MSNBC host mocks Romney's adopted black grandchild

[DigitalDrifter]

Did anyone read what one of the panelists specifically said ?

“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.

"One of these things". Wow, nice.

 

[DigitalDrifter]

She has now apologized.

But silence from PMSNBC. Perhaps they approved of her initial comments and now are disapproving. Or maybe they just learned something from wot happened to A&E.

Can liberals learn?

Or maybe she shouldn't apologize for something someone else said.

It was a panelist who made the crack about the Romney family.

Of course, that poor black kid is going to grow up in a family of cultists who think dark skin is a curse from God... being made fun of on a TV show is probably the least of her problems...

You know, you're such a dick.

 

[mack20]

Sorry, all I can see in that picture is how that kid on the far left is throwing some serious shade at the photographer with that side-eye.

 

[Vox]

What happened to A&E?

We are not interested in the opinion of pin heads that think saying Jesus and Santa are white is somehow racist.

Jesus isnt white and well santa who cares.

yes, He Is. And St. Nicholas is also white. Deal with it.

Just stating the obvious.

Utah has the highest rate of teen suicide in the country... and the highest level of anti-depressent prescriptions...

That kid would be better off being raised by feral wolves than Mormons.

 

[HenryBHough]

Wow, that the left can do this certainly provides cover for anyone who wants to do a little mockery of The New Messiah's happy little offspring!

Equality, y'know......

 

[LeadRoundNose]

I'm sure the libs would have rather that child have been aborted (preferably at taxpayer's expense) than be adopted by the Romney's.

The fact that you can pull shit out of your ass does not mean you can call it a statistic.

It really sums up the diversity of the Republican Party -- can't really argue with that.

I watched that show. It was a panel full of comedians going over all the stories of the past year. They poked fun at everything. But their humor was hardly malicious. They didn't call the child a "tar baby" or the types of things you would expect the Republicans to say.

And you have to admit, one child definitely "stands out". What's wrong with bringing attention to that?

Look at Tank. Now there is an honest Republican: Homosexuality, welfare, unemployment, dropouts, STD.s. obesity, fatherless children, abortion, rape, murder are not Republican values, so thats why blacks, hispanics and gays are democrats

Thank you RDean for being the token racist on the thread.

When you condemn "one of these children is black"

but not

Homosexuality, welfare, unemployment, dropouts, STD.s. obesity, fatherless children, abortion, rape, murder are not Republican values, so thats why blacks, hispanics and gays are democrats

It proves there are people who "drum up" racism to deflect the conversation away from their own racist beliefs.

GOP Convention: Republican Attendees Threw Nuts At Black CNN Camerawoman, Called Her An 'Animal'

Look at these people deflect. Their party is 90% white for a reason. They attack school lunches and daycare and cut food stamps for children and try to keep children from health care and indulge in voter suppression and all of that targeting blacks and have the nerve to call others "racist".

During a segment of “Melissa Harris-Perry” on Sunday on the most-talked about photos of the year, the host and a panel of guests turned to the subject of a Romney family picture that included his recently adopted grandson, Kieran Romney, who is black.

One panelist, actress Pia Glenn, sang “one of these things is not like the other,” with another joking that it was representative of the Republican Party’s lack of diversity. “It really sums up the diversity of the Republican Party, the RNC. At the convention, they find the one black person,” said comedian Dean Obeidallah.

Harris-Perry herself joked about Romney’s grandson marrying the child of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.

Good Heavens! I hope these folks realize that ridiculing someone in this manner will have long lasting effects. This poor child did not deserve to be in the spotlight this way.

So can you point out this terrible ridicule? What is the horrible thing they said about this child? No one seems to know. They just know it was said.
And I do want to point out this was a table of comedians. Not "pundits". All the guests at the table make their living in comedy clubs, not in politics. They were reviewing the year and the addition of a black child to an all white family is noteworthy. Especially when many Mormons believe being black is the mark of Cain and black people shouldn't be allowed in their church.

 

[OohPooPahDoo]

I had no idea it was possible to adopt a grandson.

Palin said the “leftist media” has reached a “new low” and praised the Romneys for adopting the child.

“You really need a conscience, yellow journalists. May your 2014 New Year’s Resolution be to find one,” she added.

Libtards are closet racists and always have been. Their posturing as antiracists since the end of WW2 has been purely for convenience sake as they needed the Civil Rights movement to break down the Christian establishment's control and replace it with a leftwing establishment supposedly based on freedom, but recent events are illustrating that illusion with the Phil Robertson, George Zimmerman and Paula Dean incidents.

As long as the libtars use their control of the federal government to buy off the leaders of the black community, one can expect black to continue to give the libtards 90+% of their vote.

But when the libtards think they no longer need them they will likely jettison the blacks over board like they have done to evangelical groups of both races.

There has never been a libtard worth trusting since the Jacobins set the mold back in the late 1700's and they started sending each other and their own supporters to the gallows. This is a pattern that the far left has repeated since, and genuine liberals of our day are fools to trust them.

Only racist GOP hate radio hosts are allowed to mock the adoption of black children. Doesn't everyone know that by now?????

“So, Chelsea decided to adopt a child from Africa because of her father’s bad heart and Hillary, her mother, fell down. Nothing to do with the fact that this is the latest fashion accessory for elite liberals – particularly of the Hollywood variety. Nothing to do with that at all”
-Rush Limbaugh

 

[edthecynic]

So it's okey to make fun of little children for sick politics no matter what they color they are

got it,

But only if you are CON$ervoFascist!

True....

but I'm usually right on the money. Unlike a guy who claims t hat Houston has one fifth the murders Chicago has and when called on it, can only provide a state showing it to be proportional to their relative populations.

SALT LAKE CITY — Utah ranks in the top 10 for suicide — the region is known as the "suicide belt." But an even more concerning statistic is that the state is ranked fifth for youth suicides.

In 2012, Utah lost 23 youths ages 10–17. There have already been 18 youth suicides in 2013 in Utah. That is an especially tough statistic for the state official who has to investigate these deaths.

Study Finds Utah Leads Nation in Antidepressant Use - Los Angeles Times

SALT LAKE CITY — Doctors here have for years talked about the widespread use of antidepressants in the state. But there was no hard evidence until a national study that tracked drug prescriptions came to an unexpected conclusion:

Antidepressant drugs are prescribed in Utah more often than in any other state, at a rate nearly twice the national average.

Although, honestly, if I had to live my life with fucking Mormons all the time, I'd be pretty depressed, too.

 

[JoeB131]

Even CNN's wading into this one. Pretty much condemned MSNBC last night on-air.

Well, it is no news that even CNN is to the right of MSNBC, but it is news that they would actually speak out on the topic.

The slut has apologized.... Like that makes a difference.

If you want to see it, it's here. pMSNBC is fast scrubbing it. See it while you can

Melissa Harris-Perry Panel Mocks Black Romney Grandchild As Token » The Right Scoop -

Should point out that same segment had three pictures of Obama that they made fun of him.

To the point, Mitt Romney belongs to a whackadoodle cult that teaches Dark Skin is a curse from God and didn't allow blacks to become full members until 1979.

That kid is going to have much bigger problems than someone on MSNBC made a joke about him (or her.)

No one was making fun of the kid.

Conservatives once again demonstrate they can't take a joke.

Jokes are supposed to be funny.

Point taken, it really wasn't very funny.

But it was pretty obvious that jest was the intent.

Was your intent jest when you referred to Sarah Palin's baby as a "retard"?

Actually he would be worse off if he was raised by two liberal gay people. If he didn't totally agree with their lifestyle, to them he would be a redneck, racist, homophobe, uncle tom.
