Rupert Murdoch ATTACKED at Hearing!
A young leftist just attacked Rupert Murdoch at the hearing.

Live Feed Here.

Murdoch Attacked—
His wife does a nice job slapping the attacker.

The Guardian reported:

4.58pm: The BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg thinks it’s a bandage on the young man’s face – Nick Robinson says it is shaving foam and the young man hit Rupert Murdoch with it.

4.57pm: The suspect looks like he has a substance like white paint on his face.

My colleague Jackie Ashley tells Twitter: “Wendi [Murdoch's wife] can throw quite a punch.”

4.56pm: The BBC says the young man has been handcuffed. Sky showed the footage again – it seemed to be an attack from Rupert Murdoch’s left.

4.55pm: A young man in a checked shirt has been detained by police.

4.54pm: Someone has just tried to attack Rupert Murdoch. His wife Wendi seemed to slap the person.

UPDATE: The attacker is a UK Uncut activist.
JonnieMarbles is his twitter account.

Ace has video of Jonnie Marbles.
Yup. He’s your typical violent leftist nut.

Michelle Malkin has more thoughts on today’s hearing.

UPDATE: The attacker is a climate camp idiot.

    This is an FYI post:

    if you use disqus to post responses to other websites, it seems that disqus is purging anyone with conservative views. That includes sites like RealClearPolitics and American Thinker.

    So be forewarned. If you post anything that some liberal may object to, you will find yourself in the netherland of responses telling you that you are blocked but given no reason. I just lost access to five of my favorite conservative sites.

    It has started.

    retire05 commented:

    Redwine, I don’t know what happened. I don’t post anything vile, although I do stand up to the radical left wing. It happened during a RealClearPolitics article about Rick Perry I was posting on. The worst I possibly said was that some guy who was calling Perry a bunch of names was that he was a liar.

    I fully expect the powers that be to start trying to shut down conservatives. Hell, half the conservative bloggers I read have been hacked in the last three months, shutting their websites down. Jim Hoft is pretty clear about pointing out the machinations of the left and the extremes they will go to to shut down dissent. I hope he is prepared for what is coming. This is the first site I hit every morning.

    The left seems to be in full blown panic mode. Stop the free speech of conservatives. Attack! Attack! Attack! Maybe there was something to the DoD announcing it would monitor the internet. Against who? Conservatives that are looking to give Obama the boot in November, 2012?

    The deletion of conservative comment is well under way at places like SFGate, the comment site for stories in the San Francisco Chronicle. If you manage to tromp enough leftist toes with inarguable facts instead of the illogical rants favored by brainwashed masses of Bay Area socialists, instead of deleting the single comment, you become an unperson just like in “1984″. Your online identity and ALL your past posts go up in smoke in the memory hole of some leftist editor; you never existed, therefore your arguments will forever be invalid. No matter if your writings got complimented even by leftists, you’re a goner. If the socialist Democrats ever manage to completely swallow government, look forward to this becoming the standard operating procedure in all their sympathetic media.

    Clearly the left didn’t think they were getting the press this reserved in America so they set this up to catch the attention of American media.

    It worked, of course. It’s now front page center MSNBC. It’s now suitable material for the American media and they can now begin leveraging Murdoch to cut the balls off Fox.

    Highlander commented:

    How do these people continue to gain access to such proceedings? Often, the answer is that their idealogical counterparts within Parliament, within Congress, etc., provide them with entry in the furtherence of common goals. Everyone knows this – most of the players (both inside and out) are known to law enforcement. And yet, on and on it goes – with no one ever to answer for it.

  43. #47 July 19, 2011 at 1:39 pm

    Airon Later commented:

    Get with the program people, I said BOTH actions were pointless……..they advance nothing. However, I distinctly recall a recent post from your digital savior Hoft where he lauded members of the Modern American Right throwing bottles at a man that was exercising his Right to freedom of expression. Granted, it was a flag burning and not a particular freedom that I would exercise, but still a protected freedom. So bottles are fine but smearing a pie in the face of a man that is likely an international criminal is heresy? Please………

    Chisum commented:

    We call you “Airhead” for a reason.

    Let me guess, you failed logic class and passed erecting strawmen arguments with flying colors.

  45. #49 July 19, 2011 at 1:46 pm

    Airon Later commented:

    No Chisum, you call me “Airhead” because you lack the ability to speak unless you do so within the framing of the Right. That, and you rely on childish antics and predictable machinations. This is why your rhetoric, Hoft’s rhetoric, and that of you ideological kindred is so easily picked apart.

  46. #50 July 19, 2011 at 1:52 pm

    Wm T Sherman commented:

    AL: Murdoch has already fired everyone involved in this and closed the newspaper where they worked. It is highly unlikely that he personally approved the phone hacking.

    This is not about Rupert Murdoch himself. What’s on display here is a partisan kangaroo court designed to shut down news sources that are not reliable giovernment mouthpieces. They want to go after Fox News here in the US. The public humiliation with a pie throwing is part of the operation. It was all arranged.

    If they can do this to him, they can do it to you or any one of us.

  47. #51 July 19, 2011 at 1:53 pm

    Chisum commented:

    Airhead,

    You are projecting…again.

    Let me ask you something. If you perceived someone was attacking a loved one, would it be pointless to reflexively try to stop them?

    And if so, would that act be ideologically right or left?
