"Reagan was an exceedingly likeable guy, just a heck of a nice fellow, despite his politics. He was funny and loved a good joke, the dirtier, I'm afraid the more ethnic, the better. I don't think he brought very much to the presidency, except charisma and success."
Walter Cronkite on the Discovery Channel's Cronkite Remembers, May 23, 1996.

Cronkite was a thinly-disguised moonbat. This is the kind of language that betrays a moonbat heart, but sadly, while it comes from their heart, it goes over their head.

Cronkite said Reagan was... "A nice fellow despite his politics..." So Cronkite discrminated by virture of his liberal politics. Despite being a conservative, Reagan was a nice fellow. So who is going to claim Cronkite reported from a subjective point of view?

And then this is just pure moonbattery: "I don't think he brought much to the presidency except charisma and success."

Success is just fine with me, Walter! In fact, I feel anyone who brought success to the presidency is great. And so should have Walter Cronkite felt!  

We can treasure Walter Cronkite as war-time reporter and a long-time anchor man many of us grew up with. But let's not be afraid to admit what he was: A big time liberal with his hands on the throat of the United States media.

Cronkite happened to be right.  I guess we could now equate "moonbattery" with "accuracy"?  Works for me.

[p.s.  ..  you idiots have been riding the "Reagan Express" for 29 years, I suggest you get off and smell the coffee]

Success is just fine with me, Walter! In fact, I feel anyone who brought success to the presidency is great.

I think the measure of that success is in how you achieve it, Reagan was one of those the ends justify the means types, and he damned sure used some very questionable means to achieve some very short termed success.  Some of those successes don't look so good now, do they?

I really think that if jesus christ came down and got popular, you people would call him a moonbat and communist.  Come on moniker that's beneath you and you know it.   You really disappoint me. For god's sake, who do you think is more unbiased, hannity, o'reily, limbaugh?  This fucking shit has to stop.

This fucking shit has to stop.  

IMO. When one thrives on said "fucking shit," as so many hannity, o'reily & limbaugh fanatics do.... it is difficult to imagine the above mentioned "fucking shit" every stopping.
