1. Where is the call for his resignation?
These clowns keep getting by with shit like this with a simple apology? Meanwhile a Democrat is forced to resign from office for personal actions that affect him and his wife.
Only reply so far. Don't know how long it will get, but has potential.

I am going to go all DUmmy here and ask if this shows up in a legitimate news source.

I wouldn't call CNN legit, but they're better than Raw Story.

“Even if some people say, well the Republicans should have done this or they should have done that, they will hold the President responsible,†said Lamborn said Friday during an interview on a Denver radio station. “Now I don’t want to even have to be associated with him. It’s like touching a tar baby and you get, you get it, you know… you are stuck and you are part of the problem now and you can’t get away.â€
I get what he is trying to say and do not think he meant to use "tar baby" with its racial meaning. He would have been better off to say:
"It’s like touching a pile of shit and you get, you get it, you know… you stink and you are part of the problem now and you can’t get the smell completely away.â€

Sounds like he meant to say "Tar paper."

No, tar paper isn't particularly sticky anyway. I think he meant what he said, and it is apt...used in the sense of the actual Song of the South B'rer Rabbit story, not the perjorative use of the term against Black people. It's not like the analogy has never been used in Washington before, either, it's historically been a rather commonly applied to ugly messes that just pull the participants in deeper. Given the hypersensitivity to race the Dems keep foisting on the public, though, it's better to stick with talking about quicksand or the LaBrea Tar Pits if you want to draw the analogy as long as the Annointed One is President.

IOW, if someone NEEDS to be offended, they'll find something to be offended over, whether it means anything or not.

I don't get how they come up with callin' the pres a Tar baby. Looks to me like he's talkin' about the mess our congress critters and the Bummer refuse to clean up!
Stooooopid ****in' DUmmies!

From Merriam-Webster Online:
tar baby noun
Definition of TAR BABY
: something from which it is nearly impossible to extricate oneself
Origin of TAR BABY
from the tar baby that trapped Brer Rabbit in an Uncle Remus story by Joel Chandler Harris
First Known Use: circa 1910
merriam-webster online (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/tar%20baby)
This is similar to all the hoopla over the word "niggardly" about 10 years back. liberals being offended over a word they don't even know the origins or meaning of.

From post 7. It should be self explanatory.

7. Don't you think it's a little disrespectful
to call him "O" instead of the President or Mr. President or President Obama?
This is rich.

IIRC, some black city council DUde got all upset when YT called the proposed budget a 'Black Hole.'
The one thing that all the hyperbole of the left has done is anesthetize normal and civilized people to their derogatory name calling.
Call me a racist. I do not care.
Call me a terrorist. I do not care.
I do not care.
I do not care.

That would be Los Angeles, another memorable shithole of liberal governance.

Sorry, wrong group of idiots. The one I was thinking of wanted to change all the computers in Los Angeles County so they didn't read master/slave.
'Master' and 'slave' computer labels unacceptable, officials say (http://www.cnn.com/2003/TECH/ptech/11/26/master.term.reut/)

Regardless of it's true meaning, "tar baby" was used as a derogatory term for black children, years and years ago.
It is not a common phrase in today's conversation, nor has it been in several decades. I'm old enough to remember hearing a black child referred to as a "tar baby", but I don't think I've heard that term in the last 40 years of being an adult.
It was a very poor choice of words, particularly with the preceding sentence being that the Congress Critter said he didn't want to be associated with Obama.
His mouth moved faster than his brain...and that's all there is to it. What he did succeed in doing was give the Dems one more reason for frothing at the mouth and the opportunity to scream "racist". As if they don't find reason enough.
He's an idiot. Is that enough to kick him out of Congress? Who knows. If being an idiot was enough of a reason to kick a Congress Critter out, we could save time and just go ahead and kick them all out.
Why are these guys - regardless of political party, occupation (thinking Arnold and Tiger, here) - who are just idiots, so damn successful? Or at least they are until their idiocy spins out of control.
