We're better than Freepers right? The Coke shows how out of touch (& racist) convervatives are

[themaguffin]

America the Beautiful shown in such great diversity is GOOD THING.

Many have issues with Coke and many other corporations.

Yes, at the end of the day, Coke made a Coke ad, but showing diversity in such a way was a positive, unifying thing (except to the backward conservative base).

It's really disconcerting for people not get the positive visuals for people to see this. The right wing reaction bares this out.

Don't let the messenger ruin this. Don't get sidetracked by feelings for Coke one way or another.

I don't drink anything with HFCS, so what Coke sells means nothing to me and I have a big problem with that and other things with Coke, but this enraged wing nuts and for that, it's a good thing. If they push their outrage, it would be HUGE moment for America to see how out of touch conservatives are.

2. One tweet said something like, I'm glad I drink Pepsi. Pepsi was the first drink corporation

to endorse gay marriage and embrace diversity.

4. I thought it was a mediocre ad

I don't get all the reaction saying how great it was.

6. Do you see the reaction to why it's "terrible" and "un-American?" it's not about

the ad being great (it's decent, well done and a nice sentiment) it's about the reaction from the right.

5. The simple things you see are all complicated

I don't think anyone has missed the symbolism in the ad, some are saying try not to let that distract from efforts to highlight other ways in which Coca Cola has a negative effect on the 99%.

7. I see this as an opportunity to the right to expose itself to millions

[Fumesucker]

9. I don't disagree with that n/t

8. Some human beings are not superior to others

We are not "better" than the Freepers. They are wrong on key issues of our time. They are saddled with horrible bigotry. That is not the same as being intrinsically better.

11. I mean not engage in their behavior, not better people, better behavior...

[BainsBane]

12. That I agree with 100%
