Kelly's off the cuff remark was trying to praise Tiger's greatness.

She meant that the only way to beat him was to keep him from playing.

She used a very poor choice of words with no malice intended and the pc word police attacked without mercy.

Any slip of the tongue and you may be fired, sued or hell, just lynched in the alley.

Where were alsharpton and jimbrown when Robert KKK Byrd said," nigger" three times on National TV?

Upon Dunham's divorce from Lolo she sent 10-year-old Barack to live with her parents in Honolulu, while she and his half-sister stayed in Indonesia.

Dunham would remain in Indonesia until her death in 1995 from cancer.
 


Obama would  describe his grandparents, the people who raised him, as "white folk."

"Should he want to take a position on every political or racial controversy under the sun, Woods is perfectly within his rights to do so. Should he choose to remain completely and totally apolitical, he has every right to do that as well."

And should Tiger decide not to adopt the policies of Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, et al, that's a good thing and that's his right.

One of the reasons that Tiger is loved by so many, including many who hate golf, is that he is the best in the world at what he does, and he sticks to what he does. He doesn't get involved with such nonsense as what some anchor said, or supporting a candidate for X office, or lending his support for Cause A that is the flavor of the month.

He sticks to golf and crushing all who take him on.

I keep asking myself, “what would Phil do?”

Choke?

I dont recall Tiger ever saying he was black.

Tiger hsa said he resents being called black. His mother is from Thailand and referring to him as black implies to him that his mom never existed.

It gets better. Woods was once asked if he felt a responsibility to be a role model for back children. He said he had to be a role model for all children. To me, his finest hour. If he never won a golf tournament again I would revere him for that one, principled comment.

I work inside sports and hear from persons in the know that Tiger is the real deal, a good man.

Silver is a typical clueless lib, but he has managed to glean a speck of truth about the situation. Why indeed should Tiger Woods be obliged to spout off about “social justice”? I realize that hard-core libs live to promote “social justice” issues. Manufacturing controversy about Tilghman’s ill-chosen remarks is a prime example. The ultimate goal for all the libs is of course to replace all current non-poltical tv people with ardent social justice activists. Which is why Bryant Gumbel has a tv show.

Phil has yet to recover from the Debacle at Winged Foot when he self-destructed on the seventy-second hole of the 2006 US Open, taking a double-bogey when a par would have won him the tournament (and it would have been his third major in a row)or a bogey would have put him in a playoff. I don’t know if he’ll ever recover from that. And frankly comparisons between him and Tiger are ridiculous: Tiger has thirteen majors to Phil’s three. ‘Nough said.

ROTFLMAO! How true! And those idiots on NFL Network had him do play-by-play. Guess they weren't interested in having an audience.

The Sharpton/Brown approach is evidently inconsistent with Tiger’s values.

Filial ingratitude is unbecoming to one who seeks the highest office of our land.

This conduct on Obama's part set up a pattern of behaviors in his life where treason is an acceptable price to pay in decision making. Biting the hand that feeds you is "OK."

This is the behavior pattern of a future traitor of the American people, justified by the double illusion that "black blood is thicker than white water" Obama is as much white as he is black.

Thus Obamas adult life is based on a false premise which is essentially racist.

I will never vote for any racist who runs for public office.

Nor should the American people.

If he disowns his own white family, imagine how he’ll disown the whites silly enough to vote for him.

"All us chilluns need ta stayund up and deny the dirty white trash blood we gots a runnin in our veins!"

Tiger woods is my hero.

100% American.

And he married a hell of a looker!

Photobucket

Which I believe bothers black nationalists , like Oprah Winfrey , to no end.
