Lynch Tiger Woods

In the most farcical racial story of the last few months, a TV sports presenter has been suspended for making a "racist" remark live on air about golfer Tiger Woods. Kelly Tilghman was fronting a U.S. TV programme with Britain's Nick Faldo when she suggested rival players should "lynch" the world number one as the only way to beat him.

Now, OBVIOUSLY the presenter was not intentionally trying to summon up images of the Ku Klux Klan when she mentioned lynching. OBVIOUSLY, had the player in question been white she would have made the same comment, and this whole affair would never have made the news. OBVIOUSLY it was just a case of unfortunate wording, and OBVIOUSLY if you actually asked Tiger Woods whether he was offended by this he'd say no. But that means nothing to the PC lunatics, who make a habit of destroying people's careers because of their own hyper-sensitive whims. Just like Don Imus, Kelly Tilghman has been treated appallingly here.

It's also noteworthy that the odious Al Sharpton has gotten involved in the affair, too. "Whether she's a racist is immaterial," Sharpton said. "The channel has to be accountable to the public."

Yes, Al, with you it IS immaterial whether she is actually a racist or not, because your motives for getting involved in this have nothing to do with civil rights and everything to do with manipulatory politics and intimidation.
