Twice-divorced Murdoch, whose 3 wives bore him 6 kids, on gay marriage:
Rupert Murdoch speaks out on gay marriage:

"I believe it is wrong. I'm considered homophobic and crazy about these things and old fashioned. But I think that the family - father, mother, children - is fundamental to our civilisation."

The twice-divorced Murdoch, whose three wives have borne him a total of six children, is responsible for such other contributions to our civilization as "Temptation Island," "The Littlest Groom," and "Trading Spouses: Meet Your New Mommy."

2. Murdoch needs to STFU, quickly...
No one has done more to contribute to the dumbing down of America than he has.

5. Note the rapid collapse into anarchy and chaos of Canada, and Spain
both of which have legalized gay marriage. Totally proves his point, no?

12. All the more reasons to stop his quest for a satellite telecomm. monopoly!
He lately has been trying to have his DirecTV buy out Dish Network this last week!

13. Why is it that neo-cons who claim the moral high ground...
Are, inevitably, standing hip-deep in a pit of their own moral filth?

16. Might I propose a 95% Estate Tax on Estate's Greater than 10 Million?

18. He can believe whatever he wants
and chose to not like gay marriage, but everyone should have the right to civil marriage.
