Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Thursday, May 29, 2008

News Corp Chief Executive Rupert Murdoch on Wednesday predicted a Democratic landslide in the U.S. presidential election against a gloomy economic backdrop over the next 18 months. Murdoch has yet to endorse a U.S. presidential candidate but considers Barack Obama very promising, the media magnate said in an interview by two Wall Street Journal reporters at an annual conference for high-tech industry insiders.

I am sure that Hillary must be disapointed. Supposedly they were great friend and she was his candidate. Rupert is getting on board with what he considers an apparent winner.

"The founder -- and defender -- of Fox News said he expected Obama to win in a landslide, citing widespread unhappiness with the current administration and his disenchantment with Republican contender John McCain. Murdoch added that after a long career in the Senate, McCain had been forced to compromise too much and doesn't stand for much. Murdoch even nonchalantly owned up to influencing the New York Post to back Obama in the New York primary."


whoa...

Several months ago I predicted Obama as the Dem nominee and a Dem landslide in November. If Hans were here he'd readily post the archive of it.

How long until Ruper is assassinated or commits suicide?

What kind of game is Murdoch playing here?

Suck up to the winner. Rupert doesn't want to piss off who he thinks will be appointing the FCC. Could hurt his monopolies.

One of the lesser heard from turd burglars speaks his mind, such as it is.

"Which mid-sized American city will be sacrificed so the neocons and Zionists can get on their war against Iran?"

Never mind that a Pentagon asset has already been caught doctoring up AQ tapes, pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.
Instead, look at this man on the screen, yeah, don't you hate him? Hate him real good for the next two minutes, which will give us more than enough time to give the launch orders for those B-2's carrying battlefield nukes against another of Israel's "existential" enemies, Iran.

hopefully, Mena, Arkansas?

The upside of a dem landside is that they will have no one else to blame when they achieve hegemony, and do what they already promised, which is to fuck up the country. We repubs can then use Obama for a punching bag the way dems have done with Bush for eight years.

Everyone loves a winner.

He reports. You decide.

What kind of game is Murdoch playing here?

He's not the captain and ain't goin' down with the ship. But not worry righties, just keep listening to the band.


Murdoch Predicts Dem Landslide


You righties better start memorizing passages from the Quran. And make sure you send your next tax check care of 'World Government'. Oh, and start getting used to being called 'whitey'.

He Is A NEOCON !!! A GOP Ass Clown That OWNS FOX News He's Sean's Best Buddy !!!

-Sarge

Darth,


I've been called 'white trash', but never 'white'.


PS - for posterity's sake: Fuck you!


:-)

Don't call me nigger, whitey
Don't call me whitey, nigger

Don't call me nigger, whitey
Don't call me whitey, nigger

Well I was down, across the country
And I heard two voices ring
They were talkin' angry to each other
And neither other could change a thing

Don't call me nigger, whitey
Don't call me whitey, nigger...


sly & the family stone

He is soooo good at predicting--he first predicted that Hillary was the winner.

Some folks should stay quiet. They appear smarter than they really are.

Murphy-
I don't guess you have that problem.

Kinda like "Mission Accomlished" you stupid c**t?

Ankles up wench.

a game is being played and obama stands no chance of getting elected. hats off to obama for taking the trailer trash clintons out however.

"We repubs can then use Obama for a punching bag the way Dems have done with Bush for eight years."

No chance, man. Bush's incredible combination of arrogance and incompetence make him a natural born punching bag. We may never see his like again (hopefully).

So who do you blame for all the fucked-up things of the last 7 years? The guy you voted for twice? Obviously you have no judgment.

Wait a minute. This doesn't fit with the right-wing spin at all:

news.yahoo.com

During her CNN appearance, Yellin said the press corps was under enormous pressure from corporate executives to make sure the war was presented "in a way that was consistent with the patriotic fever in the nation and the president's high approval ratings."

The higher Bush's approval ratings, the more pressure she felt from news executives to put on positive stories about the president, she said. Pushed by Cooper to explain, Yellin said her bosses would turn down critical stories about the administration and try to put on positive pieces.

Yellin, a Harvard graduate, worked at ABC News as a White House correspondent from 2003 to 2007. She joined CNN in 2007 and is now a congressional correspondent; she was in Puerto Rico Thursday reporting on the upcoming Democratic primary.


from Monte's article

Harvard should rescind her deploma then, right? (sic data ~ right?:>)

FukWadThom-the way Clinton did? You know, booming economy, budget surpluses and winning two wars? Oh yeah, almost 8 years of no terrorist attacks? Longer than Bush? And cheap gas?

Yeah, all that would be a bummer.

But look on the bright side. The few GOppers remaining in office will continue to be arrested for perverted acts and stealing money, so there will be some consistency.

"Murdoch added that after a long career in the Senate, McCain had been forced to compromise too much and doesn't stand for much."

Interesting point. That's one of the things that brought Kerry down: voted for it before I voted against it, etc.

So, according to the founder of 'Faux News' the greatest advantage of Osama is that he has absolutely no experience?

When are the usual assclowns at FoxNews going to swiftboat Murdoch?

www.236.com

McCain on torture/waterboarding:

THEN : NO
NOW : Um, OK

McCain on the Bush tax cuts:

THEN: "irresponsible"
NOW : We must make them permanent

McCain on his own immigration bill:

THEN: for it, of course
NOW: would vote against it

McCAin on the sanctity of marriage:

THEN: All for it until my wife/mother of my children who waited for me while I was a POW was in a disfiguring car accident, then I had multiple affairs until I found this hot heiress twenty years my junior and unceremoniously dumped the old bag in order to marry her and her money.
NOW: All for it

So, according to the founder of 'Faux News' the greatest advantage of Osama is that he has absolutely no experience?

being dead and all that...

And of course:

McCain was for Hagee before he was against him.

MCcain was against Falwell before he was for him.

McCain was for Parsley before he was against him.

McCain was against lobbyists before he hired as many of them as he could afford.

Except McCain is still against torture.

With all his negatives at least be honest about that one Betelg it's not like we have to make up bad shit about him take what he has given and run with it, but lets not lie when we don't need to.

Murdoch is a realist. Even rigid righties have to be realists if somewhere along the line they've amassed a pile of dough.

Other rigid ones expect President O to screw up the land. Two replies to that:

A. In four years we'll still be working on the Bush mess. NO one term can fix that.

B. These folks, going down with Repub flags flying, will really HATE it when President O turns out to be a simply super blend of FDR and JFK. The potential is all there. herm

Itsy bitsy--you are truly vile.

How does one dump someone's abusive comment?

Herm the Worm wrote,

Herm, you have lost your mind? As if ever you had one. Obama is just another Jimmy Carter and couldn't wipe the sweat from JFK or FDR's balls.

Get off fantasy island and join the real world. At best Obama will be a puppet for the far left wing of the party and at worst a miserable failure for lack of experience, judgement and workable real world ideas.


SEE YOU IN DENVER!!!

CrackPipeJunkie with a great retort!

well obama has a good chance at winning especailly if the current trend continues and of course I am talking about ANY critizism of him will be returned with the old racists attack. that shit has already started. listen to what the church of obama just said about hillary being a racists so you can only imagine what they will say about us on the right......

This coming from someone whose username is exactly who he is. Just like my username describes me.

TOMORROWS NEWS TONIGHT..

obama with more problems from church.

read all about it.

clergy comes down hard on hillary as racists and this from a man who calls farakahn a gift to the world......

so there must be something to this....this religious family of obama....

Murdoch predicts a landslide but as he'll still keep his pack of rabid dogs attacking to try to prevent President Obama from accomplishing anything.
Murdoch is a cancer on America.

ff

right sweet danni......he sure is. there might be a place for him at OBAMAS CHURCH. they seem to be right there when you are talking cancer.

Rupert Murdoch, Terrorist Appeaser

BLT-saw one of Mcsame's commercials last night- environmentalism, renewable energy,helping blue collar workers get jobs and the poor with mortgage problems. Nothing about Iraq. Thought it was a Hillary commercal except it was too liberal.

Poor guy's gonna have to decide whether to piss off the GOPper base or the moderates. But in typical McSame style, he'll do both.

well north you have said nothing I can argue about since he is not the candidate of my choice, but again......its him or one of two socialists....so I ask again....so whats a warmongering, old people hating, child beating, homeless chiding, old conservative suppose to do? it certianly isnt bob barr who has the same chance of winning as I do.....

"....so whats a warmongering, old people hating, child beating, homeless chiding, old conservative suppose to do?"

Simple. Repent. Vote Obama!

Us libs will forgive you for your sins.

Rupert (The Unbearable) Murdoch starts his own corporate/reich wing news channel in order to promote GOPher propaganda then goes on to court Hillary back before her patina of "inevitability" had worn off.

Now?

Looks like the only thing that could stop Obama from becoming POTUS would be an assasination attempt beyond the character assasination attempts he's already survived.

Ergo Murdoch knows that it's time to start cozying up to the next POTUS.

Predicting a Dem landslide and semi-supporting Barack Obama by essentially damning him with faint praise while his network continues to slag BHO with the "secret muslim"/ "racist"/ "elitist" tags is all just part and parcel of Murdoch's traditional MO.

Spud tags Murdoch as being part of the problem.

Be Well.
