There is nothing racial about the term "tar baby." Nothing. Liberals try to make it racial when a Republican (Mitt Romney and Michelle Bachmann for examples) uses it, but we don't need to be stupid just because liberals are stupid. It means a problem that gets worse when you struggle against it, simple as that.
Wo, are we movin' too slow?
Have you seen us,
Uncle Remus . . .
We look pretty sharp in these clothes (yes, we do)
Unless we get sprayed with a hose
It ain't bad in the day
If they squirt it your way
'Cept in the winter, when it's froze
An' it's hard if it hits
On yer nose
On yer nose
Just keep yer nose
To the grindstone, they say
Will that redeem us,
Uncle Remus . . .
I can't wait till my Fro is full-grown
I'll just throw 'way my Doo-Rag at home
I'll take a drive to BEVERLY HILLS
Just before dawn
An' knock the little jockeys
Off the rich people's lawn
An' before they get up
I'll be gone, I'll be gone
Before they get up
I'll be knocking the jockeys off the lawn
Down in the dew
The only story here is that the Collaborationist Media isn't gonna be all over her pink arse for it, as we know dam well any mere conservative would be crucified and hounded from the public view.
Yes, we know what the concern is. And it is a bit tricky. Calling a THING "a tar baby" as she did is fine -- it describes a sticky situation which allows no easy escape. Calling a =person= a tar baby, particularly a black person, is unacceptable. But given the origins of the tar-baby story, and that use of the term could be easily misconstrued -- let's us without the magic (D) after their name just say "quagmire" instead, hmm?

I think that politico reporter must have recently watched "Hollywood Shuffle". She took this scene a little too seriously: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gA28OTErW6E
