Brit Hume went on air on the Factor recently and said that Tiger Woods should be convert to Christianity to deal with his problems. To the right wing readers, this is the perfect example showing how far right FOX News is and why they do not get it that people are pist off with them…

Before I go on further, I would have to declare that I am an Asian American, am born a Buddhist though I do not practice it much. I am taking what Brit Hume say very personally and am rather pist off that he can get away with it as though it is okay. I also never knew that Tiger Woods is a Buddhist.

Firstly, I really think that Brit Hume should go and read up about Buddhism more. Forgiveness is part of Karma. It is called Metta. That is why Buddhists do not seek revenge, we let Karma do that. Forgiving and forgetting is part of our religion.

I really take offense to the words of Brit Hume who claimed that if you do wrong, you can just convert to Christianity and all would be well. He should have also noted that Tiger Woods was also a Buddhist when he won major after major.

Other races and religion really do not like it when you guys do that. The other religious group that does this a lot are the Muslims. Both often say, “ Islam/Christianity is the true religion,” or “Only Christians/Muslims would go to heaven.”

Why can’t they be like the the Jews? Both Islam and Christianity originate from Judaism and have Jewish Prophets in their religion, so why can’t they live their own life like the Jews do. The Jews do not come up to people and force their ideologies and religion on others.

I am not saying that all Christians are like that. A vast majority in fact are okay. They do not preach. But it is the leaders like Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson and now Brit Hume that really has this condescending message of Christian superiority.

The next point is this : How in the blue world is FOX News oblivious to the message? Should Brit Hume be fired or at least suspended for saying things like that? Why O’Reilly did you not cut his microphone off this time or screaming your head off? The answer is very simple, it is because they are from the right wing, so they would not get it.

Now you know why the Republican party have few non-White supporters? They are oblivious to the sensitivities of other colors and faiths. A normal station like PBS or CNN would have definitely taken action against their staff if they had said something half as bad as Brit Hume said.

Can you imagine if a Muslim were to come out and say that all would be okay if Governor Sanford converted to Islam? Wait a minute is that what Osama Bin Laden always told President Bush? What if a Hindu were to tell Governor Elliot Spitzer that all would be okay if he converted to Hinduism?

Come on man! We are living in America, a melting pot, a secular nation where we do not care what you believe in or the color of your skin. Please have some sensitivities to one another…

Okay, it is somewhat of a concern that a couple can get so close with the President and the Vice President when they should not have been so. But does it really warrant a congressional hearing? Is this really something that should be in focus?

Yes, it is really worrisome that the Secret Service can screw up so badly. They could allow a couple to just slip in and be near the President. I know that this is going to sound bad, but with a name like Tareq Salahi, which sounds Middle Eastern,shouldn’t this be even more alarming?

If the Government cannot protect the President, how can they protect us? Have the government and other agencies, forgotten about 9/11? Are they sleeping on issues when they come to security? These are some questions that we should be asking as citizens.

That being said, this is really blown out of proportions. For one, it should be an internal issue. It should be an issue between the White House and the Secret Services. Why should we be wasting Congress‘ time on this? Is this what the Constitution states, is this what they are suppose to do; nanny the Secret Service? What next? Are they going to tell the Generals and the Admirals what to do on the battlefield as well?

Come on! This is nothing but an outright publicity stunt by the Salahis. The couple wants to be on a reality television show. The case should not be treated differently from the balloon boy saga, where the couple too want to get their family on a reality program.

So why are the politicians on this story? Simple, they want to get media attention! They are nothing but media whores. This would not be bad publicity for them. It is harmless publicity. But it makes them feel important when they jump on crappy stories like this.

This makes me so mad! We have tons of issues to take care of. Right now, we are shelving talk about illegal immigration and the environment. The excuse from Congress is that they do not have a time, with the economy, the wars and health care being their main concern.

I am sorry, if the Congress does not have time to complete nominations appointments this year, they should not have the time to carry out a publicity stunt like this. It is not a bloody circus. The Congress is suppose to be representing the people, not be the whores of the press.

This is yet another example of why the media in our country is so bad. How many of them would highlight the fact that despite being painted as a far left thinking, 60% of Americans still want the public option? I am one of the 57% of the Independents that want the public option. I have yet to hear it on the news channels. Only the 4 real news media that I point out, AP, AFP, Reuters and C-Span that report this. No, they rather talk about this, Tiger Woods and balloon boy!

As this article is being published, congressional hearing to crashgate has just ended. And sorry it was just a waste out time. And a waste of our money. This is something that need to be fixed, and it needs to be fixed ASAP.
