To call someone 'anti-American', indeed, to be anti-American.....?

Question

(or for that matter anti-Indian, or anti-Timbuktuan) is not just racist, it's a failure of the imagination. An inability to see the world in terms other than those that the establishment has set out for you: If you're not a Bushie you're a Taliban. If you don't love us, you hate us. If you're not Good you're Evil. If you're not with us, you're with the terrorists.

Answer 3

You lost me @ Bushie...racist....

Answer 4

Labeling someone anti-American just because they don't subscribe to your particular brand of patriotism is just stupid and insulting.

Answer 5

if you're not part of the solution, you're part of the problem

Answer 6

I think it's perfectly accurate.

Source(s):

I am openly anti-American.

Answer 7

"Anti-American" is just a label for someone who doesn't think like you, when you consider yourself the Perfect American.

Answer 8

Many people only see the world in black and white when in fact it is gray and gray is too complicated for most.

Answer 9

I agree. If you don't agree with the majority on an issue, argue the issue. Don't resort to personal attacks.

Answer 10

Conspicuously wrong. "American" has a codified definition, to stand in opposition to which is by definition "anti-American."

Answer 11

No establishment tells me right from wrong.
Attacking civilians is wrong, always.
There is no grey area.
Attacking America is a bad idea, always.
We will respond with all our might.

Answer 12

That is pretty accurate.


After 9/11 this is what the Republican Party started to do. They would attack a persons loyalty to the country.


The way I see it, I have never seen the country, in this kind of mess. The Republicans DID NOT DO A VERY GOOD JOB.

I don't KNOW why they did this to the country and if they had their "Rather's" they want more of it.

I wonder what arundhati roy would call THAT?
