MSNBC’s Shuster: Brit Hume ‘Denigrated’ Christianity With Tiger Woods Comment
NewsBusters ^ | January 4, 2010 | Kyle Drennen

Posted on 01/04/2010 11:04:04 PM PST by bogusname

During the 3PM ET hour of live coverage on MSNBC, anchor David Shuster claimed that Fox News political analyst Brit Hume "denigrated Christianity" when suggesting that scandal-ridden golfer Tiger Woods convert to the faith.

Shuster made the comments while discussing the issue with MSNBC political analyst Pat Buchanan, asking: "Doesn’t it also denigrate Christianity when you do that on a Sunday political talk show? This isn’t church, this isn’t some sort of holy setting, this is a political talk show....Doesn’t that minimize the significance of Christianity, when you bring a discussion of Christianity into a conversation about politics?"

Buchanan replied: "He’s not denigrating Christianity....A lot of us feel that there ought to be more discussion of religion in politics and religious beliefs and what’s moral and right and wrong."

So Tiger Woods dropping his pen into public toilets is "politics" now?

Atheists are the most pathetically transparent and undeniably stupid people in America.

The anchors deserve a sh*tstorm — there’s no excuse for such ignorance.

Obama began his campaign for President with a speech about the importance of faith in the public square , David. That was OK with you, wasn’t it?

David Shuster is plotting ways to service his own messiah (BO).

Why bother with the guy? He’s a gay clown.

Shuster “denigrates” humanity every time he opens his mouth - IMHO

God is everything—or he is nothing. If God is everything, no place or time is inappropriate to make a reference. Hume believes in a living God, Shuster sees God as a totem in a shrine.

Nothing! If he knew anything he wouldn’t be a schmuck.

If politics had more consideration of the values of Christianity, we'd all be better off. I heard Brit Hume explain his comments on that boor O'Reilly's show, and was really impressed to hear a savvy, inside-the-Beltway guy like Hume express his belief in the mercy and forgiveness of God.

It never denegrates Christianity to suggest that a Sinner should come to repentance and obedience. Christ is there, always waiting, always ready. He came to bring sinners — not the righteous — to repentence.

The inside of a Church would be a much better place for Tiger Woods to spend his Sunday Mornings in.

It diminishes politics when you bring shuster into it.

David Schuster is Jewish. His concept of "denigrating Christianity" is of little concern.

God bless you, Brit Hume. It's one thing to believe in Jesus Christ. It's another thing altogether to speak those words out loud to a secular, ridiculing public when your livelihood depends on keeping quiet.

May we all show the same truth and courage Hume did in his honest and caring attempt to help untangle Tiger Woods from this snare of his own making.
