Googling "Danica Patrick" you'll find similar nasty blogs and tired rhetoric - how she doesn't belong, why she can't and will never win, how she is "harming" NASCAR for everyone, etc, etc. Well have a cold one, boys.

The only difference with Wie is, Danica didn't have to deal with Limbaugh's overmedicated butt.

Actually it would not. It would still be wrong to kill innocent children.
You do bring up an interesting issue though. When a woman gets pregnant with THEIR child, a woman can choose to have the child TERMINATED and what can the father do. Absolutely nothing. So much for equal rights.

As to Wie - she should qualify first in LPGA events before given pass to try for the Open like everyone else. Being a woman at 16 is not a qualifier. And, men who don't make it to PGA main events should be allowed to compete for prizes at LPGA events as well.
************************

What free pass did she get for the Open. She qualified through a local qualifier to earn her right to play in sectional just like everyone else.

As regards the lpga thing, it has been discussed many times.
lpga = womens.
senior = men over 50.
pga = the best, no matter what age, no matter what gender. Anyone can apply.

George,
She entered the US Open qualifying in order to try to qaulify for the US Open. It's easy to understand really.

*How dare [white males] pretend to know anything more than what resorts provide which ammenities to how many people?*

At least the white males might know how to fracking spell amenities, RM.

OK, OK, it is indeed bad form to do gotchas on a typo or English. Look at how dumb Norman appeared when he tried to pull that on me.

But seriously, volks, let's see what else Mein Herr Mon has to say in his racist diatribe.

Like so many overseers who operate the Far Left plantation, Herr Mon is the one obsessed with race:

*What could they ever know about being Korean on a Hawaiian island, with supportive parents who encourage her to achieve the most distant goal?*

Michelle is of Korean ethnicity? So what? Who cares? Why do you bring it up?

What's really the point, Herr Mon, of you bringing that up? Could it be that you're the one fixated on racial issues?

In Herr Mon's world, no one can be allowed to criticize Michelle Wie because those critic must be racist paranoids who fear the "Yellow Peril."

For me, I'm simply pointing out a flaw in Wie's game that existed one year ago and exists a year later: WIE CAN'T PUTT UNDER PRESSURE!!!

Got it? Not Wie, the Korean teenage female can't putt. Rather, it is Wie, the GOLFER, who all too often boots putts when the chips are down.

So, Herr Mon, why don't you actually reply to the arguments that are being made instead of lurching into some tangent about how white males are sitting around trying to figure out how to subjugate women. That's if you can take time out from your duties on the Far Left Plantation.

Maybe you have some stats to show that Wie's putts are improving. Maybe her putts per 18 holes is getting better. I really don't know. Perhaps Wie's putting has improved.

But it does seem that putts continue to be the albatross for Wie the Golfer. (That's golfer, not the way you see Wie, Herr Mon: Wie the Korean female.)

** I shudder to think of the type of parents, siblings, or uncles that these bloggers might make one day, if they are to deny their own the same opportunities that they deny Michelle Wie.**

No more than we shudder when we read one of your commentaries, figuring you couldn't possibly sound more silly than your previous commnentary -- and then get proved wrong in our prediction.

And catch a clue, my race-obsessed friend. No one, Herr Mon, is attempting to deny Michelle Wie anything.

And how could anyone deny her? She has $10 million a year in her back pocket. I assure you there will be a DTTV, cinema, or MFTV movie about her within two years if she even gets close to any of her goals, or if she wins an LPGA tournament at a record-low age. Maybe she'll star in it too.

Only Michelle Wie can derail Michelle Wie.

Because at some point, Wie's success will transform her into a Tiger-like transcendent figure, or be seen as an over-rated golfer suited for triva questions.

In-between seems unlikely, due to the hype heaped on Wie.

Wie attempted to qualify for the U.S. Open as a publicity stunt. She failed to qualify -- and she probably knew she would fail.

But she also knew she would get the publicity she craves to keep her marketing machine sated and plump.

For Wie, mission accomplished. But you already knew that was her primary goal, didn't you, Herr Mon.

Ron,

Don't try to divert the issue. You know as well as I do that I was only (in responding to THIS piece) taking issue with the gratuitous and unjustifiable condemnation of white men in that stupid book you quoted. Put your pants back on, boy.

MK,

She was qualifying fairly for the men's tournament, just like everyone else. She qualifies for the women's open based on her world ranking. If men played in women's events, they would reduce the courses to par-three events, with 300+ yard drives on 320 yard par four holes. All par five hole would be reduced to nothing. It must remain thus, with women allowed to qualify for men's events, but not the other way around.

Smails, you puny magistrate. You use trendy sound bites like "fashionable"; "gutless wonders"; "race-card-playing jerk" and "gutless wonders," and even try to invent your own coined phrase: melanin-advantaged folks. However, you depend on vitriole to the tune of "so confused"; "invidiously biased"; and "blows it out of the water."

The truth is, no one can possibly mount a defense of "Michelle Wie should not play in men's events" as it would amount to a violation of equal rights, human rights, and general good will. Bark up another tree, Smails.
