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"

I haven’t seen McCain use racism yet. He has used the fact that Barry is a socialist.

Kooky leftists. They are kooky.

Ah Charles Barkley, is he the newest DEM brain trust?

Barkley was a great player, but always a loose cannon. Remember when he tried to spit on someone, maybe a photographer, and instead spit - albeit accidentally - on a little girl? Signs are that he’ll always be bitter that he was unable to lead Auburn, the 76’ers, Suns and Rockets to one championship. Poor Chuck.

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.

I agree. Is it racism when a person votes for race over political principles? (Not that I would ever call Charles Barkley a racist to his face.)

The more the left speaks, the better it is for McCain. What have we heard in the last couple of days? Biden ($150K defines rich), A second Bill of Rights, 401Ks to be replaced by gov't pension, ... These dems are having a premature something or another, and their plans are coming out (no pun intended) at just the right time.

Charles, do you know what one of my favorite commercial lines is?

“Oh, I’m sorry...Are you his dad?”

...but I believe if Obama loses I could lose a lot of friends and it will be ugly.

Then they were never realy your friends to begin with. Can you really befriend those who vote color over character?

With all due respect to the vast political acumen of Charles Barkley, without help, the guy couldn’t put his jock on right.

In hindsight, it’s clear Barkley should have played basketball wearing a helmet...

Charles is/was married to a white woman. He might want to decide which side he is on. Can you imagine how his children feel? Very confused about their identity.

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

O.K. if that is what it takes.

The objective here is that Obummer is not elected to be dogcatcher, let alone POTUS. If racism is the reason he is defeated, I would support those who hold that view in this case(ends....means).

Obama will most likely destroy my country that I have loved for 71 years. Now that Obama has come along, I have a tendency to thank God (in this instance) for the old redneck racists who will not vote for a black no matter what.

We can deal with them whenever a conservative black person runs for pres.

Using ads portraying “Reverend” Wright is now considered racist.

Too bad Obama didn't go to a white church, then no one could have called the ads racist because the pastor would have been white. Yup, too bad Obama was racist and went to a black church instead of a white church.

To quote the Round Mound of Rebound after a terrible loss in Los Angeles to the Lakers at the Forum in 1987, the combination of Charles Barkley and his mouth is a “bad team, man..bad ***kin team.”

McCain is not using racism, but Obama is using racism.

The truth is that McCain can only win if there is more racism than we think. But that would mean that the Democrats are more racist than we think... That the Democrats who said they were voting for McCain were in fact voting for McCain because of their racism.
