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.

Many Bothan spies died bringing us this footage...

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.

My comment downvoters are being a bit naive. "Sucker" is very plausibly code for the Townhall demographic. You know, the new brownshirts. Pass the popcorn.

Not only is he a sucker, but he's a gift that keeps on giving?

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

Watching CNN and Fox quibble over who's distorting the truth and who's delivering the news is like listening to Coke and Pepsi argue over which of there sugary soda beverages is good for you.
