Did you see this video of Fox News anchor Brit Hume recommending that Tiger Woods consider whether Christianity has more to offer someone who needs forgiveness than Budhhism? (H/T Neil Simpson)
Brit Hume is my favorite news media person. Actually he’s the only news anchor I watch when I’m traveling. (I don’t have a TV in my apartment)
The left-wing media responds
Here’s a story from NewsBusters describing how the secular leftists on MSNBC responded to Brit’s words.
Excerpt:
On Monday’s Countdown show, MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann slammed FNC’s Brit Hume for advising Tiger Woods to convert to Christianity while appearing on yesterday’s Fox News Sunday panel, where Hume has regularly appeared for years and contributed his opinions to the discussion in a way that differs from his manner of moderating discussions in a more neutral way when he used to host Special Report with Brit Hume. Although Olbermann later backed away from likening Hume to radical Muslims, during the show’s opening teaser, Olbermann did make such a comparison: “An organization proselytizing, trying to force others to convert to its faith alone, you know, just like Islamic extremists.”
At one point as the Countdown host plugged a segment in which he discussed Hume with author Dan Savage, the words “Hume’s Holy War” were shown at the bottom of the screen as Olbermann spoke: “So Brit Hume tells Tiger Woods he can be forgiven, but only if he converts to Christianity. Fox has given up all pretense, hasn’t it?”
As Olbermann and Savage went on to make fun of Christianity, the MSNBC host at one point quipped: “‘WWJDIHS,’ which is: What would Jesus do if he strayed?” Savage brought up fringe religious figure Fred Phelps, who has become infamous for holding protests at the funerals of American soldiers, and lumped him in with Hume, Pat Robertson and Gary Bauer.
Click through for a partial transcript. This is really revolting stuff, and it shows what Democrats like Olbermann think of Christianity and authentic Christians.
Neil Simpson also noticed that secular leftists were not too thrilled about Brit Hume’s authentic Christian activity in the public square.
Drew also has a post defending Brit Hume on the Drew Blog.

Trying to ‘force’ Woods to convert to Christianity…Sorry did I miss something? When did counsel or advice add up to ‘force’ and radical extremism?

Liberals hate Christianity, It’s always so refreshing to see them come clean about this.
I can’t wait to tune in to MSNBC and watch Olbermann covering the election returns this coming November! I’ll be to sure to buy lots of soda and popcorn for that special event!

In talking to some of my Democrat friends, one of the MAJOR reasons why they used to hate Bush so much is because he believed in the Bible and spoke openly about his faith in God, and he let it affect some of his decisions, such as his strong pro-life stance. The Democrats hated him for that. Just hated him.

Yes, and the funny thing is when you point out how their hatred and anger are validating the very scriptures they constantly attack and rail against, most of the time they cannot help themselves and continue to spew the vitriol.
I call the hatred the anti-God effect and it is a fascinating phenomena to observe. Ironically, it is a powerful proof for the truth of Christianity.

One of the best arguments in favor of Christianity is the fact of our own irrational rebellion against God. And it’s not just a rebellion against God, it’s a rebellion against the very notion of having to compromise in a relationship, and even against the very concept of gratitude and recognition. We need to become very conversant with recognizing what rebellion looks like in others.
For example, when you offer someone a debate DVD and they refuse to watch it because they are too busy for EIGHTY YEARS to spare NINETY MINUTES of their time away from being happy – that’s rebellion. They want to be happy in their own way. It’s just irresponsible and irrational negligence.
