Al Sharpton wants another scalp
I’m sure you heard about the Golf Network anchorwoman who joked last week that young players who wanted to dethrone Tiger Woods should “lynch him in a back alley.” The cable news networks, looking to capture some Imus-style ratings, went ga-ga over the story. Despite Woods calling the matter closed, despite the anchorwoman and Woods being long-time friends, and despite the anchorwoman apologizing for her politically incorrect words, the non-scandal lingers. She has now been suspended. But that ain’t enough for nosybody, race-hustling Al Sharpton.
He wants 15 more minutes on TV–and a scalp:
“While we believe that Kelly’s choice of words was inadvertent and that she did not intend them in an offensive manner, the words were hurtful and grossly inappropriate,” Golf Channel said in its statement. “Consequently, we have decided to suspend Kelly for two weeks, effective immediately.”
Woods and Tilghman have known each other 12 years. She was picked to host a club demonstration with Woods in south Florida when he talked about new products from Nike Golf.
Tilghman was helped when Mark Steinberg, Woods’ agent at IMG, said it was a non-issue and considered the matter “case closed.”
“Tiger and Kelly are friends, and Tiger has a great deal of respect for Kelly,” Steinberg said Tuesday night in a statement released by Golf Channel. “Regardless of the choice of words used, we know unequivocally that there was no ill-intent in her comments.”
That should be the end of it.
It’s not, of course:
Before her suspension was announced, Sharpton spoke earlier on CNN’s “Prime News” and continued to push for her firing, saying he wanted to meet with Golf Channel because the comments were “an insult to all blacks.”
“Lynching is not murder in general, it’s not assault in general,” Sharpton said. “It’s a specific racial term that this women should be held accountable for. What she said is racist. Whether she’s a racist … is immaterial. She’s a broadcaster. The channel has to be accountable to the public.”
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if Woods directly addressed Sharpton and his ilk and told them to bug off and pitch their circus tents somewhere else?

Woo hoo! Michelle writing about golf.
Kelly Tilghman’s profile page at the Golf Channel website:
http://www.thegolfchannel.com/22100/4/
Kelly is the hottest woman in golf!
Amaaaazing. If race baiter sharpy got his way,anyone who was not black would not be allowed to speak ever. There was absolutely NO racial tone to the remark made. One has to be verey pc to even connect this comment to a racial slur.
Not having watched the video of the comment (I can not stand golf), I can’t say what the commentators tone was. I take the comment to mean the only way any one can beat Tiger Woods would be to pull a Tanya Hardin. My understanding is that Tiger puts a hell of a work ethic into his golf and this relates directly to his ability to win so often.
Oh, and the very excellent Tiger Woods website:
http://www.tigerwoods.com/
No…no no no no no no no. Lynch is just a word. PERIOD. It only carries a certain connotation if a single person ALLOWS it to carry it. Just because Sharpton SAYS it does, does not mean that it does. In the dictionary, it does not ist it as a racist term. There is no way he should be allowed to turn this into anything other than what it was, and in fact, since the person it was directed at stated it was a NON-ISSUE, then the network itself had no business in suspending the woman. The fact that Sharpton is involved beyond that proves to everyone what a biggot and racist he is. When all those other examples that were shown on here in recent weeks went ignored by His Royal Biggottedness, and then he shows up, stirring this up, making up racist words that do’t exist just to try to get a race riot out of it, then he is exposed for what he is, and should be fined for any troubles that occurr as a result.
The station should reinstate this woman immediately with an apology as well. There was no crime, no insult, and they are making it a crime to say a word that has no specific racist meaning at all. Otherwise, is Jessica Lynch a racist just by name alone? Is it only Blacks that are wronged when they are lynched? For there were quite a few others in the 1800’s and early 1900’s who were lynched as a form of Western justice as well. It was not just a racial thing…but then one would have to not re-write history to know that.
This is just insane, and someone needs to finally stand up to this bigot and racist right at his rally. Stand right there on his stage and confront him with the lies and the racism he himself is spreading to everyone he talks to. And while they are at it, make him ride the bus with a gang of kids wearing hoodies. Maybe he might want to sit in their chairs and they might not want him to.
Bring in the clowns!
One wishes Mr. Sharpton was more niggardly with his outbursts…
But how could you ever truly challenge the man on an ethical or moral level. I mean look at his history defending the victims of so many crimes that never occurred.
Fixed?
This guy is the face of racism and boy it ain’t pretty.
Wow Magicarb! That was amazing. I had to go to the dictionary for that one. I must admit, I’ve known a few niggardly people myself in my life.
I’m still trying to figure out how Sharpton got involved with those two guys that escaped from the NJ prison Shawshank style. Sharpton went to Mexico City to get one of the guys to turn himself in? How did he get involved in the first place?
If Sharpton was worth considering, he’d be in Philadelphia going after the cop who shot at someone 11 times. Although it’s true he wounded his target, he also wounding two and killing a third inside a home that served as the backdrop to his shooting and not involved. Just saying, is all.
^ succeeded in
insert where appropriate
Magicarb is correct in the usage of that word, but using it here IMHO is done with incredible poor taste. He / she used it only to inflame others into joining in.
Do you folks remember the DC guy who lost his job because he used that word…niggardly?
Here’s a recap:
But then…
And as if THAT wasn’t bad enough…
But I digress…
Magicarb was right in using that word as as example of how a simple word can be used to inflame people for no reason.
And no reason is correct, Traveler.
For those that actually KNOW the meaning of the word. That’s the comedy of it all. How absurdly offended people are by the simple use of a legitimate word. Or are they just embarrassed to admit their ignorance because they don’t know the meaning of it in the first place?
That’s why I pointed out that article about the college student. A college student! In an educational environment! Political correctness at its best!
I hope Bill O works the word “niggardly” into his signoff one of these days.
Imagine all of the heads that would explode.
Sharpton is actually a fairly stupid person IMHO.
Hello - “lynching” is not a racial term. (Although, come to think of it, maybe our lousy education system has made it so.) Maybe Mr. Sharpton would like to review his history and remember all the other groups of people who were targeted by lynchings - Jews, Catholics, Mormons, Italians, Mexicans, Chinese, Native Americans, carpetbaggers, and Republicans (yes, really), not to mention those on the short end of frontier justice or the small businesses/farmers who owned something that their neighbors wanted. These groups should all rise up and be terribly offended, too, when the “lynch” word is used. Oh yeah, they don’t have a Reverend Sharpton standing up for them.
(Yes, from the late 1800s to the 1950s, blacks made up the majority of the 100 or fewer people who were lynched each year and the history is tragic. But let’s not forget those thousands of other victims who were deemed undesirable by mobs or who just owned something that others coveted.)
Al “Sportin’ Life” Sharpton appears more cartoonish with every issue/situation he jumps in the middle of.
Oh, sorry M, guess my comment was too strongly worded.
Lynch, lynch, lychity lynch lynch lynch lyching on a lynch lynch lynch lynchity lynch lynch lynch.
lynchpin
Al Sharpton-self-appointed, msm supported politically correct police. He can’t control the country, so he’s trying to control your speech and actions. Anything for power.
Why can’t he just listen to the offended person(TW) who says he’s not offended? Because Al must interject himself into situations which are not his business in order to make himself seem/feel relevant.
It didn’t work.
Isn’t Tiger Woods Asian? What is Sharpton up to with this? Is he now a ‘multicultural’ shill?
Kudos to Tiger Woods for showing his class and that he is a bigger person than to be drawn into such a race-baiting fiasco …
Raspberries to the Golf Channel for caving in to Sharpton’s repeatedly tired and typically bigoted instigation of a problem where there is no problem …
The only people that had any reason to talk about the statement were Tiger Wooods and Kelly Tilghman … there was not and still is not an issue between them over this … end of story … send Al packing …
And Tiger is just the guy who could do it.
Tiger is a class act, and he hates the spotlight…except at the end of a game. My bet, he’s already called Sharpton on the QT. Don’t be surprised if Sharpton finds a different target soon.
I think Sharpton has an automatic search on his computer for words in the news like “lynching” or “n-word” or “disfranchised.” Once he finds potential work, he flies across the country to root out the racial problem. He could fly commercial, or he could wear his cape.
This from a racist with all kinds of dirty laundry in his past. But have no fear as he finds a forum and rehabilitation from such bozos as Bill O’Reilly. The ugly past historys with Tawana Brawly and the Hasidic thing in NY are forgiven. Did the very Rev. ever pay that judgment in the Brawly case or is he still pleading poverty?
From what I’ve heard so far, at least Obambi Hussein Barack hasn’t been that enamored of Sharpton or Jackson. But then look at his (OHB’s) own racist church in Chicago and connections with radical Muslims in Kenya.
A pox on the dividers such as Al, Jesse, Geraldo and the Breck Girl.
Hey Al,
Otto Frank.
It’s insignificant acts like this that have given Al(not so)Sharpton a bad taste in the publics mouth and why so many dislike him.
No great surprise that Tiger responded with class - I’d like to think it was the military brat (term of endearment to us old soldiers) in him.
Why, Al? It’s a cable channel and not broadcast over the public airwaves.
I agree. It’s Al and the race-hustling poverty pimps who give the other 3% of civil rights leaders a bad name.
Tiger said it was a non-issue; therefore, that should be the end of it. However, ain’t nobody sharper Sharpton doesn’t care about what Tiger thinks. It’s about sending his overdone, broke-down, rinse and repeat message: when “racist” terms are used the only way to fix the wrong is for that person who used them to be fired.
Someone has already said it but it bears repeating: if this doesn’t show just how bigoted and monopolistic he is, well I don’t know what does.
Al is just jelous he hasnt been invited to play golf on tigers yacht.
USS Tiger
Tiger Woods is a class act and gentleman who can play on heck of a game of golf. If the vile Al Sharpton requires a scalp I guess I could help him out. Being of Cherokee decent a few generations removed I would be glad to try my skills and give him his own that he can place on his coo stick along with the scalps of every spineless jelly fish that has caved to his race hustling.
typo, jealous….
Al has never apoloized for the Tawana hoax. Why doesn’t he do that before asking anyone else to apologize for these silly verbal gaffes?
It always amazes me how people will sue, or demand compensation because of words. They argue that a person’s words carry strength enough to ’cause irreparable damage’.
If that’s true, then why aren’t the words of a sincere apology equally strong to undo the ‘damage’….?
I pray for the day when those in power will simply respond to Sharpton, Jesse, et al, and say ” ……f*ck off….”
guitarguy,
great post!
The so called “reverend” never said a peep when three black kids were murdered execution style in Newark, NJ. Why not you ask? Because at least one of the killers was an illegal immigrant and they weren’t white. Al’s motto, “if they ain’t whit, I got no fight.”
This is not a gaffe. It is a statement of respect. Tiger Wood is so good on the golf course that the only way to stop him is off the golf course. Last time I checked, the word “lynch” was in the dictionary - would this supposed gaffe be any better if she had used the word “mugged”? This is a made up controversy and the reaction of the Golf network is completely inappropriate - basically it proves that the people managing the golf channel are liberals with their typical lack of common sense and their oversensitivity to political correctness. Sharpton, by the way, is just jumping at weakness shown.
When you compare this supposed offense to the Joy Behar statement about saints being mentally unstable nuts, you quickly see just how absurd the media is. Behar insulted, at a minimum, the entire Catholic faith.
lynch vt
to seize somebody believed to have committed a crime and put him or her to death immediately and without trial, usually by hanging.

Obviously all reference to race was left out because lynchings are not exclusively racial in nature.
Al was in Florida this week trying to keep the slum Dunbar open. This slum breeds monsters who think it is fun to gang-rape a women and force her to have sex with her own son.
Maybe he was looking for Tiger for a photo-op while he was here.
Wow. We white folk better get our “I’m offended” groove on and catch up to the modern world. At least we don’t have to go looking for ways to be offended. Just turn on any HBO special with Chris Rock, Martin Lawrence or nearly any routine from Def Comedy Jam and there is enough material to offend a white person for the remainder of the decade. I’m getting a little tired of being told that I need to be the bigger person because of my skin color, that I don’t have the right to be offended because of my skin color and internationally that we don’t have the right to be offended because we’re American citizens. Maybe we need to take a page from the Sharpton/Jackson or religion of perpetual outrage play book and make comparable demands of tolerance.
Tiger Woods is successful not because of the color of his skin or because of his racial heritage but because he took natural talent and combined it with a seriously hard core work ethic and became the best. He knows he earned his success, knows who he is and nothing anyone says to him or about him changes what he knows about himself. That make him a strong (black) man as contrasted with the race baiters and hip-hop/rap thugs who are so typically held up by the media as strong male role models.
I guess they only lynched black folk for stealing horses back in the 1800’s!!!!
So do we now have to say “The L word” instead of saying the word lynching?
Sharpton, the poverty pimp, only makes money when he’s flapping his big pie hole. Thus, the picture you’ve chosen is absolutely perfect!
I agree with guitar guy..
but would add..because of words that have nothing to do with them..
Kelly apologized ..to Tiger..Tiger accepted..what the hell does that have to do with anyone else???
Mugging him in a back alley would have been a whole lot funnier & made more sense coming from a golf analyst. Instead of a sit with Al, she should have a session with Stuart Scott.
I really wish someone would simply tell Sharpton to “Shut Up!”…… this would really help to begin the discrediting of Sharpton and call attention to the race huckster that he is.
PS I emailed the Golf Channel asking them to ignore the ridiculous Mr. Sharpton
I hear he’s gearing up to protest Pace Picante Sauce for their advertising…..
“NEW YORK CITY?!?!?!?!?!”
“Get a rope!!!!!!”
I wonder what the Rev. Al thinks of Lynchburg, Virginia. Is he offended by the drink called “Lynchburg Lemonade”??
Woods wasn’t upset because he’s intellegent enough to understand that she was paying him a compliment. We have a delemma…we all like news that gives more reasons to despise Sharpton, but the only reason he’s relevant is because people keep putting him in the news. I hope that the poor woman never asks Tiger out for fried chicken!
If Sharpton is the official spokesman for the black community then they really have a credibility problem. This guy could not possibly be worse… Except for that Rainbow huckster. Both of these guys should have been in jail a long time ago.
I’ve heard that Al practically soils himself whenever the Broncos’ John Lynch lays a clothesline tackle on a black player.
I believe “lynch” became a verb due to the way a certain militia leader during the Revolutionary War named Lynch dealt with recalcitrant Loyalists. Why isn’t “lynch” an insult to Canadians and British?
It is stunts like this that desensitizes us to the actual racism and bigotry that does exist in this country. The “Reverend” knows this was just an unfortunate choice of words….and has again seized an opportunity to rile up the potbangers. He really needs to reread The Boy Who Cried Wolf. Oops….did i say “boy”.
It’s funny you mention Lynchburg. Liberty University is there. That’s my school and when I told my sister the location of Liberty she asked “do they lynch black people there?” Now, I love my sister but she has a tendency to say ridiculous racist things like this mainly because she isn’t happy with her status in life but I laughed at her. Some people don’t know quite how to “get with the times.” Other people profit from it.
It’s sad.
Sharpton is the lynch pin of the race-baiting movement… oops i did it again!
oh, sorry, that would be “linchpin” no relation… but anyway, to lynch someone merely means to execute them without legal approval….
Al Sharpton?
He always strikes me as the kind of “celebrity” you’d expect to see on Hollywood Squares.
Disclaimer: The expression Hollywood Squares describes a tacky television show and is not meant to
denigrateinsult any non-hip citizens of Hollywood, which is indeed a lovely place.One thing I have noticed, when you prohibit free speech and push political correctness the biases and hate stews and grows internally - it then becomes a driver for actions that are far worse than the speech - my $.02
The man sits there with his group of witch hunters watching the news and reading reports to find the next news story he can use to get his face on TV.
The comment, completely without racial overtone or context, was directed at ONE person and that person received an appology and ACCEPTED it. Why is that not enough? What the hell does this have to do with fat ass Al Sharpton?
It’s getting worse. Any comment can be turned into an issue by what has to be the worst “reverend” in the world. He shows no mercy on anyone unless they are black. Jena Six can beat the hell out of someone and Al defends the Jena Six. Black stripper falsely accuses white athletes and Al is there with a mob to protest and declares their guilt without so much as a shred of evidence. White commentator makes foolish comment without even thinking of race but he turns it into a racial issue and demands she is removed from her job.
I believe white people are being pushed to the point they are sick of it. Al has created more racial tension because of his own racist activity than what he has helped prevent. It is not hard to imagine white America saying that’s it and then we really have a problem. Al is an embarrasment to ministers and one of the biggest reasons our country is divided along racial lines.
Oh the beauty of the ethnic grievance industry. CEO Sharpton has all these people on edge.
http://www.statenews.com/index.php/article/2004/02/_Offensive_food
Remember what they did to Fuzzy Zeoller and killed his KMart contract? I won’t patronize them for that stupid move. Sharptongue is nothing more than a racist thug.
Everybody google “interracial violent crime”. You will be stunned, not just by the realities of black violence, but at the craven and cowardly refusal by the press to discuss this matter. Be sure you check the one by Walter Williams.
Ironically, my mother’s maiden name is…..wait for it…..
Lynch
Doesn’t Cadillac advertise heavily on the Golf Channel?
Maybe Al just wants to get a 2008 Escalade without having to patronize “predatory” auto lenders.

Haven’t had time to read all posts so forgive me if I am repeating someone
else’s comments. First, Tiger Woods checks Asian when he is asked his race.
Second, and most important….Al S is irrelevant with Obama capturing so many
white votes. He can see the writing on the wall here and is flailing around trying to impose himself on us once again to keep himself in the headlines.
Nah, #55. Those are all white people so “get a rope”
can’t be offensive to anyone. Not when it’s whites.
I think the real losers here are golfing lynch mobs.
This really gives them a black eye.
Sharpton’s futile attempts to achieve relevance are becoming more and more desperate.
I heard that Jesse Jackson held a rally in LA this week and only 8 people showed up. Maybe there is light at the end of this long dark PC tunnel after all. OMG I can’t believe I used the word “dark”!
Who do I make the check out to?
Maybe the reverends will have to start doing what HRC did in NH. Bus them in,
for $75 each and seat them in the audience to make yourself look more
relevant.
…in other news, today Columbia University announced it had looked at the video of the noose on the professor’s door and had a suspect. Not.
Al Sharpton has a lot to apologize for before he should be able to point fingers. In fact his penance should be to kneel on hard pea beans and recite “mea culpa” until all thoughts of racism are erased from his brain.
Hillary Clinton on the Today program 1/7/08:
Madeleine Albright on 7/27/07:
It was an incredibly dumb and stupid thing to say. She apologized to Tiger. She apologized on air. She’s been suspended. That is plenty.
I hope Tiger tells Sharpton to stick a 7-iron up where the sun doesn’t shine.
Obama Surge Creates Problems ofr Jesse and Al by Larry Elder on
Townhall.com today has this ….”Just because you are our color, doesn’t make you our
kind.” That is attributed to Al Sharpton and should be translated as…”So you are
uppity enough to think that you can run for office without getting my okay before you
do so”….In other words because Obama did not come crawling to Al and Jesse with his
hat in his hand begging for their approval and because he isn’t constantly railing
against whitey or the man in his speeches and because he has never stooped to
blackmail to get his way on something,he is not black enough to be black. Yecccch!
meant for..don’t know what language ofr is from
Especially if it is one evening when he has made us listen to Al Sharpton rant on his program. I’m pretty sure Sharpton would not know the meaning of the word.
I could be wrong as this is only a guess, But I’m thinking Al is acting like this because Kelly went to DUKE!!!?
Hey Sharpton? Do you think that what happened to Yankel Rosenbaum at your urging could be called a lynching? I certainly do. Why weren’t you held accountable for inciting a lynch-mob, but you want this woman held accountable for saying the word?
This makes me sick. To paraphrase sky Masterson, the only racism in this room is coming from Al Sharpton.
Lots of people were lynched, and it had nothing to do with race. “Lynch mob” and “lynch” have become figures of speech, and as such get used a lot without regard to what they really mean. That makes it a poor choice of phrase, no matter who the target is, but it doesn’t make it racist.
In fact, it’s just the opposite. Unless Al thinks she is incredibly stupid, he knows that if it had even remotely occured to her that her comment could be taken as racist, she wouldn’t have made it. The fact that she did say it is proof that race, in any way shape or form, never entered her thoughts.
And isn’t THAT the goal, Al?
Lynching is a crime. All sorts of people of various persuasions have been involved with lynching. The term lynching is generic: “Any act of violence inflicted by a mob upon the body of another person which results in the death of the person,” with a ‘mob’ being defined as “the assemblage of two or more persons, without color or authority of law, for the premeditated purpose and with the premeditated intent of committing an act of violence upon the person of another.”
In our state, three “persons of color” tortured, raped, and murdered bobbie rossi, who was abducted from a shopping center in 1984.
http://magyartruth.blogspot.com/2006/02/drugs-and-personal-responsibility.html
The three were convicted of murder, sentenced to death, but that sentence was overturned partially because of the race of the murderers supposedly.
In my opinion, they should have been put to death.
I sat on a jury where two black men picked a white woman out at random to rob and murder. It took hours for her to die in the rain choking on her own vomit for
a payroll check they could not cash. After the trial found out they were going to be
tried for two more robberies and one more murder.
One of the young men on the jury kept asking if hanging was a viable punishment.
(Hit submit instead of preview)
Where does any race baiter such as High Jack Jackson or Shrapton get off claiming the word “lynch” and “alley” ? This and their demonstration over Imouse should tell all what the racist ba$tardS are really about…money and keeping hate alive in the poorer blk community.
AS far as Kelly T. goes i personally don’t care for her voice, appearance and presentations, that said, I don’t watch the GC when she is broadcasting an event(personal choice)…I certainly don’t see why she should be suspended because some race whore thinks the black race now owns 2 words in the english language and any use of those words. It upsets me the GC caved to Shrapton or any other racist group..just what the racists wanted, more ammo to continue their extortion on white america. In the old west vigilantes hung many a white from trees and in “alleys”…sorry Al that dog don’t fight here.
As someone mentioned above I’d like to see Tiger denounce these actions by racists groups or is he….
you lie again Al.
Would Al have been as offended is she was referring to another famous golfer, O.J. Simpson?
Just curious here…when the friggin’ heck did you have to consult with a “minority” group to approve a friggin’ menu???? (the Offensive Food link above) All the foods that were named are basically “southern” fare, not “black” standard fare. I had to LOL at that. Besides, MLK WAS a southern man so I think it was a good thing. But instead some moron had to focus on “color” instead of his southern-ness.
PS: Is anyone here gonna get offended if I feed my cracker children chicken today??? lol
Al’s feeling neglected due to the campaign fever.
Why does anyone give POS Sharpton the time of day?Ignore him and the rest of his ilk.. Raging against him is just as bad as fawning over him. All he is looking for is attention,so,don’tgive him any.Ignore him and watch him dissolve.
Sometimes they comeback.
http://imustimes.wordpress.com/
The new rule don’t bother apologizing even when the person you are apologizing accepts you will still be loose your livelihood. Been here what is the constant in all these incidents. No one invites Al Sharpton he just inserts himself into the event.
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/11/sports/golf/11sandomir.html?_r=1&ref=sports&oref=slogin
I see Tilghman appologized again and this time on air to anyone she may have offended. This is laughable. First, there was nothing to appologize for. The context of her comments had absolutely nothing to do with race. Then, because we are so politically correct, she made sure to speak with Tiger (the only one that matters regarding this comment because it was at him) and Tiger was fine with it. Now it drags on. I’m beginning to wonder just how thin skinned black people are. They seem fine with certain words if it comes from their own race and they even seem fine calling women names and other races names. But let another race even remotely say something that could be twisted into a racial issue and their are protests. Black America needs to stop worrying about the color of their skin and worry more about the thickness of it.
