WALTER CRONKITE IF THERE IS A HELL, YOU BELONG IN IT.

During the Vietnam War, Cronkite was responsible for a massive disinformation campaign to turn America’s victories into defeats (the Tet Offensive) and fabricate out of whole cloth Viet Cong victories that were used to demoralize the American public. He should be remembered as one of the great traitors of American history, right there along with Benedict Arnold.

He was worse than Arnold because he was lying to so many more people. Good riddance to him. He can spend his time now in hell with Robert Strange McNamara.

Walter Cronkite betrayed every one of the 58,000 men who died in Viet Nam. He betrayed every man and woman wounded in Viet Nam. He betrayed every man and woman who served in Viet Nam and he betrayed the people of South Vietnam. He stabbed the Viet Nam vet in the back.

Cronkite went to Hue during Tet '68 fairly late in the battle and saw what he wanted to see, but refused an invitation to see the massacred victims the communists had killed and tossed in a mass grave. He chose the side of the enemy and his reports of lies affected his buddy LBJ in his decision making as well.

When LBJ heard of Cronkite’s comments, he was quoted as saying, “That’s it. If I’ve lost Cronkite, I’ve lost middle America.”

Cronkite was a self-serving bastard.

WALTER COMMIEKITE IF THERE IS A HELL, YOU BELONG IN IT.

I think the guy's nuts.

Screw Lieberman.

He's a modern-day Benedict Arnold and the Dems don't need him.

Thank you David Emerson... Canadian Benedict Arnold Turncoat and famous political coward. Hopefully today is the last day we will ever hear from this loser ever again. I was one of the saps who voted for this lying democracy-denying ass. Sad.

You're right, they are whiny little DINOs for sure. Thanks for the edit.

"Fair enough, and edited, out of respect for my pal Kronos. I will refer to them instead as DINOs Because that's what you are if you claim to be a Democrat, but then have a hissy fit when your pet candidate loses and vote for the person who holds diametrically opposite positions to those you supposedly still support. Because, face it, Obama and Clinton have near identical policy viewpoints."

The one on the left looks like she's reading off a script. They're both traitors and idiots, regardless of gender. Please point out how the Obama campaign has been "incredibly sexist" and how anyone is stealing the nomination from Hillary? PUH-LEEZE. This is just trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill. Just because 2 idiots go on TV saying they're going to do something does not mean any significant number of voters will follow along. As long as they're not brain dead sheep, that is.


Regardless of how you feel about these women, PLEASE don't refer to them as "traitors". I think their reasons are asinine, but the term "traitor" has been so abused over the past 6 years that it hurts my ears to hear it unless we're talking about Benedict Arnold. I like you, Mr. Zombies; you know that. I respect your political opinions more than most, but the term "traitor" should surely be reserved only for those guilty of high treason. If I were a Louisiana Republican I would hate to be called a "traitor" because I refused to vote for David Duke in the '90s. You catch my drift.

Now I know there is a WORLD of difference between endorsing Obama and voting against David Duke. Still, I prefer the label of "traitor" be left at the door before you walk into my house at least, if no one else's.

The official crime of high treason needn't exist because all punishmentworthy instances of it consist of other crimes (murder, espionage, etc). Disloyalty itself shouldn't be considered a crime. Enforcing loyalty on pain of death equals slavery. Slavery to the collective state is still slavery. Anyone in a country has the right to leave that country and find a home elsewhere beyond its legal influence (if we are to maintain any pretense that the assent of the governed in the social contract is not obtained through duress). Benedict Arnold's crime was trying to surrender West Point to the British, not quitting the military and fleeing to England.

In addition to everything Kronosposeidon said, the notion that anything about how one chooses to vote could be considered treason is an anti-democratic meme that has been overplayed in all the pseudodemocratic dictatorships of the world. In Iraq under Saddam, or Russia under Putin, the secret police might have come after you if you campaigned for the "wrong" candidate.
