Elisabeth Murdoch to Host London Obama Fundraiser
Guido has received his invite to the £500-a-head Obama fundraiser being hosted by Elisabeth Murdoch at her Ladbroke Terrace home in Kensington and Chelsea at the end of the month. Guido won't be going because (a) he wants McCain to win and (b) the invitation says only American citizens can donate (it asks for your U.S. passport number by RSVP).
So unless Ms Murdoch wants to let Guido off the ticket price, Gwyneth Paltrow and her will have to drink the champagne without him...

Doh!
Exclusive prefix now removed. Guido doesn't read the NY Times...
How does a "Private Citizen" check that the US passport numbers on RSVPs are valid, is the US government identity information system as porous as ours is under NuLabour?
Guido,
but mccain is a mad bomber who has the skin complexion of a fucking leper. and he is four feet tall.
check the stats Guido, US presidents are always six foot plus, a strange but understandable stat as americans want presidents of large, impressive stature, not midgets like hitlary and mccain.
I wouldn't put money on mccain because I would lose it.
Barak Obama is the man.
GO OBAMA!!!!!!!!
note to hitlary clinton: give it up you fucking loser. you have been exposed as a liar with insufficient funds to run a campaign. you have no popular support from within or outside your own party. and going negative was a fatal mistake for you.
has your sex addict husband managed to behave himself lately?
I doubt it.
So you want McCain to win do you Guido? Really? So what's Obama's mendacious tome doing splashed all over your website?
A lot of very odd things about 'Barry'. Seems to win Democratic caucauses with the help of 'independent' voters. His geographic pattern of victories appears to mirror that of one George Bush.
And it seems not one right wing commentator worth their bile(Coulter, Hannity, Limbaugh etc) has a nasty word to say about Obama. To say nothing of the murmers of approval coming from the wider Murdoch media empire.
You know what - if I was one of them there 'conspiracy theorists' I'd say there was something a little bit 'funny' about 'Barry.' All those strange gaps and leaps in his CV.
Too many to query here so I'll limit myself to one - why would a black political activist go to work for a firm like the 'Business International Corporation' after graduating (ha!ha!) from Columbia?
Makes you snigger a little at all those liberal left clowns who have all got their noses firmly wedged up the sphincter of a real 'Company' man.
Pip! Pip!

Here's some proper Murdoch news, frae Scotland, a proud country recently purchased by Mr Donald McTrump, Mr Brian McSouter and Lady Sean McConnery domiciled on the bonny bonny banks of Lake Geneva and founder of HollywoodWifeBeatersUlike.
Perjury charges in Murdoch case. Sid and Nancy to beat rap.
Mr Anwar Neswnight, good-looking lawyer for Glasgow socialist mobsters Sid and Nancy Sheridan, was upbeat, interviewed on Radio Orkney, last week.
It's a bum rap, these pigs, whaddatheyknow from shit ? They already rolled-over on the booze heist and all that's on the table now is this lying in court shit and they'll never make that stick in Scotland; 'swhat everybody does, ain't no crime. 'sin the fucking genes, Jock can't tell the fucking truth. I'm not shitting you. Ask anybody in London. Just look at that Andy Blowjob, or that bloke, Wark, on Newsnight, the transwotsaname. Look at the fucking joke parliament, full to bursting with thieves and tramps and con-artists. Bent lawyers, union punks and nonces, wouldn't know the truth from a pile of tartan dogshit. Simply un-fucking-constitutional to expect my Jock clients to tell the truth in court and I'll move for a dismissal.
Mr Anwar, (Ll.b,FRCS, D.Litt, Hindujah Brothers Cash 'n' Carry Passports 'n' Degrees R Us ) senior partner in Doolali, Garam-Masala and Marshall-Andrews, continued that Sid and Nancy were deeply humbled by all the cards and messages of support they'd sent themselves.
Just because they called Sid's former girlfriends and sex club partners "lying cunts, traitorous shitbags, thieving scum and Murdoch worshipping gold-diggers who must be destroyed"** didn't make Sid and Nancy bad people. And we'll be calling eminent character witnesses, like Sid's Ma and Da, to name but them all. Apart from Mr Pussy Galloway MP, if his missionary work in Africa permits.
A local listener, Mr Magnus Muttonburger, phoned-in to venture that however honoured Sid and Nancy might presently feel it would be as nothing to what Sid would experience as he was treated to an introductory falling-down-the-stairs off Mr Angus McScrew of HMP Barlinnie plc. Och, I remember it the noo, ken, after I was in there for a wee while over that misunderstanding wi' ma niece, she looked a lot older than seven, d'ye ken, at least twelve. Sid and Nancy's wean won't find it too bad in social services care. Not really. And she can always come and stay with me.
Joining the interview by 'phone from New York, Mr Rupert Murdoch said to Mr Anwar Newsnight that he could always find work for a good, photogenic lawyerboy and the plane tickets were at the airport desk. As Mr Anwar hurriedly left the Northern Isles for Edinburgh International Airport,skipping, Mr Murdoch continued that he and his organisation, News Corpse, were deeply committed to human freedoms, very deeply. Only not Sid and Nancy's. Fuck that. Those cheap cunts're going down.
Although, continued Lord Murdoch, if the broad wants to get her tits out for the News of the World, mebbe in that air hostess outfit, we could cut a deal. She got any tits, that Nancy ? Or is she a dog like that horrorshow, Wendy Satchmo. Jesus H Fuckin' Christ, but that's one ugly dame. Oughta be in the fucking circus.
** extracts from Sid and Nancy Sheridan's Simian Solidarity Party Manifesto to the 2007 Scotch general election, sponsored by Mataland and Benson and Hedges, in which, heroes of the People as they are, they triumphantly won no seats and destroyed Scotch socialism and minority, independent politics, left or right, forever.
McCain is unfit to be President. His record is one of a bloodthirsty warmonger. His election to the Presidency would lead to more wars, and be a disaster for the US and the world. In 1999, during the war of aggression against Serbia, John McCain advocated “massive, strategic and sustained” attacks, “no infrastructure targets should have been off limits”—factories, water plants, hospitals, schools, markets, whatever. Yes, he added, “we all grieve over civilian casualties as well as our own losses,” but “they are unavoidable.” As is, this war, against a nation that never threatened the US, cost 3000 civilian lives. Had McCain prevailed, countless more would have been killed. Now he is one of the main apologists for the Iraq disaster, and thinks that singing “Bomb, bomb, bomb Iran” to the tune of “Barbara Ann” is amusing. Russia, he claims, is a “rogue state” that “threatens our values.” Would President McCain launch a campaign for “regime change” in Moscow?
Is McCain the candidate who intends to have the US start minding it's own fucking business and stop the Federal Reserve fucking with the world economy? I think you are confusing him with Ron Paul.
Surely, the right candidate in terms of the front runners selected through the democratic decision of the MSM is 'none of the above'?
spookbluster 4.36,
for fucks sake spit it out spookbluster!
what are you trying but failing to say?
and just out of interest, which candidate do you support?
I get the feeling you back the midget leper, mccain. sorry to burst your bubble but people don't vote for midgets and they don't vote for spastics. mccain is a midget-spastic, so he hasn't got a fucking chance.
which brings us back to the selfish hitlary 'wife of sex addict' clinton.
why is clinton willing to place her own interests above the interests of her party, especially when it will lose her party the presidency if she continues to run?
what a selfish fucker!
thick as thieves...
'Barry' was sent by the 'agency.' Doesn't mean that his mission is to win though. It might be just to fuck up - Hillary, the party or both.
Guido knows about these things so ask him...
Pip! Pip!

"Guido,

Why don't you check the statistics before you spew out your rubbish?
The majority of U.S. Presidents have been under 6 ft.
24 - under 6ft
18 - 6ft or over.
McCain is on the short side at 5'7" but 6 Presidents have been that height or shorter.
£500 quid a throw should raise a grand for obama then ?? I cant go as i have a appointment with the raj tandori for night in with a chicken buhna and some margeux
stan nice hols ??
clinton was good , jock troubles about tommy socialist transmitable disease all very suspicous. bent laywers surely not dougie and co
jcb,
you do know this is just a blog, don't you? you fucking spastic.
it wouldn't matter if mccain was fifty foot tall, the dopey cunt is still a mad bomber who looks like an extra out of a horror movie.
he hasn't got a chance.
mccain is just too ugly with flaky, red skin. ughhh... disgusting!
Obama is a far taller, more handsome and distinguished looking man than the stunted, ugly dimwit, mccain.
hot news literally
gordos going to recieve the olympic torch on sunday, got to be caption comp extra !!
I'm voting for McCain as his company makes the best Hash-Browns.
Is the VIP hour from 6pm to 7pm the window where he get to take his letter of introduction from Jeremiah Wright to score a tea date with Abu Hamza?
Bojo's lead reduced to 1% in ICM poll.
Guido was being offered the concessionary rate!
Murdoch's daughter hosts fundraiser for Obama
Owen Gibson, media correspondent
guardian.co.uk,
Wednesday April 2 2008
The Murdoch family are used to people trying to decode their political stance and its implications from their public actions. Now Elisabeth Murdoch, Rupert's daughter who runs a large independent production company, has thrown them a curveball by hosting a London fundraiser for Barack Obama.
In the most high-profile example yet of glitzy fundraising bashes for the US presidential hopefuls spreading across the Atlantic, a string of notable US ex-pats with jobs in media, the arts and finance will gather at the Notting Hill home Murdoch shares with her husband, PR guru Matthew Freud.
So-called "event chairs" at the fundraising evening include actress Gwyneth Paltrow, the wife of Coldplay singer Chris Martin, Warner Brothers UK chief Josh Berger and Julia Moffett, the director of strategy for the BBC World Service Trust.
Hosts at the bash, VIP tickets for which cost $2,300 (£1,160), include Joanna Shields, the international vice-president of social-networking site Bebo, which was recently sold to AOL.
Rupert Murdoch's News Corp media empire includes the rightwing Fox News, alongside a host of other properties including the New York Post, the News International stable of UK newspapers including the Sun and the Times, Twentieth Century Fox, BSkyB and the Wall Street Journal.
Murdoch's backing is assiduously courted by politicians around the world, with his choices often decided by expediency, and last year he donated $2,300 to Hillary Clinton's campaign fund.
Prompted by his son James, now head of all News Corp's European and Asian operations, he has also endorsed former vice-president Al Gore's environmental campaign.
Elisabeth Murdoch's Shine production company has expanded hugely in the past two years with the purchase of a string of rivals including Kudos, the producer of Spooks and Life on Mars, and Reveille, the US production company behind The Office and Ugly Betty.
She launched the company after leaving a senior executive job at BSkyB in 2000. Contacted by the New York Times, Freud said: "I don't think you can interpret the event as anything other than she is enthusiastic about Obama's campaign."

Got my invite. Wrote back, fuck you! Bring back nancy fucking reagan, great president!
Anyone know how Ms Murdoch feels about Brown's "ID cards for foreigners" wheeze? Will she and her friends be happy to be interviewed and fingerprinted by some truculent Home Office servitor and to give details of all their residences anywhere in the world for the Big Computer?
Just asking?
OBAMA YO MOMMA
Ken Blackwell - Columnist for the New York Sun
It's an amazing time to be alive in America . We're in a year of firsts in this presidential election: the first viable woman candidate; the first viable African-American candidate; and, a candidate who is the first front running freedom fighter over 70. The next president of America will be a first.
We won't truly be in an election of firsts, however, until we judge every candidate by where they stand. We won't arrive where we should be until we no longer talk about skin color or gender. Now that Barack Obama steps to the front of the Democratic field, we need to stop talking about his race, and start talking about his policies and his politics.
The reality is this: Though the Democrats will not have a nominee until August, unless Hillary Clinton drops out, Mr. Obama is now the frontrunner, and its time America takes a closer and deeper look at him.
Some pundits are calling him the next John F. Kennedy. He's not. He's the next George McGovern. And it's time people learned the facts.
Because the truth is that Mr. Obama is the single most liberal senator in the entire U.S. Senate. He is more liberal than Ted Kennedy, Bernie Sanders, or Mrs. Clinton. Never in my life have I seen a presidential frontrunner whose rhetoric is so far removed from his record. Walter Mondale promised to raise our taxes, and he lost. George McGovern promised military weakness, and he lost. Michael Dukakis promised a liberal domestic agenda, and he l ost.
Yet Mr. Obama is promising all those things, and he's not behind in the polls. Why? Because the press has dealt with him as if he were in a beauty pageant. Mr. Obama talks about getting past party, getting past red and blue, to lead the United States of America . But let's look at the more defined strokes of who he is underneath this superficial "beauty."
Start with national security, since the president's most important duties are as commander-in-chief. Over the summer, Mr. Obama talked about invading Pakistan, a nation armed with nuclear weapons; meeting without preconditions with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who vows to destroy Israel and create another Holocaust; and Kim Jong II, who is murdering and starving his people, but emphasized that the nuclear option was off the table against terrorists - something no president has ever taken off the table since we created nuclear weapons in the 1940s. Even Democrats who have worked in national security condemned all of those remarks. Mr. Obama is a foreign-policy novice who would put our national security at risk.
Next, consider economic policy. For all its faults, our health care system is the strongest in the world. And free trade agreements, created by Bill Clinton as well as President Bush, have made more goods more affordable so that even people of modest means can live a life that no one imagined a generation ago. Yet Mr. Obama promises to raise taxes on "the rich." How to fix Social Security? Raise taxes. How to fix Medicare? Raise taxes. Prescription drugs? Raise taxes. Free college? Raise taxes. Socialize medicine? Raise taxes. His solution to everything is to have government take it over. Big Brother on steroids, funded by your paycheck.
Finally, look at the social issues. Mr. Obama had the audacity to open a stadium rally by saying, "All praise and glory to God!" but says that Christian leaders speaking for life and marriage have "hijacked" - hijacked - Christianity. He is pro-partial birth abortion, and promises to appoint Supreme Court justices who will rule any restriction on it unconstitutional. He espouses the abortion views of Margaret Sanger, one of the early advocates of racial cleansing. His spiritual leaders endorse homosexual marriage, and he is moving in that direction. In Illinois , he refused to vote against a statewide ban - ban - on all handguns in the state. These are radical left, Hollywood , and San Francis co values, not Middle America values.
The real Mr. Obama is an easy target for the general election. Mrs. Clinton is a far tougher opponent. But Mr. Obama could win if people don't start looking behind his veneer and flowery speeches. His vision of "bringing America together" means saying that those who disagree with his agenda for America are hijackers or warmongers. Uniting the country means adopting his liberal agenda and abandoning any conflicting beliefs.
But right now everyone is talking about how eloquent of a speaker he is and - yes - they're talking about his race. Those should never be the factors on which we base our choice for president. Mr. Obama's radical agenda sets him far outside the American mainstream, to the left of Mrs. Clinton.
It's time to talk about the real Barack Obama. In an election of firsts, let's first make sure we elect the person who is qualified to be our president in a nuclear age during a global civilizational war.
Jon Snow describes the American economy as 'contracting'.We don't know that yet?It's rate of expansion/growth has slowed but I haven't seen evidence it's contracting.
Does not the wrinkly prune already own enough.
O/T but did anyone see that cunt Hain on newsnight SANS PERMATAN?
(b) the invitation says only American citizens can donate
That is correct altho' I believe it's quite legal to funnel foreign money thru' "527" organisations like moveon.org and other Soros tools.
Donate to Obamalamadingdong, wunderkind from the depths of the Chicago Democratic Party machine, the same that stole the 1960 election from Nixon and tried indirectly to do the same in 2000 except Daley Jr wasn't as good as his father.
Clean as a whistle !
Guido, you want the yanks hanging around in Iraq for "a thousand years" as McCain does, presumably with servile NuLab/NuCon governments backing them - you fucking pay for it.
Gosh. The choice is down to McCain and Obama? Poor old Americans...
Thick as Shit said...
"jcb, you do know this is just a blog, don't you? you fucking spastic."
You obviously think that it is just a children's play area.
Hmmm notice you don't have the latest poll as your headline Guido!
Boris and Ken now neck and neck!
Thickas says "Obama is a far taller, more handsome and distinguished looking man than the stunted, ugly dimwit, mccain"
Erm, Mr TAT, I hate to have to draw your attention to the fact that Obarracama ia rather a dark tan, and notwithstanding Ms Murdoch's predilections for the dark side of life, I think you will find these are not shared by the US electorate at large.
It is one thing to big-up the token darkie for the good of race relations, quite another to make him CinC. In other words there is no way Jose, or Hussein in this case.
O/T
this just freaked me out:
http://www.abovespaceandtime.blip.tv/#415503
no really freaked me out.
Anyone who has ever spent any real time in America (i.e. more than a fortnight in Walt Disney World, Florida) will know that America is not ready for a black or female president.
They're even more backward than you horrid Brits. God - how I hate you all!
That's why I moved to Mexico. The opportunities for career advancement within Taco Bell were so much better.
And being in charge of the garbage gives me more time to post shit on Iain Dale's blog.
Why does Obama's "Special Event in London" thing with the "I'm asking you to believe..." quote look like he's some godly, blessed figure?
Is he going for the thick idiots who believe in religion & politics combined? I thought that was the Republicans forte?
Not that it matters, as if Barack is selected as Democrat candidate, the white racist American vote will come out in force to support whomever isn't a candidate of a dusky hue. You read it here first. I'm never wrong.
Anonymong :-)
So Murdoch + Obama = different colour wrapper but same old shit.
Think Tony with a tan.
TaT, McCain's complexion is due to being practiaclly burned alive whilst in a POW camp.
Fuck off to bed now, there's a good boy.
Why would a woman of Murdoch's social and economic position want a communist to come and spiel to some expat Democrats? I can see the point in having the people confirm they are US citizens because of the ban on foreign donations. I wonder if she has a US passport? ANY FOREIGN FUNDING of Obama is illegal and would make trouble for him. Get it?
Got another invite, wrote back you can still fuck off! Nancy Reagan for el presidente, he was great!
Who let Verity in?
I thought she was banned from this site.
B. Hussein Obama is the biggest bore in the US.
If they had Peter Riddell over there, he would take silver.
The Murdochs are low-rent porn purveyors; the daughter is a spoilt brat.
who gives a shit about all these priviledged fucking fundraisers other than parasites and the crooked?
verity said...
Who gives a flying pickets arse what that cunt said. Piss you 'orrible old trout!
Read his bloody book Guido!!! The man is a fruitcake - and bloody publish my blog arsehole!!!!
Has anybody read this book? The book reveals Obama to be a black power crazed lunatic. Obama could be the next president: If people had read Mein Kampf Adolf would have been blown away.
Virtually every page is bristling with fury at some imputed racist incident.
For those of you who are waiting for Obama to play the black card, look no further than ... Page 85!
When his white mother expresses concern about one of Obama's school friends being arrested on a drugs charge, Obama says he patted his mother's hand and told her not to worry.
This prompts Obama to share with his readers a lesson on how to handle white people: "It was usually an effective tactic, another one of those tricks I had learned: People were satisfied so long as you were courteous and smiled and made no sudden moves. They were more than satisfied, they were relieved -- such a pleasant surprise to find a well-mannered young black man who didn't seem angry all the time."
This technique seems to be the basis of Obama's entire presidential campaign. But but the sniveling shit was talking about his own mother! As Obama says: "Any distinction between good and bad whites held negligible meaning."
So do-gooder drip Elizabeth Murdoch, do you think a white person who said that about blacks would be a leading presidential candidate?
