Buh-Bye, Walter Cronkite: He Lost the Vietnam War for U.S. on TV, Had American Blood on His Hands

I just heard the news that former CBS anchorman Walter Cronkite died. And perhaps I will be one of the few with the guts to be real and say it: I'm not sad to see this overrated liar go. Buh-bye.

Cronkite enjoyed a long and glamorous life, unlike many of our late teen and 20-something American troops against whom he editorialized on a nightly basis. They died on the killing fields of Vietnam in no small part because he contributed to the video demoralization of America and the resulting lack of commitment to help our boys win the Vietnam War.

I'm sure that Cronkite will be remembered gushingly by all of the liberal mainstream media robots whom he spawned and who idolize him (and probably many gutless idiots on the right, too). In so many ways, he is their Michael Jackson, minus the creativity and talent. In life, they already exalted Cronkite far, far beyond what he deserved and completely ignored his awful transgressions against our country.

Walter Cronkite Defeated America on TV But the man they called "The Most Trusted Man in America" was really something far different: The Most Destructive Man in America. And that is how he should be remembered. He had the blood of thousands of American men--some of them really just boys--on his hands.

I think JOhnson was right - Cronkite could influence America to turn against the war effort. Do I think Johnson fought that war to win? No way.

She expressed my feelings exactly for that anti-American socialist bastard. I was there during TET '68 and my family were wrecks worrying for my well being because of his reporting.

They were amazed to hear from me of the super ass kicking we gave Charlie. (was going to use a more colorful term, but thought better of it) Too many Americans to this day don't really know how bad we hurt them.

With no disrespect intended:

We got our POWS back and we left. Nixon backed out of his promise of money to NVN, so they kept the remaining POWs.

Thank you for providing the detail regarding what I merely sketched.

My wife had relatives on both sides of that war, and Cronkite and the entire anti-war left is directly responsible for prolonging the bloodshed and for the ultimate destruction of a country that was becoming another Asian Tiger - not that they care.

So, why were we involved so deeply? What was Johnson and his left-wing lackys’ end game? WEre they trying to break the American will and bank simultaneously.

If he is buried in Houston, where he was born, I’m sure my dad will be arrested for dancing on his grave. Dad never forgave him for Viet Nam.

He was a traitor - pure and simple.

I wouldn't want to be him standing before the ultimate judge covered in blood. Not the blood of the Redeemer, but the blood of the brave defenders of a nation blessed by God, shed needlessly because his arrogant hatred of our blessed nation.
