Liberal Comedy? 'Conservative White Republicans' Accept One Black Golfer – Tiger Woods

By Matt Hadro | August 27, 2011 | 14:30

A  A

Liberal comedienne Sara Benincasa ridiculed conservatives Wednesday for criticizing President Obama's vacation to Martha's Vineyard. Benincasa joked to guest host Don Lemon on the Joy Behar Show that "right-wing conservative white Republicans will only accept one black man on the golf course in the world ever."

Probably referring to Wednesday's earthquake, Benincasa added that the Republicans "think that was God telling him [Obama] to get off the course."

[Video below the break.]

Guest host Don Lemon teed up the comedian by asking the loaded question "I mean, being a leader of the free world is very stressful. Shouldn't he [Obama] be able to take a vacation once in a while?"

Benincasa then joked about Republicans and noted that the only black golfer they will accept for their "native sport" of golf is Tiger Woods. "And they made that decision in the '90s with a kid from Stanford who's really great, I think," Benincasa mockingly remarked. "He's great with the ladies."

"So it's weird to them and they do not like him taking over their native sport."

A transcript of the segment, which aired on August 24 at 10:19 p.m. EDT, is as follows:

DON LEMON: And talking about the President. He's taking heat for going on vacation with his family, Martha`s Vineyard at that. That's where he is. So, I mean, right-wing blogs even mocked him for missing a golf putt because of the earthquake. I mean, being a leader of the free world is very stressful. Shouldn't he be able to take a vacation once in a while?


SARA BENINCASA, comedian: Well you know, Don, I don't know if you know this but right-wing conservative white Republicans will only accept one black man on the golf course in the world ever. And they made that decision in the '90s with a kid from Stanford who's really great, I think. He's great with the ladies. So it's weird to them and they do not like him taking over their native sport.

(Laughter)

BENINCASA: They do not – they object to that. So they think that was God telling him to get off the course.

One Question:

Submitted by djwolf12 on Sat, 08/27/2011 - 2:49pm.

Who the hell is Sara Benincasa? Never heard of her. Is she atleast funny? Is she trying to be funny? If she is appearing on Headline News on the Joy Behar show, she isn't a has-been, she is a "never-was" trying to get exposure for her flaming ignorance..

Rush was right last week. Ultra Liberals have absolutely no sense of humor.

What this dumb twit must not

Submitted by tommyd on Sat, 08/27/2011 - 5:50pm.

What this dumb twit must not understand is that membership on the PGA Tour is dictated by mainly one thing...

The golfers ability.....

You might be rich beyond most others dream but if you can't post the scores you ain't gonna be playing on the PGA Tour...

This stupid woman can scream racist all she wants but it has no bearing what so ever as the field is regulated on one criterion and only one. .. Can you post the score... Can you play the game better than the next guy.

There is no where to hide on the PGA tour. You post your score every day with everyone else,

You can't "ride the bench" and hide your inability.. Its strictly put up or shut up...

The PGA Tour is a truly "International" field with players from all over the world and of all kinds of ethnicity competing against each other. Any one of these men can win on any given weekend, there is no good old boys system shaving strokes off the white guys score at the end of the day...

Liberals just inject racism in their failing attempt to keep the peasants on the plantation.

Liberalism, Truly a mental disorder.

regarding Charles Barkley's 2002 stupid athelete comment

Submitted by Rackie on Sat, 08/27/2011 - 6:38pm.

"What's up with Charles Barkley's comments about Augusta National? Is he lobbying for Al Sharpton's job or is he simply as dumb as his mouth is big? News flash for you, Charles: Augusta National is lengthening the course to change with the times. Tiger Woods is not the only guy who can blast the pill down the fairway 300-plus yards. Last I saw, John Daly is leading the tour in driving distance. And besides, if you knew anything about golf you would know that the cliché Drive for show, putt for dough is more than a cliché; it is a six-word phrase that captures the most important aspect of the game: how well you hit approaches, chips, pitches, flops and putts".
—Tom Andrews, Hoboken, N.J.

of course, TW is so over and Charles Barkley is the worst golfer ever.

Liberals/Bigots

Submitted by spikebu2 on Sun, 08/28/2011 - 4:13am.

Tiger Woods is not a "black golfer". He is a GREAT golfer. When I hear Tiger Woods, my first thought is not black. Hell, black is so far down the list, I'm not sure it even registers. His back (not black) swing is perfection. The kid is poetry in motion! Why does this Harridan focus on he's black? Because she's a bigot. Since she feels it, we all must feel it. That's the way they think. Screw them! I am not a bigot. I refuse to be labeled as a bigot to assuage their own guilty feelings. Stop the Leftist Bigots! Let them own their own feelings. I wont accept their guilt any longer. Today I say, "No more!" You want to be a racist, you can no longer hide behind me. I refuse the role of co-dependent in the Left's racist, anti-Semitic campaign. I will call you out at every opportunity. I know what you accuse me of is what you are guilty of. I will shout it to the world.

using the widest brush possible with which to paint conservatives. People like this ditz are expert at insulting generalizations as if they can somehow magically perceive the stain of racism in each and every conservative heart. This habit of mass condemnation absent any fact reveals a weak and slothful cast of mind, and deserves to be disdained and ignored. And so it is.

But Tiger Woods says he not black

Submitted by Jack Bauer on Sun, 08/28/2011 - 12:42pm.

The funniest thing about a so-called comedian (of whom I have never heard) is that she thinks Tiger Woods is "black."

Mmm. sounds like Ms White Wottsaface is a bit of a racialist presuming to tell Tiger what his race is.

A few years back, Tiger Woods appeared on Oprah Winfrey’s popular day-time television show and told the host that he considered himself “Cablinasian,” something he’d awkwardly concocted to make a point.

Tiger insisted that his Caucasian, black, American Indian, and Asian heritage defied the simplistic color-coded racial logic that the government as well as the arbiters of racial authenticity demand we all fit into.

Submitted by jon_torlin on Sun, 08/28/2011 - 1:14pm.

I was about to bring up the same thing. I don't consider Woods a black guy.  I never did when I first heard of him years ago.  My first impression was that he had some asian in him, and that was correct.

Like Soetoro, he's a mixed race.  Soetoro isn't black not even by half, he's got a small part of him that is that.

But these frelling leftists bring that "black" out for one reason and for one reason ONLY.  To foment/promote racial division and keep that hatred alive.

Oh and if there's some form asking me what race I am, I put "Human" in the "other" line.
