Yup. That's the ticket.

[marmar]

1. Human Shar-Pei Brit Hume's mushbrain has turned to liquid.....

:freak:

[bjobotts]

37. Doesn't know a damn thing about Buddhism.Plus insulted Christianity

[bjobotts]

38. Tiger Woods is none of his business.What an ego for this idiot to give advice

[Holy Moly]

75. I'd choose Islam, myself

If choosing a religion to have faith in is made
based on one or two superficial features rather
the right one and only god, then my advice
to Tiger is sign up for Islam cause they offer
him 69 (or is it 96) virgins which can be a lot
more fun than forgiveness..

[Submariner]

2. This statement from a cowardly chickenhawk who shamed his son into suicide

How christian of him.

[DutchLiberal]

55. Ooh, I'd like to know the story behind that.

[proud2BlibKansan]

71. Here. It's a very sad story.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandy_Hume

[Submariner]

72. Hume's son's boyfriend was ex NY Rep Paxson who is married

to another ex NY Rep Susan Molinari. Paxson quit congress around the time of Hume's suicide.

[AlinPA]

3. Brit Hume looked and sounded drunk in that segment. He has a warped mind.

[DuckyCase]

76. That was weird. He looked like he was possessed.

[stray cat]

4. Why does Tiger need Brit Hume's forgiveness? Was there a relationship?

[dhpgetsit]

18. Are we to assume thet Tiger swings both ways?

No pun intended.

[robo50]

79. Best laugh of my morning! n/t

[HysteryDiagnosis]

5. And the women involved must be whipped until they repent. n/t

[Mz Pip]

6. Brit must have

a Messianic complex. Amazing that he "knows" what Tiger needs to do to be forgiven. Wonder if Tiger's wife agrees.

[tularetom]

7. Forgiven by whom? Brit Fucking Hume?

Don't make me laugh.

First of all, I honestly don't think god gives a shit what Tiger Woods or any of the rest of us do. Any more than he cares what a gnat does.

Secondly, when did christianity become the moral exemplar for the human race? Tiger should become a christian so he can be like ... I know, Ted Haggard.

Organized religion sucks and the more organized it is the more it sucks,.

[ooglymoogly]

41. Genus fucus tardus talking

whilst soiling itself mimicking a human. Faux, Barnum and Baily should take their freak show on the road.

[TheEuclideanOne]

48. Yeah, plus I don't think God watches Fox news

Christianity has been the moral examplar for as long as I can remember. :sarcasm:

The funny thing about the last election was how all of the candidates had to distance themselves from the religious leaders due to how hateful and sinful these "religious" leaders have behaved in the past.

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

8. I'm not a Tiger apologist or fan even

but none of that situation is anyone's business but his and those affected. Forgiven, not forgiven, why should I even care? :shrug: I have enough to do keeping my own life in order.............

[Botany]

9. This from a man who took part in the swiftboating of John Kerry?

John Kerry won 3 purple hearts, a bronze star, and a silver star and you Brit and Fox trotted out
liars who never even served on the same boat as Kerry pushing bull shit on a real life hero and yet
you talk about redemption?

Brit you should be the one begging forgiveness.

[lakercub]

22. That's the thing

Brit feels he can slander, lie, and and degrade anybody he wants because he's got God. He gets forgiveness...it's built-in so he can do anything he wants and then prayerfully "repent." Watching so many Christians act like they can do what they want and then get automatic forgiveness is one of the many reasons I hate going to church so much.

[eShirl]

10. in other words, "It(extramarital sex)'s O.K., If You're a Christian"

[Botany]

11. Oh Jesus I am cumming

We are so lucky to have St. Hume to pass on his wisdom to us mortals.

[bertman]

31. That was hilarious, Botany!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Cosmocat]

39. B I N G O ...

That is SPOT on ...

If you are christian and REPUBLICAN, cause being christian and democrat is no good either ...

BUT, being christian and republican means you can do WTF you want, and all if forgiven ...

THIS is a BIG part of the virus that is modern day politics ...

Being republican and christian is one big get out of jail free card to these idiots ...

[Joe Bacon]

42. Oh, Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD!

Amen! :rofl:

[tomm2thumbs]

60. 'O Come All Ye Faithful' is the title afterall...nt

[TheEuclideanOne]

47. Actually that is pretty cool. I might become a Christian as well.

I never knew of these cool perks. I am jewish and the closest we have is Jewish Guilt. Well, no more of that.

Step 1: Convert to Chritianity
Step 2: Commit a bunch of really fun crimes. Woo Hoo, I can pay my bills now!
Step 3: Get Forgiven

Rinse and repeat

[AllenVanAllen]

62. "It (extramarital sex)'s O.K., If You're a Christian"

That's what it said on the doormat at The Family house on C Street.

[Enthusiast]

65. Essentially that's what they believe.

Adultery is common with professed Christians. At least for those that I know of.

[GreenTea]

12. So all Woods has to do is announce it publicly & all is forgiven, go back to his fun lifestyle

since it looks like Woods won't be married much longer.

And if Woods is caught, doing something that the oh-so-moral hypocrites don't like...

All Woods will have to do.....is say he has repented (again) and tell us all that the devil got him off track and made him do it (again) - but now he's right back upon the lords path (again) and all we be forgiven (again).

Isn't that just so cool?

Old republican pig Brit Hume knows this bullshit works.

All republicans like Hume constantly use it....

Just look at all the lying hypocritical republicans at the C Street: Secretive D.C. Christian Group - works for them....

(Don't try and tell anyone that C Street resident MI Rep. Bart Stupak is a democrat, simply because he has a "D" next to his name, the fucker Stupak is a republican through & through)!

So all Woods has to do is announce that he too has given his life to Jesus, say it publicly and he too is in like Flynn!

[Joe Bacon]

59. It worked for Newt

All Tiger has to do is go on the 700 Club and his sins will be washed away, Then he can cheat just like Newt does :rofl:

[earthside]

13. Such Arrogance.

One could put it this way to Brit: "Until he becomes a Buddhist, he is doomed to come back as a slug for many, many reincarnations."

Oh, but he already is a certain species of slug.

[RZM]

14. Stupid on many levels

I wonder if Brit noted the irony of urging conversion to Christianity with a Jew sitting a few feet away. And how do they justify talking about this crap on a political show?

[Hulk]

15. What an idiot.....

This dufuss is truly one dumb shit head.

[RayStar]

19. Dufuss

I like the term.

[Enrique]

16. will Jesus forgive Brit Hume for fucking sheep? n/t

[dhpgetsit]

17. No, a Christian will forgive someone regardless of their faith.

Now I may not be a true Christian, but assuming Tiger had offended me to the point where I had to decide whether or not to forgive him, it would depend on the sincerity of his apology and willingness to atone.

[Guilded Lilly]

20. Quasi-Faux *Christians*

have a lot to personally account for before they actually come close to embracing the lifestyle and mind set of the man whose teachings they attempt to follow.

If this style of judgmental, blinder-wearing, hate promoting, spiritual labeling and shameful holier-than-thou-and-the-rest-of the-world shallowness continues without being intelligently challenged, the peaceful hopes of the people on this planet will remain stagnated in ignorance.

[provis99]

24. "No true Scotsman" argument.

the "faux" Christians are every bit as "Christian" as the "true" Christians.

[sakabatou]

21. And not just any Christian, it must be the same sect as Hume

I'm guessing.

[dembotoz]

23. just playing to his viewership

his fox viewers loyalty to him just increased.

[Jefferson23]

25. Unbelievable! The arrogance is too much, even for this dick head.

[brucea]

26. Christianity is the one true faith,

Christianity is the one true faith, and is the only path to God, as defined in the Holy Book. (There are three of those - Torah, Bible and Koran, but only one is correct. Choose carefully).

Doesn't everyone know that? Even if Tiger had lived an exemplary life, he would not be saved, as he is not a christian. (By the way which kind of Christianity is Rev. Brit advocating for? Although he never makes that clear, we may surmise that it is some sort of evangelical sort. Don't convert to Catholicism or Mormonism - certainly those are false Christianities).

Also, Tiger must be saved. The question is, saved from what? Redeemed from what? This question is one not oft asked or answered. Ya just gots ta be saved (from what?), to have faith (in what?).

Also, Brit is a buffoon.

[bertman]

32. Nice sarcasm, brucea. Welcome to DU.

[brucea]

34. Thanks.

Thanks for the welcome.

I see that digby has noticed this, too.

[Douglas Carpenter]

27. it's scary when William Kristol sounds like the voice of reason

[Enthusiast]

66. Good point. nt

[JDPriestly]

28. Brit, don't you just love those Christianocentric feelings?

So warm and cozy, so belongable.

[XanaDUer]

29. Wow, he embarrassed Bill Kristol

that's quite a feat.

[Loudmxr]

52. Yeah! I could just see Kristol thinking "Brit... I'm a JEW!!! Waddya saying about my religion?"

[defendandprotect]

30. So Brit Hume couldn't possibly do any thing ... cause he's a Christian????

Ah, yes --

"All the saints are in churches and all the sinners outside of them" -- !!!

:evilgrin:

[Xipe Totec]

33. Irreligious piety n/t

[bermudat]

35. Idjit!

[winyanstaz]

36. The Goddess will forgive Tiger if he just tries to be a better person..

and Tiger doesn't have to become a Pagan to be forgiven either. He just needs to resolve in his heart to be better and to seek forgiveness from the family and people he harmed.
As to the rest of us...it's none of our business.

[tsstranger]

40. Become a christian to be forgiven?????

Is that how Newt Gingrich got into the Catholic Church?

Oh wait, he was already a christian when he was cheating on his wives.

[Joe Bacon]

43. Catholic Newt is on his first marriage.

Isn't that nice, Dump wife #1, wife #2, and while you are on wife #3, you are cheating with wife#4. Then you join the Catholic Church and they reset your "Marriage Go Round back to "1". Isn't that special?

[KansDem]

44. Why can't I make oodles of money spewing this horseshit?

Must be the suit...I don't have a spiffy suit! :(

[fascisthunter]

45. Tiger Woods doesn't need to be forgiven by Hume nor does he need to be Christian

the statement by Hume's right wing bigotry parallels white supremacist and neo-nazis ideology of today. His intolerance and disrespect of Tiger Woods being of some other religion is pretty apparent. Bigots like this are very fortunate we have freedom in this country.

[JelloSka]

46. But Bill Clinton was Christian and wingnuts wanted him crucified

hypocrites.

[burning rain]

49. What a brainfart, & an embarrassment for a supposed journalist.

But Hume does refer to an identifiable phenomenon in American culture: professing a religious epiphany so as to regain lost standing. Prisoners in the hoosegow do it, and so do politicians. It adds an extra touch of "authenticity" (tm) if your epiphany includes conversion to a different sect of Christianity, preferably one stricter than the one you were brought up in, or a different severe religion altogether.

[femrap]

50. Brit Hume hasn't had an original thought

ever. He just says what his boss tells him to say.

[bkohatlanta]

51. Catholic ArchBishop Tobin of Rhode island

Told us Freedom of Religion isn't to protect we, the people, from Religios persecution. So, he engages in religious persecution. Catholics in Government aren't supposed to represent we, the people, they are supposed to follow orders from the Fuhrer, Savranola XVI.
Freedom isn't what you let yourself do, that is license. Freedom is what you allow the people who disagree with you do.

[DutchLiberal]

53. Just like drunk-driving, coke-snorting George Bush was forgiven?

Oh yeah, he became a good Christian!

And you know what? I simply don't see why everybody suddenly has an opinion about Tiger Woods. I mean,what has happened to him should be a matter between him and his wife, and between them only. It shouldn't be discussed in the media. But since it is, I'll just say I wouldn't blame his wife for leaving him. On the other hand, I can understand that if you are in the position to get 13 women in your bed, you're going to do it!

[PatrynXX]

54. Hey, wonder if Jesus forgave Hitler?

Hitler supposedly was Christian...

and KKK's core is a Christian mentality.... and the Neo Nazi's same thing.

The Monks probably don't appreciate it anyway.

X_X

[varelse]

56. Who is Brit Hume?

Is this something I am missing out on because I don't watch TV or have cable? :shrug:

[husky92]

57. Moron

Who the hell is Britt Hume of all people to give advice to Tiger Woods. Playing to the conservatives with his Christianity BS. Yeah, Tiger will find god and quit chasing with every bimbo under the sun? Get real Hume. You have no clue and the worst thing is someone gave you a forum to push your foolish agenda. Thank god he's not on the air too much anymore.

[CLANG]

58. You think you've seen everything and then something like this happens!

Brit Hume had no credibility with me before this, but now he's in negative territory!:puke:

[Tabasco_Dave]

61. KISS MY BUDDHIST ASS BRIT!

WHY DON"T YOU EAT SOME EXLAX AND TAKE A SHIT, SO YOU CAN GET THAT CONSTIPATED LOOK OFF YOUR SOUR OLD FACE.:mad:

[sheldon]

63. Are we really this retarded?

Ouch. Why do people like this represent us?
How is it that the media focuses and revels in horribly ignorant and vile characters?
Is there any hope for a nation of idiots glued to tv sets?

[Enthusiast]

64. After that remark Hume should

be the one seeking redemption. What a complete ass! Buddhism is as worthy as Christianity. He is simply too fucking stupid to know that.

[Ganja Ninja]

67. Why should he convert to Christianity?

Can't he just fake it like a Republican?

[demi moore]

68. if jesus returned

the christians would crucify him.

[handmade34]

69. if (when) Jesus returned

the Christians wouldn't know him

Brit Hume is an ass

[proud2BlibKansan]

70. There's no concept of forgiveness in Buddhism?

[hmorehead]

73. "forgive my trespasses as I forgive those who trespass" doesn't say Christian only anywhere.

Christ forgave everybody.

[Holy Moly]

74. He Forgave Hitler

Yeah, my minister told me the big spook in the sky
even forgave Hitler, Pol Pot, and Jeffrey Dahmer,
so Tiger's got nuttin ta worry about.

[hmorehead]

78. Jebus told us to forgive erveryone.

[L. Coyote]

77. So this is where the center of the universe meets the road

maybe he should be taken seriously :rofl: and forgiven :rofl:
