From the Political Dirt blog, a perfect example of the double standard that seems to be in play in Obama's run for the Presidency. White's make a poorly phrased statement, and the Black community wants blood, but let Obama make a similiar mistake, or refuse to rebuke racist statements by his spiritual mentor, and chosen preacher of over 20 years, and THAT's OK, and if we demand the same standard of justice, we are labeled by the black community as racist...who remembers Otis Moss III's allegations that the media had LYNCHED the revered Jeremiah Wright delivered from the pulpit of Barack Obama's church on Easter Sunday? If Al Sharpton wants Tilghman's job for her gaffe, then it is only fair that Obama drop out of the Presidential Race, and resign his position as Senator for his own gaffes.
Tiger Woods-Barack Obama/Jeremiah Wright-The Double Standard
Barack Obama can be pals with Jeremiah Wright and Otis Moss III after thier racist statements, and the accusation of lynching, but a White Announcer gets suspended for the use of the word lynching...anyone else see a serious DOUBLE STANDARD in play on this?
PGA: Tiger Woods' 'lynching' controversy alive again
A picture of a dangling noose on the cover of the Jan. 19 issue of Golfweek magazine has re-ignited the issue over suspended Golf Channel anchor Kelly Tilghman and her comments about Tiger Woods.
While covering the Mercedes-Benz Championship in Hawaii on Jan. 4, Tilghman joked with analyst Nick Faldo that players hoping to challenge Woods, who is half African-American and half Asian, may have to “lynch him in a back alley."
Tilghman apologized privately to Woods and during a telecast two days later and was ultimately suspended for two weeks for "offensive language." Woods’ agent said the “story was a non-issue,” but Golfweek's editors — along with the Rev. Al Sharpton, who on Jan. 9 told CNN Tilghman should be fired — thought differently.
