Read up on how Cronkite lied about what he saw during and after the Tet Offensive in 1968.
I remember that quite well. The sonovabitch worked overtime to subvert and sabotage our efforts with great effect.
PING
8) Teddy Kennedy – Most folks remember Teddy as the guy who left Mary Joe Kopechne to die in his car at Chappaquiddick.
The real damage was the 1965 Hart-Cellar immigration bill he pushed hard for that changed the quota system to increase the flow of third world people without skills into the US and essentially ended large-scale immigration from Europe.
I don’t have to. I entered college in 1971 and the anti-war movement was still on the rise. It was the forced draft and all the damage done to American families that fueled the radical left. Trust me, it was more the fear of being forced to go to a foreign jungle to fight for what no one could properly justify that turned us against the war and I don’t recall anyone even mentioning Walter Cronkite. I ask you: had we won, what would we have gained, and would it have been worth it?
James Buchannan ... before some big war in America ...
Ulysses S. Grant ... after some big war in America.
Good list, although, personally, I’d put BHO at Humber One.
Along with what the author mentions re Kerry, here is an America-hating creep who dishonored himself and pottied on Vets and those serving by throwing his (unearned, we know that) medals away in a shameful public spectacle.
THEN, he STEALS HONOR by lying about being in a black ops mission.
IIRC, Mister Kerry has never released the full and complete documentation of his discharge from the Navy,
Elsewhere on the list, one suspects that Bill Ayers just might be quite active as a behind-the-scenes player in lefty (perhaps Dem?) politics. One observes that once Mister Obama was handed the presidency, all kinds of well organized demos with shadowy origins just kept springing up. No proof, of course. This is just my suspicion, and welcome to it.
Elsewhere on the list, celebrated, America-hating, and conscienceless traitor Jane Fonda absolutely needs to be somewhere represented. How about joining Walter Cronkite for seventh spot?
That should have put Woodrow Wilson in the top 10. BTW the only president to hold a PHD. That may tell you something. Thomas Sowell has a lot to say about the damage over-educated fools can do to society.
Not even close - with a bit of history - the most destructive authority types
#10 Woodrow Wilson - The Fed; The draft; The pre-UN and also a colossal failure - the League of Nations; invaded Mexico and almost started another war in our backyear, started the income tax...I could go on, just look at his bio sometime - this guy was a one-man ‘Progressive” (Socialist) nightmare.
In addition to all this, he brought Jim Crow to the Federal Govt....IOW the guy was an up-front racist of the first stripe and a Democrat.
#9 Jimmy Cater - Department of “Education” if I write any more, I’ll just get sick
#8 - J Edgar Hoover. Even now dead (praise the Lord) his shenanigans still plague the Nation
#7 - Nixon - started EPA, signed Clean Water Act, Endangered Species Act, Started Dept of Energy, started SSI payments and the open looting of Social Security.
heck, I’ll go right to the the top three
#3 JFK - started the war in SEA, almost started a war over Cuba and damn near started WWIII. All of which resonate to today.
#2 - Obama - take your pick, with the help of Congressional Democrats, damn near wreaked the country... Messed up the economy, massive new debit, and on and on.
#1 - L. B. Johnson, who was, near as I can tell, a real johnson. Great Society, Medicare, and all manner of Socialist claptrap that still drags at the Nation.
These are people that made changes to the way the US had been working - by direct action (signing a law, etc) or indirectly by establishing more Federal control, programs and Regulation that still is in force today...and being abused by those in power today///
Hugh Hefner. How many were sucking into the Playboy philosophy?
They probably would have “sanctioned” him if he was available. In sick bay getting rice and eggshell fragments out of his rear.
1) John Kerry – Some readers will likely say Kerry does not deserve to be number one on this list. I have him here because I regard him as the most despicable American who ever lived.
Worse than Benedict Arnold?
Worse than John Wilke Booth?
Worse than the Rosenbergs?
Anyway, he’s sure in good alike company...in addition to being a complete horse’s ass.
Cronkite was a tireless cheerleader for the North Vietnamese army, especially during the Tet offensive. Thousands of decent young Americans, including some of my upper classmates, lie mouldering in their graves due to Cronkite’s tireless propagandizing.
L. B. Johnson, who was, near as I can tell, a real johnson.
Not to mention his statement when signing the 1964 Civil Rights Act...
“This will keep the (N word) voting for us for 200 years”. Classy guy. Not.
Where do you think they would be had there never been a Walter Cronkite? I think you can make a case that they died in vain because of Cronkite but not that their fates would have been any different.
John Brennan –Obama’s CIA director who once voted for Communist Gus Hall for president. A key member of the Deep State who severely politicized the CIA. Called President Trump treasonous for meeting with the president of Russia.
Lots of communists on the list... and not the 'kids who are infatuated with radicalism type' but real deep thug communists.
Where is Lyndon Johnson on that list? He gave us an expanded out-of control, micromanaged, Vietnam War, which distorted foreign policy for decades, and The Great Society, the mother of all entitlement programs crushing us even to this day.
Yep. My list hit 20 before I even got into stride.
Traitors: Kerry, Aldrich Ames, John Walker, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, Robert Hanssen, Alger Hiss.
Politicians: Teddy Kennedy stands on his own (he gave us Kerry, to boot). 0bama, certainly, who brought back racist chic. LBJ, Hillary, who used her office for personal enrichment by selling out entire countries.
Academics: Howard Zinn, Cornel West, Margaret Sanger, William Ayers, possibly Edward Said and Noam Chomsky for dishonorable mention
As soon as I write them down more pop up. So does my blood pressure.
There are so many each seemingly outdoing the other for rottenness. Where do you start?
LBJ for Vietnam and the GCA of 1968. Lincoln for the Civil War deaths.
