But their pals at Stormfront have comments, but I won't even go to the link. This is just what the search results for 'Free Republic Cheerios commercial' said:

and the comments section of YouTube is one of them. Free Republic tends to concentrate its hate on named people, or minority groups that it associates with 'liberals', or anything it can see as an attack on Christianity (its own version, of course) or that's "unpatriotic". I don't think it's got the energy to keep up general racism from years ago as well, and it has a vague desire to be seen as 'fair' in one respect. I might expect moaning about the ad makers being 'political correct', but not much more than that.

I don't understand why anyone here would go look over there and pollute their mind. Don't give me that "know your enemy" horseshit, we aren't at war and it isn't recon.
