    The evil of Glenn Beck is stronger than holiday spirit.

    And for those who think it's a left/right thing, check out Andy Borowitz. He's decidedly left-wing, and is churning out Tiger Woods stories as fast as he can. Some of his recent tweets:

    >>If Carrie Prejean came forward and admitted to a fling with Tiger, my life would be complete.

    How much longer before the number of Tiger's mistresses surpasses his average golf score?

    I was just asked to be a Facebook fan of something called "Woods Hole Inn." A name-change might be in order.<<

    Oh, yeah. Both black guys. Next time one of these right wing blowhards/crazy persons gets called a racist, here's another example of it.

    Tiger Woods says he isn't black. According to him he's caublinasian. His haughtiness over how he defines himself racially has always left me a bit perplexed. Never cared for the guy much and I'm not feeling too sorry for him right now.

Sure, the magnitude of what they did is different, but there is a similarity. Oh and yes, they are both black. I had forgotten Tiger was.

    OJ was a successful athlete who abused and then murdered his wife.

    Tiger apparently cheated on his wife, but hasn't as far as anyone has said, abused her physically. And he certainly hasn't murdered her.

    I don't see any similarity at all. I see a couple of right wing racists who happen to have radio shows trying to make a connection, but there really is none.

    Given the fact that Limbaugh and Beck have histories of substance abuse, would it be a fair comparison to lump them in with someone who murdered a person while drunk? Somehow, I think they'd have a problem with that.

    So why didn't Glenn Beck, crazy person, compare Tiger Woods to a bazillion other athletes that were "admired by many" until they got busted "sinning?" And biggest question of all, why not compare him to a white one?

    I'm also curious, how often has Beck slammed Mark Sanford, John Ensign, or Ted Haggard? Has he compared them to one another?

    >>I don't see any similarity at all. I see a couple of right wing racists who happen to have radio shows trying to make a connection, but there really is none.<<

    Ding, ding ding! We have it!

    Of course Glenn Beck, crazy person, will swear up and down (or he'll say heck and darn a lot) that he's not a racist. And I have no doubt he's actually obtuse enough to believe that. But his immediate leap to O.J. Simpson when he could have compared Tiger to any number of other people, shows his true colors.
