporting on the Tet offensive in Vietnam in 1968, were a big reason the American public turned against the war. I just hope Hanoi Jane Fonda Is close behind!

[jerrydoubleu]

nwhwy, i knew it, yourr just an anonymous troll coward.

[nwhwy]

I knew it, your just a turd tamper! I killed better men in Vietnam than you! You mentally ill, homo, pussy, liberal piece of shit! You and your boyfriend are the cowards!

[jerrydoubleu]

nwhwy, you sound gay to me.  Got weiner?

[nickypeeps]

what's not to believe? the fucking guy was 92. i would have been less surprised if andy pulled up a second casket next to walter's, jumped in, and closed the lid

[tmcn0410]

I am afraid that most of you might not have had the pleasure of a really good friend, that is more the exectption than the rule, both of these men are exceptional due to that fact that they were good friends, all othe issues are moot.

[CascaMMA]

That was my comment

[sunny8275]

I have a comment on my memory of Mr. Cronkite. There was no CNN, internet, cell phones, etc.....

Our tv was black and white. Every evening we anxiously awaited CBS News to show live footage from Vietnam. Why? My family naively thought we would catch a glimpse of my 18 year old brother who was fighting a war. I think my mom convinced the fam that Mr. Cronkite would find him as he was reporting. And for that Mr. Cronkite, farewell and thank you. PEACE

[NJtoTX]

Wow, you come here thinking that people will be moved enough by Andy at 90 being so emotional at Cronkite's funeral that they will acknowledge it by writing something, and the page is full of petty bickering that should be taken elsewhere.

[CascaMMA]

"to avoid the eventual catastrophic world conflict we must strengthen the United Nations as a first step toward a world government "

Who said that and what does it mean to you?

[KLanz123]

It tells me that whoever made that statement believes in the benefits of a one-world government. So what? Please spare us the John Birch hysterics. Plenty of folks share that pie-in-the-sky ideology, which is something that both you and I know will never be realized. I understand the thinking behind it, and I would not dare to demonize the people that support it. It amazes me when someone insists on demonizing someone simply because of an idea they share.

[drgorman]

Typical Conspiracy theorist attack. Lose the argument, delve into childish rants. I maybe a stupid fuck (according to you), but at least I am not a lying, conspiracy theorist hypocrite like you who wants to take my freedom away. Over my dead body will you take away my right to entertaining amenities.

And obviously since you believe in "freedom" (your version of it anyway) you would have no problem if I spat on your mom's grave seeing as you believe you can spit on Cronkite's?

[SlapMyAssDude]

How touching and "real"! God bless him and all who loved him.

[drgorman]

Mike4567able aka a person who claims to be for freedom but would gladly take my rights to watch wrestling, play video games or other things, you have taken a quote out of context. He is referring to the way the colonies became to the US. And you never provided evidence for eugenics. Another hypocrite conspiracy theorist you are.

[CascaMMA]

Cronkite was a classic. Unfortunately he turned into a new world order elitist ,CFR and Bilderburg member supporting eugenic philosophies. He had a terrific career.

R.I.P. Mr Cronkite

[drgorman]

Evidence?

[CascaMMA]

" he turned into a new world order elitist ,CFR and Bilderburg member supporting eugenic philosophies"

drgorman "Evidence"?

watch?v=voyvRhL_chw&feature=re­lated

watch?v=inu9vKXsrFA

Do a little research

[drgorman]

Ha. So not only do you post a propaganda video that shows nothing other than Cronkite receieving an award that proves nothing, but you actually tell me to research your accusation as if it's "guilty until proven innocent." We got another conspiracy theorist hypocrite here.

[CascaMMA]

You can try and delegitimize my comments by calling me a "conspiracy theorists" but I dod not understand your hypocrite reference.

The Council for Foreign Relations and the Bilderburg Group are real organizations. And both groups, in their own ways, shape social engineering towards a globalist view. Those are facts. Cronkite was a proud member of the CFR and a long standing member of Bilderburg.

[drgorman]

My hypocrite reference is to how you conspiracy theorists think. You claim to be for freedom but you will gladly say I have no right to crtiicize Alex Jones, Ron Paul or anyone else that is your camp.

So? I suppose because you read it on the internet it's true. You've provided no concrete evidence.

[CascaMMA]

drg, you are obviously mixing me up with someone else. Or simply generalizing. I've not written anything that resembles your comments.

Are you familiar with the CFR?

cfr . org

Do you really know anything about the organization? Or just throw out "You're a nut" when someone brings the CFR and their plans and influences up in a debate?

Do a little research - go to the library or maybe to the damn website and see what they are into. Help yourself. Take it a step farther then ridicule.

[drgorman]

I am not mixing you up with someone else. That's how conspiracy theorists. Ban sports, ban newspapers, ban TV, and anything they don't like.

In fact for it being such a secret, evil organization a lot info can be found. The information you pick is taken out of context and it is written by nutters.

And again, are the one who is making the accusation, you tell me to do the research. Why the "guilty until proven innocent" mentality?" That's again part of the hypocrisy.

[CascaMMA]

No, I am extremely familiar with the CFR, the history and workings of the FRB and the fractional reserve system and the policies that have surfaced because of both. Are you?

I've provided you quotes from cronkite that shows his endorsement of a NWO. You been provided with organizations (CFR, Bilderburg) that work towards "globalization" and that he had membership.

I made the initial comment. You asked for evidence. I gave it to you. Not sure what else you expect. I've proven my statement

[CascaMMA]

You've proven nothing but a severe lack of understanding concerning international organizations, they're goals and the policies that have surfaced from their efforts. Just the way they like it. Can ya say Baaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaahaaa when you're finished swallowing your Kool-Aid?

[drgorman]

Tell me, why do you not believe in freedom? Why do you want my rights to play video games, watch TV, or read newspapers to be taken away?

[CascaMMA]

"Tell me, why do you not believe in freedom? Why do you want my rights to play video games, watch TV, or read newspapers to be taken away?"

Huh? Addressing me with this? That's the problem you your type. Insinuate that I have written something I havent. Refuse to research examples provided as proof of a comment. Lazy. Have fun!

[drgorman]

It's called subliminal. It's a word you conspiracy theorists love to toss around. You are subliminally calling for all the stuff I mentioned and many more banned.

[CascaMMA]

"The CFR is the American Branch of a society which originated in England, and which believes that national boundaries should be obliterated, and a one-world rule established."

Rear Admiral Chester Ward, a former member of the Cfr for 16 years, warned the American people of the organizations intentions:

[drgorman]

And where is that quote sourced? I looked it up verbatim the way you wrote and there is no account of it being in a book, interview or anywhere else.

[CascaMMA]

"And where is that quote sourced?"

A July, 1958 Harper's magazine article

Are you trying to convince me that the goal behind the CFR is not total globalization? Can you not research that they do not hide that fact. It is not a theory. Cronkite was a member that is quoted supporting the ideology.

This argument is ridiculous. Like I said. Go learn some history. Not the word of some "conspiracy nut." Start with simple US foreign Affairs.

BTW - you can have your video games etc :)

[CascaMMA]

"The most powerful clique in these elitist groups have one objective in common — they want to bring about the surrender of the sovereingty of the national independence of the United States. A second clique of international members in the CFR comprises the Wall Street international bankers and their key agents. Primarily, they want the world banking monopoly from whatever power ends up in the control of global government."

Catch up

[CascaMMA]

Unfortunately, the Council on Foreign Relations is not the only group proposing an end to the sovereignty of the United States. In 1973, The Trilateral Commission was founded to work for the same goal: a one-world government.

Go look up Edward Mandell House and get back to us with a bit of knowledge on the subject.

[drgorman]

You are familiar only with no-context quotes and fiction.

You haven't provided anything. Where does he say "I support the NWO" So he receieves an award and just says the world can work better with a more succinct world government.You know what it means? Nothing. You make the organization out to be the most powerful organization in the world, yet what have they done to change policy in the world. I know the answer: Nothing.Again, I ask why do you have a "guilty until proven innocent mentality?"

[CascaMMA]

I've not done that. It is the CFR. IT does what it does. YOu got your evidence. You don't like it. Fine.

Learn about the CFR. You're ignorant. It shows. I gave you the web site. Start there dummy.

[drgorman]

You haven't shown where the CFR wants to take my freedoms away. It's you who wants to do that. I have debated people at Prison Planet and just like you, they want sports, TV, newspapers, video games, books, and anything they don't like banned. It's really sick and demented that you conpiracy theorists want to take the rights of others away. I'd like to see you honestly try.

[CascaMMA]

You're crazy! I've got nothing to do with banning anything. Goof! I've not said anything of the sort. Your social paranoia is surfacing.

What happened to all the manufacturing in the US? Not that it effected you.

[drgorman]

You support a group of conspiracy theorists who do. I don't see what your question has to do with anything. My use of the word "subliminal" is used to illustrate the idiotic arguments of conspiracy theorists. They will point to anything on TV, newspapers, movies, and other forms of media as having ill subliminal messages. When I use that argument against CTers, they deny subliminal messaging. Hypocrisy.

[CascaMMA]

And btw - I belong tp no group therefore I support no one. You just have to stop generalizing. It really delegitimizes your point. But whatever

[drgorman]

My hypocrisy meter just exploded. It's okay for you to generalize about the CFR and people who support globalization, but I dare not do it. By the way, you still haven't proved anything yet. People are entitled to have believes that are different than yours. Some support a more connected world, others don't. However, you believe anyone who supports a more global world is evil.

[CascaMMA]

No, you attributed another sites discussion as me thinking in the identical way. Which is false.

And yes Cronkite's membership in Bilderberg and the Council for Foreign Relations certainly entitles him to his opinion/agenda regarding one world government ruled by non elected bankers. Which is what they are. What I think you called "more connected world."

And my point that you have now conceded is true. CFR and Bilderberg are NWO groups he belonged. And yes, I do not agree with it all.

[drgorman]

Conspiracy theorists have similar beliefs. Again I will ask, why is it okay for you to bunch the CFR and globalization people, but I can't do that for CT? That is hypocrisy on your part.

[CascaMMA]

"to avoid the eventual catastrophic world conflict we must strengthen the United Nations as a first step toward a world government "

Nah, you're right. That doesn't sound like a New World Order comment. Oooops! I meant "Globalization" The new term for the same result.

[drgorman]

I am right it doesn't. You didn't provide the context he was saying it under.

[CascaMMA]

Even if you dont believe in "conspiracy theories" regarding CFR, Bilderberg, or The Trilateral Comission......there is no disputing that these are some of the most powerful people in the world who are affecting the course of the US as non elected officials. Towards a New World Order. Still don't understand? Then news:google NWO in the past year and see who is speaking about it.

Yes, Walter Cronkite was an elitist belonging to these groups. It is not debatable.

[drgorman]

Yes it is debatable. Here is another part of the hypocrisy. Why I should trust google considering Eric Schmitt, the CEO is part of Obama's admin. Hm? It's simple jealousy. You hate people with power.

[KLanz123]

Cronkite was not alone. A great, disparate group of intelligent people were members of the CFR, including Dick Cheney, Dianne Feinstein and John McCain. These are all people I've disagreed with, but respect immensely. OK, so Uncle Walter was apparently on your "enemies list". I think that says more about you than it does about him. It sounds like you're drinking your own brand of Kool-Aid.

[CascaMMA]

Please re-read my comments and refrain from grouping me into any other group that fits your vision. Here is my original comment then you can see and that it was elaborated on only after being challenged. I have no "enemy" list. And yes I totally understand the why's. who's and what that are involved with a "globalized" philosophy. That's why I made my initial comment

[KLanz123]

You are correct. I only read your most recent responses. Going through the entire thread, your adversary was clearly more hysterical than you. I would disagree with you on the "elitist" tag, and on the notion that Cronkite himself supported Eugenics. One has to make a number of assumptions to make that case.

[AlexRocks888]

I would in now way consider any of my response to resemble "hysterical" but that can be subjective. Thanks for acknowledging that at least it was the challenge to my statement that continued the exchange.

Bilderberg only consists of "elitists" period. I'll agree it might be a stretch to lump Cronkite in with the super "eugenicists" of the world, but the Hon Chair of the CFR is King eugenics. CFR is well known for proposals dealing in eugenic policies. So, all I have is that. So far ;)

[CascaMMA]

...sorry bout that - traveling. Borrowed computer and did not realize I had turned into awesome AlexRocks888.

So refer to to his comment as mine today

[CascaMMA]

Cronkite was a classic. Unfortunately he turned into a new world order elitist ,CFR and Bilderburg member supporting eugenic philosophies. He had a terrific career.

R.I.P. Mr Cronkite
