So, two days ago, Brit Hume turned a round table of sports picks on Fox News into the 700 Club by going on national television and telling Tiger Woods that the only way that he'll find forgiveness is to abandon Buddhism and become Christian:
That was two days ago. Other than the occasional mention in the blogosphere (and three or four revisits by Andrew Sullivan), I haven't seen or heard anything about this in the mainstream media. Where is the outrage? Where is the call for boycott of advertisers? Why aren't there advertisers dropping from Fox News? Is this something that has come to be expected from them? If Tiger were Muslim, or Jewish, would that have made a difference? Am I not giving it enough time? This is ridiculous!
38, queer, poly, happily married punk and stay at home dad to my five-year-old, Elle. In June of 2009, I was diagnosed with Tourette's Syndrome, and PTSD a month later. I have been on disability since. In recent months, I have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia,Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Sjogren's Syndrome, a Chiari malformation, small fiber neuropathy, Type 1 Diabetes, and have a massive benign cyst in my brain. And, to top it all off, I was diagnosed with lupus in March of 2014.
I haven't been writing as often as I would like to lately. Trying to catch up on some lost time. Please forgive me.
I'm an anarchist and an atheist. My political views are too far left to even be considered Democrat. I believe that marriage and health care are fundamental human rights. And don't get me started on people calling themselves "pro-life", and denying education and food stamps to children.
