—USAToday has a new article about an interview that WTOP had with Brit Hume today. Listen to the interview on WTOP.
—Check out the videos from the Daily Show, Don Imus, and others on ShambhalaSunpace. The Daily show is very funny, leave it to the writers on that show to come up with something that funny.
Tonight Brit Hume has replied on Bill O’Reilly’s show. So let’s break down a couple of points here on MF1B. Bill O’Reilly’s first statement to Brit after showing the recap video from yesterday is “Was that proselytizing?” Brit responds “I don’t think so…” Well Bill and Brit let me offer you a definition for the word Proselytizing from Dictionary.com “v. tr. To convert (a person) from one belief, doctrine, cause, or faith to another.” Hmm. Let’s see Brit, you state that Tiger should abandon his Buddhist faith for Christianity yet that is not proselytizing? Really?
Anyway, the conversation goes on to ask “what drives the negative comments about Christianity?” I have to say that proselytizing oops, I mean suggesting (Can I use that word instead, has a nice spin doesn’t it?) people change faiths because their faith (Buddhism) does not offer redemption like yours would probably, at the very least upset Buddhists. And obviously, judging by the comments on various other web pages, people of other faiths or no faith at all. However, I am happy that you are concerned about his family and his well being. Buddhists are also concerned with compassion and the well being of all sentient beings. Perhaps, and I am just suggesting this, you stop proselytizing and focus on delivering the news.
Wow!!! Fair and balanced? Really??? I have never seen arrogance delivered as a reasonable response to a statement by someone who claims to be a “Senior Political Analyst.” It is insulting to hear someone proselytize with such ease and then claim that he didn’t think he was proselytizing. He is entitled to his opinion but if he’s going to try to casually throw in his personal religious beliefs without bothering to find out the facts about another religion’s principles, his journalistic integrity becomes seriously compromised.
