Hounded By Free-Speech Advocate Sarah Palin, MSNBC Host Is Sorry for Romney Jokes

After being chastised by Sarah Palin, defender of Phil Roberton's homophobic and racist remarks, MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry is now apologizing for joking that Mitt Romney's grandchild might marry Kanye West and Kim Kardashian's daughter. “As black child born into a large white Mormon family I feel familiarity w/ Romney family pic & never meant to suggest otherwise," Perry said over Twitter. "I apologize to all families built on loving transracial adoptions who feel I degraded their lives or choices," she added.

Perry was the target of Palin's, RNC chair Reine Priebus's, and many others' ire after she and guests on her show made fun of Romney's adopted black grandchild Kieran. She joked about a Kieran Romney-North West marriage, while her guests made remarks about the lack of diversity in the Republican party.

Those jokes did not go over well with free-speech crusader and media critic Sarah Palin. "Holy [maybe sic? Who knows?] unbelievable," she wrote. "What on earth is more beautiful [than a diverse family]? Shame on MSNBC for mocking this," she added....

...defender of Phil Roberton's homophobic and racist remarks,...

I have yet to hear any homophobic or racist remarks made by Phil Robertson.

If Malia and Sasha Obama are off-limits, the grand-child of a former candidate should be even farther removed from public attention.

Mitt Romney is a public figure. The grandbaby is not.

Melissa Harris-Perry is a racist POS who doesn’t belong on any form of media. Boycott anything or anyone that has anything to do with the racist bitch.

The left does not get it

They get it. That's why they're ramping up the absurdity levels on their lies.

Sounds like a couple more pimpette gold stars and pay raise for the pond scum of the waste treatment plant!

Couldn’t help but think about how Palin came to the defense of Romney, but can’t for the life of me recall Romney ever defending Palin when she was attacked by the media...

Amazing how they try to make Sarah a hypocrite by using the "Free-Speech Advocate" in the title.

Looks like they haven't a clue about the difference between saying, "Don't touch that stove; it's hot and it will burn you." (ala Phil Robertson's comments) and "Gee, they have a Black baby and are trying to leverage it by looking tolerant when everyone knows that Black babies are unlovable and any Cracker who claims to care for one is obviously full of $h**. How disgusting that a Honky would adopt a Black baby."

Ugly is as ugly does...
