It’s not clear what Murdoch was referencing when he claimed that the sitting president “made a very racist comment…about, you know, blacks and whites and so on.”

I would assume that it was Obama’s reaction to the whole Cambridge police incident. Obama came out, and threw the PD and the officer under the bus, injecting himself into the debate, and seemingly taking sides with the black professor, who had immediately claimed racism as the reason behind his arrest. The professor’s knee-jerk reaction WAS racist (IMO, ascribing race as a rational when there’s no evidence of that, is itself racist)… and Pres Obama’s response seemed to take sides.

If I had to guess, that’s what he was talking about. Of course, this should be easy enough to figure out. Murdoch was commenting on Beck’s quote… find the transcript from the show where Beck made his comments, and there you have it.

Worst Person in the World? This will probably be worth an hour long “Speshul Komment” on Kneeldown with Keith Olbermann!

The first thing that came to my mind was during his speech about race he called his granny “a typical white person”. Sounds pretty racist to me.

I think that Murdoch is saying is that he supports the mostly white, dumb ass tea baggers, 912ers, birthers and the other nut jobs that the nut job Glenn Beck supports. But then again who knows, the guy mumbles.

This is great. I love how conservatives jump down liberals throats for pulling the race card anytime Beck or Limbaugh says something… racist. Yet, when it comes to the president — boom! They bring out the race card. Ooooooohhhhhh Double standard…. bum bum bum bum… oooohhhhhhhhhhhh double standard! Nice job fellas. I’ll remember that this the next time you stand up for Beck/Limbaugh. You guys owe me one!

It certainly doesn’t look like Murdoch knows what the hell he’s talking about.

Ironic that Fox News has so many pundits and personalities who say America is the best and is the greatest country in the world – yet all of their paychecks come from an Australian.

Kind of like NBC,,, err GE, is condeming the building of nuclear weapons by Iran, yet they are selling Iran the materials to build the nuclear weapons?

It’s called capitalism, learn it.

Murdoch has been an American citizen for a long time now. Interesting… as soon as someone becomes a “conservative,” the left becomes awfully xenaphobic.

BTW, M… what do you think about marathon runners?

>Kind of like NBC,,, err GE, is condeming the building of nuclear weapons by Iran, yet they are selling Iran the materials to build the nuclear weapons?

Kinda like how News Corp supports the communist one-party state China. Developed websites for the state’s own propaganda outlets. Banning media that the state doesn’t like. Actively censoring political messages or news the state doesn’t like.

>Murdoch has been an American citizen for a long time now.

Just be able to own more media. Hardly to wave the flag. He supports the Chinese government in censorship and suppression of free speech. Are those American values?

>Interesting… as soon as someone becomes a “conservative,” the left becomes awfully xenaphobic.

Interesting, you do sweeping mischaracterizations and generalizations over an entire group of people from one comment on the internet.

>It’s called capitalism, learn it.

Have fun defending a guy who supports (and actively involves and buddies himself with) a government that performs forced abortions on women, humilities, tortures and executes its own citizens, doesn’t allow freedom of speech, expression or religion.

God Love Rupert. On every media platform he pi**es on wing-tipped loafers including Obama. FNC rules cable TV, the WSJ is gaining readers while N ews Corp readies on-line subscription rates while discharging Google searches, his tabloids rule the street and his radio brand is making a mark. Not to mention his Fox Entertainment Network and it’s many successful local stations or his foreign holdings. This Aussie is a true American hero who gives clear and unwavering voice to American patriot’s who might otherwise have none. Well done, Mr. Murdoch, very well done.

@m

Let me clarify: for everyone on the right someone brings up, you can legitimately bring up someone on the left that supports China, Chavez, Castro, or Iran.

Do I agree with Murdoch’s involvement with China? Of course not, but he also doesn’t dictate the way the country is run (he only provides the technology, should we boycott Microsoft because their software is on Chinese computers?). Do I agree with GE’s involvement with Iran? No, and they continue to directly provide the materials to Iran for them to become a threat, and that is a huge difference than Murdoch. If I boycott everyone I don’t agree with, then it would be a very boring life (no more Family Guy, NFL, Chuck, etc.).

Part of thinking for myself, is accepting others’ views in-step. If I agree, then great, if not then acknowledge that the view they have is different than mine and then move on.

Wow, 4 hours later and still no article on Chris Matthews asking if it was a crime to try repeatedly to “contact al Queda”? Mediaite, your bias is showing…

GLENN BECK WAS RIGHT ABOUT BARACK OBAMA!!

Muhammadan or Racist? Or both?
ATLAS SHRUGGED

Obama on Major Muslim, Born in Virginia, sent to medical school by the U.S. Army, the psychiatrist was disciplined for proselytizing to his patients about Islam. Asked his nationality, he didn’t identify himself as an American but as a Palestinian. He spoke approvingly of the shooting death of a Little Rock Army recruiter in June and reportedly was heard saying “maybe people should strap bombs on themselves and go to Times Square.”He screamed allah akbar before he mowed down scores of patriotic Americans and gave away Qurans with his business card before his act of jihad. He gave his landlord two weeks notice …………

Obama says don’t jump to conclusions on shooting

“We don’t know all the answers yet. And I would caution against jumping to conclusions until we have all the facts,” Obama said in a Rose Garden statement…”

Obama’s rush to judgement of a white cop doing his job:

“But I think it’s fair to say, No. 1, any of us would be pretty angry; No. 2, that the Cambridge police acted stupidly in arresting somebody when there was already proof that they were in their own home; and, No. 3 … that there’s a long history in this country of African-Americans and Latinos being stopped by law enforcement disproportionately.”
The incident, Obama said, shows “how race remains a factor in this society.”

So long as Murdoch is in charge of News Corp and Ailes is in charge of Fox,  Fox is a propaganda outfit that is worthy of a wide spread advertiser boycott.

Murdoch’s troubles are karmic backlash: the bastard has it coming for backing Beck for 30 months.
