Murdoch rag: "Obama a JFK for out times". This follows his US flagship paper endorsing Obama

[jackson_dem]

I refuse to snip anything from this right-wing rag. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/columnists/william_rees_mogg/article3386292.ece Here is the New York Post, Murdoch's flagship paper in the United States, endorsing Obama before Super Tuesday. http://www.nypost.com/seven/01312008/postopinion/editorials/obama_for_the_democrats_261880.htm

1. He forgot FDR, MLK, Lincoln, Jefferson, Churchill

[liberalnurse]

2. Yeap! and the Obamarites have and elephant in the room

and refuse to see it. Soon, they will be stepping in the dung of that elephant, maybe even fall face first in it. :shrug: :banghead:

[blm]

3. That entire Post endorsement of Obama was full on ATTACK of Obama. Sheesh

get a grip on reality. Murdoch is trying to RSVP late to a party that no one wants him at, and anyone with even a nickel of sense can recognize that.

[jackson_dem]

7. Yeah it was really against Obama

Obamites have such tinted glasses when it comes to St. Obama.

-snip-

His opponent, and her husband, stand for déjà vu all over again - a return to the opportunistic, scandal-scarred, morally muddled years of the almost infinitely self-indulgent Clinton co-presidency.

-snip-

Bill Clinton's thuggishly self-centered campaign antics conjure so many bad, sad memories that it's hard to know where to begin.

-snip-

But he (Obama) remains a highly intelligent man, with a strong record as a conciliator. And, again, he is not Team Clinton.

-snip-

Obama represents a fresh start.

Look, it is a rethug rag. They aren't going to say "we agree with this Democratic candidate". The bottom line is the effect of the Post's endorsement was to push more voters into Obama's column with its scathing attacks on Hillary, which sound like they were written by the Obama campaign itself!

22. Any idiot upon reading the endorsement could clearly see

it was not an endorsement. It included the Clinton's anti-Obama memes. Murdoch always willing to help out his buddy Clinton (just like in NH when he helped her play the poor me card).

[MannyGoldstein]

4. Oh Rupie! You Said That *I* Was The Chosen One!

[creeksneakers2]

24. Doesn't this new link prove something sinister is going on

between Rupert and Obama?

[MannyGoldstein]

25. It Could

Or it could mean that Rupie likes to back the winner - one can't get really good favors from the loser.

[HeraldSquare212]

5. But your candidate will take his money.

[book_worm]

6. That NY Post endorsement was weeks ago and your resurrecting it now?

how about the Murdoch campaign contribution to Hillary? Or any of the many other newspaper endorsements that Obama has gotten in Wisconsin (Cap times, Milwaukee Journal) or Texas (major Houston and Austin papers)? You must be running out of negative things to write about Obama about.

[jackson_dem]

9. The Times piece will come out tomorrow

The fact Obama has gotten 81% of (CORPORATE OWNED) newspaper endorsements when excluding home state endorsements says it all. If only we open our eyes in time.

[BeatleBoot]

13. Shout this from the highest mountain!!!!

[stevenleser]

15. So now you Hillbots are trying to put a negative spin on Obama getting most newspaper endorsements?

What is your negative spin going to be on Obama winning the Nomination and Presidency?

:banghead: :spank: :eyes:

[jackson_dem]

16. Who owns newspapers? Are we to foolishly ignore the corporations own them?

The people who are giving us Obama are the same ones who gave us Bush in 2000.

[elixir2]

11. No, some things are just classics. Murdock endorsing your candidate is a classic.

[Oskie]

21. Austin American-Statesman endorsed Bush 2000 & 2004 eom.

[Thrill]

8. What about Murdoch's contributions to Hillary?

[jackson_dem]

10. The Obamite argument is Murdoch likes both?

I accept that. They are both equally corporate so it isn't surprising Murdoch is happy with both. Contrast that with how his media holdings savaged Edwards...

I am not supporting Hillary out of any illusions that she is not closely tied to corporations. I just don't have the delusion that Obama is also not a corporate candidate. This delusion is shared by many who turn a blind eye to the facts right before them all in the name of hope. It is inexplicable. Look at their policies. What good will 'hope' do when Obama delivers exactly what you all despise?

[ProSense]

12. No one can stop Murdoch's rag from talking about Obama. Who can stop Hillary from taking his money?

n/t

[BeatleBoot]

14. What's wrong with taking his money and then using it against him?

Or is there too much realism there for the idealistic?

Enjoy the Obama Wilderness...

Sometimes it gets cold out there...

[ProSense]

19. "What's wrong with taking his money and then using it against him?" That's not exactly what

what Hillary did.

[madrchsod]

17. so? why would i be concerned who a rupert rag would endorse?

will it influence your choice for the democratic candidate? do you think that if murdoch`s paper endores any democrat that his readers will switch parties?

[jackson_dem]

18. It is funny how his chief rags endorsed Obama in light of the Obamite "Hill/Murdoch" talking point

[madrchsod]

20. talking points are in the eye of the beholder

i could care less about the conspiracies what are discussed here at du.

[Skwmom]

23. Clinton/Murdoch is not a talking point. It's reality.

26. seems like RWers see something about O they like. nt
