Murdoch: Carson would be 'real black President'
Posted by salaamallah@hotmail.com on Thu Oct 8 01:05:30 2015 fiogf49gjkf0d WASHINGTON (AP) — The founder of the global News Corp. media empire, Rupert Murdoch, is suggesting that President Barack Obama isn't a "real black president." Murdoch was praising Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson and his wife on Twitter Wednesday evening when he wrote: "Ben and Candy Carson terrific. What about a real black President who can properly address the racial divide?" Later, Murdoch recommended a New York magazine article asking whether Obama has done enough for the African-American community. Murdoch is the founder of Fox News Channel, and News Corp's publications include The New York Post and The Wall Street Journal. The 84-year-old Murdoch has praised Carson on Twitter before, calling him "irreproachable on background, achievements, character, vision."

Carson's a lunatic and last thing we need is another bible banger wannabe as President. They should just cut to the chase and nominate Pat Robertson and be done with it. Rupert's behind the times if you listen to what the republican echo chamber is all about. This is the year (and actually it's NEXT year for the election) of a woman President. So raise a toast to Carly Fiorina, she can do for America what she did to Hewlett Packard. Woohoo. :-\

So I suppose now liberals, who only have white, non-hispanic candidates running for president are the true racists. That includes you, old fool.

Murdoch apologizes for saying Carson would be 'real black President'
Posted by Olog-hai* on Thu Oct 8 15:14:10 2015, in response to Murdoch: Carson would be 'real black President', posted by salaamallah@hotmail.com on Thu Oct 8 01:05:30 2015.* fiogf49gjkf0d Associated Press Rupert Murdoch apologizes for 'real black President' tweet By David Bauder Oct 8, 2015 2:51 PM EDT Rupert Murdoch, who founded the News Corp. media empire that includes Fox News Channel, apologized on Thursday for a Twitter message suggesting that President Barack Obama isn't a "real black president." Murdoch praised Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson and his wife as terrific in a tweet Wednesday, adding, "what about a real black President who can properly address the racial divide?" In a separate message, he encouraged people to read a New York magazine article about disappointment among some blacks about the president. Following a backlash, Murdoch tweeted Thursday: "Apologies! No offence meant. Personally find both men charming." White House press secretary Josh Earnest said he didn't know whether Obama was aware of the tweet. "I did note that Mr. Murdoch tweeted an apology this morning. I also noted that a Fox corporate spokesperson was asked about this and said something like 'I'm not going to quote on Mr. Murdoch's tweets.' And I'm not going to either," Earnest said Thursday. Carson, interviewed on CNN, said he considered the controversy "much ado about nothing." "I know Rupert Murdoch," Carson said. "He's not a racist by any state of the imagination. He's just expressing his opinion." Asked by CNN's Wolf Blitzer whether he considered Obama a real black president, Carson replied, "Well, he's the president, and he's black." Pressed again, Carson said it was an issue of semantics. "I'm the last person who wants to deal with semantics and political correctness." Former Obama aide and current CNN commentator Van Jones, said on that network that he found Murdoch's tweet "outrageous and disgusting," and said that Fox News had done more to undermine Obama than any news organization had ever done for a president. "This president has done everything he could do in the face of Rupert Murdoch," Jones said. "If Rupert Murdoch cares about black people, he should tell the people at Fox News he does so, because you can't get that from watching Fox News." Fox had no immediate comment.

"Librals good, Republicans bad!" That's why you are trying to change the subject, so desperately. Don't fret, though, you are channeling liberal media narrative because Dr. Carson refuses to bow to political correctness.
