A freep cries: "I regret that we did not have Fox News then to balance out the SHIT that he said..."

[Mrs. Overall]

I regret that I did not write to him and tell him how MUCH I resent his LYING when reporting on the Vietnam War. He impacted my thinking as a very young teenager and I regret that we did not have Fox News then to balance out the SHIT that he said....I NEVER ONCE KNEW that we won EVERY SINGLE BATTLE THERE. I only knew about failure and body bags.

I NOW know that WE the people CAUSED the deaths of millions in South Vietnam and Cambodia because of the FRIGGIN LIBERAL PRESS LYING to US about the WAR.

We could have won the war and brought FREEDOM to a wonderful people.

WAAAAAHHHHH!

What jerks.

[azmouse]

1. Freepers are mental cases. They need help.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. Retroactive freeping?

Good grief, these assweasels are pissing on Walter Cronkite's grave on account of Vietnam??

:puke:

[Mrs. Overall]

7. The thread on Cronkite over there is filled with venom and hate because of his stance on Vietnam

and because he was apparently an atheist.

They are saying absolutely horrible things.

[lbrtbell]

20. I knew they would

Believe it or not, one of them actually compared CBS and Walter Cronkite to "MSNBC and Olberman" (sic). How's that for a backhanded compliment? :rofl:

[Deja Q]

3. Aren't people able to defend their own selves? In America, we're supposed to defend ourselves,

pull ourselves up with our own bootstraps, and so on. We do that on our own. How come, Mr. Freepiepants, that everyone else needs our help yet we tell our own we're not allowed help?

Well?

(in short, there's an amusing double-standard amongst freepers... as eloquently described by the one you referenced in your OP.)

[Sebastian Doyle]

4. You should see the shit those mutants are posting on any Cronkite clip over at You Tube

A sickening level of hatred that only Dick Cheney would deserve upon his death.

[Patsy Stone]

5. "inmature"

Another FR classic.

Yes, if only Walter Cronkite wasn't feeding the North Vietnamese all that liberal info in the evening news, the war would have been much easier to win.

[rockymountaindem]

6. This was inevitable. A lot of people view everything through the perspective of Vietnam

I'm not making a value judgment about that because I didn't live through it. But I knew that the Freepers would bring up his opposition to the Vietnam War and blame him for the outcome of that conflict.

[FrenchieCat]

8. Freeps have no place in a room in where Cronkite is being discussed....

period.

[Mrs. Overall]

11. I will not be chastised for posting this. I'm not sure how many Democrats/Progressives realize

the courage it took for Walter Cronkite to report on Vietnam the way he did (with much foresight). The right wing has pounded him over the years for it and the assholes haven't let it go, even though what he said regarding the Vietnam War was absolutely correct.

My brother fought in Vietnam, and my family tuned into Cronkite every night to find out what was REALLY going on over there.

[lbrtbell]

21. Freeps have no place in a room where ANYTHING is being discussed

They're mental midgets whose black hearts can only handle one emotion: hatred.

[Bigmack]

9. I didn't post this in any of the main Cronkite threads...

because I didn't want anything to tarnish the positive comments about Cronkite.

Warning: Freeper spew below.... do not read further if you will be offended.

I know Cronkite was great because I watched him over the years, but I also know it by what his enemies say about him. The freeps blame everything about the Vietnam clusterfuck on him....

From freepland... "For those too young to remember, this POS was ANTI WAR. With men in the field, he was an apologist for the communists. He was giddy after we had left the country in victory and busted out all our POWs but the North Vietnamese communists army invaded after the Democrats cut the money and supplies off to South Viet Nam. He was the first to cry out “ WE LOST THE WAR!!!” He was a traitor. He should have been tried, convicted and executed as such. Go to HELL you bastard."

[marmar]

10. Their proto-fascist, authoritarian nature is showing.

n/t

[Birthmark]

12. I guess the Freeps like to be lied to...even retroactively.

Poor little dears.

[liberalmuse]

13. He/She needs to report to the disintegration chambers immediately.

Jesus, who in the fuck disses Walter Cronkite? What kind of degenerate piece of shit can find anything wrong with his reporting? It was pretty straight forward.

[Mrs. Overall]

16. There are nearly 400 such posts (and many much worse) right now on the FR thread

on Cronkite's death.

I had no idea the extent of their hatred and vitriol.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

23. They hate him for his honesty.

Thugs never could stand to listen to truth.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

19. "What kind of degenerate piece of shit can find anything wrong with his reporting?"

Degenerate pieces of shit = freepers. Cronkite was legendary for his objective reporting. When he said we were losing the Vietnam war, he was stating the raw truth. Sorry, freeper asscarrots, you can't rewrite history. Back to Mom's basement with you.

[Archae]

14. Stay classy, Freakrepublicans.

:grr:

[Swede Atlanta]

15. Scum................

Cronkite was a journalist and news anchor before they became shills for their corporate masters. Any employee of Fox News must undergo a lobotomy so that they can stomach repeating the talking points of the day. Have you noticed the indents in their foreheads?

[Vidar]

17. I wonder how many of them were actually around at the time.

Both my parents were conservative Republicans, as was I for the first 20 years of my life. Cronkite wasn't trusted only by the liberals, but bu 90% of the nation.

[NoPasaran]

18. Human garbage

Could we please just let them go?

[GoddessOfGuinness]

22. So he thinks that winning battles made it right?

Hitler's people won a lot of battles too.

[tabasco]

24. They are beneath contempt.

I realize there are evil and stupid people in the world, but I refuse to waste my energy hating them.
