If the white hood fits...

...wear it. Truth hurts, eh Brit? Now I realize Juan Williams didn't say what white cracker Brit Hume said he did, but I will: at its base, the GOP is a bunch of ofay bigots. In addition, as a wise man once said, Karl Rove's true genius was in realizing that half of the population has below average intelligence.

Media Matters - Hume accused Williams of describing Republican base as "Southern cracker[s]"

During the May 21 broadcast of Fox Broadcasting Co.'s Fox News Sunday, Fox News Washington managing editor Brit Hume baselessly accused Juan Williams, a senior correspondent for National Public Radio and a contributing political analyst at Fox News, of calling the Republican base "Southern cracker[s]." Williams stated that a number of current immigration reform proposals -- deploying National Guard troops to the U.S.-Mexico border, constructing a fence along much of the border, and making English the exclusive official language of the United States -- are "all to appease ... a white, Southern, somewhat Western, rural and suburban base in the Republican Party, on the right wing of the party, that seems to me fearful of this new wave of people coming into the country." Moments later, Hume retorted: "I'd like to introduce you some day, Juan, to [Rep.] Peter King of New York, who is one of the leading Republican hawks on the immigration issue. I don't think he quite meets your test of being a Southern cracker."
