    Does it get any more pathetic than racists attacking the Romney family for adopting an innocent precious baby, who happens to be black? You would think there would be outrage from all Americans reading or viewing this pathetic story, when any family is willing and wanting to raise a child no matter what color they are, but apparently not this racist (*)(*)(*)(*)(*) on MSNBC.

    (CNN) - An MSNBC panel on Sunday poked fun at a photo of Mitt Romney, his wife and their nearly two-dozen grandchildren, zeroing in on the Romneys' recently adopted African-American grandchild, Kieran.

    During the segment, which appeared on the show "Melissa Harris-Perry," the panelists made jokes about the infant sticking out.

    An MSNBC panel said something stupid and offensive? Next thing you know you'll be telling me there is gambling at Rick's.

    Is there video, no offense but CNN quoting right wing blogs isn't exactly journalism.

    And this right AFTER the left went all-out attacking that Duck Dynasty guy. Think they'll be calling for this MSNBC commentator to be banned from the airwaves? Somehow I kinda doubt it.

    And for the record, I'm all FOR her staying on at MSNBC. I think she ought to keep talking and showing us what the left thinks.

    Can you imagine the reaction that would take place if this had happened on FOX News?

    So you agree that attacking Romney for adopting a child is called for. Why am I not surprised with your comment

    BTW, Romney is a private citizen, try and catch up

    And then panelist who sang On of These Things is Not Like the Others, defends yourself by saying she didn't directly mock the baby. No, she didn't. What she did was even worse; she implied black babies don't belong with white families.

    No one ever said CNN had much to do with journalism anyway. But they did put the video in the article AND quote the twitter "response" from this classless lil' cupcake so at least they're not pulling a NYTimes and making it up.

    The statement from the actress on the panel was an attempt at comedy but a little racist, the other panelist who is also on CNN made a funny statement that is tinged with racism....but the host did not make a racist statement so your headline is a lie.

    But then real racist statements are ignored while this drivel sets off the right wing sheep which makes me laugh

    Why would anyone mock someone adopting a baby? I can see you agree with them

    BTW, it is not a lie, from the host:

    Asked to come up with captions for the photo as part of a game they were playing,

    Why would any host do this if they were not a racist?

    It really shows just how clueless progressives are about FOX News, thanks to their left-wing echo chamber, if they really believe things like this. Otherwise, it's just bad hyperbole.

    While I doubt many of the staff on MSNBC have a night job serving punch at the local KKK establishment, even you gotta admit that using a baby as a punch-line is an extremely classless move.

    That being said, these guys deserve to be mocked, unlike the kid who has no comprehension of what was said of her and her own skin color by a bunch of limousine liberals.

    The video is at the bottom of the CNN article linked in the first post of this thread. The Romney picture starts at 4:00 minutes into the video.

    Its interesting that MSNBC looked at 5 photos, 3 were obama political pictures, 1 was of michelle obama's haircut, and the last was the Romneys family picture in which the panel made fun of the Romney family and the black baby.

    "progressives" are so brainwashed they can't even give an atta-boy to Romney when he does something we should all support.
