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!
Damn right I am...For Brit to take a situation, of none of his business, and suggest to Tiger that he need to come to Christ to get right with the world.

If Brit really felt a momment of Christian charity and ministry...then he should have reached out privately to Tiger...Man to Man. Instead Brit offers his hand as a part of a television show....Please.

Truly Im fighting Tigers fight, because if I were Tiger, Id be looking for Brit on the Streets of NY...

I think this comment further indicts Fox as a biased media source that caters to not just conservatives but Evangelicals. I'm a centrist Republican and an admirer of Fox News but I will admit that I am turned off by this comment and it has changed my view of Fox. He is a journalist and for him to belittle a faith that he has little knowledge of in favor of Christianity is ridiculous. This is an embarrassment to Fox.

And before people jump on my case, ask yourself this, if Sanjay Gupta claimed that Dick Cheney's Evangelical Christian faith led to his heart disease because Christianity doesn't espouse peace as well as Hinduism, how would you react? We know how you would react. There would be a thread about this and all the right wing conservatives would be blasting him for it.

All I ask is that you be fair about this. It's pretty obvious his comment was uncalled for regardless if you are an Evangelical or Christian. But of course, the partisan gamesmanship will require that all conservatives disagree with me because they have to protect their "team"

It might be Hume's right to make those type of comments. And Fox is entitled to govern itself but Fox should know that comments like that is going to lose watchers like myself who are conservatives but not necessarily Evangelicals.

Do you only listen/watch programs with which you agree on everything?


I watch Fox, and I don't agree with everything, nor do I expect them to mirror all my views in order to favor them with my time and attention.

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
Good shot!

Did he have to use the word "MUST" to convey that concept because I certainly received the impression he was saying Tiger needed to turn to Christianity. Hume is also a journalist and it is his job to research his opinions. Hume also suggested he knows little about Buddhism but that didn't stop him from judging it as a faith. Making an uneducated and uninformed opinion regarding Buddhism shows his lack of professionalism.
