I thought Fox was only a Republican network. Now it seems it is a right wing Christian Republican network.

Daily Show had a couple of funny segments on the nutty Hume:
The Daily Show: The Temple of Hume Video

Video: The Best F**king News Team Ever - Tiger Woods' Faith | The Daily Show | Comedy Central

I don't think he is saying that at all. I think he was pointing out that the Christian faith, through Jesus, offers forgiveness to sinners whereas the same may not be true in the Buddist faith.

I really don't think anything was inferred as far as "superiority" by Hume but rather a pointing out the "differences". Those who were offended, in my opinion, are being silly and likely get offended whenever Christianity is mentioned in public.

Where Tiger gets his forgiveness, and whether he is forgiven, is really between Tiger, his wife, and his children, IMO. None of us has any influence on spirtual forgiveness so the whole part of making a mountain out of a mole hill on Hume's remarks are just silly.

Why would anyone think something coming from fox, not news, really matters?
Fox is RIGHT WING PROPAGANDA.
Since it is, they should realize, but do not, that what a person does is their own life is their business, and people should refrain from saying such garbage about being forgiven.
Woods has made his bed, as bad as it might be, and is, and will pay for his mistakes.
Fox doesn't need to throw gas onto the fire, which is what they're good at.
Hume shoulda been a catholic priest instead of a mouth.

Fair and balanced, my ass. Putting your opinion into a news story basically negates that whole slogan.

Everybody has a right to thier opinion, but I can care less to hear it!

What Brit fails to say is that...untill now, there is no crime commited, no aligations made by his wife, no proof of any wrong doing by anyone.

We all think we know what is going on, but todate Tiger or his wife havent filled me in. And I bet they didnt call Brit and give him the 411.

So what do I know, I know Brit is talking out the side of his ...mouth. He knows as much a you do, or I do in regards to Tiger's plight...and thats NOTHING.

Do you think Chris Matthews, Katie Courek, Anderson Cooper, Keith Obermann, and other in the MSM know this?

Tiger himself stated that he has transgressed. That really is all that is needed to see that he knows he needs forgiveness and healing. We don't need to judge, but we can show him the way to that -- the way that we know from experience works. There's no harm in that, and comes from a heart of caring. That's what Brit showed. You all are making way too much of this.

However, Brit also said something that has been glossed over: whenever Christ is mentioned, there's a huge outpouring of hate and ridicule from many. It's the name of Jesus Christ that brings this on. There's just something about that name!

Lightbulb Here's My Take On This...

I had a chance to see, and hear, all of the sound bites and video concerning the whole Brit Hume matter...

I don't have a problem with Christians, Christianity, people uttering the Lord's name (LOL...as many times as I may have taken it in vain), etc...

Where I DO have a problem, is that a 'senior political analyst' on a major cable network, took it upon himself to offer a 'faith-based' solution to someone else's problems on TV, and took a swipe at that person's (professed/alleged) faith to boot---and that shouldn't have been his call...

If I, or anyone else, wants to come to the Christian faith, then we should be able to do so of our own accord, with an open mind and heart, without being told that we're 'godless' or that we're going to hell because we don't cut the crust off our tuna-fish sandwiches, or wear white after Labor Day...

In short, don't try to shove your faith down my throat, and then get mad when you trigger my gag reflex
