She packed her program to mock conservatives - she should be fired ...

Yeah, well that's all they ever do at MesS-NBC

She's crazy. I mean, literally. She's manic. Watching her reminds me of when Robert Blake used to go on talk shows. You're watching someone who's liable to crack up any minute. Makes me uncomfortable.

That said, I'm getting tired of this childish ritual. Sticks and stones. Politicians use it for gain and everyone under 30 cries because they grew up in the Everybody Wins a Trophy! era.

It's satisfying to see lefties grovel. But, it's still childish to get down to their level. Adults should be able to take a joke. Even a nasty one.

I believe they have sold their intellectual soul down the river for this man. For the sake of protecting his blackness (that half, anyway) and the significance of his attaining the office.

They’d still be intellectually vapid, illogical and unreasoned in their zeal for any Democrat President, even Hillary, but their vehemence and unapologetic racism for him has set betterment of race relations in this country near a hundred years in my opinion.

Her point was that like black conservatives, blacks who are raised by whites are not REAL blacks.

So, by her logic, Barack Obonbon's not a real black either, since he was raised by whites.

I kind of like the idea of having MSLSD and its looney inmates around. That gives me someone to point to and say "Deep down this is what proglodytes really are; what they really want -- this is the essence of American liberalism."

Hey at least she didn’t want to defecate in someones mouth so all is good. /sarc

Perhaps MSNBC should start each day issuing a blanket apology for all the stupid things their people will say that day.

[grundle]

Why did she apologize on Twitter instead of on MSBNC?

I agree.

I tend to watch this type of trivial stuff as a spectator and I don't take it seriously.

Given that MSNBC is the ‘grievance’ and ‘Im offended’ channel it was very entertaining to see CNN reporting on this yesterday.

….while I meant no offense

…..As black child born into large white Mormon family I feel familiarity w/ Romney family pic & never meant to suggest otherwise.

NO! You lie! As I understand it, you had a panel of comedians. You showed them photos from 2013 and asked for captions. YOU CHOSE THE ROMNEY FAMILY PHOTO to be one of those pictures! (If I understand the scenario correctly) there's only one possible reason you included that photo - to make fun of the Romneys and the baby!

[REPANDPROUDOFIT]

Melissa’s biggest sin is choosing the photo as part of her “comedy act” in the first place! Unforgivable!
