NBA GREAT CHARLES BARKLEY CALLS CONSERVATIVES ‘FAKE CHRISTIANS’
I just lost all the respect I even had for Charles. See this video.

Remember.. this guy supports Obama. They enjoy attacking Christians..

He's entitled to his opinion...It doesn't change my mind about anything and I never had respect for him to start with!

I like his quote about how we as Christians forget the part of the Bible that says not to judge people...Seems to me he's forgotten several parts himself!

I agree - he can state his opinion, however extremely ridiculous and ignorant it is. Doesn't change my opinion of him. He's paid to play basketball and that doesn't require a degree in theology or politics.

I am glad the bible allows for righteous judgement...Without grace Charles Barkley isn't going to like his eternal judgement...but what would I know being a fake Christian and all...I think the word for that Mr. Charles is hypocriitical...

Let me expound further..

I just know barky.. from seeing him on the Tonight Show and other public events. I don't know anything/zilch about him or his past career. Thus I had the basic optimistic opinion that he was balanced.

When this video surfaced (because nobody watches CNN).. that basic opinion (allotted by us all) plummeted into the toilet. Yes... He can have his opinions but in speaking them publicly.. he demonstrates the empty fake he really is.

I disagree. I think he has a good point, but I disagree with his political stances.

That's fine. What you are missing is that this IS ALL political. The nature that he defines Conservatives only as Fake Christians.. means that he is attempting to separate the religious from the right. A classic Obama theme. Thus his intentions are fake.

2 words: Auburn University. 'Nuff said. We've put up with him for decades, now. I'm just glad the rest of the world has to listen to his political clap-trap. He used to say he was Republican, then he said several times he'd run for Gov. of Alabama. Later, he rebuffed suggestions that he said he was Republican. Now, this. He's like a yo-yo, changing directions as it strikes his mood ---- much like his comments on basketball have always been. He's just a classic blowhard, and I quit paying attention to him while he was still playing for Auburn. I mean, y'all, he went to AUBURN. C'mon! You've done well in ignoring him. I do not even vote for Auburn graduates. Never have, never will.

Wolf Blitzer was the one with the good point. Most Christians are sincere about their faith and unfortunately get lumped into a group filled with blatant hypocrites. I'm sure Barkley himself would like to be judged as an individual and not stereotyped into any particular group, especially for political purposes.

Remember.. this guy supports Obama. They enjoy attacking Christians..

I'm sorry, but what the deuce does Barkley's support of Obama have to do with anything? Are all candidates supported by loons guilty by association?

If this is a classic Obama theme, then sign me up. The religious right simply ain't, and I for one do not hold to the infallible faith of our fathers that the political right is married to Christianity.

Jesus is not a Republican! Or a Democrat!

Is there anything that you don't agree with the Democrats on? If so please explain. It's your time for your ideas to shine.

PREACH IT!!!

I strongly disagree with the party's stance on abortion which is why I have voted Republican the past few years. However, I am sick of being thrown the occasional bone by a party I don't particularly agree with on much else. I'm not an idealogue or a political philosopher, so I might disappoint on the idea front. I merely look at the two and decide who I disagree with less.

PREACH IT!!!

I would, but both sides would stone me.

both? there are only 2 sides?

interesting that it comes down to a pessimistic dichotomy. (which side of the two, you disagree with less) things that make you say hmmmm....
