Of course they would! Nothing would be said if Murdoch donated to the progressives JUST LIKE SOROS HAS/IS DOING! The dems need to sit down and shut up!We need everyone to donate whatever they can to turn this country around by getting career politicians OUT of office this November and beyond. I live in Wisconsin and there is a political figure at the state level who has been in office for 40 YEARS! 40 YEARS–COUNT ‘EM!This guy needs to be unceremoniously dumped out into the street on his butt! NO ONE should be allowed to serve more than 2 terms; just like the president. If WE are going to get term limits amended into our Constitution, then WE are going to have to put the fear of Almighty God into these politicians to change the status quo. Also, I downloaded a very interesting video this morning regarding getting the scum out of office which dealt with taking away the PERKS!
Once a politician is done “serving the public”, he/she should get NO LAVISH retirement package except for the president–and I may even retract that one!

Here we go again, the cry baby liberal democrats! See how they react when others do the same thing they do? Obammy boy don’t know how to run the country, he fails everyday, all his czars are stupid idiots, they also fail daily, they syeal from us are then they re-distribute it to their lazy stupid entitlement voters, change and or pass laws behind closed doors, ram new health plan down our throats, try to allow illegal immigrants and give em a free ride, won’t defend our states or support our border security, allow queer gays to marry each other, promote the killing of babies through abortion, etc. etc. Now when smart people decide it’s time to support the correct policy and the people that know how to turn the USA around to survive… the little cry babies shout foul! Well a big ha ha ha and a he he he. Can’t take it huh? oh sorry I forgot to mention the Gore/Hilary blame global warming for India’s flooding and devistation.

Let’s face it. The Dems think everyone is brainwashed & should only do what they want. Good for Murdoch, at least one Media source owner isn’t kissing their asses. But in all truth, both parties have made a mess of this once great country. I am afraid it is beyond repair. Members of both parties know Obama is an Illegal President,& nothing is being done about it. Time to kick all the incumbants out & get new blood in Congress. I am an Independant, who leans a lot more toward the Republicans, but damn near all of the people in Congress, are Lawyers, liars, & crooks. As far as the Media goes, you can’t believe very much of what any of them report. I do watch Fox only. They are MORE FAIR & BALANCED then the others.

This is another example of the democrats idiotic thinking. How about NBC CBS and all the public news media only reporting what Obummer wants them to. One sided FOX news?? They should be applauded for actually showing the facts of what is really going on behind the news media vail. For instance what crimes are really happening now in the Arizona invasion from illegals and drug cartels. You would think all journalists would want to do their job rather than be told to nix that story as obummer will not like anything showing his disregard of constitutional rights he took oath to abide by. Freedom of the press has been bought and paid for by this administration and Fox just pisses them all off. Go FOX!

Hooray for Rupert Murdoch. If I had the means to do so, I would do the same thing.

It is bad that someone gave the GOP a million dollars … but it is perfectly okay for Soros to give the Dems a hundred million.

Isn’t it great that we live in the “NEW” USSA?

The socialist democrat bastards would b-tch if they got hung with an old rope. Of course being socialists they want to be given a new rope, I’ll donate a wire 3/8″ cable so America can have a group neck tie party! Listening to the USDA whiny broad, is going to sue , damn, I’m surorised. Last time she did, she got several million and stayed as well still in NAAcp, just go back to the cotton patch, she is a racist bigotted w-tch. After she got her settlement, she should have been terminated and kicked to the curb, but she is black, so now some people get special favors as they whine over their imagined discrimation.

Why don’t these rich guys get together and buy back America? Maybe that way us ‘little people’ can just work for a living and earn enough to support ourselves. Instead we have to work ourselves to death in support of a government that takes and takes from us and gives to the wealthy who don’t need it anyway. And we condemn the Vanderbilt’s ans Rockefeller sr. They put AMERICANS to work, if any of them are still around ask your great grandparents. ‘Enuf’ ranting.

Should we say “AHHHHHH POOR BABY” for the democraps?

I applaued Mr.Murdoch, it’s about time someone has the sence to do what America needs. And that is to dismantle the DNC.

I’m not at all surprized the democraps are whining they need to grow up!

George Soros gives multi-Millions to the Democrats through various front organizations – Does that make the Dems a tool of Soros? The unions give millions to Dems but little or none to Reps – does that make the Dems a tool of the Unions? Maybe we need a very restrictive law that declares NOBODY can give money to either party – then police the hell out of it. While we are on the subject of donations, what ever happened to the investigation of the millions of overseas and fake contributor donations that Obama received? Seems like that one may have been smothered at birth.

Regardless of the supposed Fox News funding of the Ground Zero Mosque, even if you take issue with it or think that it is a terrible thing, there are bigger evils going on in the world that we shouldn’t lose focus of like World War 3 starting between Israel and Iran (whatever the facts may be behind the war, whether or not Isreal and/or Iran are the true evil is irrelavant), and our entrance into the 2nd Great Depression.

This whole craziness with the mosque, just like the craziness with the New Black Panthar party guy blocking a polling station in 2008 is designed as a “weapon of mass distraction”. It is working brillirantly because no one seems to care that the market lost 150 points last Friday and is currently down almost 100 today. While we are distracted over lesser evils, extreme evil continues unabated. Lol, I guess in the Fema concentration camps we can talk about our given stances on the mosque at ground zero while waiting for “shower time”.

George Soros give multi-Millions to the Democrats through various front organizations – Does that make the Dems a tool of Soros? The unions give millions to Dems but little or none to Reps – does that make the Dems a tool of the Unions? Maybe we need a very restrictive law that declares NOBODY can give money to either party – then police the hell out of it. While we are on the subject of donations, what ever happened to the investigation of the millions of overseas and fake contributor donations that Obama received? Seems like that one may have been smothered at birth.

FOX NEWS should put a disclaimer banner on its programing that reads
” We at fox news support any and all who stand for the free market and capitalism
And will stop at nothing as long as it is legal and honest to expose the
George Soros and the socialist marxist communist democrat party in its true agenda which
The muslim Iman and dear leader chairman obama the first black criminal to hold the
Office of president of the USA”
REMEMBER IN NOVEMBER …..VOTE OUT THE SOCIALIST MARXIST DEMOCRAT PARTY

The lefist George Soros has donated 100′s of millions to anti American groups disguised as the Democratic party! It’s still unbalanced to the LIBERAL, MARXIST,COMMUNIST, PROGRESSIVE side that is totally against the will of the people!

I urinate on Daschle and all the far left dems. They woller in their own snot ball of hypocritical crap and point the finger at anything and everything that doesn’t work their way. Oidiot was given billions by far left extremists and soros and they have the brass to complain about this little (in comparison) donation to freedom, instead of tyranny which is what they represent. If the saudi boy, and he ain’t no king to me, wants to eat pork by giving to mosque organizers, then he too can join all his pig masked friends in the depths of hell. I mock ALL of them and would mock them to their face. Our country is already lost, it will take something major to get a foothold to our freedom once again.

Talk about bankrolling – the unions banroll Obama – look at the payback. Fox is STILL FAIR AND BALANCED and the only SANE voice in the mediat who covers everything, leaving out NO details or information.

Thank you to Mr. Murdock.
He has a right to give to what he thinks will help free entrprise. I only watch Fox. They give both sides and you can decide. Jeff and his GE bunch are not on my list anymore.

I guess “George” can give and the Democrats don’t think that is a problem. When the street is two ways they don’t like it.

Rupert Murdoch
Birthdate: 3/11/1931
Birthplace: Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
Occupation: businessman, chief executive officer

Is/has Mr. Murdock become an American citizen?
If not,
Has he broken American Law by making such a “donation” as a non- citizen? If he is a non-citizen.

(also;LONG READ, BUT INTERESTING………………..)
****my comment: (money & politics sure does make strange bedfellows)

Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal presents 9/11 relief check to New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani

The Saudi prince whose post-9/11 relief check was rejected by former New York Mayor Rudy Guiliani has found a more willing recipient in the city for his millions: the head of the Ground Zero mosque project.

The same Saudi potentate, Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, owns the biggest chunk of the parent company of the Fox News Channel outside of the Murdoch family.

Former Bush advisers have similar ties to the prince and the proposed mega-mosque in Manhattan, which may explain why they’ve asked Republicans to soften their opposition to it.

WND has learned that one of the original board members of the nonprofit group promoting the 13-story mosque and “cultural center” took the job as a favor to James A. Baker III, the former President George H.W. Bush official and lawyer who defended Saudi government officials against a lawsuit filed by families of 9/11 victims. Baker has counted bin Talal as a client.

The dots are finally being connected! Find out what Islam has planned for you: Get “Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld That’s Conspiring to Islamize America.”

Bin Talal has pumped more than $300,000 into the project headed by New York imam Feisal Abdul Rauf as part of the prince’s campaign to “improve the image of Islam in the American public.” The prince’s charitable foundation in 2008 gave $125,000 to Rauf, which came on the heels of an earlier $180,000 gift, according to the Arab press.

(Story continues below)

The foundation is run by Muna AbuSulayman, a Saudi woman who appears on Rauf’s website as one of its “Muslim Leaders of Tomorrow.”

Additionally, the prince funded “through a generous grant” the reprinting of Rauf’s 2004 book, originally titled “A Call to Prayer from the World Trade Center Rubble: Islamic Dawa in the Heart of America Post-9/11.”

The amount of the grant is undisclosed. Attempts to reach bin Talal’s Saudi-based foundation were unsuccessful.

Guiliani refused to accept bin Talal’s $10 million donation after bin Talal blamed U.S. policy in the Middle East for the 9/11 attacks and suggested the U.S. take a position more favorable to the “Palestinian cause.”

Critics called his offer “blood money” and praised Guiliani for rebuffing it.

After Giuliani’s snub, bin Talal took a more indirect strategy to influence American policy.

In a 2002 interview in the Arab press, bin Talal intimated that “Arabs should focus more on penetrating U.S. public opinion as a means to influencing decision-making” on the war on terror and U.S. foreign policy.

Bin Talal proceeded to give more than $500,000 to the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Washington. The prince currently is helping CAIR finance a $50 million campaign to fight “Islamophobia” in America. According to a sensitive State Department cable, top CAIR officials in 2006 traveled to Saudi Arabia to solicit bin Talal and other wealthy Saudis for campaign funds.

“We are planning to meet Prince Alwaleed bin Talal for his financial support to our project,” CAIR Executive Director Nihad Awad told the Arab press at the time. “He has been generous in the past.”

In addition, the Saudi-based Organization of the Islamic Conference has kicked in more than $300,000 for CAIR’s propaganda effort, according to the book “Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld That’s Conspiring to Islamize America,” which exposes CAIR and other fronts for the radical Muslim Brotherhood in America.

CAIR last week held a press conference at the National Press Club to support the construction of the mosque near Ground Zero. It also denounced critics as “Islamophobes.” CAIR occupies a suite next door to Rauf’s Manhattan offices, and Rauf has honored CAIR’s New York chapter spokesman as one of his “Muslim Leaders of Tomorrow.”

The Justice Department says CAIR is a terrorist front group for Hamas and its parent the Muslim Brotherhood. CAIR in 2007 was named an unindicted co-conspirator in a criminal scheme to funnel millions of dollars to Hamas suicide bombers and their families, prompting the FBI to cut off all outreach to the group.

The group in the past has insisted it receives no foreign support but now acknowledges taking it least overseas money from bin Talal, whose operations are based in Saudi Arabia. However, CAIR argues it shouldn’t be held to a higher standard than Fox.

“News Corp. is headed by Rupert Murdoch and is the parent company of Fox News Channel,” CAIR spokesman Ibrahim Hooper said. “If CAIR is taken to task for bin Talal’s donation to us, so should these companies be taken to task for accepting his money.”

Through his Kingdom Holding Co., bin Talal owns at least a 7 percent, $2.3 billion stake in Fox’s parent company News Corp. His website lists News Corp. as a “core” holding.

“KHC [Kingdom Holding Co.] intends to continue to leverage its relationship with New Corp.’s mangement to identify new investment opportunities,” the website says.

Indeed, bin Talal last month launched a new Arabic TV news channel in partnership with the Fox network. The 24-hour broadcast channel will compete with Al-Jazeera. Earlier this year, News Corp. agreed to buy a 9.1 percent stake in bin Talal’s Rotana Media group for $70 million. Rotana hosts Fox channels in Saudi Arabia.

Critics call bin Talal an “agent of Saudi influence” who has even marshaled direct influence over editorial content at Fox. He once boasted of persuading producers to change a screen banner under video footage of Muslims rioting in France to remove its Islamic reference.

“I picked up the phone and called [New Corp. chief Rupert] Murdoch,” bin Talal said. “Within 30 minutes, the title was changed from ‘Muslim riots’ to ‘civil riots.’”

Fox does not deny his account.

News Corp. also owns the Wall Street Journal. Insiders say two of the newspaper’s top investigative reporters covering terrorism left after Murdoch scaled back their beats. Glenn Simpson and Susan Schmidt, both award-winning journalists, had broken major stories on Saudi funding of terrorism.

Bin Talal, News Corp.’s second-largest shareholder outside the Murdoch clan, has described his relationship with Murdoch’s son and heir-apparent James Murdoch as “very close.”

“If he (Rupert) doesn’t appoint him, I’ll be the first one to nominate him to be the successor of Mr. Rupert Murdoch, God forbid if something happens to him,” bin Talal told Charlie Rose in a recent TV interview.

The Aspen connection

After 9/11, Rauf co-founded the Cordoba Initiative with former Aspen, Colo., Mayor John S. Bennett, which explains why Cordoba’s tax filings list an Aspen address.

During his four terms as mayor, Bennett was introduced to bin Talal and other Saudi royals, who own chalets and other properties in Aspen (Bennett’s own home is valued at more than $2 million). Bin Talal met his second wife in Aspen.

Before taking over Cordoba as executive director, Bennett headed the Aspen Institute, which included among its board members former Saudi Ambassador Prince Bandar bin Sultan, as well as former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. Rice has appeared with Rauf at events in Washington and overseas.

Aspen Institute recently launched the Middle East Leadership Initiative with “generous support” from Saudi Arabia. AbuSulayman, bin Talal’s aide, is an Aspen Institute Middle East fellow.

Cordoba’s tax filings show that Julia A. Jitkoff of Kingsville, Texas, was a director before resigning in 2007. Sources say the Texas socialite was sponsored by “longtime friend” Jim Baker, who sits on the board of her family’s King Ranch holding company.

FEC records show Jitkoff and her family gave over $30,000 to the Bush-Cheney campaigns. Cordoba’s 2008 IRS statement shows its books are kept by Kay Zimm of Kingsville.

According to bin Talal’s biography, he and Baker met regularly in Houston to discuss business in the 1990s, when bin Talal was a Carlyle Group client of Baker. Joining them for business lunches at the Bayou Club was former President George H.W. Bush, a senior Carlyle adviser at the time.

Baker’s Houston law firm, Baker & Botts, which defended Saudi officials against the 9/11 lawsuit, is one of the top international firms specializing in Shariah-compliant finance – another hobbyhorse of bin Talal.

Bin Talal in 2007 donated $250,000 to the James Baker III Institute at Rice University.

Bennett is also close to the Bush family. He graduated from both Yale University and Phillips Academy in Andover, Mass. In 2002, bin Talal donated $500,000 to help fund the George Herbert Walker Bush Scholarship at Phillips Academy.

The Cordoba documentary

The Cordoba Initiative is promoting the Ground Zero mosque. According to its tax filing, its mission statement, among other things, is to “address the root causes of international terrorism.”

Cordoba was the center of the Islamic caliphate in Spain, and the Cordoba mosque was built over the cathedral there.

Rauf has also worked on a documentary film – “Out of Cordoba” – by New York director Jacob Bender, a peace activist and Islamic apologist. The 2008 film, for which Rauf is listed as an adviser, purports to document how Islam led Europe out of the Dark Ages.

“Cordoba was the most advanced city on the European continent,” Bender says.

He also claims it was the most tolerant, allowing Christianity and Judaism to “coexist” with Islam.

Bender said he made the film to respond to “growing evidence of Islamophobia and attacks upon Muslims,” adding that “negative stereotypes about the Muslim are the result of ignorance.”

“American society has always been quite isolated, not wanting to know about the rest of the world. Secondly, American popular cultures always needed an enemy to confront,” he said. “First it was the native Americans, [then] Germans in World War I, and later the communists.”

Then came 9/11 and the war on terror. “In recent years people in the United States looked to justify the huge military budget by finding a new enemy in the Arab and Muslim world,” Bender continued. “The 9/11 and al-Qaida presented them with an opportunity to say that Islam is an enemy of the West.”

Muslim leaders around the world have given the film rave reviews.

“The film will contribute to solving the problem of misunderstanding between the Islamic world and the West,” gushed OIC Secretary General Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, who has proposed with CAIR an international law criminalizing blasphemy of the Muslim prophet Muhammad.

Listed first among “major funders” backing the film: Alwaleed bin Talal Foundation.

Another backer is the Islamic Society of North America, which bin Talal also finances. The uncle of Rauf’s wife, Daisy Khan, serves on ISNA’s board. The U.S. government recently named ISNA an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terror-finance case in U.S. history.

An ISNA affiliate – the Graduate School of Islamic and Social Sciences – changed its name after federal agents raided its offices after 9/11 on suspicion of supporting terrorism. Northern Virginia-based GSISS is now known as Cordoba University.

I wonder why Daschle isn’t upset about Immelt, who runs GE and is the parent company of NBC and MSNBC, only givng to Democrats. He’d probably give the liberal stock answer “That’s not the same thing.” I will agree with him on one thing , I’m not so sure Fox is “fair and balanced.”. Like the rest of the media, they seem to be in the tank for Obama.

Since Dems Know how to spend our money more wisely than we do, they know better than Murdock, how he should spent HIS money.(being sarcastic)They would have taken that Million in a heart beat.

Murdoch has done nothing wrong in giving the Republicrooks a million bucks. Daschle and the rest of the Democraps are just mad Rupert didn’t give them any money !!!

Personally I would have gave the money toa a few Rscue Missions and/or soup kitchens to feed the poor and/or homeless folk. You only need like 10 million bucks to live good ! In rupert’s case He probably needs security guards so 500 million is more like it ! Rupert, give it all those billions away but keep 500 million for yourself and your family …

Daschle needs to do some serious research. If he thinks Murdoch is any better than a wealthy RINO, he needs to switch to a more refined hallucinogen.
Murdoch is the George Soros of TV.
He knows how to make money. He knows how to perform cheap tricks. He knows how to spread money around and keep people distracted. Smoke-and-mirrors gets him what he wants. Murdoch is an unelected politician. BFD. Get over it.

Dashle is just a good example of the pot calling the kettle black!!! (no reference to race intended before you try to hang me!!!
