I’m not a fan of Mitt

But, I find it hard to blame him for the whole ‘tar-baby’ thing. I know that tar-baby can be used as a derogatory racial comment, but I was unaware that it had evolved to the point that any usage of it was derogatory.

The original meaning of the phrase was exactly as Mitt used it: To represent a problem that tends to attach itself to people. Mitt didn’t use it in any manner that was intended to be racial and, when he was informed people took offense, he apologized.

Let’s go back to more important issues with him – like his rampant homophobia.
