Calling Out Tiger Woods

[Loud Mime]

Panicky loudmouth journalists trying to create another story, another sensation?

[Izzy Dunne]

Al Sharpton approached the situation with his usual class

Guffaw.

[freekitty]

Exactly.

[JohnRam]

Come on Tiger mover to florida just to get away from state taxes. I really don’t see him endorsing a liberal. Even if that liberal is....uhh Black

[Puppage]

Al Sharpton approached the situation with his usual class

Yeah, LOW

[TommyDale]

Tiger Woods obviously doesn’t carry the chip on the shoulder that Jim Brown does.

[Long Island Pete]

I dont recall Tiger ever saying he was black.

[Izzy Dunne]

The point here seems to be that everyone else agrees that Tiger should speak up and be offended and denounce the racist imperialist running dogs that dominate TV sports, and whether or not Tiger has the obligation to do so.

No one (except maybe Tiger Woods himself) seems to be willing to consider the possibility that it was a poor choice of words by a person speaking on-the-fly, and the best course of action is to ignore it.

To allow the usual race pimps to dredge up the usual rhetoric is to play the same old game with the same old outcome.

Maybe Tiger Woods is smarter than that.

[george76]

This is another example of Tiger’s class.

Tiger is not weak minded to fall into the race baiting trap.

Oprah tried the same trick.

Tiger then said he was an American. Not a hybrid.

Tiger was not going to disrespect his mother either.

Oprah was mad.

[onedoug]

Gee, I was fully aware of this, enjoy golf and had become completely oblivious to it.

[Wil H]

Jim Brown called out Tiger Woods for failing to speak out right away about the comments, and for waiting until it was “politically correct” to say something.

Isn't Woods a golfer?

[MinuteGal]

The liberal writer gives himself away in the last paragraph forcing me to read the whole article first.

These lefties DO have their little wily tricks, don't they.

[1Old Pro]

Woods should stay out of politics. As far as th woman, I think he handled that quickly and said no prob, the magazine felt a suspension was in order and that was out of tiger’s hands.

As far as endorsing Obama, that’s a laugh, most golfers are conservative republicans and if tiger were a elitist lib I’d prefer not to know.

[MuttTheHoople]

Why would an Asian-American like Tiger woods be upset at race-baiting about black people? After all, he has more Thai and Indian (Feather, not dot) blood in him than he has African.

[opus86]

I marvel at the race-baiting leftists, dictating to Tiger Woods how he is supposed to feel and act as a black guy.

[Right Cal Gal]

“Maybe Tiger Woods is smarter than that.”

No maybe about it. Tiger lets his actions speak louder than words.

And by the way, Al - have you apologized to the police officers you slandered during the Tawana Brawley fraud or paid any of that judgment you owe? Yeah, I didn’t think so. But you keep that hypocritical a$$ of yours busy pointing out fault in others.

[Enterprise]

It was an unfortunate choice of words - period. However, the mistake she made was not putting her words into something acceptable - rap.

Da bitches and the hos
And even Tiger knows
He better than the rest
He be the all time best

His homeys aint too happy
But he got a lot of class
So they gotta take him out back
And put a cap in his ass

Ya fillin' me dog?

[Dixie Yooper]

If any of you bothered to watch Tiger play golf the last four days, you would know that there is only one thing on his mind. GOLF.
