Actress Tamera Mowry-Housley tweeted this earlier tonight:
Note that she made no mention of her political preferences. Absolutely none. Yet, her innocuous tweet and retweet caused a firestorm from some unhinged Obama supporters who attacked Mowry-Housley as a sellout to her race and a Romney shill.
sister sister are republicans? lmfao

I can't believe people are harassing @TameraMowryTwo because she made a harmless comment and is married to a white man. #spreadlove

Mowry-Housley’s husband, Fox News correspondent Adam Housley, quickly leapt to her defense — which provoked yet more race-baiting and partisan sniping from critics of the couple (who are expecting their first child later this month).

Tamera Mowry-Housley's husband, according to Wikipedia: "Fox News Correspondent Adam Housley". That explains it.

Housley let loose:
Seriously?! You attack my wife @TameraMowryTwo because she said people were talking over each other. Then assume who she's voting for
— Adam Housley (@adamhousley) October 12, 2012
Then make racist/rude comments 2 @tameramowrytwo because she married a white man who works for Fox?! You should be ashamed of yourselves
— Adam Housley (@adamhousley) October 12, 2012
This is 2012. You don't know me..and you don't know my wife @tameramowrytwo How dare people make such horrible comments.That's true racism
— Adam Housley (@adamhousley) October 12, 2012
Please introduce yourself the net time we pass on the street.
— Adam Housley (@adamhousley) October 12, 2012
That's whats wrong with discourse right now in the country. My wife @tameramowrytwo tweets nothing political, but is attacked
— Adam Housley (@adamhousley) October 12, 2012
Attacked because she is married to a white guy…and man who…get this…works for Fox. oh boy…that's a big one.
— Adam Housley (@adamhousley) October 12, 2012
These racist bastards…and that is exactly what they are…are ticked because she isn't doing/saying what they want her to say? HUH?
— Adam Housley (@adamhousley) October 12, 2012
You should see her timeline. You should see the people saying these things just because she said people shouldn't talk over one another
— Adam Housley (@adamhousley) October 12, 2012
How the hell is that political, or taking a side. Even if she did, which she didn't, it is her god given American right.
— Adam Housley (@adamhousley) October 12, 2012
@SincereTia @tameramowrytwo but twitter is harmful when people attack and say racist things. People who should know better
— Adam Housley (@adamhousley) October 12, 2012
@tonyamc2010 nope…I am calling these racist punks out cause it is being accepted too much in our society
— Adam Housley (@adamhousley) October 12, 2012
It's simple people. Just because Romney is white I am not voting for him. Just because Obama is black Tamera isn't voting for him
— Adam Housley (@adamhousley) October 12, 2012
Our individual decisions…cause that's what they are..will be determined on our own. Some people can't handle that…and that's on you
— Adam Housley (@adamhousley) October 12, 2012
Mowery-Housley appreciated her hubby’s outspoken defense:
My husband @adamhousley is a G! Lol
— Tamera Mowry-Housley (@TameraMowryTwo) October 12, 2012
And so did many fans of the couple who judge them by the content of their character and depth of their love, not their skin color:
I love how he stood up for his wife! ? RT @TameraMowryTwo: My husband @adamhousley is a G! Lol
— Nurse not Dr. Tay (@KaramelDimples_) October 12, 2012

The things people are saying about @TameraMowryTwo & @adamhousley are just hateful. Black Blue Red White Green Love is all the same Color
