The ad features the same black father and white mother from Cheerios' "Just Checking" ad, which received an outburst of hateful comments from those opposed to interracial marriage, and an equally forceful response from those happy to see such a family depicted in a major brand's ad campaign.

So, you see, one must have "approved" opinions. If one is not in favor of mixed race marriages, he has "hateful comments" whereas those are in favor have "forceful responses." It seems to be a nice balanced way of putting it.

My point—and I do have one—is that the news should report things objectively, i.e., leave out the adjectives.

Good point.

Actually, yes.

Some opinions are so disgusting that those espousing them *should* be torn limb from limb by an enraged crowd. Child molesters would meet my criteria for that, along with someone who said anything derogatory about a mixed race marriage or the people in it. Some things, such as racial thinking, are so vile that free speech be damned, the espouser should just have the crap kicked out of them and get run out of town.

sorry, I hate racists like I do child molesters - first amendment or not, whack ‘em first, hide the body, best good for the Human Race.
