Host of eponymous “Melissa Harris-Perry Show” is under fire for making the race of Romney’s adopted grandson a punchline.
MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry concluded the “What’s So Funny About 2013?” segment of her Sunday show with a chorus of laughter at the black grandson pictured in former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney’s family Christmas photo. The chuckles were directed at baby Kieran – who was adopted by Romney’s son Ben and his wife Andelynne in September.

“One of these things is not like the others, one of these things just isn’t the same,” panelist Pia Glenn offered as a caption for the photo, which the Romneys tweeted on Christmas Eve. (Lyrics of the original Sesame Street song are, “One of these things just doesn’t belong.”)
“And that little baby, front and center, would be the one,” Glenn said.

Do you have any basis for this comment?
I think the real problem for MSNBC libs is not that the child was adopted by a white family but that the child was born at all. Unwanted babies are not to be born and adopted, they’re to be killed.
Her jihad against Mormons is basis enough.
Correctamundo!
Talk about soul’s sold to the dark side, MSNBC reigns as Al Jezerra Lite, and this Harris slasher Perry person is Olberman in a bra.
Matthews is a loon now, unable to function anywhere near reality.
Cousin Ed is so obtuse he was never qualified to even ride on the turnip truck.
COMCAST— who ARE these guys anyway? Ick.
Republican family kids don’t get the same right to privacy that the elite, commie ‘RATS’ kids get. If the toads in Obama’s state controlled “media” tried this with a ‘RAT politician’s kid, the whole world would be “outraged”. Commie DemocRATS make me want to puke.
This may fit?
GRANDIOSE SELF-WORTH — a grossly inflated view of one’s abilities and self-worth, self-assured, opinionated, cocky, a braggart. Psychopaths are arrogant people who believe they are superior human beings.
MSNBC is desperate for ratings and they are amping up the only play they have in there framework.
They have no ideas outside their current course
Anyone a GE shareholder? Use their products? Ring the phones in Fairfield, CT. INVESTOR RELATIONS, CORPORATE COMMUNICATIONS..ETHICS(yes, Ethics Compliane). I’m sure they have one. Immelt’s been pretty quiet for awhile now.
To be fair, they weren’t making fun of the baby, but of the Romney political family.
Not for nothing but.....very rarely, if ever, do you hear of a black family adopting a white child?
“Free speech is a wonderful thing”
Indeed. We should rejoice that MSLSD allows the progressive movement’s media elite to publicly proclaim what they really think for all to see and hear.
Of course, these people are vulgar and despicable. Of course, they are profane. They are the media elite of Team Obama. It’s a great window into the heart and soul of progressive movement.
“and that’s all that happened in this case...
one of liberal Willard’s loser boys adopted a child..”
Weird comment.
Everybody is a racist but her.
Pray America is Waking
They are racist because they support the Clown blindly, too.
Racism goes both ways-—supporting someone because of race and hating someone because of race.
Democrats do both. With extreme prejudice.
MSNBC harbors the biggest bunch of race-baiting haters on the tube.
They’d die on the spot if they got a look at my family.
We are the regular United Nations and have been since 1965.
Remember Harry Reid:
“Obama is a light skinned black man who doesn’t speak with a Negro dialect” - normally the purveyor of this kind of Hitlerian ranking of skin color would be drawn and quartered in the public square, while simultaneously being yelled at by the pious liberal media who, on cue, would be weeping blood. Yet there was complete silence on this egregious racist assault on the dignity of a human being. They love to lecture, except if it is one of their own who is the racist and then they are all so forgiving.
Clinton said “this guy would be getting us coffee” which was never investigated either.
Do they ever tire of the hypocrisy?
