I’m betting that if Tebow were a  vocal pro-choice atheist he would not be getting the attention he is getting.  And, chances are he would not be the starting QB for Denver.

The problem isn’t that the media is too focused on Tim Tebow’s religion; the real problem is that the media is focusing too much on Tim Tebow.

” e. Zirin admitted it was uncomfortable to see Tebow getting a pass while staging himself on the “right-wing edge of Evangelical politics.”

This idiot makes no sense and has no idea what he’s talking about. He’s a typical radical lefty reactionary. Tebow doesn’t discuss politics. The ad starred his mom and she shared her story. Good forbid. But, we all know how liberals absolutely hate people who’s views stray from those of the radical left. If only she would have aborted her son, she’d be a left wing hero.

Maybe so, given the high coincidence of football with serious brain injury. There’s no question that belief in the flying spaghetti monster is particularly strong among the brain injured.

Klutzy Kurtz has a vapid, vacuous, vacant stare.  Does he run on battery pack, or the old-fashioned wind-up key?

I just love how his success drives the media up the wall.

New drinking game: Drink every time a Jew on TV criticizes Tebow!

Yawwwwwn. Crazy left wingers just need to come out and be honest that they are anti-God, and that they cannot tolerate dissent within their constipated thought process. Tebow drove them completely over the deep end by being pro-life instead of espousing the joys of baby killing. Turn the channel, go drink a latte, get a life.

It’s all ESPN’s fault.

honestly, who cares about tebow. I don’t understand how he is so much more hated than michael vick or ben roethlistberger both of whom have been involved in some of the lowest forms of human behavior. 

Oh my… his father and him are proud of going to the Philippines to circumcise the kids over there.

This is some seriously scary sh*t!

It does seem the people that defended Michael Vick are the ones criticizing Tebow.

This is just another example of Mediaite’s fascination with all things left and it’s willingness to promote lies and disingenuous stories which align with the left’s distorted perspective…

Zirin goes unchallenged as he portrays Tebow as being a political activist, which is untrue. Tebow being a devote christian does support the right to life and given his personal story one may conclude that he has a good reason for his position.  As far a Zirin’s lies about Tebow’s spending his summers in the Philippines circumsizing children in the name of his faith…  maybe he should consider being more honest when speaking to the public….  but no as a liberal he finds it more effective to lie and slander those with whom he does not agree. Mediaite is becoming a joke in the manner it covers the daily headlines… Abrams should be ashamed.

“The Tim Tebow Foundation and CURE International have announced plans to build a children’s hospital in the Philippines — the country where Tebow, the starting quarterback for the Denver Broncos and a Heisman Trophy winner at the University of Florida, was born.

The Tebow CURE Hospital in Davao City will be a 30-bed surgical facility focusing primarily on orthopedics. The groundbreaking will be held in January 2012 and the hospital is expected to open in mid-2013.”

The question is, ‘is Tim Tebow Too Focused On Religion?’… ans. “Yes”…

“My Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ” doesn’t care if the Denver Broncos win or not.

LOL Tim Tebow agrees with you and has publicly stated the same…  it would be nice if people knew what they were talking about instead of just criticizing that of which they have no knowledge.  

CNN’s Howard Kurtz: Is Media Coverage Of Tim Tebow Too Focused On Religion?

Ya think?

i think what those people really hate is success, something which michael vick and the “dream team” eagles haven’t experienced this season. 

So, filming an anti-abortion ad for Focus on the Family and airing it during the Super Bowl is NOT POLITICAL?
LOL

Oh! The hypocrisy of the left is mind numbing.

If you were to watch the ad the word abortion does not appear in the ad, it talks about the difficulty of the pregnancy the doctors advice to the mother, and celebrates Tebow’s life…  

Since when do we silence speech in this country anyway?  Where is your defense of the 1st amendment? Tebow was not apart of the NFL when that ad was made and aired. So what is your complaint?

What is it with you and the Jews?

And your point is???

and if tebow had, instead of being an outspoken christian was a muslim and every time he scored a touchdown would drop to his knees, facing in the direction of mecca while saying  ’as salamu alaikum’.  all the bigots on the right would be screaming at the top of their lungs.

you don’t see julian edleman doing the dradle dance after he scores a touchdow.  does tebow bring a football with him to church and play catch while they’re singing a hyme?  c’mon man, a little respect for the game of football.

and the crazy thing is they still have a chance to make the playoffs.

I guess you all know that it is the media’s fault with all of the Tebow’s stuff.  As a matter of fact the media is to blame for most of the crazy stories that all of us could do without. 

Although after a little thought what would all of us crazies do with our time.  Maybe we might do something productive.

Just saying!

What is it with people in the media and hating on Tebow.

Michael Vick didn’t do a dogfighting dance in the endzone when he scored a touchdown either. Can you make your analogies in the same ballpark?

He was espousing a conservative Christian viewpoint on the politics of abortion. How is that not politics, lonestar?

The lefty, I mean, the non-extreme right sports writer was not endorsing any left leaning political views. He was saying that there is no way the NFL would let them do it. There are no pro-life ads sanctioned by the NFL. No atheism ads. Only this right-wing Dobson-esque view of politics is on.

You really went off-topic. Just because the word “abortion” is not mentioned in the ad does not remotely mean it is not about abortion. Everyone knows that it is. What a fist-face-punchingly stupid attempt at a deflection!

I don’t know how old you are or which generation you belong to, but have you heard of the name Muhammad Ali?

Deciding not to abort your own baby, as Tebow’s Mom did, is not espousing a conservative Christian viewpoint.  It’s espousing a “I didn’t kill my kid, now look at him viewpoint”.  I’m not sure if you now the story but it’s a miracle that he was even born.  That’s what the ad was about.  

Yes, Tebow’s a little over the top and naturally the media is all sugared up over it. The real question is how the media would react if Tebow or any other high profile athlete started each interview by giving thanks to Allah.

I had a scathing comment, but the Disquss censors got to it first. Oh well.  Basically what I said was Tebow is over rated, if he wan anything but an Anglo-Saxon Khristian he wouldn’t be getting any run and lastly, if he were “Black” he would’ve been converted to another position, which is what the league normally does to “Black” quarterbacks

Says a lot about some folks when an obviously and  ridiculously high-character person like Tim is controversial in their eyes- reminds of the famous Twilight Zone where doctors and nurses remove the bandages of a plastic surgery patient to reveal the beautiful Donna Douglas, yet they recoil in horror believing that the surgery failed as the camera reveals the ugly and distorted appearance of the doctors and nurses.

The subject is not what Tim Tebow’s mom decided. The subject is putting their personal decision up as an ad during an NFL game. Similarly there is nothing wrong with Tebow praying, him taking time out during a spectator sport is out of balance.

Why can’t you see stright on this? You repeatedly miss the point. Is it willful? Do you refuse to stay on topic?

So we have to listen to celeb after celeb spew their points of view (which tend to go left) and it’s no big deal. But Tim T. loves God and it gets under everyones skin. Hmmm. Just weird. Now don’t get me wrong the right complain all the time about the nutty celebs on the left. But thats because on the national celeb stage we are outnumbered 100 to 1.

This guy talks the talk and walks the walk and it drives people crazy.

As far as focus on the family goes well I also have a family member who was told she shoud terminate her pregnancy because she was going to have a deformed mentally challenged boy. She is very pro life and did not do it and had a healthy Baby girl. Now this was 20 + years ago and I know that medicine is much more advance but I still find it to be a great story. I also find it strange that some in society (in this case the Dr.) seem to think that a mentally challenged person has less of a right to exist then a healthy one.

Zirin’s a hypocrite. He makes an argument that Tebow’s commercial was inappropriate because it was political; then when Kurtz pointed out that if Tebow had starred in a pro-abortion commercial, Zirin would be celebrating him, Zirin acknowledged that was true.

Whatever happened to Rick Sanchez?

Careful, bensanity, someone might call you an anti-semite!

Crickets. There have been many black athletes with names like “Plexiglass Omar Mohammed” who have refused to even stand for the national anthem. Shit, look how Mohammed Ali has been worshipped by (primarily jewish) journalists. The guy for years espoused a black muslim ideology which was pure racism of the kookiest kind. To the best of my knowledge, unlike Malcolm X who explicitly rejected those racist ideas (and for which Ali basically denounced him), Ali never disavowed those racist views.  He also said that black men who married white women should be killed. Nevertheless he is a BELOVED figure on the left.

I wonder how many hospitals the Zirin Foundation has built. Or the Nation magazine, for that matter.

I watched the Inside the NFL piece, with Tebow miked for a game. I found his non-stop chanting of hymns off putting and disingeuous. How can u have a thought in your head if you do that all day?

I don’t buy his program. Everything that comes out of his mouth is superficial. He’s a totally uninteresting human being. I think that’s what a lot of people can’t stand, this strange attraction to mediocrity by the press and the public.

I pray sometime during the day, but I don’t have to get on my knees to do it.  I hope this guy is as holy as he makes off.  He may be due for a fall.

Your claims are lies about Ali one of the greatest boxers to ever live. He never said anything like that Black man should be killed that is out right slander on Ali you really should watch movie Ali which is a pretty movie staring Will Smith. Ali stood up and didn’t want go to war that he didn’t believe in which was a good thing. Ali is beloved on right as well.

I think media talks too much about Tebow’s faith not so much on ESPN or NFL Network. Too much on Fox News enough about Tebow’s faith I thought that Tebow’s run was going to end soon and I believer in Tebow magic & Tebow Time Broncos D kept them in the game in must of 7 game wining streak. I like Tim Tebow alright QB will not pass 300 or 400 yards a lot just enough to win.

I just fired up my DVR to watch Sunday’s Reliable Sources.

I sat aghast with my jaw dropping at the frequent confirmation that not only is Howard Kurtz a Republican, but he is apparently a Newt Gingrich supporter.

I thought more of him as a moderate (or establishment) Republican. But it turns out he is a borderline Tea Party conservative. No wonder he is such an apologist for Fox News on occasion.

Perhaps you should follow your own advice, sparkie. As evidenced by this clip below, Tebow thanks his “Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ” and his teammates (whom he should REALLY thank) for a Denver victory.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCEAi61lYgE

And I say again, sport, “Jesus Christ doesn’t care if the Denver Broncos win or not.”

I think you are.

Except for the fact that Atheists don’t believe the FSM actually exists.  Here’s a clue to the brain deficient…… it’s a mockery.  Of the unsupportable benighted actual proclaimed christian belief in invisible, imaginary, incorporeal, immaterial, intangible god figment zombie sky daddies that cannot be shown to exist outside the imagination of religion demented minds.

And Tebow won’t last long as the worst statistical passer in the NFL next year when the Broncos don’t have the advantage of playing against a losers schedule.  If they make the playoffs, the majority of their non division games will be played against teams with winning records.  Which as Tebow showed against the Pats, he get pounded and exposed like the village idiot.

Tebow’s ad was produced by James Dobson’s christian political group Focus on the Family.  Who not only lobby to legislate their faux xtian morals denying lawfully legal abortion.  But also promote their vexatious hatred and bigotry in political and public campaign viciously attacking gays as vile and sinful.  And also prejudicially working to deny their civil rights legislatively.

What makes you think that a person’s race should have any bearing on Tebow’s criticism? 

Tim Tebow and his father through their religious organization both claim that their version of christianity is the only true one, the only salvation and the only way to escape eternal punishment in a burning hell.  And I agree, that is just as crazy and unsupportable as Ali’s religion.

Vick’s animal abuse and Tebow’s demand of public promulgation regarding his imaginary god figments are non related.  And both worthy of extreme criticism. 

Tebow had a microphone strapped to him during the Bears game.  He repeatedly thanked jesus for good plays on the field.  He told his receivers to believe that god told him that he would make it so they can catch his passes.

Tebow is lying about his belief that god does not care and interacts in his favor on the  football field.  Try to learn some facts before you speak in such ignorance and define yourself an absolute fool. 

Ali’s god concoction religion is just as imaginary, unsupportable, unprovable and crazy as Tebow’s. 

Making such an overt public display of talking to imaginary friends is not high character in any fashion.  It is delusional.

Here’s a clue for ya.  The so called “right to life” movement is a political action to deny the legal right to abortion.  You might want to lie and slander a tad less.

The Philippines are 95% christian.  Tebow and his father’s foundation state that they are preaching the “truth” there because no one has heard it.  Historically, religious sects fighting and arguing over who are the true christians and has the real god; always leads to horrendous event.

I feel sorry for those little orphan boys whose genitals Tebow is mutilating for jesus as the bible commands their religious medical facilities.

Like most religionists, Tebow is an arrogant self exalting hypocrite.  When he scored a touchdown, he said “thank you jesus”.  Like his invisible friend made it so he could score. When Charles Tillman intercepted his pass with a great play, he told Tillman it was luck. 

Like he believes he is so superior to Tillman that god will only choose him to bless.  And Tillman was just plain lucky.  What a bombastic purely vexing Pharisee. 

Actually, Tebow is lying in both case.  Jesus does not help him score touchdowns.  And Tillman did not intercept him by luck.  Events in the real world occur only by the efforts of entities that actually exist. 

And neither jesus nor the concept of luck can make such claim.  Only entities that can be shown to exist, can enact plays on a football field.  That is human players who must go make the plays.  Depend on imaginary god figments or luck to affect actions, and you’ll be slinking off to the Philippines quicker than a dropped bad habit.

waaaaaaaahooooooooo !!! You go Ken!!!!
