Hmm must be those same "Right Wingers" who mocked Mitt Romney for taking a photo with his black grandson....
Good thing my BS meter goes to 11; pmsnbc just pegged it!
Typical liberal nonsense. Spit out something defamatory about conservatives, wait for the backlash, and then apologize. The Left will love it because it takes a shot at conservatives plus they love people who apologize. And since the message it out and Americans for the most part have a short attention span, the damage has been done.

MSNBC must be filled with mental ward rejects—too crazy for the nut house.
They don’t know that Conservatives/Republicans were the ones that were for Civil Rights.
The Left are the ones that want to keep other races down and on welfare.
It is exactly what they think, they just got caught saying it publicly.
I am surprised one of the MSNBC pukes didn’t make a connection with Oreo’s for a puke liberal laugh.
“It does not reflect the position of msnbc.”
It represents EXACTLY the position of msnbc!
Why, MSNBC, do you apologize for your sincerely held beliefs?
Cheerio’s is getting so much free advertising. They should design a new Cheerio, half chocolate, half vanilla. It would be a blast.
Dont worry, “Faux News” is the real enemy.
Hey, pMSNBC, project much?
This kind of stuff happens every other day.
A cynical person would have concluded that the company developing this strategy to boost their viewership.
I will believe it when someone drawing a salary gets fired.
#MyRightWingBiracialFamily
Did they fire the racist tweeter?
Crickets.
Why is it that the only people that talk about race are the race baiters ?
The rest of the country does not give two $hits anymore, period.
Go find real news
That commercial is already airing in my area.
I didn’t even NOTICE the races of the people in it until the third or fourth time I saw it, and even then I never gave it a second thought... until now.
My question is: Why do leftists CARE so much about such things?
Leading the charge was conservative commentator Michelle Malkin, who posted a photo of her two biracial children on Twitter and launched the hashtag #MyRightWingBiracialFamily.
“Hey @msnbc jerks: This is #MyRightwingBiracialFamily. We love #cheerios. Enough with your race card crap,” Ms. Malkin said.
Richard Wolff, executive editor of MSNBC.com, and the network’s Twitter account posted separate mea culpas.
“The Cheerios tweet from @msnbc was dumb, offensive and we’ve taken it down. That’s not who we are at msnbc,” said Mr. Wolff on Twitter.
