Charles Barkley: Conservatives are "Fake Christians"

I know athletes are not always the smartest guys, but Charles Barkley sounds completely idiotic in his interview with Wolf Blitzer, where he calls conservatives "fake Christians."

According to Charles, Christians are supposed to be in favor of abortion, gay marriage and whatever else Charles says they are supposed to believe. The funny thing is that Charles announced he will run for governor of Alabama in 2014 when he becomes eligible. Something tells me he destroyed his chances in this 2 minute interview.

I wonder if TNT will fire Barkley - if a conservative (let's say Rush Limbaugh) said anything even close to this on ESPN, I am pretty sure he would be canned immediately...oh yes, that already happened.
