Quoting Flighty (Reply 2): Why not? OJ is a famous athlete, Tiger Woods is a famous athlete. OJ had a big house, Tiger has a big house. OJ was born in California, Tiger was born in California. OJ drove a big SUV on a famous chase, Tiger drove an SUV and hit a tree. OJ Simpson is right handed, Tiger Woods is right handed. |
Quoting JetsGo (Reply 4): Rich, famous, athletic, black guys surrounded by negative media involving a woman |
Quoting FuturePilot16 (Thread starter): I wonder why he would compare Tiger to O.J.? |
Quoting FuturePilot16 (Thread starter): So according to Glenn Beck, is Tiger Woods becoming O.J. Simpson? I wonder why he asks that question? It can't just be because he cheated on his wife multiple times. Numerous Republicans have been caught doing that (Gov. Mark Sanford). I didn't recall Beck calling him O.J. Simpson. Hmmm scratchchin scratchchin , I wonder why he would compare Tiger to O.J.? You guys know what i'm getting at but i'll let you figure it out. Millions of men cheat on their wives every year, does Beck compare them to O.J. Simpson? I don't know look at it for yourself. |
Quoting FuturePilot16 (Reply 5): it should end right there |
Quoting Superfly (Reply 9): Looks like Glenn Beck is a race-baiter. |
Quoting DXing (Reply 11): If so he was wrong to do so, if he was just comparing the kind of women that they date, then the glove fits doesn't it? |
Quoting National757 (Reply 13): Would you say the same about Harry Reid |
Quoting Aaron747 (Reply 14): Reid doesn't make more money by making outlandish statements he may or may not believe |
Quoting National757 (Reply 16): If you're going say Beck's a race-baiter, you have to say it about Reid as well. |
Quoting Aaron747 (Reply 12): Still, regardless of the semantics of it, I stand by his comment being purposefully aimed at generating ratings through an inevitable media discussion. |
Quoting KiwiRob (Reply 15): I don't think it's got anything to do with Tiger being black, Beckham wasn't black and he was crucified in the media for cheating on Posh, same deal famous athlete cheats on wife with minger gets caught media have a field day. I'm sure if someone like Schumacher or Federer was caught cheating on their partner the media would be loving it just as much as they are now enjoying the Tiger hunt. |
Quoting Aaron747 (Reply 17): Never said anything of the sort - just that Beck is a senseless and successful attention-getter in part thanks to his mindless audience and a Pavlovian media. |
Quoting Dreadnought (Reply 20): He looks at the people in charge of our country and asks, where do they come from, what are their beliefs, what connects this person and that person. |
Quoting Dreadnought (Reply 20): He has a tendency to use sarcasm, which seems to be beyond many of you |
Quoting Dreadnought (Reply 20): You are free to say that these relations he points to are meaningless. But isn't it a good thing that he encourages people to question? |
Quoting Dreadnought (Reply 20): He asks good questions. He looks at the people in charge of our country and asks, where do they come from, what are their beliefs, what connects this person and that person. You don't have to believe him. I've caught a few instances where his presentation included mistakes (most of the time he will catch them too and issue a correction the next day). |
Quoting LTBEWR (Reply 19): In the USA, there is the terrible stereotype of black men and especially if they are athletes, of being very sexual, wanting sex with white women and so on. |
Quoting IAirAllie (Reply 7): It couldn't possibly have anything to do with the fact that they are both high profile, big endorsement, top of their field athletes who had legal troubles related to their marital problems. |
Quoting FuturePilot16 (Reply 22): Hmmm, how come he only does those crazy chalkboard conspiracies about left wing politicians? Are they no right wing politicians deserving of his chalkboard fiascoes or is he just biased? |
Quoting Dreadnought (Reply 23): Well, for the past year, that's easy - GOP politicians are irrelevant, and have no power. They don't even have the votes to block anything in the Senate or House. The power lies all with the Democrats, so all eyes are on them. |
Quoting Dreadnought (Reply 20): But isn't it a good thing that he encourages people to question? His motto the past 6 months has been "Question with boldness". Is that not what an educated electorate is required to do, rather than accept what our leaders tell us at face value? |
Quoting Aaron747 (Reply 14): Reid doesn't make more money by making outlandish statements he may or may not believe. |
Quoting Aaron747 (Reply 17): Never said anything of the sort |
Quoting LTBEWR (Reply 19): there is the terrible stereotype of black men |
Quoting LTBEWR (Reply 19): the biggest name Blacks who are athlete celeberty |
Quoting LTBEWR (Reply 19): ne of the first such Black men |
Quoting FuturePilot16 (Reply 22): Why didn't Beck compare him to O.J.? |
Quoting FuturePilot16 (Reply 24): I'd love to hear exactly what he said about Bush (Seriously)? |
Quoting DXing (Reply 11): If Tom Joyner is any represenative of the black community |
Quoting IAirAllie (Reply 27): I think he meant a collective you not you personally. |
Quoting FuturePilot16 (Thread starter): I wonder why he would compare Tiger to O.J.? |
Quoting Superfly (Reply 29): No. I said; "Looks like Glenn Beck is a race-baiter." You have a problem with that? |
Quoting National757 (Reply 16): If you're going say Beck's a race-baiter, you have to say it about Reid as well. |
Quoting Aaron747 (Reply 17): Quoting National757 (Reply 16): If you're going say Beck's a race-baiter, you have to say it about Reid as well. Never said anything of the sort |
Quoting IAirAllie (Reply 27): I think he meant a collective you not you personally. |
Quoting IAirAllie (Reply 27): You didn't but Superfly did. |
Quoting FuturePilot16 (Reply 22): Quoting LTBEWR (Reply 19): In the USA, there is the terrible stereotype of black men and especially if they are athletes, of being very sexual, wanting sex with white women and so on. When I tried to make this point earlier my post was deleted |
Quoting FuturePilot16 (Reply 24): I'd love to hear exactly what he said about Bush (Seriously)? If I find out that he hounded Bush the Bush admin as much as he did the Obama admin, my views would change. I want to see if he made the same ridiculous claims, because there is no evidence of that at this point. |
Quoting IAirAllie (Reply 27): Tiger isn't black at least he does not consider himself to be. "Tiger Woods said he wasn't actually "black" at all -- he was "Cablinasian." |
Quoting Windy95 (Reply 32): You consistantly put down conservative talkshow hosts who you do not watch or listen to. |
Quoting Superfly (Reply 29): Would you consider Glenn Back a representative of the White community? |
Quoting FuturePilot16 (Reply 34): I'm smart, unlike a majority of their audience who sit in their basement armed with 7 guns and thousands of rounds of ammunition listening to these nutjobs. |
Quoting DXing (Reply 35): That doesn't in any way shape or form say he represents any kind of majority of the white community. |
Quoting DXing (Reply 35): You called him a race baiter. If he is then what does that make Joyner whose parody song was much more in depth than Becks comment? |
Quoting IAirAllie (Reply 31): Quoting IAirAllie (Reply 27): You didn't but Superfly did. There was no need to get so nasty and defensive about it. |
Quoting Jetmatt777 (Reply 33): Both were national icons and heroes (so to speak) who ruined their reputation in one way or another. |
Quoting Superfly (Reply 37): Not sure why any of these wives of superstars are so shocked when their superstar husbands sleep around. |
Quoting Superfly (Reply 37): Tiger Woods biggest mistake was getting married in the first place. |
Quoting Jetmatt777 (Reply 38): Because Tiger never walked like a superstar, |
Quoting Jetmatt777 (Reply 38): I have a very bad feeling that he will end up swallowing a pistol |
Quoting Jetmatt777 (Reply 38): No, his biggest mistake was cheating and being unfaithful to his wife. |
Quoting Superfly (Reply 39): Dude, he's a pro-athlete and one of the most prominent golfers. He's a superstar. |
Quoting Superfly (Reply 39): No. His mistake was not remaining a bachelor. |
Quoting Jetmatt777 (Reply 36): I know plenty of people where this is the exact opposite. I think you have tin foil on your head, and that statement proves it. Please present some evidence to support your claims. |
Quoting FuturePilot16 (Thread starter): |
Quoting FuturePilot16 (Reply 41): If you read my post again, I said the MAJORITY of their audience |
Quoting Jetmatt777 (Reply 40): He just never paraded around as one. He seemed to be on top of things, in good control of himself, and generally doing good. |
Quoting Jetmatt777 (Reply 40): losing his family and quite possibly his career |
Quoting Jetmatt777 (Reply 40): He wanted to be with his wife - that's why people marry, or at least it should be. |
Quoting FuturePilot16 (Reply 41): If you read my post again, I said the MAJORITY of their audience, I didn't say everyone who listens to conservative radio is like that. |
Quoting EMBQA (Reply 42): Do you have facts to back up that statement...?? Our can we call it what it really is ... Flamebait... |
Quoting Dreadnought (Reply 20): But isn't it a good thing that he encourages people to question? |
Quoting Dreadnought (Reply 20): he is just about the only person with a large audience today that does shows like this: |
Quoting Jetmatt777 (Reply 44): I can read. "The majority" is still a misleading figure. We are talking at the very least 3 million people (assuming majority >= 51%) all sitting in their basements shining their gun barrels, sitting on an old rocking chair, chewing tobacco, and have a piece of straw hanging out of their mouth while listening to Beck -- at the same time. |
Quoting FuturePilot16 (Reply 47): Whatever, I don't really care, it's a stupid thing to argue about. |
Quoting IAirAllie (Reply 27): You didn't but Superfly did. I think he meant a collective you not you personally. |
Quoting Superfly (Reply 29): No. I said; "Looks like Glenn Beck is a race-baiter." You have a problem with that? |
