[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems like I recall snide comments on here about Romney's new grandchild--the adopted child.  Those comments were from the Left.[/quote]

Those comments were not about the child, but about Romney. People could not understand why he put out a christmas card with all, but one grandchild- the black one. People assumed he disapproved of the adoption. It was later explained that R the time of the photo, the grandchild had not yet officially been adopted. People stopped commenting after that explanation. [/quote]

Here was the exchange.  It was inappropriate and hateful.

“Everybody loves a baby picture,” Harris-Perry said, “and this was one that really, a lot of people had emotions about this baby picture this year. This is the Romney family. And, of course, there on Governor Romney’s knee is his adopted grandson, who is an African-American, adopted African-American child, Kieran Romney.”

As Harris-Perry made the introduction, panelist Pia Glenn sang “One of these things is not like the others, one of these things just isn’t the same,” a tune whose original lyrics read “one of these things doesn’t belong.”

“And that little baby, front and center, would be the one,” she added.

“And isn’t he the most gorgeous?” Harris-Perry said. “My goal is that in 2040, the biggest thing of the year will be the wedding between Kieran Romney and North West. Can you imagine Mitt Romney and Kanye West as in-laws?”

Comedian Dean Obeidallah chimed in by reducing the baby to a token. “I think this picture is great,” he said. “It really sums up the diversity of the Republican party, the RNC. At the convention, they find the one black person.”[/quote]
