John Kerry uses the term "tar baby" to attack John McCain

Uh oh! Doesn't he know that "tar baby" is considered a racist term? So, do you think there will be an uproar? Will he have to apologize for using it the way Romney did? *snicker* Yeah,right.

Years ago SNL had a party sketch where everything that was said was misinterperted by someone else as offensive. The result was an akward but very funny party. My favorite line was when one person asked for more ice and another guest bent because his parents were killed by a glacier.

That sketch comes to mind every time something like this comes up. I'm all for reclaiming such terms.

Grr argh, in the last sentence of the first paragraph "and another guest bent" should read "and another guest gets bent"

"I never said what I BELIEVED about whether he should or shouldn't apologize,..."

In other words, you are noise without substance.

Next please.

Ah yes, another LEFTY LIB smacked down to the point of no rebuttal. Nothing new here folks, move along and maybe at one point, then a LEFTY LIB has enough integrity to admit to the HYPOCRISY of their own, well be careful, it might be a cold day you know where. In the mean time, when they have no rebuttal, this is what their shame looks like. Next Please!

Not to worry MH, their are only a couple of TYPO/SPELLING/GRAMMAR NAZIS here. The rest of us aren't so easily offended and usually can decipher the intent in such cases.
