Angry black "journalists" claim Bonds indictment is about race

ESPN loudmouth Stephen A. Smith seems to be unclear on what Barry Bonds was indicted for, while Detroit News columnist Rob Parker ties the Bonds indictment in with Rodney King:





Uh...Steven A.? Barry Bonds was not indicted for using steroids he was indicted for lying to the feds and obstructing an investigation into BALCO. Had he fessed up, sure his legacy would have been tainted but he likely would have avoided legal trouble and probably could have continued his career like Jason Giambi.


Not even being talked about right now...Bonds' little problem with the IRS.


But you guys go right ahead and play that race card.


And speaking of that...we just knew that the Mouth of the South Charles Barkley would have something to say about this:

I don't like it when people play the race card.

And then watch as he does just that:

Barry Bonds is a LIAR? (Updated)

NO!



Couldn't happen to a nicer guy...

(Update) The asterisk tries to distance itself from Bonds...

I still don't give a #$%&...

But I thought I'd post a few other reactions...

From Steve Breen of the San Diego Union Tribune, via a friend who emailed it to me this morning:




Annika, formerly of Annika's Journal and always a breath of fresh air at Six Meat Buffet, made a triumphant return to the blog world with this:

And Barry's shrunken nads had this to say:

Unfortunately, during a time that should be all about celebration and joy, there remain many naysayers out there who question the ethics of this baseball legend. Allegations of steroid use continue to hang over our heads which threatens to put an asterisk alongside Barry’s home run record.

As one who is very close to the situation, I say these charges are rubbish. I am no physician, but from what I know, steroids are supposed to bulk you up. Create massive amounts of muscle. I can testify that this is not the case here.

Me? I'm sticking with this:

Barroid hits 756
