VIDEO AND AUDIO FEATURING
WALTER CRONKITE:
NOVEMBER 25, 1963:
1983 INTERVIEW:
2004 INTERVIEW:
FROM WIM DANKBAAR'S CONSPIRACY FORUM AT JFKMURDERSOLVED.COM, A KOOK NAMED "ThomZajac"
SPEWED THIS REPULSIVE CRAP ON JULY 18, 2009:
Okay, I tried watching the Cronkite PBS special ["Who Shot President Kennedy?"]. I tried. Cronkite is nothing short of a complete disgrace, working very hard to appear reasonable, open minded, and even handed, when in fact--and there really can be absolutely no denying it--he is doing everything he possibly can to convince the viewer that the lone assassin conclusion was a thoughtful, HONEST, and reasonable one.
Oh, he says, it might be possible that Oswald had an accomplice, but a careful examination of the facts and evidence using all the latest scientific methods makes the lone gunman conclusion even more viable than it was twenty five years ago, blah blah blah blah blah.
I'm surprised that some of your guys are so seduced by spokesman for the CIA. Cronkite was BAD for America. BAD for democracy. He was a BAD man.
FOLLOWED BY THIS FROM ANOTHER KOOK NAMED KEN MURRAY:
Joseph Goebbels would also be proud of one David Von Pein and his spewing propaganda on the JFK assassination.
A KOOK NAMED BOB FOX THEN STEPPED UP TO THE PLATE AND OFFERED UP THESE GEMS:
Von Pein "in the ass" and his ilk are just an extension of the disinformation machine that the MSM uses, both with the way the news is delivered, what news is delivered and when the news is delivered. The disinformation machine also makes sure that some real news is never talked about in the MSM...things like the Bu$h involvement in the assassination of JFK and events like 9/11.
I would bet that less than 10% of the American population know about Operation Northwoods in 1962 (a similar plan to the events of 9/11 hatched by the neocons) or know that Prescott Bu$h was not only a Nazi sympathizer and investor, but also involved in a coup to overthrow FDR.
The Bu$H family and those in the power elite help fund and support cowards like Von Pein, McAdams and Mack to keep people away from the real truth of 11/22/1963 and the REAL recent history in the United States.
DAVID VON PEIN SAID:
When you read silly tripe like the above three messages from Dankbaar's "All Kook Network" [AKN-TV and AKN-Radio], it just makes you feel kinda sick....doesn't it?
I've heard multiple people starting to bad-mouth the late Walter Cronkite, who was unquestionably a very good and decent and HONEST man. The bad-mouthers include our very own alt.assassination.jfk forum member and marathon poster, Anthony Marsh. Marsh said this about the Most Trusted Man In America just 24 hours after Mr. Cronkite's passing (and Marsh didn't even have the decency to spell Mr. Cronkite's name correctly; twice in one post Marsh misspelled it too; probably deliberately, in order to denigrate Walter's memory even more by mangling the spelling of his great name):
"Who was it who said we should not speak ill of the dead? How long should that last? Many of us researchers have always hated Chronkite [sic] for his being a CIA stooge and participating in the cover-up. Dan Rather the same thing."
-- Anthony Marsh; 07/18/09
The above negative comments about Walter Cronkite are beyond pathetic -- they're downright sickening.
Marsh should be ashamed that he allowed those back-stabbing words to slip from his keyboard. But he's not ashamed at all. And neither are Bob and Thom and Ken at Dankbaar's snake pit of crackpottery.
Of course, it's to be pretty much expected that many of the outer-fringe JFK conspiracy theorists almost HAVE to believe that Walter Cronkite (along with Dan Rather, Eric Sevareid, and Eddie Barker of CBS News as well) are devious Government-sponsored shills of some kind.
Because if Cronkite, et al, are NOT the cover-up artists that people like "Thom" and Tony Marsh believe them to be -- then it's very, very likely that those conspiracy theorists' favorite "patsy" for all 11/22/63 murders in Dallas was GUILTY of the two murders he was charged with committing that day in Texas.
And that's true because of the extensive and detailed re-investigation into President Kennedy's assassination that was conducted by the CBS Television Network in 1967 (and, to a somewhat lesser extent, by CBS in 1964 as well).
Every single test and re-examination of evidence that was done by CBS in 1964 and 1967 favors the likelihood of Lee Harvey Oswald being able to perform his evil deed of double-murder -- by himself! -- on November 22nd, 1963. Without a doubt.
So, if Cronkite & Company (including Rather, Sevareid, and Barker, among many others at CBS News in the mid-1960s) were being truthful and above-board with the facts and evidence surrounding JFK's assassination during those lengthy CBS specials that they did in '64 and '67....where does that leave the "Anybody But Oswald" conspiracy nuts?
It leaves them up a tree without a ladder (and without a second gunman on the Grassy Knoll either).
But, as sad as it is, those people who are bashing a very good man like Walter Cronkite are probably PROUD of their hateful words. People like that usually are. And people like that rarely feel themselves getting red in the face after saying something incredibly stupid.
And when it comes to incredibly stupid statements being spoken on the Internet in the last couple of days since the sad news of Mr. Cronkite's death, the one repeated below takes home first prize in the "Most Pathetic & Vomit-Inducing" category:
"Cronkite is nothing short of a complete disgrace. .... Cronkite was BAD for America. BAD for democracy. He was a BAD man."
I feel the urge to slap somebody silly after reading the above garbage. But it wouldn't do any good. Because the person who penned the above junk doesn't have any feelings at all .... so he'd never even feel my backhanded blow to his rotten face.
God bless you, Walter C.
I miss you already.
