Former Seminarian, Leftist Talker Bill Press to Tim Tebow: 'STFU'
You'd think a former Catholic seminarian would be happy about Christian athletes who are unashamed to publicly praise Jesus Christ. But then again, this is Bill Press we're talking about.
Our friend Brian Maloney at Radio Equalizer notes how the left-wing talker and CNN Crossfire alumnus declared on his December 15 radio program that the Denver Broncos quarterback should shut the [expletive] up:
PRESS: Tim Tebow.
UNIDENTIFIED REPORTER: What is it with you in the fourth quarter?
TEBOW: Well, first and foremost, I just have to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and thank my teammates, this is just an unbelievable feeling.
PRESS: Oh yeah, all right all right yeah first of all I just have to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and you know what I want to say, S.T.F.U. [shut the f*** up]
I’m tired of hearing Tim Tebow and all this Jesus talk.
[...]
PRESS: Tim Tebow, everybody wants to make him a hero. I think he’s a disgrace! I think he’s a disgrace! I think he’s an embarrassment!
By the way, Press is the author of a book entitled, "Toxic Talk: How the Radical Right Has Poisoned America's Airwaves."
Hypocrite, first remove the log from your own eye, Bill Press!
What is it with religious liberals and their Tebow Derangement Syndrome?

With all the people who are unemployed, how does Press keep a job?
If Press is looking for disgraceful NFL players, they're out there by the busload. Drug abusers, wife beaters, thugs, adulterers, thieves . . . . Here's a remarkably successful player who isn't hurting anybody and Press thinks he's a disgrace.
I'm certain that if Tebow was black or Hispanic, Press wouldn't say a damned thing about it.

Heard of Press: 2%
Heard of Tebow: 95%

I am a HUGE football fan. I really like Tim's courage and faith to stand up to everyone and make the declarations that he does. No one remember Mark Bravaro after EVERY touchdown genuflecting and singing the cross? Or getting arrested in 1988 for bieng at the Pro Life rally which he is still involved with? Bravaro was quiet on the field, quiet off the field but his actions proved what words he did choose to speak. Tim is a little more vocal on the field and off the field but equally matched his actions with his chosen spoken word. The media HATES this fact. I say TIm, KEEP TALKING! I just hope and pray that my sons, whenever they start to play football, look up to Mr. Tebow. Hall of Famer. (ok not yet but I can see him as one)
Bill Press was a seminarian?

With everything I've heard him say or write, I wouldn't even have thought he was a Catholic, let alone a former seminarian. Maybe his departure from seminary was mutual, or he's got issues from leaving.
Where's the love, Bill?

To change the channel. It's just that easy to silence Tebow. Same with Press for what it's worth.
Football fans like Tebow. If his faith gives him strength to perform, more power to him. What seems to be forgotten, despite his faith, is that Tebow is a good person.

I notice that Tebow is supposed to shut up in order to be "tolerant" of those who believe differently; but the others have zero "tolerance" for his beliefs.
We've come a long way: tolerance is now defined as shutting up so others won't be annoyed.

This young man is a gentleman. But he is not perfect, no one is and this will cost him. The first time he stumbles, they will come down on him like a ton of bricks. The media will follow him every step of his life.
On the other hand, Van Jones openly calls for revolution, destruction of our democracy, openly campaigns for 'redistribute the wealth", and everyone do "their share". This is called communism by violent revolution. Media....*crickets*

My thoughts exactly. The left seems to think that when a Christian sins, it's a black mark on Christianity and proves how wrong it is. They refuse so see that sinning is what Christianity is all about, a way to get closer to God in spite of our sins.
Tebow will stumble, and the press will be all over him for it, like were with Herman Cain.

Submitted by drsamherman on Thu, 12/15/2011 - 7:42pm.
As a Roman Catholic, but first as a devout Christian, I applaud Tim Tebow's willingness to thank the Almighty for his successes. That a modern post-college pro football player is happy, let alone willing, to make his faith a prominent part of his public life is nothing short of wonderful. I have no idea of what his private life is nor is that anyone's business but his, but his public behavior has been that of a fun-loving, hard-working and faithful gentleman. Certainly cannot say that about many pro football players with their endless public scandals and unearned egotism.

Tebow causes A LOT of discomfort. Given his missionary work and his boldness when it comes to his savior, he is a relentless reminder of how far the rest of us have to go. One can either be humbled by his example, or be enraged by it.

This is what happens to people that has spent their whole life as a liberal. They become hateful, bitter, illogical, ceasing to make sense of anything, if they ever did. This is also example #12,126,870 of the complete hypocrisy of liberals. They think themselves to be the most tolerant and enlightened among us then display their complete intolerance against any and everything they disagree with. Most people would quickly recognize this about themselves and either keep their mouth shut or change their views. Not liberals. They are so freaking dense that they see nothing wrong about things like this! Either that or they are aware of the hypocrisy and simply don't care. Either way, these people demonstrate that they are soulless ...

Once again, Tebow's critics show the effect of affirmative action as well as a decaying society.
He has chosen, for himself standards for his life, his behavior, and his profession. These standards are how he measures his own success and accomplishments.
Those that criticize him do so, not because of his religious beliefs, but because of the personal standards he has established that they can NEVER meet. His success in meeting his own standards exposes all of their failings in their personal life and professions. They do not see their own failings, so they knock him for having standards THEY cannot live up to. This allows them to once again, take no responsibility for the failings in their lives, but criticize him for unrealistic standards So they knock him for even having high expectations they will never reach rather than reflect upon their own lives. Some ugly people hate looking into a mirror.
The more successful he becomes, in all aspects of his life, the more they will show their hatred, not for him, but tor the level of morals and values he lives every day.

Submitted by cajun2 on Fri, 12/16/2011 - 2:35pm.
There is no question that many of Tebow's critics attack him for his religious beliefs. What I was trying to state is that even agnostics and atheists live by certain values and standards. There are people that do not believe in stealing, lying, adultery, murder of the unborn, but do not believe in a higher power.
The major complaint people have against Christians is their attempts to live a life dedicated to those values and standards. Lower standards of behavior, place yourself above all others, take no consequences for your behavior except to hire an expensive lawyer describes many of anti Christian bigots Criticizing others for their openly living with values and morals is just another way to justify ones narcissistic decadent lifestyle and make it appear as normal.
