#1 This is the difference between a winner and a loser.

Tiger can laugh at anything, because he is not just the best, he is legendary in the sport. He could buy and sell Sharpton 30 million times over, and still tower over him.

#2 But Sharpton says it is the word -- not the person or their history -- that matters.

What, like..."white interloper"?
As I remember, seven people died over that one at Freddy's Fashion Mart...

#3 Pot meet kettle.

Sharpton is on tape calling greeks homosexuals to a black audience. Heard it on Hannity about two weeks ago. Sharpton's a pathetic joke. Someone needs to end this guy.

#5 I wonder if Mussolini realized what was being done to him in the last moments of his life was offensive to Al. Perhaps the Italians who strung him up should be made to apologize.

Sorry Al, you don't have an exclusive on the word.

#9 "Lynch him in a back alley," Tilghman interrupted with a chuckle.

"Was it offensive? Yes. However, Tiger does not care, so why should I?" reads another.

*************************************************

Thought Experiment...

"Lynch him in a back alley," Tilghman interrupted with a chuckle.

Golf TeeWee... or GTV & RD...

GTV: "Was it offensive RD?

RD: "Hell No. Tiger doesn't care, and it just so happens I don't care either, why should I anyway?"

GTV: " What if Kelly Tilghman called Tiger a Niger on the Air?"

RD: "I wouldn't give her extra credit for putting her Steel-Toed Skin-Head-Boots in her Mouth, but I certain ally wouldn't lose any sleep over it."

GTV: "If GTV punished Kelly Tilghman and fired her for saying the "N" word on Air even though Tiger forgave her would they be over-reacting?"

RD: "Not really, But I wouldn't fire for saying the "N" word literally...

I'd fire her for her lack of discipline and judgment and for not being aware that the words and the context she chose to use them on Air had a tremendous impact on our whole Business, millions of Paying Customers, millions of Cable Viewers and our Stock Holders"

end...
