MSNBC has been crazier than usual lately, and that’s saying something, but check out this slimewad tweet about a new ad for Cheerios:

https://twitter.com/msnbc/status/428695592047759360

The right wing will “hate” the biracial family depicted in the Cheerios ad? Um, first of all, they really have short memories over at MSNBC, don’t they?

This is from the same network that mocked Mitt Romney's family for adopting a black baby. https://t.co/kknAwLGtHb — Sean Davis (@seanmdav) January 30, 2014

Insanity at MSNBC is nothing new, but that’s big time douchebaggery even for them.

This really a tweet from MSNBC. Good lord they're awful: https://t.co/ve2ainN6WB — Dave Rubin (@RubinReport) January 30, 2014

Can't wait for @MHarrisPerry to demand a retraction and apology for this Hilterific @msnbc tweet https://t.co/zuoi8DQ02y #NotHoldingMyBreath — Derek Hunter (@derekahunter) January 30, 2014

Lean forward? @msnbc: Maybe the rightwing will hate it, but everyone else will go awww: the adorable new #Cheerios ad w/ biracial family. — Richard Grenell (@RichardGrenell) January 30, 2014

i like how @MSNBC has positioned itself politically as socialist, and tone-wise, as seventh graders with impulse control problems. — Everyone's Famous (@AceofSpadesHQ) January 30, 2014

Imagine if Fox News tweeted something like what @msnbc just did. Obama would have a press conference about it ASAP. — Young Conservatives (@YoungCons) January 30, 2014

@msnbc you disgrace a once great news network. How @NBCNews puts up with your racism is beyond me. #MyRightWingBiracialFamily — Simon Conway (@SimonRadio1776) January 30, 2014

Not that MSNBC will pay attention to anything that blows their false narrative to smithereens, but non-libs have been tweeting some wonderful family photos to counter MSNBC’s hateful lies and smears:

Hi @msnbc cretins: I am "rightwing" & my kids are biracial. Take your self-righteous hatred & shove it. RT if you agree! — Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) January 30, 2014

Happy New Year @msnbc, no champagne 4 wife cause shes expecting our 1st BIRACIAL CHILD! @TwitchyTeam @michellemalkin pic.twitter.com/7qsGPtGZ7o — Mike B. Cavazos (@MikeBCavazos) January 30, 2014

“Bigoted, sanctimonious pricks” about says it.

Actor Nick Searcy joined the fray to counter MSNBC’s disgusting comment:

You mean @MHarrisPerry will hate it, @msnbc! Right wingers like me are LIVING IT! pic.twitter.com/g8LRpQFKNj — Yes, Nick $earcy! (@yesnicksearcy) January 30, 2014

This request will most likely be met with crickets:

Hey, coward who published racist, sanctimonious @msnbc tweet smearing conservatives & "rightwing" biracial families: Show yourself. Own it. — Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin) January 30, 2014

We’ll wait…

Update: MSNBC has deleted its tweet. Here is a screencap for posterity:

Update: MSNBC has apologized.

Earlier, this account tweeted an offensive line about the new Cheerios ad. We deeply regret it. It does not reflect the position of msnbc. — MSNBC (@MSNBC) January 30, 2014

We are deleting the earlier offensive tweet. It does not reflect msnbc's position and we apologize. — MSNBC (@MSNBC) January 30, 2014

Update: So, MSNBC apologized for the tweet, but what about the article that claimed there was “conservative backlash” against an earlier Cheerios ad featuring the biracial family?

No apology. The sentence was just quietly deleted from the MSNBC website.
