The Dana Jacobson F-Word: Forgiveness
Original Air Date: February 3, 2008
Show Category:
Media/Print
Show Description: Did you hear this week what surfaced out of the Mike & Mike Roast in Atlantic City? Apparently Dana Jacobson had a bit too much Belvedere Vodka and decided to, amongst other things, say F@#* Jesus. Now if she would have said F@#* Mohammad there would be riots in the streets of Tehran. If she would have said F@#* fagots, there certainly would have been a backlash from the gay community. If she would have said F@#* Jews, I am sure the ADL would have her job on a platter. But Jacobson offered an apology, and here's my stance. As Christians, the only F-word that matters in this situation is: Forgiveness.

Allen's Legal Pad for The Dana Jacobson F-Word: Forgiveness
Why is it Ok to bash Christians but not blacks, Jews, Muslims, or other groups?
Dana Jacobsen back on air this week
One week suspension at ESPN
Drunken tirade at roast for Mike and Mike show
Drinking vodka straight from Belvedere bottle
Speaking F Notre Dame, F Touchdown Jesus, F Jesus
CLIP of what she said
Outrage began
Charlie Weis sitting right there head coach of Notre Dame
Catholic League and others demanding her termination
If she said F blacks, or F muslims, or F Jews can you imagine the outcry
When Rush Limbaugh suggested Donovan McNabb treated differently because he was black ESPN could not get him off the team quickly enough
Don Imus, Al Campanis
Some Jews still not willing to speak with Jesse Jackson for his remarks years ago abut Hymie-Town
Mel Gibson been vilified for remarks about Jews even after he apologized
Ask Salman Rushdie what happens when speak ill of Muslims not mention Theo van Gogh
But Dana Jacobson takes it to a whole new level against Christians
And ESPN merely suspended her for a week
Lines for that job would be as long as the Boston Marathon she can go be a waitress at TGIFriday's
But they chose merely to suspend her- after all, it is just Christians
Not like it was Muslims, blacks, Jews, gays, et al
So Monday night she was back at work on Sports Center set
And she apologized
AUDIO CLIP
Patrick Mahoney Christian Defense Coalition demanding more
One week suspension not enough termination, sensitivity training
You know what?
She apologized and I believe her
I accept her apology
And the central point of the Christian faith is forgiveness
She is right we all screw up
We all need a second chance and a third
And that is what makes Christians Christian
Forgiveness and the belief that God is a second chance God
Lighten up, show the grace that you need in your own life and give her a shot
Reformed Presbyterian church - justice, candor, ...
What about grace?
Grey's anatomy Isaiah Washington use of epithet for gays
Mel Gibson family guy apology
Imus clip and apology
Eddie Murphy as Jesse Jackson clip
