I heard some hillbilly on Fox News refer to former President Clinton as a"CRACKER!"?

[january jane]

The host did not have a reaction to this. Now I am not a Bill Clinton fan but I thought Fox News had a little more class than that. Why do they bleep out other racial slurs but it is okay to bash anyone White. I mean any and ALL stations, not just Fox News.

A U.S. President? No respect.

Any opinions?
RAE... you must be too young to remember FORMER president Clinton. I am not speaking about Hillary, btw, she is not a president anyway.
SHILOH... I said he was a hillbilly, never said anything about his race. And your presumption is wrong b/c he was White.
People I am speaking of the former President BILL Clinton!

Just more thoughtful, intelligent discussion as anyone can come to expect from Faux News. When my TV's busted, I go to the local redneck tavern at 2am and the level of political discourse is usually comparable. Though I admit, no one there would get away with calling anyone else a cracker....

being called a "cracker" is just as offensive to me, as being called the "n" word to some one else...

Clinton had a lot of lets say "relations" to make a lot of the citizens of the USA lose respect for him..

i never thought some one would call him a cracker... just think of all the other stereotypes he could have been labeled as...

[PoeticMistress]

he IS a FORMER U.S. President lets not forget his tainted presidency... does the word Cigar do ANYthing for ya? sorry to say it... but RESPECT MUST BE EARNED! I actually like Fox for their honesty...and their lack of sensorship! It's all a matter of truth and opinion! Some of the more liberal based media will spin the public opinion to show their side only... at least the Fox TV allows EVERYONE to have their own opinion and to share it without the promise of sensorship! Afterall...is that NOT what this country was founded on? FREEDOM!?!?!?! =o) I go in peace.... thank you for your question.

hmm , talking about freedom...

[snookums]

I agree with you. Labeling should not be permitted against anyone. I guess it must be taken as a sign of that individuals low class.

[seamstress 4 the band]

well actually he is a cracker jacker....................
& plus Fox News is a republican news station.

[Seely Booth]

They called him that because he is the most black president that we've had. He connected with the black community more than anybody else has.

Maybe they said "Crack-a" which is ok by us
