Every time I hear the word "turble" or the word "Barkley" it makes me sick to my stomach.

So Sir Barkley (1) does not believe in diversity (2) does not allow others to think for themselves - the thought makes him sick to his stomach. Another Thought Police advocate no doubt. All libs are.

CNN Invites Charles Barkley to Trash Conservative ‘Fake Christians’
By Tim Graham | February 17, 2008 - 07:40 ET

Eyeblast has the video: On CNN’s The Situation Room on Friday, former NBA star (and current TNT basketball analyst) Charles Barkley trashed conservatives as “fake Christians.” You could tell how much CNN was going to enjoy this. At the top of the hour, anchorman Wolf Blitzer promised: “Plus, he’s rooting for Barack Obama and he’s taking shots at Republicans and the religious right. You’re going to find out who NBA great Charles Barkley is calling fake.” The screen graphic also read: “Barkley Takes on the Right: Blasts ‘Fake’ Christians.” Blitzer made no attempt to ask the basketball star how a “real” Christian can whole-heartedly support Obama’s liberal social agenda.

Does this mean Harry Reid is going to right a letter to Barkley’s boss?

Probably not.

Charles Barkley is a moron. He makes up crap when he is on the air. For instance, he said that the Boston Celtics are NOT a good team at the beginning of the season and he still doesn't. And the Celtics have the best record in the NBA at the half point...

If he doesn't know what the hell he is talking about when the subject is about Professional Basketball... why would anyone care what he has to say about conservatives?

Charles Barkley? I remember him. He’s the genius who once told an interviewer, “I can dribble with my right hand, and I can dribble with my left hand. I’m amphibious!”

He also said the Golden State Warriors had "zero chance" against the Mavs last year, even after they went up 2-0. He is just a dim-witted fool. Fools will say anything.

An imbecile who knows how to bounce a basketball. BFD. I wouldn’t even want to see this kind of nonsense posted, but we have devolved into a society which gets its information and opinions from minstrels, jugglers and clowns.

BARKLEY: Hey, I live in Arizona. I have got great respect for Senator McCain. Great respect. But I don’t like the way the Republicans are taking this country. Every time I hear the word “conservative,” it makes me sick to my stomach, because they’re really just fake Christians, as I call them. That’s all they are. But I just — I’m going to vote Democratic no matter what.

*****

Barkley discussed how he plans to run for Governor of Alabama in 2014.

Gee, when I want information about a Presidential candidate, I always look to has-been thugs with an IQ equal to their game average.
