Apparently someone at Fox News said Rick Sanchez is a "sucker." What does that mean? In one sense it's being allowed that "the joke is on you Rick Sanchez and CNN," as per Fox's usual tone of petulance, as if Fox got the best of the kerfuffle. But there's racist code in that word; Hispanics are forever being portrayed and treated as the leeches of AmericanProsperity. The people they used to call "wetbacks" are still thought of as the remoras attached to the otherwise sleek hide of good old USofA.
FOX News/The GOP is certainly not above using coded racist terms to fire up the base, but 'sucker'? Gimme a break. When you make these kinds of careless, over-reaching comments, it makes it tougher to confront actual conservative racism.

Damn, qualm! I certainly don't like to defend fox...but you're reaching up your ass for that one. Try again.
Many Bothan spies died bringing us this footage...
I do not get this reference. I do figure I'd laugh if I did though so... upvote!
Not only is he a sucker, but he's a gift that keeps on giving?

In other words, "thanks for the free publicity, Sanchez"
