Party Celebrating New Embassy in Washington Turns Into Anti-American protest

Posted by Matt in October 25th, 2006

A party celebrating the new Swedish embassy in Washington turned into an anti-American protest Sunday. The lead singer of one of Sweden’s most popular bands — Ola Salo of “The Ark” — sang a song ridiculing President Bush. He also said of a plane flying overhead — that in the U.S. you never know where the plane is headed — and that it should crash into the White House.

	Rising Anti-Americanism This is a question from The Women's International Perspective, based in Monterey, CA. Our News Editor Louise Belfrage has twice addressed growing Anti-Americanism on The Byline Portal. On June 29th she posted a report from Turkey that found the Turkish public dislikes the United States more than any other nation in the world. On September 29th she posted a story from Germany's Deutsche Welle that reported 48 percent of Germans think that the US is a greater threat to world peace than Iran. Louise asks the candidates: As President, how would you approach the continuously rising anti-Americanism? What is your view on the causes of it and what can by done on behalf of the US to better its international moral standing? Tags: antiamericanism, CNN/YouTube, iran, peace, WIP

	Anti-Americanism in Europe. VULGAR COMMENTS WILL BE DELETED 6 minutes film showing anti-Americanism in Europe. The Center for New American Media, The Anti-Americans A hate/love relationship A film by Louis Alvarez, Andrew Kolker, Peter Odabashian This video is made by American institute. So for those who think America is bunch of idiots, note that there is self-criticism here. I disabled comments and deleted all ~400 comments because I got tired of the hate and shallow arguments coming from both sides. Every time I get an email ... and it is exhausting. This could be an interesting discussion but the problem is that most people who say stupid things in comments have either never left USA or Europe ... so they simply have no idea what are they talking about ... Most importantly people confuse patriotism with self-criticism. The fact that... Tags: AntiAmericanism
	Montebello US flag burning Dear American watchers, this wasn't the message and the vibe of the demonstration. It wasn't anti-Americanism. This type of activity came when the Communist and Anarchist showed up. They came ready and meant business. Notice how they were saying the US is bad while waiving flags with Mao, Stalin and Lenin on them... Real protesters know your country's being highjacked from the inside, so is ours. That was the actual point of the demonstration itself. Tags: anarchist, burning, communist, flag, montebello, riot, SPP, summit, US

	Liberal Fascism (part one) Please keep all comments and debates civil, no vulgarities, ECT... Many of the things that fascist liberals push that are allegedly good for us, actually end up harming us. Such as the Kyoto treaty, many other so-called forms of environmentalism, Global Poverty Act, so-called "peace activism", socialized health-care, allegedly fighting big business. The Kyoto treaty (and many other forms of environmentalism), essentially sacrifices our sovereignty, and allows other governments to tax us and legislate some of our laws. It's also a form of global social welfare "Robin Hood" steel from the rich to give to the poor. It destroys the big business in the US they can't meet the tough labor laws, labor costs and environmental standards. The big US businesses essentially break up, and moved to... Tags: Beck, Glenn
