Watch Live: Congressional Hearing on IRS Scandal
Live BlazeCast at 2pm ET: All the fireworks from the IRS Hearing!
Rupert Murdoch Under Fire for MidEast Tweet: ‘Can’t Obama Stop His Friends in Egypt Shelling Israel?’
(Photo: AP)
Media mogul Rupert Murdoch is under fire for weighing in on the violence cascading throughout the Middle East on his Twitter account, where he implied that President Obama should have more influence with the Egyptians he helped put into power.
“Can’t Obama stop his friends in Egypt shelling Israel?” the News Corp. chief wrote from his verified Twitter account.
Israel has been under attack from all sides for the past four days, facing hundreds of rockets from Gaza, skirmishes on the Syrian border, and now rockets from extremists in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula as well.

The Egyptian government was arguably the most significant transfer of power during the so-called “Arab Spring,” when President Obama supported what appeared to be the youth of Egypt calling for freedom from longtime leader Hosni Mubarak, but ended with Islamists controlling the government.
“I have no words. Just disgusting,” a Daily Kos article says of Murdoch’s “offensive” tweet.
Twitchy grabbed a number of other responses, most of which implied that Murdoch is “off his medication,” “drunk,” “evil,” or “dribbling in public.”
“Why aren’t you in jail yet?” one Twitter user asked.
But that’s not all Murdoch had to say.
“Middle East ready to boil over any day. Israel position precarious. Meanwhile watch CNN and AP bias to point of embarrassment,” he asserted.
As of this article’s publication, Murdoch’s most recent tweet reads: “Why Is Jewish owned press so consistently anti- Israel in every crisis?”
Recently re-elected, President Obama is currently traveling throughout Southeast Asia.

Posted on November 18, 2012 at 5:42amActually, although Murdoch is spot on, I’m surprised to hear him expound when Saudi Prince Talal owns 7% of News Corporation next to Rupert’s 12% The good prince has a lot of editorial impact at Fox and I’m surprised to see that Rupert is breaking bad on this issue.
We all know that Obama greased the skids to aid in Mubarak’s ouster. It began when Obama flew into Cairo in 2009 and DEMANDED that the Muslim Brotherhood be seated for the speech. Hosni should have begun transferring a huge portion of his wealth to Saudi right then and there in preparation for his swift departure. You DO recall that the MB assassinated Anwar Sadat back in the day? Mubarak stayed too long and Obama and the Muslim Brotherhood got him. Mubarak was a demon and a crook, but he was OUR demon.
Now, the inmates are running the asylum in Cairo and they can just taste victory across the border in Israel. Too bad that the meat they smell on the grill is their own butts being cooked by the ultimate in backyard grill masters, BiBi Netanyahu. BiBi, please remind those toothless bastards what the six day war was like. I’d like the Muslim Brotherhood fronts here in the United States to experience the same recipe. Maybe once BiBi cleans up the mess that obama created over there, we’ll elect him to clean-up Obama’s mess here? I mean, they (50.6%) elected a Kenyan community organizer.
Maybe an Israeli warrior could provide just the thing we need.

Mr. Murdock is wrong about one thing, he should not have asked that question because it’s actually a stupid question. Obama is a muslim radical and his brothers have taken over Egypt, the goal of the muslim brotherhood is to destroy Israel and that is Obama’s goal as well. He will NOT be happy until he has been instrumental in initiating sharia law throughout the world!

Posted on November 18, 2012 at 5:46am@Keaton333… The death panels are real however they are not in the ACA the dems are to smart for that and Palin was one of the first to discover that the dem’s hid it in the stimulus bill 2009.
H.R. 1 (more commonly known as the Recovery and Reinvestment Act, even more commonly known as the Stimulus Bill and aptly dubbed the Porkulus Bill) contains a whopping $1.1 billion to fund the Federal Coordinating Council for Comparative Effectiveness Research. The Council is the brain child of former Health and Human Services Secretary Nominee Tom Daschle. Before the Porkulus Bill passed, Betsy McCaughey, former Lieutenant governor of New York, wrote in detail about the Council’s purpose.
Daschle’s stated purpose (and therefore President Obama’s purpose) for creating the Council is to empower an unelected bureaucracy to make the hard decisions about health care rationing that elected politicians are politically unable to make. The end result is to slow costly medical advancement and consumption. Daschle argues that Americans ought to be more like Europeans who passively accept βhopeless diagnoses.β

Posted on November 18, 2012 at 8:20pmMr. Keaton, I have read the Bill and there is indeed a15 member panel that will be deciding what the “appropriate” standard of care is. They have already changed the criteria for kidney transplantation. Sadly, by the time you know the truth, it will be too late to fix. The affordable care act-hahahahah, is designed to fail and usher in a one payer system. I have traveled the world and been a nurse for 26 years and sir, a one payer system will not allow for the standard of care we have today. Now, would you like the red pill or the blue pill, we have determined that your contribution to the collective is not worth the cost of that open heart surgery you need.

Those “extremists” have fired into Israel before now and the Egyptian government has apparently not been all that successful in stopping them. The only question is whether its a result of simple failure, a lack of interest, or a purposeful oversight. Seeing as Morsi is openly siding with known terrorists and adding in the fact that Iran has smuggled weapons into Gaza from Sudan (meaning they need to pass through Egypt), I am forced to assume that if the Egyptian government isn’t actively enabling these terrorists, they most certainly are not doing all they can to stop them.

Posted on November 18, 2012 at 6:23amKEATONC333, Its as simple as this. Egypt has influence with the Palestinians and should use that to stop these rocket attacks. Otherwise the so called Palestinians will bring upon themselves what they deserve. BTW, Morsi has involved himself by asking for a cease fire. As well contacted the UN for the same. Apparently the Hamas are running low on their munitions. A cease fire in the region will allow Egyptians to funnel more rockets, and other military material through the Hamas built tunnel systems. Also take notice that I specifically said Egyptians which does not necessarily mean the Egyptian government. Naturally, Morsi will have about as much plausible deniability in this as 0bama regarding anything that might embarrass him. Yep, you just gotta believe that he never hears of anything that he doesn’t want to hear about.

Posted on November 18, 2012 at 11:22amIt’s not my job to defend Murdoch, but he didn’t say that Egypt was shelling Israel. What he said was more nuanced.
And if you don’t understand that the Muslim Brotherhood are moving weapons and soldiers from Egypt to Gaza, you’re fooling yourself.

Posted on November 17, 2012 at 8:55pmMr. Murdoch has led the way as a representative of the media holding our government employees accountable for their actions and in-actions. What other members of the media will use their clout in the same way as the founding fathers intended?

Posted on November 17, 2012 at 8:52pmThe truth is the truth, and when we become afraid of it because we are under fire.. well we then are lost as a nation! If we are shut up because someone doesn’t like what we say.. well then freedom of speech is lost! I commend you Rupert Murdoch! I commend all men and women who speak the truth! God help us!

Posted on November 17, 2012 at 8:49pmMurdoch’s comment – Regardless of whether you are Democrat or Republican or whatever… Obama has or should have clout with Morsi. There is nothing wrong with Murdoch’s post. It should apply no matter what side you are on when trying to bring peace. Rockets came from Egypt, there is no denying that fact.

And while I’m on the subject of the left.
I struggle everyday what they should be called.
Nothing seems to fit.
Could someone help me out?
Do we call them:
Democrats?
Liberals?
Marxists?
Communists?
Commies?
Traitors?

Posted on November 17, 2012 at 10:53pmRandy: Agree . What to call these New Left Democrats ? They are the old school Marxists… even share an old Lenin brochure name, ” Forward .” Do the young sucked into this even know ? How can anyone, who does know about the history of the old Marxist regime, want anything to do with their warped, dysfunctional, hate-filled philosophy ? Guess the hate/ anger united them. Obama stoked that with his ” anti-bankers/ anti-rich ” rhetoric. All of this ” anti ” rhetoric threatens the rest of us . And will destroy them ultimately. Just as it did the founders of the French and Russian Revolutions. Hate kills – not even those hated, but those who hate.

Posted on November 17, 2012 at 8:41pmMedia Matters, funded by George Soros, started “guerrilla warfare” quite a while ago against Rupert Murdoch, Glenn Beck, etc. Glenn Beck had himself and employees threatened, therefore he now has his own TV network. Rupert Murdoch has all sorts of charges aimed at him and his newspapers, resulting in having to sell one of his European papers.
Mr. Murdoch is telling the truth. Obama sent a billion of our American taxpayer dollars to Egypt and the Muslim Brotherhood. He did say he “would stand with the Muslims if the political winds change”

Posted on November 17, 2012 at 8:41pmWell Obama forced Mubarak out of office and installed these idiots into power in Egypt and Libya. He was a close friend and confidant of Rashid Kahlidi a finance official in the PLO wing of the Muslim BrotherHood. They went to school together and taught at the same schools in NY and Chicago. Obama even praised him during a send off dinner for Kahlidi and took campaign cash for his races in Illinois.
Barak Hussein Obama is a sympathetic and break that word down into two pieces sym[pathetic], the second half describes this presidents actions towards Jews and the nation of Israel. God will not forget.

Posted on November 17, 2012 at 9:41pmHomeschoolmama……..I’m not sure he could stop them even if he wanted to now. He has done nothing but enable Egypt and the Muslim Brotherhood thinking he could control them. They have slipped their leash. Obama is still in the game but not in control. He will have to come completely out of the closet and side with Islam against Israel to continue to have any standing with them.

Posted on November 17, 2012 at 10:12pm333: Obama Troll: so the ” Egypt ( under Muslim Brotherhood ) hasn’t done anything wrong yet ” are the latest ” talking points” from your Obama masters ? You must be a paid employee as it is Friday night . This seems an odd place to spent your evening when you are young…. and the message ? Totally bogus. ( The Muslim Brotherhood assassinated Anwar Sadat who tried to broker a peace between Israel and the Palestinians , etc. The MB killed him for his efforts. They hated Jews then, They hate them now. How sad that all of you young are so damn stupid about history. Makes you the easy mark for these Bernie Madoff styled Lefty politicians who use you for their ” punish the West / and now it’s my turn to turn the world into another failed Big Brother, totalitarian government ” philosophy. Bad for everyone . Especially for the young whose futures these Scam artists have flushed for their own angry/ revenge agendas. Hatfileds and the McCoys. ( Read up on their rivalry , youngsters. There is a big lesson in that old history example.)

Are you really that stupid?
Egypt is a sovereign government. As such it has responsibility for things that happen in their territory.
Like these rockets came from Egypt into Israel and they the authorities do not who where what happened – Really – Do you think if the USA had some nuts firing rockets into Canada we would not have the responsibility to stop and find the perps. Really.
And please spare us the “just saying stupidity” Egypt IS responsible – However being a liberal the word responsibility does not have the same meaning as it does to us Americans

Don’t look at those dissenters hanging from the trees with there hands and feet nailed, don’t look at the Christian’s fearing for their lives, don’t notice that the women in the media are now covered for the fisrt time in nearly 50 years.
