Charles Barkley to Alabama: “We’ve got to Stop Looking like Idiots to the Nation”
FinkelBlog ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 12/12/2017 4:36:07 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Morning Joe opened today’s show by insisting that Steve Bannon had insulted Alabama when he suggested that University of Alabama alum Joe Scarborough, unlike Bannon, couldn’t get into Georgetown or Harvard.

If that was an insult to Alabama, it was something of a three-rail bank shot. But a bit later, Morning Joe aired a clip of Roy Moore foe Charles Barkley insulting Alabamians in the most explicit terms. Said Barkley:

“At some point, we’ve got to stop looking like idiots to the nation.”

I’ll never forget or forgive him for bad mouthing the US back when he was playing in the Olympics.

Actually, Charles does have some cache in Alabama. In a state that has no major professional sports, college athletes are tops. In fact, they just unveiled a statue of Barkley outside the Jurden-Hare field before the Alabama game 2 weeks ago.

He's a bit of a legend, at least with 1/2 the state. Perhaps reviled by the other 1/2.

I will wager, however, that he's converted zero potential Moore voters to the other side.

Interesting info: thanks.

And agreed: I don’t think he will convert many people by calling them idiots.

He could help by leaving the state.

So, a black man is campaigning for a white politician who wants to put an abortion “clinic” on every corner in black neighborhoods. Hmmm...
