Cronkite sees Rovian plot behind OBL Tape |
2004-10-30 |
EFL LARRY KING, HOST: Tonight, four days before America votes in the first election since 9/11, a new Osama bin Laden tape addressing the American people and naming both President Bush and John Kerry. How will this affect the race? We'll ask a living legend of broadcast journalism, Walter Cronkite, the former CBS News anchor. ... (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)I used to think a lot of him, but these comments and others he has spouted over the last few years make me wonder what Uncle Walter's real motivations were in 1968. |

#14 This is sad... you know, he used to be a respected journalist. Shouldn't there be someone with a shepherd's crook, hanging about in the wings, to haul these goofs offstage when they begin to disgrace themselves and their profession? |

#11 Plus the fact that we have a preface to this in the last campaign. What year was that now? KING: 2000. CRONKITE: 2000. Thank you very much. Do you think he really needs to draw a clock? |

#10 Karl Rove set up Binny....haaahahahahahahaaaahaaa.....someone ask Cronkite to draw a clock on a piece of paper, just to see if he's in the beginning stages of developing Alzheimer's. |

#8 It should be Walter Krankheit, which means sickness in German. |

#7 Maybe he could share a double with his buddy, Yassir. |

#6 Arafat isn't the only one exhibiting signs of dementia. Time to move WC to an assisted living facility. |

#5 the only soul they had they had has already sold, to the first cow-headed pinko commie socialist fascist anything but Bush. The 3/4 of real Americans left in this country can still win the war for the rest of the world, incuding the anti-american amerikan sheeple. |

#4 "And to think we as a nation trusted this fellow who just PROVED that MSM has been baised all along. Cronkheit is a proven CRANK now." As far as I'm concerned, Cronkhite was proven a crank a long, LONG time ago. I'm 55 years old, and when I last trusted "Uncle Walter" I was measuring my age in single digits. I had him pegged as a pompous, self-important blowhard back in the early 60's, and by 1968 a TREASONOUS, pompous, self-important blowhard. Dan Rather's dishonesty is just a minor extrapolation from Cronkhite's. |

#3 Up until now, I have almost always voted Democrat. My boyfriend, therefore, thinks my current fixation on liberal nuttiness is a bit weird. I read him this bit from the Cronkite interview: It seemed almost, to me, that [Bin Laden] wanted to enter into negotiations, that he was really up -- he wants to move into a leadership role in international affairs instead of the role of a brigand. His reaction: That's nuts. I told him, they're all nuts. The Democrats [and their media and academic pals] have gone completely nuts. That's what I've been flippin' on about all these months. |

#2 And to think we as a nation trusted this fellow who just PROVED that MSM has been baised all along. Cronkheit is a proven CRANK now. NOW we know why he spoke out against the Vietnam war - by pretending to be unbiased and objective, his viewpoints carried a lot of weight - which he abused. Cronkheit may you rot in hell for the souls you caused to die in Camobdia and Vietnam with your traitorous acts. |

#1 The MSM (and that includes Larry King) let the leftist clowns get away with the most outrageous stuff imaginable. If a Republican had said the same thing about McAwful & sKerry, King would have been all over him. Instead he let Crankcase's egregious LIE slide - meaning he agrees with it. Not being Christian, I don't believe in Hell, but I've changed my mind - I do think there's a special Hell reserved just for these wankers. May they burn for all eternity - or better yet, may they be completely without any power whatsoever for all eternity, which would probably be more painful for them. @$!#%*! |
