Apparently Tiger Woods Is Running For President
by 100%InjuryRate 100%InjuryRate
4/11/08



A lot of people have accused Tiger Woods of being a corporate shill who's only interested in being the greatest golfer ever and that he actively avoids getting involved in any political controversy. But that all changed on Tuesday, although not because of anything Tiger did.

At a pro-war rally Tuesday in DC held by the "Vets for Freedom", an idiot named David Bellavia - who introduced John McCain - made what I'd consider a semi-kinda-sorta-maybe-borderline racist comment involving Woods.

By the way, here's a fun game. See how many non-white people you can find in this Republican crowd. There is one. Think of this as the political version of Where's Waldo?

OK, I'll say it.  THE REPUBLICAN PARTY IS RACIST.  There, it's out there on the internets and can never be taken back.  Remember McCain's black baby from 2000? 
I kid, of course.  The Republican party isn't racist, they just don't like blacks, Mexicans, or Muslims.

Whether that was racist or not (could go either way, hard to fully see his intent), you'd think Republicans would want to avoid bringing up race.  Its just going to blow up in their face.

 

How the heck did David Bellavia get to introduce any presidential candidate though?  He sounds like a complete moron.

Wow, talk about taking things out of contest...the guys is talking about who his sons would look up to as idols and he is implying that they'll look up to a war hero (McCain) as opposed to a sports hero (Tiger).

 

The media (including you, 100%) are the only ones bringing race into this, so blame yourself if you're going to blame anyone.  And, while your at it, keep your 'the republican party is racist' innuendos to yourself.

Definately agree. The intent was obviously not to make a racial remark, which would've only hurt the man he's endorsing.

So you think he just coincidentally brought up a popular black man? Please, your smarter than that.

It might not be racist, but it's pretty obvious what he was saying, reinforcing it with the audacity for hope comment.

As someone who usually votes republican that was an embarrassing introduction.

You must be watching a different video. He's clearly referring to Obama when he says "Tiger Woods." It's a dumb move regardless of how you look at it.

As for 'the republican party is racist', I never said that. I just pointed out that minorities tend to be about as prominent in the party as the lone black guy in the video - which is true.
