"Let's not be niggardly, now!"
LOL! You beat me to it!
i am unable to see the video, however what hannity had on his radio brodcast today was 'cracker' without a doubt
But...But...But Sean Hannity said all day that this was a developing story. How can it be?!?
activists “crackers“; Update: “trackers” was the word
NOT SO. IT WAS Cracker!!
I first posted this early this morning.

While watching Brit Hume last night (Special Report on FOX) and the segment on the latest Harold Ford Ad being run by the RNC, I was shocked, shocked I say, when I thought for a moment my ears had deceived me.
I “thought” I heard Harold Ford Sr.(D. Former Congressman) utter what is commonly referred to by most as a “racial slur.”
While talking on the phone Senior referred to someone (a white person) as a “Cracker.”

I heard it live last night and did not do anything with it until I found clip on Fox.
Even so, I listened to it at least 12 times before posting.
ALL I SUGGEST IS THAT EVERYONE LISTEN TO IT FOR THEMSELVES and then, as Fox is fond of saying, It has been reported---you decide!!!!
But the word "trackers" is clearly meant to be a racist term. It is very insensitive and plays on the old stereotypes.
It does sound like "cracker" to me...but he's got a heavy accent so it is hard to tell.
Still, if he said "tracker" it is still racially insenstive and plays to the old stereotypes.
You are correct,,,Folks in the South know what he said...
It was "tracker". Would have been nice if he had used that derogatory term, but definitely not so.
"But the word "trackers" is clearly meant to be a racist term"
Perhaps this is a racial slur directed at American Indians who were "trackers" for the army.
Trackers??? What hell's tracker's?
hannity had it on his radio show and it was definately cracker
Hannity just said on H&C that he thought Mr. Ford said 'a derogatory word' but he has changed his mind, and that Mr. Ford told him in a phone call he said 'tracker'.
Packers. Hmmm. That could be Barney Frank and Mark Foley he's talking about, too. I wonder if they were there?
Nope! All of Georgia and only northern Florida. Central and southern Floridians are more properly called Yankees and Cubans
I heard "cracker" but Ford Jr. called Sean and said the word used was "tracker" so, Sean apologized and will have Jr. on his radio show tomorrow. Isn't that sweet? (I still believe the word used was cracker)
