In which case people need reading comprehension lessons because "Stormfront: Line Nation" doesn't remotely make sense, if that's how they read the URL.
Not really a question of reading comprehension. Upon seeing anything, before we have had time to identify or read the content in any detail, our brains seize upon anything vaguely recognizable and form an instant emotional reaction to it. This is a useful defence mechanism, as it might buy us an extra split second to respond to a threat. So it is inevitable that an url like this will get a negative reaction - we experience a reaction before we've consciously even seen the words, let alone read them.
Of course, in the case of words, you need to have some memory or experience to trigger a negative or positive reaction. If the US Census guy who had to choose an abbreviated name for a document about imports and exports had been a DW regular, he would probably have chosen a name other than impsex.pdf.
