Rupert Murdoch: Ben Carson Would Be a "Real Black President"
hollywoodreporter.com ^ | October 07, 2015

Posted on 10/07/2015 6:54:41 PM PDT by Helicondelta

Rupert Murdoch once again has no problem making potentially incendiary comments on Twitter.

The 21st Century Fox chief took to Twitter on Wednesday to compare GOP presidential candidate Ben Carson to current president Barack Obama.

"Ben and Candy Carson terrific," Murdoch wrote about the candidate and his wife. "What about a real black President who can properly address the racial divide? And much else."

This is not the first time that Murdoch has praised Carson on Twitter. Murdoch has also previously been critical of Donald Trump, with the real estate mogul feuding with Fox News of late.

I thought America’s first black president was Bill Clinton.

What he should say is Ben Carson would be a real president.

Don’t like Murdoch, but when he zings Obama, it is priceless.

Yes, probably, but that would not say what he wants to say.

I think Carson is great, but he would be eaten alive by the bad guys in the world.

“I think Carson is great, but he would be eaten alive by the bad guys in the world.”

Like the Executive anus in the office now?

I must say that I have been coming to view Carson more and more favorably as time goes by. He is clearly not a tool of the GOPe, is extremely intelligent, and well grounded. I also feel a bit more comfortable with him when the subject is temperament, where at least one other candidate has raised serious doubts on that subject.

Facts:

1) Except in the very odd/exceptional election year of 1964, the Dems haven’t cracked 50% of the whites in a Presidential election since 1932.

2) Once the ‘64 election was over, the Dems understood that they would never win another Presidential election again unless the Republicans REALLY screwed up...or unless they changed the electorate in a dramatic way.

3) The Dems, courtesy of Bobby Kennedy who wrote the law, and Teddy Kennedy who pushed it in the Senate, passed the 1965 Immigration Act. That law dramatically reduced immigration from our then-traditional large sources of immigrants - England, Ireland, Holland, Germany, etc. - and replaced them with vast numbers of Turd Worlders...whom everyone knows vote around 80% for Dems, and will continue to do so for the rest of their lives, as new immigrants have traditionally done.

4) As a result of the ‘65 Act, and due to the Dem’s outright lying in ‘86 regarding an effective (or any) fence, there are now probably 30 - 40 million illegals in this nation. Note that the (probably low-ball) figure in 2005 was 11 million...we have 2-3 million come in every year, so simple math says that the number is actually somewhere between 31 and 41 million). If any substantial portion of these people ever become citizens, then the Dems will have accomplished a complete shift of the electorate, and will be virtually invincible on the national level. Every state will become like California, both politically and economically - which is to say, overwhelming Dem and broke. But at least if you don’t like California now, you can leave for a better place without much trouble - where are you going to go if EVERY state is like that?

5) Every Republican, and every Conservative voter MUST UNDERSTAND that if such a state of affairs comes to be, NO OTHER ISSUE WILL MATTER AT ALL, because we will ALWAYS AND FOREVER lose on those issues. Immigration is THE issue of this election, and this election is as critical as the 1860 election was - and for the same reason, because it will determine whether this nation continues on as it has existed in the past, or becomes a new and unrecognizable entity that simply occupies the same geographic territory.

Please wake up, and help others to do so by sending them this post (or recommending “Adios America” to them). It really is THAT important.

Murdoch is spinning Carson as a means to take down Trump. Nothing more, nothing less. Murdoch could care less about Carson. He wants PIAPS or Yeb!

Murdock’s exaife Wendy is a close friend of Ivanka Trump Murdock’s desire to have their mutual friends ignore Wendy and choose just him was ignored. The Trump family have been loyal to their friends

As if I wasn’t suspicious enough of Carson already, the GOPe’s media czar “endorsing” him? Remember that both Carson and Murdoch are BIG TIME pro-amnesty. Buh bye, Ben...

I totally agree with you! Murdoch has had his hat handed to him by Trump twice now and had to back down...he hates Trump and because Carson is the one right now who is closest to Trump’s poll number is the one Murdoch is pinch hitting for, for no other reason than to get rid of Trump...

I for one, will NOT let that happen and I don’t see any other Trump supporter doing it either...

Murdoch is an old has been who thinks he’s important when all he is an old blowhard....worthless POS....
