When I heard the MSNBC immediate on-air apology for a tweet I assumed we were talking about something shocking.
Here's the text of the tweet made by an MSNBC employee that got an on-air apology and speedy firing of the offending tweeter...
Maybe the rightwing will hate it, but everyone else will go awww: the adorable new #Cheerios ad

Wow. That's so... not very outrageous.
And why was there an apology to Rinse Pubis and the Republican Party???
Do they self identify as "the rightwing" now?
I would have said, "You know, 'the rightwing'... Stormfront, Aryan Nation, KKK... Hitler. That sort of thing. I am not sure who we are supposed to be apologizing to."

We MUST not offend Republicans! I wonder if Joe Scum went and had a talk with the President of MSNBC.
