I knew when we saw this Coke commercial during the Super Bowl that Right Wing Heads were Splodin' all over the country, and Twitter proved that to be true. Americans not speaking perfect English? America the Beautiful in other languages! The horror! I want my country back!!! Some of them were so filled with hatred and apoplexy that they forgot that our National Anthem is "The Star-Spangled Banner" and not "America the Beautiful." Oops.
And American History Alert - the Spaniards were here before the British!
If we cannot be proud enough as a country to sing 'American the Beautiful' in English in a commercial during the Super Bowl, by a company as American as they come — doggone we are on the road to perdition.
~ Former Rep. Allen West
As far as the executives at Coca Cola are concerned, however, the United States of America is no longer a nation ruled by the Constitution and American traditions in which English is the language of government. It is not a nation governed in the Anglo-American tradition of liberty. It is instead a nation governed by some all inclusive multi-cultural synthesis of the various forms of government in the world, as expressed by the multiple languages used in the Super Bowl ad to sing a uniquely American hymn that celebrates our heritage.

— jamie (@gnuman1979) February 3, 2014The #fuckcoke hashtag made me realize that there are actually people on Earth who think "American" is a language
— Leonardo Di Caprio (@_ILLTECH) February 3, 2014The irony is that the people shouting "Speak English #fuckcoke" on twitter today barely have a loose grasp on the language themselves.

— Barracks O'Bama (@P0TUS) February 4, 2014Seriously, I doubt Coke cares about being boycotted by people tweeting things like “respect are country” & “your in America.” #SpeakAmerican
— Schmendrick (@ATLGreg1) February 3, 2014No coincidence: ALL of bios I checked of those mad about Coke ad mention patriotism, conservatism,Christianity, NRA and/or 2nd Amendment.
— KennyKwik (@KwikWarren) February 3, 2014Coke should have known better than to highlight diversity. MSNBC should apologize.
— William K. Wolfrum (@Wolfrum) February 3, 2014Twitter is full of tweets from people whose grandparents couldn't speak English mad about a Coke commercial that used other languages. Neat.
