As I said before Harris-Perry did NOTHING for which she needs to apologize.
Nor did anything she said deserve the kind of hateful backlash that she received from those on the Right. And am I the only who thinks that.
MHP is of mixed race herself, and an educator, how anybody could accuse her of being insensitive to this child or mean spirited toward the Romney family is beyond me.
I agree 100%! It pained me to watch this. I love her and she did nothing to apologize for. I'm so sick of the right. We sure need to get out the vote this year...SO important.
ReplyDeleteI love how the right wing has gone crazy over this, how can you go after a child? Where was the outrage when someones daughter was called a slut by Limbaugh? When Romney was asked about it, he said he wouldn't have used those words. Would he have called her a harlot? Where was the outrage when Newt said that poor children should be janitors to get a work ethic that they don't get from their parents, who incidentally are working two or three low paying jobs. Where is the outrage over the children losing food stamps or whose parents aren't getting extended unemployment benefits so they can eat? What about those not able to attend Head Start? There are a lot of things to be outraged about. What Melissa and her panel did wasn't one of them.
DeleteI agree w/you! She is one of my favored on MSNBC! I want them to bring back Martin B. too!! That firing was not required - he didn't say what the media has been spreading!
ReplyDeletethis should give the seahag an orgasm.
ReplyDeleteFUCK you, right wing hypocrites. FUCK YOU.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely agree. There was no reason to apologize in the first place, but let me just say this: No one, and I mean no one, apologizes with more sincerity than the on air anchors on MSNBC. Ed Shultz, Keith Oberman, Martin Bashir, Rachel Maddow, and Melissa Harris Perry.
ReplyDeleteNone of that "If I offended anyone with my words, I'm sorry but..." bullshit. And none of that ignorance from all shows on Fox and Rush Limbaugh "Iz dat hole fixed yet daddy? Iz dat hole fixed yet daddy? Why isn't dat hole fixed yet, Daddy" (mocking a sitting president's child, over and over again. Sarah, shuck and jive, I could go on and on.
She's apologized, the appropriate response from the entire Romney family, if they had an ounce of class, would be a public "Apology Accepted". Especially after the Tagg Romney affair and Queen Ann's royal smirk.
Unfortunately, it's far from over, but it should be.
3:04 is where it starts

Gov. Romney did accept her apology. You have once again spoken too soon.
DeleteYeah, I made a HUGE unforgivable mistake,by responding to a comment posted yesterday, and early in the thread. Bishop Mitt of Staples DID accept her apology. He must have had an "off" day, because it's so not like him.
DeleteAny word on when Ann and Tagg will follow suit. oh omniscient one?
I don't think she should have apologized....Bill O'Reilly says alot of messed up things, never apologizes....Rush Limbaugh emphasizes he said it and what....if you look at Fox news clips on YouTube,thier are several real racist comments made, no apologies. Did Lewis Zimmerman apologize to the Martin family. Did the US government apologize to African American or oops my bad black people.
DeleteAnd bring back Keith Olbermann.
ReplyDeleteYUP.
Deletedowl
She is a shining star and far outclasses all those nasty people who attacked and criticized her. I have even more admiration for her than I did before. What a wonderful woman!
ReplyDeleteLynne, I don't disagree with you in terms of Melissa, but because you are a nasty liar regarding others, I can't support you.
DeleteAnonymous7:04 PM You are a douche bag that no one here likes. Deal with it. You;re a hate mongering half illiterate fool, who never knows when to shut the hell up. Go fuck yourself.
DeleteLynne, I've got your back. Normal persons usually have a specific statement to back up calling someone a "nasty liar". But to call YOU, of all people, a nasty liar, Lynne, lol... someone's got a severe rash on their lady private parts from poor hygiene and/or general butt-hurt from piss-poor book sales. Yeah, * I * can be nasty to the ignorant bagger-fuckwads, but Lynne is always tactful. And we're both truthful. So, FUCK YOU, you no-brain Palin ass kisser bot.
DeleteJust because hearing the truth hurts your little feelings doesn't make it less true, you disturbed piece of shit.
BTW, did you spend any time with over the holidays with your two sons from your disposable family, Chucktard, Junior? You do remember the kids that you dumped along with their Mother? That was your "first" family,including your wife that you were married and living with when you knocked up that skank that you worked with and then married the slut so you Heath-Palin hypocrites would have a child born in wedlock, instead of the usual bastards that the women in your family are known for "pooping out", per your pedo-daddy. Family values, Heath-Palin style. Keep up your comments, you pervy Palin kiddy-diddlers, and we'll continue confronting you sorry asses with the truth.
7:04
DeleteBWAAHAAHAAHAA!!!!
You're such a douche.
Like Lynne needs 7:04's "support". Seems like the idiots have cabin fever. Wait a few days, the bowling alleys will be open again and they'll be in their element.
DeleteTake away $arah fb page you take away her platform, already looked into it, can't be done, damn shame tho
ReplyDeleteTake away slanderous lib blogs. It's DISGUSTING that people lie about paternity, about a politicians childhood and parents. You can opine all you want about the person who is IN politics. But trash them? Lie about their parents and family? Manipulate? Distort?
DeleteDISGUSTInG.
Only libs too. Notice the right doesn't do this to the left. They stick to politics and DEM lies.
@7:04 Riiiight. The right *never* says a bad thing about anyone. I get it, you're either completely delusional, or you just came here from an alternate dimension where Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin do not exist. Please take me with you when you go back there!
DeleteBoscoe, 704 is right. Remember when the liberals attacked John McCain in 2000 and accused him of having a black child when in fact, he and his wife had adopted that child. Oh, wait, that was the Bush campaign.
DeleteMHP is a class act. Not a one of the Palin kids have ever sat in college classroom. And the only Tulane they'll ever know is the 'two-lane fucking road' that they drive on heading to Hair-Fucking School. They're nothing but a bunch of inbred sibling-fucking' losers. They got it honest from their sorry, low-down parents.
DeleteOh the ass clown fucktard at 7:04 has checked in. What a sad, pathetic troll we have, stupid as a sack of hammers and a Palin tool as well. Poor thing actually things she's a friend of the Palins. ROFLMAO at that one.
DeletePalin and all the conservatives just cannot take it when an intelligent person is black. You don't get intelligence and smarts from your skin color. But they'll never understand that. In their world, it's just impossible for anyone but a pure, white person to be at the top of the food chain.
DeleteI'm so sick of these MSNBC apologies. I'm not watching anymore. Fox and RW a-holes like Limbaugh, Coulter & Beck never apologize and they lie on the regular and say awful, racist & sexist things. MSNBC needs to grow a pair and start supporting the people they hire. All these forced apologies & resignations are making them look pathetic and weak kowtowing to th RW lunatic fringe. I don't think Martin or MPH should have apologized at all.
ReplyDeleteLibs are whiners which makes them hypocrites. You've told some big lies here Gryphen and youve play victim.
ReplyDeleteIf ANY Dem were repub, they'd be nowhere near DC.
Oh fuck you and your queen victim, "Cuntess Palin." Choke on your own shit and die. Haven't you heard? The progressives are taking over, you embittered denialist.
DeleteSTFU, Krusty. For an old biddy knocking on 50 years old, you still haven't got a fucking clue. Get a job and take a shower occasionally. You know, make a resolution to do something different in 2014.
DeleteYou're such an ignorant dweeb. Your last sentence makes no sense and your first two are complete lies, projection really. Go clean your bedpan, dumbass.
Delete"and youve play victim' - now there's some great English. Another Palin dropout write that ?
DeleteSpit and Rinse, then chew on some gauze.
Deleteand youve play victim.
If ANY Dem were repub, they'd be nowhere near DC,
So if any "Dem" (Them?) were "repub" (new bar? new pubes?) they'd be nowhere near DC. (Does that mean repubs run on batteries and dems run on alternating current?)
And that's just the tip of the shakespear!
I detest the far right Republicans, FOX, Sarah Palin, Rush Limpdog, McConnell, Cantor, and Romney. Check out any of them and they lie, distort the facts, are frauds, supposed Christians, etc.
ReplyDeleteVotes are what are going to count in 2014 and we need to volunteer and get the voters out. Many have already started working in that regard.
It's msnbc whose playing footies with these gop nutbags.
ReplyDeleteThey (media included) perpetuate their (gop aka baggers) false validity by heeding to their bullshit.
It's all fun and games when these nutbags go after other people's lives. Right chickenshit Phil? What happens when these clowns come after your job phil?
It's still weird and sick that a mormon can adopt an African-American baby. so easily. Then as an commenter pointed out, dress the baby as a girl. WTF Once again the obvious truth is buried under gop bullshit. Bullshit tabloid journalism.
I bet 5 minutes after that photo was taken, the young baby was sent back to the organization it came from. Just a prop.
DeleteThe photographer said cut and mitt the nit yelled, "Yuck! anne where's the goddamn hand sanitizer. "
DeleteI pray mitt doesn't tie the poor baby to the roof of his car.
This is approaching ridiculous levels. Libs apologize even when they did nothing wrong (mostly because they are decent people with morals) but fixed noise, the quitter queen, flush, and all their ilk say things beyond horrible and they NEVER apologize. Fuk you trolls! We want OUR country back. If rethugs believe in hell then they should go there, it is what they deserve. Scarah is not trisomy-21's mom! Insert bronx cheer here. Where did scarah's underwear go when she was a little girl? Bronx cheer! YOU are the disgusting ones trolls! Bronx cheer!
ReplyDeleteMelissa absolutely needed to apologize, and she did. Fine. Her apology was a lot better than that left-wing hate-mongering "comedian" Dean Obeidallah's was.
ReplyDeleteMSNBC: The network where they keep needing to apologize. No wonder their ratings suck.
Go fuck your sister again, Creepy Chuckie, Jr. The one with the fucked up wonky eve.
DeleteReally? Seems to me the left takes the high road and gives heartfelt apologies even when they have done nothing wrong while the right, cough Fox News cough, NEVER apologizes. So how about applying the same standard to both sides, Dork.
DeleteThe Romney family is a political artifact. Mitt may not remember but he ran for president. To put out a photo of himself with all his grandkids and without comment is phony. Why not announce and then have a pic of the happy parents and baby and granny and gramps. The blue shirt, pink shirt thing is creepy. By the way, why is that baby boy wearing pink? Hmmmmm?
ReplyDeleteHead's Up: Twitter buzz regarding Mitt Romney/Bain being sued in federal court for racketeering, eToys. I'm watching for more details. Maybe the MHP flap was just a distraction.
ReplyDeleteIt was two of her guests who made inappropriate comments. One started singing the song about which thing is not like the others, and the other one said the picture was the face of the Republican party. If the segment was pre-recorded, then she was wrong to not delete it. However, I think it is shown live. In which case, MHP did nothing wrong or insensitive. It's a lot of bullshit from the right as usual while they apply a different standard to the left than they apply to themselves.
ReplyDeleteActually, those comments were not inappropriate; they were completely true. However, the rightwing nutjobs are professional victims, and thin-skinned ones, at that.
DeleteNot one word of what that panel said was true. Not one word.
Deleteot
ReplyDeleteMichael Scheuer’s statement is an implicit threat on the President’s life. Fox News continues to use Michael Scheuer as some sort of international expert on several of their shows.
http://www.addictinginfo.org/2014/01/04/man-endorsed-assassinating-obama-benghazi-expert-fox-news-video/
Actually, it's not really ot.
DeleteThis is just one more example of how the right wing media is permitted to constantly broadcast lies, hate, threats and exaggerations without ever being called on it. On the other hand, MSNBC and MHP are tarred and feathered for saying anything that could possibly be considered offensive by only the thinnest-skinned of people.
Fox knew what this traitor had been saying and writing and yet STILL welcomed him as an expert commentator, as they do many people who offer nothing but lies and malice.
Am sorely disappointed that she felt the need to apologize..........The Mormon Church needs to apologize for perpetrating the hate campaign of its leaders against persons of color........and to the child for helping create an atmosphere of racism........and to the world for the hoax it has lived........simple as that.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how that child, no matter how loved, will ever not feel like the token black in the family.
ReplyDeleteGryphon, I have to disagree. She brought up the issue of the black child only so she could poke fun at Romney's perceived feelings about race. Just because she "is of mixed race herself, and an educator" doesn't give her a immunity to stupidity.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't call for her to be fired, nor am I among the whiners who are trying to score political points on this--she erred, she apologized--end of story. No need to deny her mistake.
We eschew the french "Gryphon" in favor of "Gryphen". She brought up the subject as part of a comedic look back on the year, I take her at her word and every word of the apology was sincere. No one's giving her African American/ Mormonism privilege, Well at least not 47 percent.
DeleteI knew by the name that this would be a leftwing wacked out weirdo batshit crazy site.
