No, that's not my point. You said:
> Anybody registering a domain such as this, regardless of content, would receive a similar letter.
So I provide one example showing how that's not true. Comcast sent a cease and desist claiming that Comcastroturf is "confusingly similar" to their trademark, and they mention both the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act and the Lanham Act, which are usually applied for a domain like "comcast2017.com".
> Someone who doesn't know what "astroturf" means could mistakenly associate it with Comcast.
I'm not sure about that: for instance, even when most Americans don't know Latin I don't think Comcast would have any valid legal claim against someone registering a domain such as "comcastestpessima.com".
