Rupert Murdoch Has Had Enough Of 'Gay Orgs' Bullying And Taking Over St. Paddy's Day Parades

TOM KLUDT – MARCH 17, 2014, 10:11 AM EDT

Rupert Murdoch is calling on all Irish people — every last one of them — to stop sipping on Guinness.

The billionaire media mogul isn't feeling very cheery on this St. Patrick's Day, what with so many parades losing participation over LGBT issues.

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is skipping his city's parade due to a dispute over whether some participants could carry gay pride signs.

Boston Mayor Martin Walsh is also sitting out of his city's parade after failed negotiations to allow a gay veterans group.

(my mother was born in Dublin) and I don't drink, but if I did I would start by drinking Guinness. I will encourage all my beer-drinking friends to partake.

A thin brew tasting a little bit like hop, topped with creamy foam. And you can't taste the alcohol, only feel it.

It reminded me of coffee with milk.
