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.”

Pro campaigning tip for Sir Charles: you’re not going to persuade many voters by calling them idiots.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Sounds like he’s secretly campaigning for Moore, by making Jones look as bad as possible. How clever!

Bless your heart, “Sir” Charles. In your case, that train has long since left the station.

“But there seems to have been an actual decline in rational thinking. The United States had become a place where entertainers and professional athletes were mistaken for people of importance. They were idolized and treated as leaders; their opinions were sought on everything and they took themselves just as seriously — after all, if an athlete is paid a million or more a year, he knows he is important… so his opinions of foreign affairs and domestic policies must be important, too, even though he proves himself to be both ignorant and subliterate every time he opens his mouth. (Most of his fans were just as ignorant and unlettered; the disease was spreading.)”
– Robert A. Heinlein

They’d rather look like accusers without proof...guilt upon supposition, not facts. Jumpers to conclusions. False news believers. Gullible believers of fake news. Sure that’s better!

We would truly be idiots if we allowed the Democrats to regain the power we fought so hard to take away from them. especially since they clearly haven’t learned their lesson.

In other words, believe everything everyone says every moment of the day and do not use your own judgment.

TRUST MEDIA

When celebrities get involved in elections they are giving away a commodity that they have - fame, to the campaign. At this point I feel that whatever speaking or appearance fees that a celebrity generally gets should be taken as the value of what they give to a particular campaign when they stump for someone. If that value is greater than the allowed individual donation amount, it should be considered a campaign finance law violation.

Much like Rachel Maddow , Barkley is more comparable
to a road apple.

Says the moron that got stopped for speeding while drunk.

When the cop asked him what the hurry was he said he had to go find the tranny hooker again " 'cause it was the best b*** j** I ever had."
