On a CNN special hosted by Chris Cuomo on Thursday night about the religious freedom laws, former NBA great and TNT NBA analyst Charles Barkley offered his open on that issue.

According to Barkley, he sees those laws as having more than meets the eye motivating them.

“Listen, I don’t think gay people went out to try to go after, they came out as a gay people let get that straight,” Barkley said.

All this is too much to handle for one month. With the SCOTUS set to screw Americans and States’ rights over in a few weeks, and this crap to contend with, it’s all depressing and overwhelming.

[Maelstorm]

Barkley is a useful idiot. He’s morphing into an Al Sharpton who knows how to play basketball.

[concerned about politics]

When Isis comes after those phags with murderous intent, they will be screaming like little girls, hiding behind those well armed Christian rednecks.

Well, I don't think the victimized Christian rednecks are going to take kindly to the homos either. My guess is they'll just be too busy to answer their doors when the homos come knocking.

[BigCinBigD]

Who?

[RitaOK]

This is much more about a gay lynch mob using their Rules for Anal Radicals to discriminate against the Bible, and to oppress Christian free speech. They want to avoid getting their tainted a$$ handed to them in court for forcing Christian participation in their faux “marriage” stage productions.

They may have stolen the word, but will never steal the Truth.

And this idiot has hinted about running for Gov in Alabama in the past.....

[cripplecreek]

Guess he’s cool with the fact that concentration camp victims were forced to perform for the nazis.

[McGruff]

Charles Barkley. Another reason to watch NASCAR and not the NBA.

[cdcdawg]

That would pretty severely limit his comments, which would be a good thing.

Barles Charkley should limit his comments to things he knows something about.

Which in his case would pretty much mean don't say anything.

[ealgeone]

Barles Charkley should limit his comments to things he knows something about.

That will narrow his discussions considerably.

Just as importantly...HUH?

“Listen, I don’t think gay people went out to try to go after, they came out as a gay people let get that straight,” Barkley said.

I can't make heads or tails of this. I don't know what he means, and I'm not sure even Mr. Barkley himself knows what he was trying to say here. Seems to be a completely nonsensical statement of some kind, utterly devoid of meaning.

I wonder why he even bothered to say anything at all, if this was what he had to offer.

[combat_boots]

They’d best not try to hide behind this one. Who could possibly trust their six to such as these?

[Alex Murphy]

nothing says moral beacon like a guy with multiple mugshots

He was good at basketball. Therefore, he's an expert in everything!

[RightGeek]

No, Chuckles. It’s about forcing people to participate in a travesty of a sacred religious ceremony.

[Regal]

Forcing anyone to have sex is rape. Gay or straight.

[concerned about politics]

No, Chuckles. It’s about forcing people to participate in a travesty of a sacred religious ceremony.

I wouldn't make a cake for a NAMBLA party celebrating the adoption of a couple of young boys. I wouldn't make a cake for an abortion celebration. I wouldn't make a cake for any left wing Satanic ritual - Ever.

[Colonel_Flagg]

Barkley should take another shot at reading the good book before passing that judgment on people of faith...

Fixed it.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Don’t be dissin’ rednecks.
