WOW!!! Mccain is so old he doesnt even notice what he said or does he even care... also Tiger always wins :o) something 2 Think about.

[comandanteagi]

at least he didn't call him macaca!

Well i've never met any conservatives that talk crap about black conservatives, most of us see them as a breath of fresh air, someone we can talk politics with without being accused of being bigots (not a jab at you)

I actually listen to his weekly radio show and have heard his remarks about diversity before, so im honestly curious what garbage you're talking about

watch?v=NztYvPJwMpI

Lastly...I do have to ability to see it as a non-racist jab. It could be perfectly innocent. However, I refuse to ever believe he meant it in an innocent manner. BTW...have you heard his other crazy comments? He's got a history of this garbage.

[tdmaker2]

He may not be racist...but this comment was clearly a swipe at Obama. Or better yet...it was only supposed to be insulting to Obama and Tiger behind closed doors. And general enough so that people you like in public will support this ass! Sort of like the conservatives that poke fun at the few Black Republicans behind closed doors at the RNC.

We can agree to disagree, but like I said earlier he could've used Tom Brady. It may be a poor chose of words on his behalf. However...his tone and demeanor tell another story.

[tdmaker2]

Stop with the assumptions...You're wrong with the the lefty and liberal talk. You're stereotyping and you're wrong about me. My opinion doesn't come from some knee jerk reaction based on my political viewpoint. My opinion comes from the fact that I too am a bi-racial Black Man and have heard this talk my entire life.

[Floridanon407]

Why is it you insist that we can't treat black or minority (Woods himself refuses to be identified as either, so you are pigeonholing him into a social caste he himself rejects) people, stars, athletes, etc the same as their white counter-parts

is that not itself racism on your part

also, you call me jerk but go on to toss "chump", "neanderthal", "nut job", and "knuckle dragger" at me in the same breath

hypocrite

[Floridanon407]

Lmao you leftists only have 2 insults in your whole playbook.

"racist" and "redneck" it's getting old.

You only point out Tiger Woods' multi-racial background because your favorite talking head Olbermann brought it up for you.

He chose Tiger Woods because even people who don't follow golf, or even sports at all know the name instantly, and that he's the best golfer out there that people seem to idolize as the ultimate figure for kids to role-model.

war hero > sports hero.

[tdmaker2]

And you parker have the right to call someone a coward? LOL

[tdmaker2]

Why didn't he choose Tom Brady you chump? Or Larry Bird? He wants to choose a sports icon so he chooses one that plays golf? Ha! Nice try Nut Job! The real intent was choosing a sports person similar to Obama without using Obama's name you jerk! Both are Bi-racial and stirring up the good Ole Boy's network in their respective fields.

If this jerk (just like you) wanted to discuss how much of hero John McCain is he could've simply stated it-McCain's record speaks for itself. U knuckle dragger!

[tdmaker2]

Ok then Floridanon...since your neanderthal skull is so thick...Why don't you clearly explain what the hell the "Tiger Woods" comment was supposed to mean. I take offense to your instant "liberal bashing" as you don't know enough about me to make an educated guess of where I stand politically. Once again...please tell me why the "tiger woods" comment since you somehow believe this isn't meant to be a racial swipe at all.
