I question if there is any substance behind the "anti-Americanism" concept in this case; there IS a lot of "pro-McCain, don't you DARE blame him or link him to this situation" sentiment and these people will drag up ANY argument, good, bad, idiotic, to protect their person (McCain in this instance).  I hear a lot of this kind of crap from the callers on Washington Journal (CSPAN) every morning.  That's why they invented the MUTE button.

They tried to assimilate me. They failed.
