To Britt Hume



I asked God for a bike,
but I know God doesn’t work that way.

So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness.

3. People are used to supposedly pious Christian men asking forgiveness while crying on tv.
They wouldn't know what to do with a Buddhist who went on like that.

4. Ah - Republicon 'Family Values' in a nutshell
Republicon propaganda pimps like Hume just suck up all the morality on the planet and excete philosophical perversity.

And they manage to act like pompous asses while doing it.

5. I spoke about Hume on my radio show.
He should apologize. I talked about this on my FM show. Please support up-and-coming progressive radio hosts. Leave me feedback, spread the word of the show.

13. A Buddhists would say he has a brain but not a mind.
I bet he wouldn't even get my Zen joke.


Do not speak- unless it improves on silence.

8. That's exactly how they think
Their view of Xtianity is that anything they do will not be judged by man and is between them and their gawd. Vitter is your classic example.

Lovely pic. :hi:

9. Fumes Know The Game He's Playing
This has nothing to do with Tiger...and all about another dog whistle to the right wing. One of their favorite memes is how xtians are being persecuted for openly stating their beliefs. Fumes would loves it to spew gospels and fundie buzzwords and play the martyr...to "prove" his point and also frame Democrats and others as being "non-believers" and thus bad and evil.

Woods made a convenient straw man. I find it interesting that Fumes supposedly found "god" after his son committed suicide...as though this somehow absolves his role in what appears to have been an ugly situation and relationship. By hiding behind the cross, Fumes can wash his hands of any responsibility of this and play holier than thou on the teevee.

A sad excuse for protoplasm. He deserves all the bashing he's getting...but he and his ilk will surely claim this is an attack against "god" rather than a talking head spewing bullshit totally irrelevant to anything but his own agenda and offensive not only to Buddhists but to all who aren't xtian.
