What does "empty barrel" mean and where does it come from?

This is why the term racist has become an empty barrel - basically a 'racist' is someone who disagrees with a Black person.

Many credit Plato for bringing "empty barrel" into the vernacular: "An empty vessel makes the loudest sound, so they that have the least wit are the greatest babblers."

It does appear Kelly was suggesting the Platonic usage—that Wilson is a loudmouth ...

Kelly used the term to characterize Representative Frederica Wilson, who has been feuding with President Donald Trump over his phone call to a military widow this week, forcing Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders to attempt an explanation at her daily briefing on Friday, offering only more ambiguity: "As we say in the South: all hat, no cattle."
Wilson does have a nice collection of hats.

Why did Kelly fabricate a story about the congresswoman? I thought Kelly was a stand up guy serving his country, but he's debased himself like every other servant of Trump. It's a shame.

we should put a limit on racist terms to those that are blatantly racists. Its time to stop trying to create hidden meanings to play the race card. but then what do I know i'm one of the 99 percent that are racist. To me this is the best part of the trump presidency . the attacks and challenge of the sensistivity BS. you can't have a conversation any more without worrying that what you say might be twisted into an accusation of insensitivity. Really?
