on The Cycle. Why the hell should anyone countenance a hissy fit by the RNC/GOP? For years we've listened to the likes of their talk jocks, pols like Cruz and the other Teabaggers, and establishment R pols make racist and sexist comments without apology and double down on them. Griffin should have said that R spokes people would be welcomed back when they could learn to treat all others with respect. This is so ass backwards.

(145,176 posts)This Cheerios ad was attacked by the right the first time it was shown and I expect the right to continue to object to it.

(26,060 posts)(I don't tweet or facebook) telling him to stop apologizing to those who would never watch MSNBC with a gun to their head and start taking into account the people who actually watch his network. I also said I can't imagine where "liberals" got the reputation for being cowards when all it takes is someone making a complaint before he whimpers for mercy.
