Hillary Clinton just got an endorsement by Magic Johnson today, and CNN being biased didn't cover that, but rather the endorsement of Obama by Charles Barkley. For some reason Wolf Blitzer decided just now to do a live interview with him.
Barkley goes on to say how the conservatives aren't real Christians because they judge people and how Gay people should be allowed to get married because it's nobodys business what they do in private. Wolf Blitzer then tried to make Barkley backpeddle by pointing out he'll probably be attacked for this and he said "I don't care they don't pay my bills" I LOVE IT!
I just watched this live and go figure it's already on Google news.. check out what they say:
-----------------------------
NBA legend Charles Barkley took some time on Friday to throw his support behind presidential hopeful Barack Obama and then added a few choice jabs at the Christian right, calling many of them hypocrites for judging others.
Barkley appeared in an interview with Wolf Blitzer on CNN on Friday and gave reasons behind his support for Obama over Hillary Clinton and then quickly moved into his personal support for gay marriage and a woman’s right to choose.
It was the latter two issues that Barkley berated the Christian right, declaring the formidable group were hypocrites for passing judgment on others, in apparent conflict with their very beliefs.
Blitzer asked Barkley if he was comfortable with the remarks he made and warned him that he would likely get several responses about his comments to which Barkley shrugged of saying, “I don’t work for them.”
Asked why he supported Obama over Clinton the 11-time NBA All-Star noted the need for more black role models outside the arena of sports and entertainment. Barkley took exception to the argument that Obama didn’t carry enough foreign policy experience by noting that the Illinois senator would be surrounded by advisers who would be skilled in such areas. source
