This congressman is right on the money! Not only are the 99% of Americans ruled by the 1% financially, apparently they are brainwashed too. Wake up people!
There is NO context in which referring to an African-American as a “tar-baby” is not insulting and racially-charged. On the off-chance that the Congressman, in his heart of hearts, doesn’t realize this then he is a clueless wonder who should spend more time reading up on American history.
That comment was racist and disrepectable. President Obama treats everyone with respect and has done an outstanding job as president. He inherited numerous problems during his presidency and is attempting to remedy them. Congress needs to work together and support our Commander-in-Chief. I have his back and he has the support of the people.
Not only shouldnt this man be a us congressman but he shouldnt be permitted to be in any public service position. We now have a racist, a dead-beat dad, one who knows nothing about our history or the Constitution, liars, and several fact-challenged people in office……WHAT’S NEXT!
Wow, talk about being taken out of context. Only a blithering idiot would think he called Obama a tar baby, he said the entire debate was like touching a tar baby. In other words, for you idiots out there, this is an issue that will get messy, sticky, and never wash off. Nothing to see here, move on. Why not go ask you regressive liberal freakish leaders to explain how spending more will reduce the deficit…
John Lennon and I knew that the use of ‘tar baby’ was rascist in Liverpool in the 1960s, so how can you and this Congressman who has brought shame on the USA be so ingnorant 50 years later?
Soooooooooooooooo not okay. I really need to work on an amends for placing elected officials on a pedestal of having basic manners and education and wisdom to use them. I suppose though, it is a good thing that he said it out loud. Now everyone knows.
Very touching to hear someone refer to The President of These. UnUnited States is sickening. The highest position on land snd yet these people who claim to Love this Country,cannot seperate content of character, from color of skin. These (Tyrants Eviling America)Tea Party Politicians have evolved into a more sophisticated Hate Group. They have educated themselves, took off the sheets,put on suits and became Policy changers. That why these people are dangerous. Mind you ,despite the advancement of this Country. Hatred is a Cancer that basically can only be treated not cured. Our work is ahead of us in order to become (The United States of America).
excellent comment
I was outraged to hear the comments by this man who has dishonored his elected role. Most important the time has come for Doug to come out of the closet and claim his role as a racist and acknowledge that the Tea Party is the undercover extension of the KKK. Doug’s comments have disrobed the clock of concerned Americans and you guys can now be honest that they are the new KKK in the closet. Most importantly those Blacks who are members of this racist group can no longer leave their head in the sand and make believe that this group can represent them. Those in Denver who are not racist must denounce this man and actively work to remove this type of individual as a representative before there are lynching in your neighborhood. Doug stop hiding and wear your hood to work.
the tea party is now the most mis-understood outfit. The original “membership” was a fundamentals of Constitutional Law group, urging the reduction of government interference in daily life, an advocacy group who seemed to celebrate the individual’s native intelligence and curiosity and common sense.
The tea party is NOT “misunderstood”. They exist solely to tell lies about PRESIDENT Obama, simply because of his skin color.
You are an idiot and don’t deserve to hold a public office. I will make sure that all know of this comment to ensure a movement to your resignation. You do not have like President Obama, or his policy, but there should be a level of respect for the Office of the President. To your resignation!!!!!!
He isn’t worried, and will not appologize – his rich, cigar smoking, financial supporters will still provide the money needed to get him re-elected.
Doug, you should be ashamed of yourself. President Obama and millions of other African Americans has made a huge contribution to this great nation of “ours”! For you or any other person to refer to African Americans in the way you did hurts. It’s apparently clear you simply don’t care about that though. Contrary to what you may think and feel…it’s because of people like you is why this country is going in the direction it’s headed. Do us all a great service and resign.
The irony is delicious–Lamborn uses antiquated, racist term and now he’s the one stuck in the tar baby. He should apologize (he might) or resign (he won’t) and I’m afraid that just like the Uncle Remus story, he’ll talk himself out of the ‘sticky situation’ and run back to the woods, laughing all the way.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY “YOU PEOPLE”?????? DOUGIE BABY NEEDS TO THINK BEFORE HE TALKS!!!!! REPUBLICANS CONTINUALLY THINK THE AVERAGE AMERICAN IS STUPID AND CAN’T SEE THROUGH THEIR B/S!!!! WHICH IS WHY THE ECONOMY IS IN SHAMBLES TODAY, BECAUSE OF 8 YEARS OF THEIR B/S….AND NOW OBAMA HAS TO CLEAN UP THEIR MESS…..Whether he meant to say it or not…..did he REALLY think you can use that term and NOT suffer some kind of backlash…..RACIST PIG!!!! HE KNEW AND YOU KNOW exactly what he meant!!!!!!! R E S I G N A T I O N
You are right! I think I liked it better when racism was covert!
Remember, lots of the books kids read in school all over this country have content chosen by the most stupid racist fools Texas can provide. Were those books still being approved way back then by the lowest common denominators, the same dumbest drunk rednecks in the state of Texas?
Cool. Stereotyping Texans is a lot more justifiable than slinging around racial slurs. Where the heck are you from, buddy? Not only does Dallas have one of the largest performing arts districts in the nation, but also a huge LGBT community and then there’s NASA in Houston. But I guess it takes the dumbest, drunkest rednecks to make it to the moon. FYI, check yer grammar, son.
this all coming from the same people who likened President Bush to Hitler … you sling the mud, but when it comes back to you, you don’t like it, do you? i’m sick of people always dropping the race card. so what Odummy is black? i really don’t care what the color of his skin is. what he’s doing to this country is criminal. and he’s too stupid & narcissistic to even realize.
and if you listen to the audio, you will hear he doesn’t call obama a tar baby. he likens the situation to touching a tar baby. big difference, folks. but then again, y’all are too ig-nant to realize the diffrunce.
YOU ARE A FOOL AND DON’T KNOW ANY BETTER. GOD HELP YOU!
You don’t get that old, in that job, in this country, and say something like that, and not know what you said, Lou.
There is a difference between calling someone a nigger and touching a nigger, but it doesn’t matter in that case does it?
And I think you’re trying to get away with something when you say “ig-nant” but I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt.
Racism is alive and well here in the UNITED States of America. What must the rest of the world think of us! I am so disgusted with the fringes who really just can’t get over the fact that the citizens of the USA are now a very diversified group. We are going to have to learn to respect each other regardless of our religion,culture, color of our skin, education level, financial level etc. or we are going to step back and become less than the most revered in the world. Aren’t we all ashamed with all of this dis-respect. If you hate President Obama so much, let your feelings be known in NOV. 2012. Don’t embarass yourself in front of you constituents and most importantly, your FAMILY. Shame on you.
He still could have found a better choice of words to use. He is probably too ignorant to admit that and so are you.
If you don’t see or refuse to see that he was referring to the President, you are the one who is “ig-nant”!!!! He got as close to it as he could without coming out and saying it. But EVERYONE knows what he meant, even if we won’t all admit it!
To LOU…..
F.U….. HOW IG-NANT IS THAT>>
Don’t hate on the President becuase he has done more in 2 year than that Dummy Bush did in 8.
you sound like a typical republican with their head in the sand and their hand in my wallet
You cannot even use the excuse of being naive, as you are totally ignorant and foolish enought to believe any thinking person would buy your line bull****. This jerk is a racist, ignoramous clueless to meaning of civility.
He should resign as we have to many whack jobs in office already.
For the clueless George Bush got us into the mess we are in and if you think any person on earth could get us out of he mess Bush created in a few years then I suggest you buckle down and start reading factual pieces and not sitting around your boob tube watching FOX.
Did your parents’ not teach you “If your friend jumps off of a bridge are you going to follow?”
Why is it when someone says or does something wrong people such as yourself come back with ‘He said, She said.” How about just admitting the guy was out of line and a real jerk.
I am so sick of these juvenile statements from adults. We expect children when caught doing somethign wrong saying, well Jimmy did it too, as though that excuses ignorance and very reason you are in trouble. Doesn’t matter who the person is, wrong is wrong. So why don’t we all grow up and stop accepting excuses for people like Doug. He is an ignorant ass and should be sensured at the very least.
Thank you. Thank you for defending a President that will not and can not defend himself against racist attacks. For the President to defend himself and the attacks that Michelle endures on a daily basis, is to make it “bigger” than it should be and shine the light on the ignorance longer than it deserves.
Thank you all for your defense and honesty and respect for our President. I don’t always agree with him, but I am always there for him.
Great a person in power who is as ignorant as he speaks—at least we know where the ignorance comes from–we do vote you know–or does he want to repeal those rights for certain groups of people also?
Nothing… NOTHING surprises me coming from the TEA-republican religious conservatives today. To use this kind of language in our country, in our society… makes us the King of Fools the world over! God forgive Mr. Lame Brain!!!
Yes, we all know where the Tar Baby term came from — I love Splash Mountain & Br ‘er Rabbit & Uncle Remus, but if we are honest, we know that lots of Disney cartoons & stories contained subtle racism. It was an extremely poor choice for an analogy of the situation the Congressman feels he was in. I was kind of amazed that the radio host didn’t interrupt to tell him it was a bad choice. I tried calling his DC office to offer my opinion, but his mail box is full & it’s not even 7 am yet! Why would he use the term “tar baby” instead of “stuck like glue” or another more logical term? Being stuck to a tar baby is about the LAST thing that would come to my mind!!! I believe racism is seeping through.
Wikipedia says”The animal stories were conveyed in a manner in which they were not deemed as ostensibly racist by many among the audiences of the time; by the mid-20th century, however, the dialect and the “old Uncle” stereotype of the narrator, was considered demeaning by many blacks, on account of what they considered to be racist and patronizing attitudes toward blacks. However, Harris’ work was an extraordinarily accurate account of the stories he heard from the slaves when he worked in a plantation as a young man. He listened to, and memorized, the African American animal stories told by Uncle George Terrell, Old Harbert, and Aunt Crissy at the plantation and wrote them down some years later: He later acknowledged his debt to them in his later fictionalized autobiography, ‘On the Plantation’ (1892). Many of these stories that he recorded have direct equivalents in the African oral tradition, and we[who?] owe it to Harris that he remembered them and wrote them down, thereby preserving them in their African-American form.”
Harris was trying to stay away from the already volatile attitudes but, these stories have been perceived for a long time as derogatory toward Africans and blacks. So, yes, he should not have alluded to the tar baby in his speech. And, most of the present Presidents do not write their own speech material, get over yourself if you think they do.
Real facts about the story we all grew up with thinking it was innocent. HMMMM maybe that is why Disney tried to pull their movie version of the Song of the South of shelves.
http://www.mythfolklore.net/3043mythfolklore/reading/remus/background.htm
Joel Chandler Harris, a journalist, a Southerner, a white man, published his first Brer Rabbit story in the Atlanta Constitution newspaper in 1879. Admittedly, the way in which Joel Chandler Harris collected and published the stories is bound up with the racism that marked every aspect of life in the society in which he lived. There is a deep contradiction between Harris and the stories that he tells: Brer Rabbit is a vitally important and authentic creation of the African-American experience during slavery, while Uncle Remus is a fictional character spawned by the racist politics of the post-war white South. This Uncle Remus character is used by Harris as a kind of “black-face” in print, something like a literary minstrel show. Harris is white, but he writes as a black man, much like the white singers and comedians who appeared as “black” on the stage.
This is clearly a reference to Br’er rabbit. This was one of my favorite stories as a child and I had never even heard of the terms derogatory alternate connotation. Now if he had said that Obama looked like a Tar Baby or even called him a Tar Baby then maybe there could be something to this but since he specifically said it was like touching a tar baby that proves that he was referencing the story of Br’er rabbit touching the tar baby and becoming more and more stuck the harder he fought against it. If you’ve never heard of Br’er rabbit then its an honest mistake. But if you know the Br’er rabbit story and your mind immediately jumps to racism then shame on you.
Not everything we grew up watching or reading was “innocent”. I’m over 40 and also loved the stories as a child until I went to college and became a school librarian. It’s amazing all the hidden agendas they let us read. We also were taught that hiding under our desks at school would protect us from an nuclear attack. When all logical people knew that wasn’t true either.

I’m assuming you aren’t from the south.
You are correct! I grew up in Oregon HOWEVER I teach in Texas! Trying to build analytical thinking students everyday so history and stupidity will stop repeating itself generation after generation…….
How come when ANY white president is in office like George Bush none of the congressmen or congresswomen who disagreed with his policies stated in public that they thought his policies were as plain as “white bread” or called him a “cracker” or “honky” or “gringo??? Yes, tar baby is a racists term used for the color of a black person’s skin. http://gyral.blackshell.com/names
It is also quite evident that our nation’s public school system has failed a lot of you if you are using Wikipedia as a vital source of reference for all your information. Most teachers are no longer allowing their students to site from Wikipedia because of a lot of false information placed on it from any ignorant person who wants to post.
That is not how wikipedia works, and using wikipedia is better than just making something up, like the phrase “most teachers”
WHAT A PROUD DAY FOR AMERICA ! WHATEVER HAPPENED TO SHOWING RESPECT FOR OUR ELECTED PRESIDENT ? NO WONDER WE DON’T HAVE THE RESPECT OF THE REST OF THE WORLD…
AMEN!
You people are pathetic. If you would for one minute get past the color of Obama’s skin and STOP BEING THE RACISTS YOU ACCUSE THIS CONGRESSMAN OF, you will see quite clearly that his statement was referring to traditional folklore about the tar baby, AND NOT the color of his skin!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tar_baby
Despite the numerous possible interpretations for this comment, the fact that it is a well known racial comment, should have been enough to have the congressman choose a different phrase. You can close your eyes to racism if you chose, but this wasnt worded this way by accident.
You are not so disengenous as to believe we accept your explanation as the correct one? He knew what he was saying and what he meant. You are people of weak character and faux intelligence. You open your mouths and immediately believe that you can fool all of the people all of the time.
Question, has he every referred to any other contact with anyone else using the term “tar baby”. What’s ingrained in you usually comes out.
Of course the congressman knew what he was saying. How many of you automatically think of a “tar baby” when you get stuck to something? He could have easily said “flypaper”. What a disgrace!
Tar? Yup, that symbolizes Obumbles, slow moving and slow reacting, he doesn’t even write his own teleprompter speeches, an encounter with him leaves you wiping the nasty stickiness off your hands, and wondering who were the mindless, welfare funded ACORN morons who voted twice for him? Where was his plan for deficit reduction? He is a do-nothing president, crippled by Dem policy and his Muslim bankrollers and tax and spend supporters.
If you think that he needs a teleprompter to speak over the phone on a radio interview then you are idiot. He knew exactly what he was saying, he was just trying to find a way of saying without getting in trouble.
You are a proud person. Very satisfied with your post. I will be using your post to prove ignorance and racism is alive and well in America today. Thank you. Give yourself a hand.
YOU’RE SICK
How can anyone say that this “slip of the lip” is not a personal attack toward President Obama? Mr. Lamborn is an idiot. Slaves were covered with tar, set afire, and hung from trees along the James River as a deterrent to runaway slaves. Some people read distorted accounts of history – while others have heard the accounts passed down from those who actually experienced it. Just depends on the lens you use when you draw your conclusion. Please do not minimize what this man is implicating. Mr. Lamborn’s hatred for President Obama is so obvious … and dangerous …. Mr. Lamebrain is pathetic.
This is the mindset the rest of America is enduring:

What are you kidding me???.This guy actually said this without thinking that it might incite some people or at the very least cause people to do a double take. He actually said it like it was alright. This just proves to me that racism in some people is so deeply seeded that it has become a part of who they are…Its 2011…and nothings changed…tsk, tsk tsk!!!
This guy is dispicable. Who the hell does he think he is to call anyone that let alone our President. People like this should lose their job over something like this.Since this last election when these fools got elected they seem to think they can say anything that they want. Did they forget that they are elected officials and that can easily be changed. So terribly dissapointed in all of our politicians these days.
Disgusting! He ALSO wants to repeal “Obamacare”, and end all federal support to both Public Broadcasting and the Environmental Protection Agency. I guess you’d say he wants to “tar and feather” ANYTHING associated with President Obama and what he “believes” are “liberal” policies.
WOW! Okay yes a tar baby is a doll made of what ever in a story book. Yet if you read your history you will see it was used as degradation against blacks back in the day. I understand that he said it as he said it felt like touching a tar baby! Well now that can be interpreted in several ways and yes the first one that comes to many minds is that this man meant is as a slang term use to degrade the president. The next way it could mean is that when debating a man such as our fine president one gets so caught up and there is just no getting out of there for Obama can make it difficult to end the conversation for the more one tries to walk away the more intense our president can get. The last way I see it could mean that our president is so loveable and likable that once you get in there and he give you his side in all honesty it is hard to walk away with any other opinion then this man knows his shit and can run this country! Tar is sticky just like this tread for it is all in the perception of the interpretation of the comment!.
You uneducated people are worse that the idiots on Fox News stirring up crap with false info…and yes, I voted for Obama.
Br’er Rabbit (“Brother Rabbit”) is the main character of the stories, a likable character, prone to tricks and trouble-making who is often opposed by Br’er Fox and Br’er Bear. In one tale, Br’er Fox constructs a lump of tar and puts clothing on it. When Br’er Rabbit comes along he addresses the “tar baby” amiably, but receives no response. Br’er Rabbit becomes offended by what he perceives as Tar Baby’s lack of manners, punches it, and becomes stuck.[2] Using the phrase “tar baby” to refer to the idea of “a problem that gets worse the more one struggles against it” became part of the wider culture of the United States in the mid-20th century.
It’s pretty obvious to me this guy used an unfortunate choice of a figure of speech. He didn’t refer to Obama as a “tar baby” as a tar baby. It’s from the folk tales of Br’er Rabbit.
“The Br’er Rabbit stories can be traced back to trickster figures in Africa, particularly the hare that figures prominently in the storytelling traditions in Western, Central and Southern Africa.”
“The Tar-Baby is a doll made of tar and turpentine used to entrap Br’er Rabbit in the second of the Uncle Remus stories. The more that Br’er Rabbit fights the Tar-Baby, the more entangled he becomes. In modern usage, “tar baby” refers to any “sticky situation” that is only aggravated by additional contact.[1] The tar baby is a trap that should be avoided.”
He was saying that the whole negotiation situation was a trap that should be avoided.
Did you idiots even listen the the broadcast, he didn’t call Obama a tar baby, he said “like touching a tar baby” http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tar_baby look it up!!!!!!!!
“The Tar-Baby is a doll made of tar and turpentine used to entrap Br’er Rabbit in the second of the Uncle Remus stories.”
You people are illiterate……
Get a life.
Yes just like if someone had said that being associated Barney Frank is like holding a faggot we should assume they meant a bundle of sticks or twigs http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faggot_(unit)RIGHT, that’s TOTALLY what he meant…
Oh, we know what it means. We are not illiterate. We’re well aware of how white Americans have looked down on black Americans and used mythology and iconography to further their causes.
I have a feeling you also know, Grant Roberts…
i agree he knows. They want to think that we are iliterate.
Wikipedia has been taken over by the right wing. They’ve hired people to re-write and in some instances “white” wash history. This really began in earnest following the re-telling of “history” by Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann.
Check everything you get from wikipedia from now on.
YOU PEOPLE HAVE FINALLY DEFINED THE SIZE OF RACISM
I’m not one of his constituents. If I was, I’d lead a Recall Mkvement. I would not want this person representing me and my neighbors. How embarrassing is that?
Mr. Lamborn’s district is Colorado Springs and the zip code is 80920.
One could use that zip code to get through the phone lines and to his e-mail.
By the way, Lamborn is also one of those brainiacs who called for the death photos of Osama bin Laden to be released to the public – and this was after Lamborn viewed the gruesome images.
It’s obvious that when common sense and decency were being handed out, Lamborn ditched the line and got an extra helping of moron instead.
I called his office but his in box was full. Wonder why??
OMG. You people are pathetic. He wasn’t talking about Obama in negative terms.
Wow, America is the “Great Prostitute” and we are riding the “World Economic System”.
What are you people going to do when it all collapses? Cry and play ignorant of truth?
“WHY” would such a term be in the forefront of this guys mind? It’s a “Freudian slip”, pure and simple! It’ll be interesting to see who makes excuses for this guy.
Does that even make sense to you? How does referring to the President as a “tar baby” not equate to a negative? And “great prostitute”?? Huh? Ck hat – aluminum foil has holes in it.
Oh, he meant “tar baby” in the positive pejorative?
Really? You expect us to be this stupid?
What do you care about America collapsing? lol. I mean really??? You and your people almost brought this country to the brink of collapse, so all of a sudden, we are to believe you care about this country?
Tell your story walking, brother.
Oh, so you care about America, again? You and your people almost crippled America and made Americans vulnerable to other countries, over the Debt Ceiling. However, that is the past and now you care again?
Fool yourself. Fool your friends. I am awake to you and your weak-mined kind.
I’ve endured alot in my life and beat the odds, but I will not accept faux care about this country. This country is to be protected at all costs. Hypocrite!
Wow! What a racist! Is this Doug Lambrain running for office in the KKK?? This IS the 21st century. Time to mature as a human being. Again, WOW!
This is unacceptable behavior. There needs to be a full investigation from the ethics committee and he should be kicked out! You can disagree and not make it personal or racist. Plus, the Republicans got more from the recent vote on the Debt Ceiling and amendments benefit the wealthy so they should be happy.
I want to tar you undercover klans man. How dare you refer President Obama as a tar baby. Racist fool.
Interesting that, at least when I pulled up the article, it was accompanied by an ad for Michele Bachmann’s presidential campaign. Just goes to show you how bad these internet adbots are at determining proper criteria for ad placement.
They understand what pulls attention. They are opportunistic racists working hand and glove and they are effective. They now understand that they are exempt from reprimand, but if they happen to be called on it then they are free to play ignorant, like most of the posters here defending the man.
This is crazy. How dare you refer to your president by such a ugly name. Whether you like him or not as a government official, you better darn well respect him….
I attempted to tell Rep. Lamborn what a racist he is for calling the president a “tar baby.” Conveniently, only residents of his state can leave a message. You are a coward, sir.
Hope they tar and feather Congressman Doug Lamborn (R-CO) and run him out of Congress on a recall.
