I am not aware of any anti-Americanism on the list. Certainly there are critics of her foreign policy. Not the same thing as anti-Americanism even if Joe does considers his opinions to be the alpha and omega of all that is truly American.

it is quite simple; if you are against the proposition of the US defending herself by pre-emption, which is the only available effective means in a post-9/11 world where transnational terrorist organizations avail themselves of WMD's, then you are anti-american, or at least anti-americans, for you are opposing the US taking the only effective means available by means of which to protect her citizens from harm, which is tantamount to advocating, by default, that they be exposed to increased risks of harm.

The upside is that according to the polls only one third of the Americans are antiamerican. The downside is that we've been through this before in the list and nobody seemed to be interested in the merits of this categorization.
