Flame away. Politico: "Sarah Palin: MSNBC ‘despicable’"
By LUCY MCCALMONT | 12/31/13 7:10 AM EST Updated: 12/31/13 3:57 PM EST
Sarah Palin says MSNBC should ashamed of a “despicable” segment in which they mocked Mitt Romney’s adopted black grandson.
“Leftist media hounds are not expressing an opinion with this attack; they are expressing a prejudice that would never be accepted if it came from anyone else but the lib[eral] media,” Palin wrote on her Facebook page in a post accompanying the photo of the Romney family. “This latest attack from the Left is despicable.”
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.

That she can call MHP a "leftist" with a straight face. Must be all of that intensive beauty pageant training.
