Okay boys and girls, riddle me this. What must your IQ be to be a regular viewer of MSNBC. I mean let’s face it, if I want to hear what is nothing more than pure propaganda I can go to the DNC’s website or WhiteHouse.gov. Why do I need these MSNBC clowns? They have quite that cast of bizarre characters there on the network who it seems are always seeing just how fair they can go in their effort to act as the smear squad under the employ of the Democrat Party. I’m sure most, either during or after by way of any number of stories about it, heard about how Melissa Harris-Perry, one of the resident loons of the network, took great pleasure in ridiculing the fact that Mitt Romney as an adopted grandson who happens to be black. And one of her fellow panelist went so far as to describe the family photo as being an accurate representation of the Democrat Party which Ms. Harris-Perry cheerfully agreed with.
What must have been somewhat unexpected by Ms. Harris-Perry was the rather quick and quite intensive blow-back that came in response to her idiotic comments that came in her direction from many on the left. So with nowhere left to turn, and in what I can only assume was an effort to salvage at least some of her supposed credibility, she took to the airwaves and offer up what was at best a rather half-hearted apology. When that was deemed as being less than adequate it was a few days later that he delivered what has been described as, at least appearing to be, a more "heartfelt apology." Ms. Harris-Perry says she only meant to say "positive and celebratory things" about former Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney's adopted black grandson during a segment on her show her show last week. Now while she may claim that that was what her intent, that was certainly not what came across.
So in an attempt to further address the issue, Ms. Harris-Perry used the opening of her news program Saturday to apologize to Romney and his family for mocking the infant, Kieran, last Sunday, even though she already apologized last Tuesday through Twitter. She appeared near tears by the end of her emotional statement. The news anchor said that whatever her intent was, "the reality is that the segment proceeded in a way that was offensive," the segment was in "poor judgment," and she wanted to apologize "without reservation or qualification." While Harris-Perry said adults like Romney "implicitly consent to having less property," families and children "should not be treated callously or thoughtlessly." She made the claim that her intentions were not meant to be malicious, but said "I broke the ground rule that families are off-limits, and for that I am sorry." I would argue she knew exactly what she was doing when she did it!
Harris-Perry said that she and others on her show suggested that "interracial families are in any way funny or deserving of ridicule," and that her program is dedicated to advocating for a wide variety of families. But during her show in question, the show's cast made numerous comments on a photo of Romney and his numerous grandchildren, with Harris-Perry who singled out Kieran because his skin color then proceeded to ask her show's guests for comment. One of the geniuses on the show actually sang a little song calling the baby as being "one of the things that don't belong here," while yet another implied he was a "token" with Harris-Perry laughing, obviously thinking that the whole thing was quite funny. Further, she described little Kieran as "gorgeous" and said it would be "great" if one day he married North West, the biracial daughter of Kanye West and his fiance, Kim Kardashian.
And in closing here I like to provide a little background on the brilliant Ms. Harris-Perry. Believe it or not this moron was actually an associate professor at, what else but, the Center for African American Studies at Princeton University. She left there in 2011 after being denied a full professorship because of "questions about her work and an assessment of where she is" in her career. Now there’s a shocker, right? Currently she is Professor of Political Science at Tulane University. Her father was the first dean of African-American Affairs at the University of Virginia. Her mother, Diana Gray, who oddly enough is white, was working on her doctorate when they met. She went on to work for nonprofit organizations that provided such services as day-care centers, health care for people in rural communities and ‘access to reproductive care’ for poor women. In other words, her parents are your basic run-of-the-mill liberals.
Harris-Perry is another black who has been able through such things as her race and the connections provided to her by her parents, to get where she is today. Most likely after a career of never having to actually work a day in her life, she somehow now feels qualified to ridicule anyone who she deems as not agreeing with her on the issues that she feels are important. And obviously she is willing to stoop to any level in doing so. And if she is genuinely sorry, which I sincerely doubt, what she is most likely sorry about is not anything that she said. What she’s sorry about is that she got busted for saying something so stupid. She apparently was under the impression that there would be very few, if any, on the left who would disagree with her description of the Romney family photo. And in this particular instance, she happened to be wrong, hence the demonstration of crocodile tears on her television show.
