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.”

Was just checking my yahoo email and saw the ‘news’ that

a/ ‘They dug up something he(Moore) said years ago about ‘abolishing’ all amendments after the 11th(??)
AND
b/ His wife (supposedly) said ‘Why we have a Jewish lawyer in our firm’.....

Sorry, when it comes to certain ‘news outlets’ I get all I ‘need’ out of the headline...

No they have not learned their lesson and most likely never will. They think 2016 was an anomaly but the true anomaly was electing bho....twice.

Libs are outing themselves daily as the freaks and crazies they are. Their brains just aren’t wired correctly. They cannot see nor handle truth and this country has been paying the price for allowing them to gain any sort of power. No more. They need to be eradicated from all power structures.

"At some point, we’ve got to stop looking like idiots to the nation."

I agree, Charles. A good first step would be for you to disappear from the public eye completely.

I guess Barkley and other Dems don’t how low the regard is that Middle America has for Black Athletes who try to tell them how to act or what to think.

I guess they forgot to check the NFL ratings.

The man (Heinlein) was an incredible observer of the human condition.

He had a lot of great stuff, but he also had a fair amount of crap, especially in his early years. For example, he was originally a big fan of sexual libertinism and thought monogamy was a horrible thing. I don't know if he changed his mind on that stuff or not.

I hate to say this about Barkley, but in terms of celebrity status....at best, he’s a ‘4’ on a scale of one to ten.

If you follow basketball...you might know of him. Beyond that, I’d say that about 60-percent of Alabamians absolutely know nothing of the guy. Maybe 20-percent will say he’s a sports figure but suggest that it’s major league baseball or NFL action. Beyond that, I doubt if you can find more than 3-percent of the adults in the state who value his opinion on something beyond basketball.

You’ll notice they had a pile of killings in Chicago and a terror attack in NY.

So Alabama is looking pretty good right now.

Right! And if you elect a Liberal Democrat like Jones, you will not only look like idiots--but you will BE idiots!

MESSAGE TO ALABAMA:

Do not fall for it!

Do not let the forces of decadence trick you into electing a Liberal Democrat! Remember: Their fondest dream is the destruction of America!

Had to wait 23 posts until a posting warden weighed in. Now all is right with FR family again. It just wouldn’t be the same w/o them.
