NBA's Charles Barkley: McCain Can Only Win By Using Racism

Are you getting tired of being told that you're a racist if you vote for John McCain?

Well, former NBA star Charles Barkley basically told Campbell Brown that on CNN Monday, and went so far as saying: "The only way they can win this election is make it about race. That's the only way they can win it."

Barkley also told Brown that "the polls are flat-out useless" because "most people who are racists, they're not going to answer the question correctly"

Time for all to do the little things until the big things get changed.
Excellent turn of a phrase.

Man its going to be awful come Nov. 5. I have lots and lots of black friends. We have not said one word to each other about this election but I believe if Obama loses I could lose a lot of friends and it will be ugly.

Charles quote from 17 years ago:

“With the Republicans in power I’m a rich, black man, if the Democrats get control I’ll just be a black man.”

Has Barkley been hiding in a crack house for the last 6-months?
Maybe someone should tell him that the RATs are playing the race card, and he should SIUHA!

No more watching NBA games where Barkley appears as an analyst.

I’m just going to answer, “Because I’m a racist,” and be done with it.

Yeah, being called a racist all the time means you might as well get some of the benefits from it.

"Racism!" jumped the shark a few months ago.

I hope you don't lose a lot of friends because of this. That would be a shame.

I knew someone in Vegas,who would watch Barkley play blackjack. He played so bad that it was a joke around the
casino.

I hope the left keeps spouting this nonsense. Might turn off a lot of independents and undecideds and turn them our way.

Too bad Barkley turned to the Dems. He and Rush had a mutual admiration going and Charles said he wanted to get into politics when he was a conservative. That didn’t last.

Barkley claimed he was misquoted in his own book.

Hey Charles, throw any white guys through a window lately?

On an almost similar note, I’m seriously considering sending out an e-mail to ALL my contacts and asking every one of them if they are voting oBama, and if they are, to please never call me, write me or even say hello. You vote for him, you hate America and you hate me. Any friends lost are a net gain. I do not care anymore.

Chuck is always all over the place, he used to be a Republican and was interviewed for the Limbaugh Letter, he let his better judgement be swamped by the overwhelming “mainstream” anti-Republican rhetoric. Guess he got tired of being called an “Uncle Tom” and “Oreo”.

I’ll always have a small soft spot for him as I was often compared to him on the basketball court, the guy built like a football player who kept blowing by people and jumping over them, except I’m white.
