Brit Hume playing the persecuted victim card
Brit Hume, the Fox News commentator, went on national TV this week and publicly criticized another person’s faith as inadequate.
Facing a backlash for those remarks, Hume is now casting himself as the victim of religious intolerance.
Got that? The victim of religious bigotry and intolerance is the man who publicly condemned another’s faith as inadequate.
To review briefly, here’s Hume’s original statement on Fox News Sunday:
“… the Tiger Woods that emerges once the news value dies out of this scandal — the extent to which he can recover — seems to me to depend on his faith. He’s said to be a Buddhist; I don’t think that faith offers the kind of forgiveness and redemption that is offered by the Christian faith. So my message to Tiger would be: ‘Tiger, turn to the Christian faith, and you can make a total recovery and be a great example to the world.’”
According to Hume and others, he has become the victim of anti-Christian bigotry for those remarks. “It is certainly true in secular America today that the most controversial two words you can ever utter in a public space are ‘Jesus Christ,’” Hume said in a later interview about the uproar.
That’s absurd. It’s not about Christianity. Among other things, it’s about poor manners. Like a lot of Americans, I was raised to respect religious belief, and I think it’s rude and crass to drag another person’s private faith into the public square for judgment and belittlement, as Hume did to Woods.
Reportedly, Hume’s longtime Christian faith deepened after the tragic suicide of his son 11 years ago. I get that and accept that, and I’m glad that Hume found solace at what must have been a very difficult time. If Hume had reached out privately to Woods to share that experience, I’d have no problem with it whatsoever, and I doubt many others would either.
In fact, if Hume had merely said on air that his own Christian faith had helped him through hard times and that Woods might benefit from it too, I’d find it hard to object much. (Such a statement would have seemed odd and out of place from a political commentator on a news show, but that’s another issue.)
However, that’s not what Hume did. He said Woods is a Buddhist and suggested that Buddhism is an inferior religion.
Thanks to an earlier post on this subject, I’m now among those being accused of being anti-Christian and intolerant. Well, let’s try a little experiment, shall we? Let’s imagine that a prominent newscaster had said the following about Hume at a difficult time in his life:
“Brit’s said to be a Christian — I don’t think that faith offers the kind of solace that is offered by the Buddhist faith — so my message to Brit would be, turn to the Buddhist faith and you can make a total recovery.”
Personally, I would find that just as objectionable as what Hume said about Woods. A person’s religion is not a topic for public judgment. But I guarantee that most of those who today rush to defend Hume’s comments in the name of tolerance would be singing quite a different tune. They would not be celebrating the airing of religious issues, they would be complaining about a lack of basic respect for faith.
And in that case, they’d be right.

mike,
“Thanks for bringing it into focus for us. And thanks for letting us know what the true nature of the universe is, as you seem to know that for sure. LOL”
I am comfortable with my beliefs. And I believe that I have a true understanding of the universe. Many Christians believe that they have a true understanding of the universe. But you know what, my belief is not threatened by what they believe. Can we say the converse is true? Rational thought scares the crap out of all religious people, which is why they fight it so vigorously.
I am not threatened by those that believe differently. I tolerate them and usually leave them alone. Some nights I like to poke the nest to see which ones are not resting comfortably.

You’re probably a good typist then. I started to take a typing class in high school and changed it because I just knew I’d never be typing and for the last couple of decades every thing I work on involves typing. I can write plenty fast though, but when I do nobody can read it so it doesn’t really matter what it says.

It’s so funny how conservative Christians always talk about how they’re being persecuted for their faith…as though they’re being fed to the lions in the good ol’ days. I guess they’re blind to the fact that people find it annoying and offensive when they put down the faiths of others since theirs is the “only way to God”. So they’re not being persecuted for their faith, as they like to believe, but because they’re annoying.

I live in Candler Park and I can attest that intown neighborhood roads are iced over. It’s hasn’t really been snowing. It’s been SLEETING since about 5pm. I went for a run in it. My entire front yard is covered in what looks like salt. But, the bottom layers are starting to stick together and get slick.
I went out and iced my porch steps. I live in one of those city houses that has a 4 foot retaining wall so my front yard is 4 feet off the ground and I have a flight of stairs down to the sidewalk…I iced that, too.
I can hear cars driving on McLendon Ave and tires spinning. McLendon is a busy thoroughfare for traffic going downtown and wanting to skip Dekalb Ave. BEWARE!

The bible instructs specifically about the ills of the tongue and how it can get you into trouble. Hume should try putting these words into action.
James 1: 27
“If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless.”
When I was a child, my grandmother would always tell us to roll our tongue seven times before we decided to speak. Least we would allow the wrong thing to come out of our mouth, because she was very quick with her hands.
I’m still practicing, but would like to offer those very words of wisdom that my grandmother tried to instill in me as a child.

Is an “advance” class like a prerequisite? Or do you mean “advanced” class? And please don’t give me any credit. That would mean that in the real world I get none.

SoCo,
Just keep a wary eye working above that grin.
Yes OV, an advance class is the research you do before you show your shortcomings, but nobody that knows you would expect you to be able to process that.

Well, if you’re an educator, of any sort, then I have to say I am disappointed that you would strike the tone you have.

Yes, RW, I forgot you were an expert in “research”. Like that “research” you read about how animals magically poofed into existence in complete form throughout history? I’ve actually had real research published. But please tell me more about how to do research.

OV, I’m not sure what your vitriol against RW is based on but, man, I hope you deal with peer review better than blogging.

And RW, on the topic of your correctness, about a year ago didn’t you claim McCain would not only win, but then be elected to a second term, only to be followed by Palin’s two terms? How’s that prediction working out for you?

OV at 12:14,
I’d really love to see you back that claim because I said McCain would never be elected and would be a disaster if by some quirk he were, but just in case you’re emerging from a coma I’d like to encourage your wellness. Fight those demons young warrior, fight!

Are you suggesting that researchers communicate with peer reviewers during the *blind* review process? Hmm…
And don’t worry your little head about old combatants.

Sorry, that must have been Andy who said that then. You two were always so much alike.
