" HANNITY: Karl, that's another point. And the church gave a lifetime achievement award to Farrakhan here too. I spent some time this weekend going over the book "Dreams of My Father." On page 229, these are Barack Obama's words, "there were no cigar chomping crackers like Bull Connor out there." Those are his words. The church has deleted the black value system from the website. But going back to the same book, page 284, he called the black value system "a sensible heart-felt list." "

Are you really on here defending the integrity of KKK members on here?? I would call him worse than that. You have to get better than that to get my attention. Am I supposed to feel sorry that an outspoken member of the KKK got called a name??? Especially when he is guilty of being a "cracker." The word cracker, as an ethnic term used by african american and decendents of slaves, refers to the slave labor drivers that used whips (whip cracker) to enforce labor. Throughout literature in the last 150 years it is used as a term for anyone that still held onto the hate of african american and slave descendants. Now if he referred to all whites as "crackers" that would be racist. But referring to a member of the KKK as this is historically and literally correct. That is your free american literature lesson of the day.
