Charles Barkley calls out "fake Christians"

[begin_within]

"And I think these Christians, first of all, they're not supposed to judge other people. But they're the most hypocritical judge of people we have in the country. And it bugs the hell out of me. They act like they're Christians. They're not forgiving at all."

10. Charles

I've always loved that man. He always cared about his teammates like an older brother. He speaks his mind, and usually does it with great wit. He's the real deal.

Charles Barkley: “I Was a Republican Until They Lost Their Minds”
7/20/06, 4:29 pm EST
The Round Mound of Rebound, who only a few years ago was rumored to be a top Republican contender for governor of Alabama, has defected.

Barkley made is Democratic proclivities known after John “Don’t Call Me Cougar” Mellencamp offended former veep Dan “I Spell it ‘Potatoe’” Quayle by dedicating a recent performance to: “all the poor people who’ve been ignored by the current administration.”

“He’s right,” Sir Charles said in an recent interview. “The word conservative means discriminatory practically. It’s a form of political discrimination. What do the Republicans run on? Against gay marriage and for a war that makes no sense. A war that was based on faulty intelligence. That’s all they ever talk about. That and immigration. Another discriminatory argument for political gain.”

talk to and about the christian right.
