Brave Rupert Murdoch Would Like Attention For Calling Obama A Racist


Watch combative, raisin-shaped philosopher-king Rupert Murdoch beg for attention: “[the following was said in an Australian accent, which, according to the Chicago Manual of Style, should be indicated using the 'underline' option]: mumble mumble aye oy yes Glenn Beck was riiiight to call Obama a raycist b’cause sum of the comments Obama mayde were raycist mumble blacks and whites and reds and yellows even though he sayd he wasn’t a raycist.” Yeah it does sound a bit Irish—Wordpress! Anyway the White House will continue to ignore this because there is negative zero reason to do otherwise. [Media Matters]

    Can we deport him now?

    Rupie is just channeling Crocodile Dundee:
    Video of Glenn Bekc pissing himself and crying like a demented retarded baby
    “You call that being partisan?”

    Video of Rupie agreeing with Baby Huey Bekc
    “This is being partisan!”

    Wait. So it was Obama’s NY Post that published the cartoon monkey being plugged by white cops recently? Now I get it.

  4. rocktonsammy says at 9:51 am, November 11th, 2009

    Takes one to know one you PRICK!

  5. CycloneArmageddon says at 9:52 am, November 11th, 2009

    Birdcrash: Oh no. We don’t want him back. Besides, he’s now a US citizen, so sucks to be you.

  6. 4tehlulz says at 9:54 am, November 11th, 2009

    Why does Mr. Murdoch hate America?

  7. I’m pretty sure an Oz accent should be rendered in text with strikethrough.

  8. MLHencken says at 9:57 am, November 11th, 2009

    Here’s some racism: take your kangaroo eating ass back to Australia.

  9. If Glenn Beck represents ‘white culture,’ chalk me up as a racist too.

  10. AggieDemocrat says at 9:58 am, November 11th, 2009

    Birdcrash: Sadly, he’s now an American citizen. I blame George Bush for this.

  11. CycloneArmageddon: Aha! But Lawyer-dentist’s specialty is revoking citizenship! Someone get Taintz on the phone — she has a job to do….

  12. Now, to be fair to Mr. Murdoch, all white Australians are horrible racists; he can’t help it. The rest of the crew at Fox, the Post, the Sun, etc. doesn’t have that excuse, though.

    bitchincamaro: And I’m pretty sure Murdoch initially defended that one, too. Now, the (female latina) Post editor who was fired for criticizing the cartoon is suing for sexual and racial harassment. Who could have suspected that office could be hostile to women and minorities?

  13. CycloneArmageddon says at 10:09 am, November 11th, 2009

    Potater: Anyone but the sea freak. ANYONE BUT THE SEA FREAK.

  14. TimeCubist says at 10:20 am, November 11th, 2009

    Rupert Murdoch is a poisonous troll. Jesus, the harm that man has done to the integrity and civility of democratic institutions in his long trainwreck of a career is incalculable.

    On the other hand, today we are all raisin-shaped philosopher-kings.

  15. gurukalehuru says at 10:22 am, November 11th, 2009

    The world will keep on spinning,
    and the sun continue to rise,
    but the world will be a better place
    when Rupert Murdoch dies

  16. x111e7thst says at 10:22 am, November 11th, 2009

    CycloneArmageddon: He is old. Time to drag his wrinkled ass up in front of a Death Panel.

  17. One Yield Regular says at 10:24 am, November 11th, 2009

    Shouldn’t he be holed up at San Simeon, pining over his childhood sled?

  18. Holy Cow!! says at 10:28 am, November 11th, 2009
  19. Whiskeybaby says at 10:30 am, November 11th, 2009

    What the crikey fuck?

  20. DirtyHarriett says at 10:33 am, November 11th, 2009

    Arrrrrrgh!

  21. finallyhappy says at 10:35 am, November 11th, 2009

    I don’t watch Murdoch either(add him to the list). The media whore to end all media whores. I hope the LHC turns on and sucks him into a black hole.

  22. Monsieur Grumpe says at 10:39 am, November 11th, 2009

    Rupert needs a walkabout in a land with lots of cliffs.

  23. KilgoreTrout_XL says at 10:41 am, November 11th, 2009

    Huh? He must have pooped himself right when he was about to tell us what the racist comment was.

  24. CaiteeCruelle says at 10:41 am, November 11th, 2009

    x111e7thst: I thought he avoided Death Panels by stealing the life-essence of 30-year-olds.

  25. proudgrampa says at 10:42 am, November 11th, 2009

    Rupert is a racist dick.

    Crikey.

    Sure we can’t rescind his citizenship?

  26. QueenOfTheDamned says at 10:50 am, November 11th, 2009

    I feel sure that, like many power-mad males, his lack of soul stems from insecurity about getting a serious drubbing with the ugly stick. Interesting balding pattern, though.

  27. When we gonna finly git a REEL American running our news stations? I’m tard uh dees bejeweled interlopers gettin a peece of paper from the gobment en sayin days Americun!!!!!!!!!

  28. AfghanVet says at 10:53 am, November 11th, 2009

    I can’t wait until he starts charging for Internet access to the likes of the NY Post, Fox News, etc. Hell, the entire demographic that reads the drivel his companies produce, save the WSJ, cannot collectively qualify for the credit card they would need to sign up much less pay the fee for internet press releases, I mean “news”, with pop ads for Viagra and Enzyte…oh, and right wing books.

    Personally, I think he wants to shut down the Internet and papers because they require putting a statement in writing that can be fact-checked and that’s just no good.

  29. That’s really a sticky wickett.

  30. It’s hard to believe that, for his green card application, they successfully demonstrated that we had a labor shortage of vile, racist pig-fukkers in this country.

  31. Birdcrash says at 10:56 am, November 11th, 2009

    CycloneArmageddon:
    We stripped John Demjanjuk of his citizenship. I’d say Rupert is the rough moral equivalent to a concentration camp guard.

  32. MLHencken says at 10:56 am, November 11th, 2009

    Murdoch needs a REAL MERKIN for his pate.

  33. The Bruce leaves kanga-land to get away from the abbos and socialists and to be able to wank his withered donger in peace. One day he wakes up to find a fuzzy in the White House. No wonder he’s gobsmacked.

  34. I wonder what example of racism Murdoch and slug/minion Beck were referring to. Maybe it was that whole “I was black before the election” thing?

  35. thefrontpage says at 11:53 am, November 11th, 2009

    The latest rumors have Murdoch buying The Washington Times from the Moonies.

  36. thefrontpage: Ought to be a merger.

  37. imissopus says at 12:09 pm, November 11th, 2009

    Racism? That’s an odd name for it. I’d have called it digeredoo.

  38. foulmouthed mrscreant says at 1:20 pm, November 11th, 2009

    thefrontpage: R(ascist) S(crotum sucker) McCain hopes he can get is job back.

  39. MLHencken: REAL MERKINS don’t even know what a pate is!

  40. problemwithcaring says at 1:25 pm, November 11th, 2009

    JMP: Not so, says the hot Aussie I hooked up with last weekend ;). Yay for me! (And the brotherhood of mankind and shit.)

  41. marioninnyc says at 1:54 pm, November 11th, 2009

    Birdcrash: I was going to say this, but you got there first.

  42. marioninnyc says at 1:56 pm, November 11th, 2009

    But he never says what “racist” thing it was that Obama allegedly says. Just agrees that Beck was right. Was the interviewer an employee? Amazing that he isn’t called on being completely incoherent.

  43. notwavingbutdrowning says at 1:57 pm, November 11th, 2009

    TGY: Agreed. Or Right-o, matey.

  44. El Pinche says at 2:15 pm, November 11th, 2009

    GET ON THE BALL FOXNEWS, YOURE NOT SMEARING NOBAMA FAST ENOUGH.

    You fail when the old chairman has to leave the compound and do the dirty work!!!

  45. Extemporanus says at 2:38 pm, November 11th, 2009

    You wanna know how you do it, Juli? Here’s how:

    They pull a quote, you pull a paragraph. He gives one of yours an underline, you give one of his a strikethrough. That’s the Chicago Manual, and that’s how you get Murdoch!

    Now, do you want to do that? Are you ready to do that?

  46. AddHomonym says at 3:36 pm, November 11th, 2009

    Who is this Ray Cist and why do we keep talking about him?

  47. Schadenfried says at 3:46 pm, November 11th, 2009

    So… he citizenship can’t be revoked? Sucks to be us indeed.

  48. Numbat Dundee says at 4:24 pm, November 11th, 2009

    notwavingbutdrowning: Fair suck of the Sav yer flaming drongo! “Right o matey”???!!! If your gonna make fun of the Aussia slang at least make your caricature bear some vague resemblance to something one of us might have said once. As for Rupert Murdoch, we’re sorry and all that, but we don’t want him back. We wouldn’t piss on the mongrel if he was on fire.

  49. Daveislikelol says at 12:01 am, November 12th, 2009

    Your accent is just as jarring and occasionally incomprehensible to we Australians, feeble Americans! Mwahahahahahahahahahaha.
