He gave Bill Clinton a woodie. Doesn't that count for something?

If so, Slick has two. Maybe he is truly an example of the old saying, "Hornier that a two **** billy goat!"

I agree. And it won't bother me if it comes soon.

Not only a traitor, but a stinking communist too.

I did, and thought it was funny. We need MORE health and fitness contests, IMO.

"Mr. Cronkite, journalists are supposed to cover the story, not become the story. Yet, when you mouthed off about the Vietnam War being lost, you became the story. How, then, can you defend that, you billious piece of decrepit commie propaganda?"

Hey, the leftie scum in this country re-write history all the time. They call the USSR's commie dictaotorship "conservative" and the Nazi (Socialist) party "right wing". After Fidel dies, and the extent of his pathetic torture state is revealed, he'll be a GOP operative.

Respected, I suppose. But a leftwing activist nonetheless.

but I heard that Cronkite almost choked when he had to read that the accused assassin had a history of left-wing activities. Does anybody recall this?

I do recall that Dan Rather lied when he reported that a group of school children in Dallas cheered the assassination of President Kennedy.

There's an AOL poll on Cronkite's remarks. Every leftist idiot in America is calling his remarks "highly significant".

"In his prime, he was a very respected journalist back when there was such a thing."

That was in a more innocent time when the public misplaced their trust in Television, and Cronkite in particular.

We will steamroll the lefties in this country so maybe they WILL finally move to Canada and France.

I can tell you first hand that all the black kids in my junior high classroom cheered when Reagan was shot.

Actually I was a journalism major in college during some of his prime time, in the 70s and I had little respect for him. He was famous as the mouth of television news with only Huntley/Brinkley as his competition but he never would have survived the internet blogosphere. I seldom watched Cronkite because his signoff of "And that's the way it is, this ___ day of ________, 19__" used to infuriate me because it sounded so omniscient and pompous.

Worthless traitor who personally helped put a lot of names on the Vietnam memorial wall.
