WALTER CRONKITE DEAD AT 92

Obit Cronkite Walter Cronkite, once known as the “most trusted man in America,” is dead at 92. He passed away at a time of tremendous changes in the media, particularly at his beloved CBS. As he would say, “That’s the way it is.”

Cronkite was the gold standard of the “old guard” — serious journalists who lead the networks during their most transformative and influential period. Yet, he also became one of the first celebrity journalists — a trend that would turn news into a personality driven industry (as vividly shown by his friend and contemporary Barbara Walters). Cronkite’s celebrity and iconic status, however, was not so troubling because he was a serious and honorable newsman. He offered a sober and unbiased look at the news and world leaders. He was recruited in 1950 by the other great icon of his generation: Edward R. Murrow

Couric’s celebrity status, however, never translated into ratings for the Tiffany Network and she has racked up some of the worst ratings in the history of the network.

He reportedly died from cerebrovascular disease and complications from dementia.

    Oh Jason my boy, you crack me up. You should take your show out of the Krakow ghetto and hit the road.

    You know of course I do not believe that you love those people you named.

    Why don’t you get the book called You Gentiles. It’ll give you some pointers on the proper way to hate Gentile.

    Sig Heil, der fuhrer. Sounds so much like the GOP party line. Point out the differences, capitalize on perceived defect, utilize that defect to your advantage and then tell them how you are better.

    I like what a lot of folks have had to say. It is had to defend stupidity in any form. and BKT, TBK or however you purrfur to be called.

    The next time you get sick and need to go to the doctor make sure you go to the person you are getting your information from. The medical community is compromised of a lot of high trained individuals. Would you believe that about 78 percent (read this some place) of the medical treatments that are in practice today were created by Jewish folks.

    I bet you did not know that Hitler or his minions kept some jews around to perfect medical techniques that were vital to his war efforts.

    So the next time you go to the Doctor tell them that you want nothing to do with penicillin. That they are to use a DNR if any device that is used was created by a person of jewish origin. Make your point, put it out.

    I cannot tell if you are part of the problem or solution. You most certainly are the solution to your problem.

    One of the Ironies of Hitler he perceived, white, blond hair and blue eyes as the ultimate Master Race and all others must die. Where would you have fit in?

  3. You know I really love me some Palestinians
    A mighty love as for the Jews
    and I cannot get enough of those Arabs
    and of course all Persians are faboo

    Black people = sexy
    Amerindians are the bomb
    Hispanics are perhaps the greatest, as
    There are so many sub-types to love

    But let’s not hesitate to give credit where its due
    Truth be known, the only thing I hate is you.

  4. TBK,
    If I recall, this thread was about the legendary TV news anchor Walter Cronkite passing away. In your mind that is an excuse to ramble on about the evils of being Jewish. I grew up in Skokie and lived amongst and worked with several survivors of your friends camps and yet you ramble on about alleged Jewish atrocities. You have called people Jews, Jew lovers, Zionists among a few of your labels, but you still have not remarked about the passing of an American institution except to say he allegedly didn’t tell the American public about an alleged Jewish atrocity. It is time now for you to follow the lead of some of your role models. You can use your well educated brain to figure out which role models I am talking about.

  5. Don’t be a hypocrite. When you compare someone to something you are in fact calling him that. At least have the integrity to say what you mean. I compare jews to demons because I believe they are the most evil and comtemptible creatures in the world.

  6. tbk:

    “Calling me a dirty diaper. How brilliant and chosen of you.”

    **************

    I didn’t call you a dirty diaper; I likened you to one. A dirty diaper, you see, at least served some useful purpose at one time. Based on what I have here, I can’t say the same for you.

  7. you are all pathetic. And I thought jews believed in freedon of speech.
    Malcolm X was right about you people. You want to bad mouth everybody but when someone says the truth about you, you just want to shut him up.

    I guess that I have given you pathetics enough to ponder.

    Parting Shot:

    Jews are so racist that they even get buried in a jewish cemetary. Now that’s sick.

  8. Off Topic re: mods to the site.

    If Word Press doesn’t have a ‘lock-out’ function based on name or URL the Professor might want to find a template that does ie: TBK and that ilk. Just say’n.

  9. BTK:

    you are a sad nut job, sitting out there in your crazy land weaving conspiracy theories.

    Anyway I have got news for you all races think their culture is the best and brightest.

    You been having carnal knowledge of moonpies again down there in Alabama or Texas or maybe up there in Idaho licking frogs?

    Your rapier like intellect has cut the Jewish race down to size and exposed them, so now just go away. Your work is done here.

  10. correction: I still have not heard one thing, not a one, concerningjews killing gentiles.

    You dudes love everybody so much because you are the jews.
    Calling me a dirty diaper. How brilliant and chosen of you.

  11. You guys crack me up.

    I still have not heard a comment on the Talmud saying jews can kill entiles.C’mon boys!!

    Where is your intellectual integrity?

    Levy was a pure jew…

  12. BTK:

    I think the statement from Levy clearly shows that he is Marxist first and foremost masquerading as a Jew.

    You are a cartoon, a David Duke wannabe or maybe a Klansman or a skinhead suck-up. You don’t even have original material or original thoughts, you are like Mespos proverbial diaper- full of sh**.

    I hope you are not an American. I see you as some crazed Arab or a big fat white guy named Bubba with a pickup truck and an ugly fat wife and a hound dog named Ole Blu. Or possibly one of Loopy Louis’s boys. Which is it?

  13. Awww rabbi!!!
    Here’s a quote for you”

    “The Jewish people as a whole will become its own Messiah. It will attain world dominion by the dissolution of other races, by the abolition of frontiers, the annihilation of monarchy and by the establishment of a world republic in which the Jews will everywhere exercise the privilege of citizenship.

    In this New World Order the children of Israel will furnish all the leaders without encountering opposition. The Governments of the different peoples forming the world republic will fall without difficulty into the hands of the Jews. It will then be possible for the Jewish rulers to abolish private property and everywhere to make use of the resources of the state. Thus will the promise of the Talmud be fulfilled, in which is said that when the Messianic time is come, the Jews will have all the property of the whole world in their hands.”

    — Baruch Levy, Letter to Karl Marx, ‘La Revue de Paris’, p.574, June 1, 1928

  14. Why did you not comment on the Talmudic quote?

    Too deep for you?

    If Hitler really said those things then he was an SOB.

    But what say you of jews killing gentiles and getting away with it?
    I know that you agree with it.

  15. TBK:

    We are the joyous Hitler youth,
    We do not need any Christian virtue
    Our leader is our savior
    The Pope and Rabbi shall be gone
    We want to be pagans once again.”

    – Song sung by Hitler youth

    “They refer to me as an uneducated barbarian. Yes, we are barbarians. We want to be barbarians, it is an honored title to us. We shall rejuvenate the world. This world is near its end.”

    – Rauschning, Hitler Speaks, p. 87

  16. How many jews do you know love Arabs and Palestinians? ust bwcause some jew made that statement you expect me to accept it? Typical arrogance of your kind.
    Irrational? Try this one:

    “If a Jew kills a gentile, the Jew is to go free.”
    –Babylonian Talmud: Sanhedrin 57a

  17. TBK:

    “Mespo
    Jewservant
    rafflaw

    How come you racist jews have not refuted one thing I have said?”

    *************

    Your screeching irrationality and downright meanspiritedness do it for us, and, quite frankly, I see no obligation to divorce you from your hatred since it seems to always consume the hater.

    “The remarkable thing is that we really love our neighbor as ourselves: we do unto others as we do unto ourselves. We hate others when we hate ourselves. We are tolerant toward others when we tolerate ourselves. We forgive others when we forgive ourselves. We are prone to sacrifice others when we are ready to sacrifice ourselves.”

    –Eric Hofer (Jewish American philosopher, 1902-1983 (isn’t the irony delicious))

  18. Mespo
    Jewservant
    rafflaw

    How come you racist jews have not refuted one thing I have said?
    Since you are all so certain that I am just a liar why don’t you prove it? I wonder how you bastions of free speech and brotherly love feel about blacks, Hispanics and Arabs.

    An aside:

    I am not surprised at all that Cronkite was part of Bohemaian Grove. No wonder he was the favorite of the jew press. The so-called free press started this propaganda that Cronkite was “the most trusted man in America’.

  19. Why does everyone celebrate this guy? He was a Bohemian Grover and advocated a one world government. He accepted an award back in 1998 or 1999 from the World Federalist Association–and organization that strives for a one world government—-and guess who sent him a “congrats” by way of video in this clip? Hillary Clinton! Heres the clip:
