Better a cracker than a skinny little racist black kid from Kenya.

The term Cracker is definitely equivalent to the N word.
Cracker is a shortened of whip cracker which refers to whip wielding slave owners.
Personally I have never owned a slave.
I have family that goes back to the civil war that fought to free the ancestors of those that continue to use this term liberaly.
This Jerk needs to be fired from the wish wrap that he works for because of his racist statements.

Ironic, isn't it, that Obama is half black and half white and Joe Biden is all white, making the Democratic Party ticket 3/4 white! White as cracked wheat Wonder!

I’m a “Joe the Plumber’s crack” cracker. And salty, too.

I would never vote for a black socialist, any more than I would vote for a white, yellow, brown, red, or especially Red, socialist.

Don't you just love the way SOME folks can toss around racial epithets and never suffer any consequences, but another group uses a racial epithet and hysteria ensues? The inequity in that situation just never ceases to amaze me!

After listening to Jami Floyd one day, on the former Court TV, regarding the EVIL inherent in the use of the “N word” and the legal action anyone using it could face, my thoughts couldn't help but stray to Rev. Wright and the “evil whitey”. Has he faced any legal action lately? I didn't think so.

> John Baer at the Philadelphia Daily News... [sez] that the “Cracker Effect” is why McCain continues to campaign in PA despite sagging polls numbers.

It’s part of the oft-regurgitated Demwit talking point that Obama won’t get the support of racist white voters who otherwise always vote for the Demwit candidate.

Oft repeated Democrat soundbites, talking points, phrases

Oh, thanks for the coupons! My husband thinks Barnes & Noble is my vacation home. I spend a lot of time there—and drink lots of coffee—it's the last place I'd riot!

OK, so call me a flippin' racist cracker. Call me whatever. I'm still voting for McCain and I will continue to urge others to do the same. The MSM, Obama, ACORN, and the Chicago Mafia can't stop me from doing so. In fact, by November 5, we'll see that they can't do much of anything except riot in small pockets of cities like Detroit and LA.

In other words, they're losing the argument and all they have left is to call people names. "Cracker" "Racist" "Homophobe". Nothing of substance left, and they can't possibly logically defend their potential leader's goals. He's a flippin' commie and they don't dare say that out loud.

Good evening.

Let's see...I was raised in central FL. Good hunting, air boats, alligators, sugar cane, rattle snakes, moccasins and get this, cattle. Lot's of them. Second biggest producer of beef at the time. Had to herd them doggies. Whips and horses, sometimes dogs, to round them up. Get them off to market in KC, Chitown or wherever.

Hot work with the sun beating down on your neck. Crack of the whip, and you get rednecks and crackers. Interesting how stereotypes get started.

In the fwiw department, the First lady (my wife) doesn't like the terms, "redneck," or "cracker."

Don't you know? Black people CAN NOT be racist! See, they don't have "the power!"

So when I was in 7th grade, back in 1975, as the only white kid on my school bus, and as I was being beaten bloody by 3 or 4 black kids while being called "whitey" and "kike," it wasn't really any sort of a "hate crime" (they didn't call it that back then, anyway) or even a big deal, since I was the one who had "the power."

They use the words (like "racist") like a gun, but they depend on US to give them the ammunition to use against us, i.e. "white guilt." Ayn Rand wrote about the concept, though not in this context in "Atlas Shrugged." Hank Reardon allowed his enemies to destroy him through his guilt, which really wasn't his.

I refuse to hold or be swayed by guilt for something I didn't do. I don't give a damn if someone calls me a racist, I just look them in the eye and tell them I'm not one, and calling me racist isn't going to make me racist. Then I usually ask them if they even know what the word means, and I give them an unwanted education.

Went through the same thing, briefly, at about 8 or 9. The ‘powers that be’ that ran the elementary school would do nothing about it, for fear of being called racists - and just plain fear, period.

So, instead of the ‘underprivileged’ being made to conform to societal and behavioral norms (the whole stated reason of their being bussed in) they ended up being bloodied when kids like me realized we had to fight back. It was ugly and undesirable, but to expect that we should just ‘take it’ and be robbed and beaten for the sake of others’ feelings and politics was simply too much to ask.

On a grand scale, this is what we’re headed for if political correctness does not yield to reason and sanity. I cannot consider my equal a group that I am constantly told I am somehow responsible for their failings. And, if pushed enough, it will be an ugly lesson for liberals that self-preservation and anger are far stronger emotions than guilt. Funny how those that push that guilt on us are always far removed from the reality that renders it untenable.
