Brit Hume To Enter No-Spin Zone Tonight Over Tiger Woods Christianity Comment

» 7 comments

Mediaite has learned Brit Hume will address his comment about Tiger Woods made on FOX News Sunday tonight as it continues to gain traction online and on TV.

Hume will further discuss his comments about Woods on The O’Reilly Factor at 8pmET.

Hume will talk about several stories in the news right now – including his Woods comment. This was the main part of Hume’s comment that got so much attention:

He’s said to be a Buddhist, I don’t think that faith offers the kind of forgiveness and redemption that is offered by the Christian faith, so my message to Tiger would be “Tiger, turn to the Christian faith, and you can make a total recovery and be a great example to the world.”

It has drawn big reaction on Twitter – from Ana Marie Cox and her nearly 1.5 million followers to actress Elizabeth Banks. MSNBC covered the story today as well on air.

Addressing the story on Fox News’ top-rated show gives Hume the chance to clarify, or at the very least expand on, his original comments, to an audience that will give it its widest circulation. Will Bill O’Reilly press him at all? You’ll have to tune in to find out (or read Mediaite)…

Here’s the clip from yesterday.

    Not to pat myself on the back, but I think I laid it out rather eloquently in my prior post in regards to this story…

    My self-delusional-fairytale-for-everlasting-life is better than your self-delusional-fairytale-for-everlasting-life. You religious people sure are a hoot. God help us all.

    Right. My religion tops your religion in tolerance because your religion is not as good as my religion. This from the same people that insist on shoving their religious values down everyone’s throats.

    Sounds like Hume is now channeling Coulter: “Christians are perfected Jews.”

    Think any of these self proclaimed Christians has ever read the actual words of their actual bible?

    ANY Right-Thinking American knows that CHRISTIANITY is the ONLY way to salvation … there are plenty of GREAT CHRISTIANS who have transgressed in the past (Larry Craig, John Ensign, David Vitter, Mark Sanford, Ted Haggard), but their faith in JESUS makes everything better!!1 Thank GOD that the good people at FOX NEWS The Most Powerful Name in News have the COURAGE to tell us which religion is RIGHT!!1 And it isn’t the FIRST TIME, either!

    Snooki’s Been Arrested! In Other News: Season Three Has Its Hook!

    Breaking news (or a Friday in the middle of the summer's version of breaking news)!
