Well, Thank You, Rupert. We’ll Let Some Black People Know.
For folks not on Twitter, Rupert Murdock just proved that he is too damn old and too damn hateful to have a computer.
Get this.
Ben Carson is a REAL black man? As opposed to …. an unreal one?
Murdoch finally apologized, saying he found “both men very charming.” Yeah, but did you find them both black?
Rupert Murdoch, a REAL fat man! Or am I being mean?
1Psssssssssssssst … Rupert, that’s not Dr. Ben Carson on your lawn. It’s an ornament and you really should lose it. Not simply because it’s talking to you, but because it was tacky in the 1950s and is beyond gauche in the 21st century.
2Ya gotta luv that librul media bias. 🙂
3Someone needs to double check the lock on Rupert’s coffin more often.
4For some time I have said, IMO, the most dangerous person to the long term security of this country is murdoch per goebbels.
5“properly address the racial divide” I’m sure he meant Carson will ignore it or actively say there isn’t one. Because currently if people want to address any type of racial issue, teabaggers will rage about how people are pulling the race card or they say racism doesn’t exist anymore so they should be able to freely discriminate.
6I heard an interview with Carson on Money Market last night. He couldn’t provide one specific answer as to how he would cut spending and used the same vague terminology like a robot. He is a “real” black man but also a real joke.
7Would like to hear a “real black” person explain things to Murdoch.
8Sam, robots have been used more and more to perform surgeries. Perhaps Carson isn’t a real black man so much as he is a real black robot.
Who needs rebooting in the worst way.
9And a much faster microprocessor chip.
10This wrinkled prune is, what, like 84. I know we’re not supposed to wish someone dead but it would be nice karma if old Rupert needed some of those $900 dollar pills that young idiot conservative was recently peddling. Rupert just needs to go away and take his fixed news yappers with him. Can you imagine any those losers getting a gig anywhere except fox. Rupert’s got nothing to offer this country except pain and farce.
11“Rupert Murdoch just proved that he is too damn old and too damn hateful to have a computer.”
He’s too damn hateful to own a newspaper or (oh please no) the National Geographic either, but it doesn’t stop him.
Did he mean a “real” black man, or a man who is “real black”? He is “real white,” as in: hasn’t seen the sun in ages and should be re-staked so he doesn’t keep crawling out and saying hateful things.
12Rupert Murdoch is personally responsible for today’s media focus on “If it bleeds, it leads”, and also “the nastier the better” and the more intrusive the better. (Princess Diana, for example)
Unless, of course, it’s about HIS personal life and his nasty divorce. Then, NO PUBLICITY at all.
F’n hypocrite.
13@Rhea, I was so unhappy to read that Nat’l Geo was purchased by Murdock. After subscribing for over 30 years I’ll have to let it expire. Just don’t want to see what changes may be made.
14Today….CNN political commentator – Donald Trump supporter – Jeffrey Lord defended Rupert Murdoch’s suggestion that Barack Obama was not a “real black president”
Jeffrey Lord, a mind reader, says Murdoch really meant that Obama is a “magic Negro.”
I knew that wand that Harry Potter broke in half and threw off the cliff wasn’t going to go wasted!
15What the hell is a “magic Negro?”
All of us here at the Salon knows Barack Obama is a … half white & half black … and a damned fine looking half & half, at that!! Maybe that’s what makes him “magic.”
Murdock is just all pasty white vampire ugly … no magic in that bag o’bones!!
16@Marcia in CO Now that you ask, a surf engine will get its wings when to find out if there is such a wondrous creature to behold. My first thought at hearing him say that on CNN was to say Obama three times in a mirror (but with my luck, Beetllejuice would manifest) …..or rub Obama’s belly like a Buddha statue but Michelle could take me down without breaking a nail. Ha!
Listening to Wolf Blitzer, wearing his platform shoes, interview Ben Carson today to ask if Obama was a real black Pres. left me speechless. No adjective has been created to express the horror of that interview seen around the globe. Carson wasn’t ready to admit he is real, black or a real black President without being poked and prodded for a while.
Whoo hooo, new wings! “The Magic Negro is a supporting character in American cinema who is portrayed as coming to the aid of a film’s white protagonists. Magic Negro characters, who often possess special insight or mystical powers, have long been a tradition in American fiction”
Sigh.
17President Obama sure does have some magic in him, having brought our country back from the brink of a republican recession, provided low cost healthcare to millions and kept the war mongers from pushing us into a war with Syria.
18But the real, honest-to-god magic this black President was getting elected twice in a racist and violent society.
WA Skeptic –
Like many of the finer things in life, privacy is a valuable commodity, and should be freely available to those who can afford to purchase it.
It’s the real Conservative religion: anything worth having is worth monetizing.
19Once upon a time, odious Republican spokesmodel Ann Coulter proclaimed that “our” blacks are better than “their” blacks. I guess that Ben Carson would be the counterexample.
20“Yes, a real black man like that Supreme Court Justice Clark Thomas.”
21How do you define a real black person? I’m gonna go cook supper.
22Lord, these people make me so tired. I’m gonna go grade some papers.
23In the 1980s, I worked at a number of prestigious and politically connected NYC law firms. At one I met Donald Trump (I didn’t offer to shake hands because I knew he didn’t like being touched). At another I met Rupert Murdoch. I survived.
24Ain’t it obvious it is this guy’s ass talking because his mouth knows better?
