What were you expecting?
We refer here to that dustup last week over an official MSNBC pre-Super Bowl tweet about a Cheerios commercial that featured a bi-racial family.
The tweet read:
Maybe the rightwing will hate it, but everyone else will go awww: the adorable new #Cheerios ad w/ biracial family,
RNC Chairman Reince Priebus picked up the phone and protested directly to MSNBC president Phil Griffin. Griffin apologized, the tweet was deleted and the employee fired.
Nothing to see here, folks, move on.
Not so fast.

You would be correct.
MSNBC retracted it within a couple of hours and Preibus showed up the next day.
I refer to him as Rancid Pubis, myself.
There, fixed it fer ya!
Firing that tweeting demagogue puts MSNBC a step ahead of ABC and others. Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.
This talk about the (non-existent) racist reactions to the ad is a distraction from the real issue--should the dad have promised his little girl a puppy without O.K.'ing it with his wife first?
