MSNBC Host Makes Fun of Mitt Romney’s Black Grandson
The Wrap ^ | December 20, 2013 | LA Ross

Posted on 12/31/2013 1:47:29 AM PST by lbryce

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.

MSNBC is a demented, shrill parody of a news show, hypocritical, scurrilous, beneath contempt befitting their liberal, left wing credentials, a motley crew of dysfunctional, emotionally stunted characters acting with the sense of decorum not unlike inmates having taken over the asylum news set.

Do they make fun of Sandra Bullock’s adopted child? Her little boy is black.

Free speech is a wonderful thing and the despicable hosts at MSLSD shouldn't be fired for exercising it.

No, that would be wrong because Sandra felt that she had to adopt a little black baby, and it's all the rage in Hollywood now that crazy Angelina has opened up an orphanage. [Some people claim she did it because she wanted to atone for her exe's racial attitudes (Jesse), others think did it because of prior attitudes she wasn't proud of. I only remember a movie of hers in 2009 called "The Blind Side." It was in 2010 she adopted the child. I'd like to think she took the role a little more seriously than a paycheck.]

Liberal adopts child of another race and it is compassion.

Conservative adopts child of another race and it is laughable.

The liberal mind on display, folks!

All of THOSE msnbc things are not like the others, but they MIGHT be cnn compatible.

Liberals apparently have a lot to lose if people like Mitt Romney turn out to not be racist.

Racist humor is perfectly okay in America - provided it’s Whites who are mocked.

Yet more evidence that, despite the left’s vociferous protestations, the house of bigotry and racism is the liberal strain of American politics.

Oh give them time. They are scum and will resort to anything that is not “gay” or “extremely liberal”.

I never watch that garbage but I decided to flick over and see what the fuss was about and boy did I get a shock .
It’s filled with hate disguised as humor , it’s filled with presenters who seem to have a mentality of a 12 year old and how anyone could even watch a channel like MSNBC filled with that much hate and bigotry is beyond me
