Some people see it as being against Americans as individual people (like being racist, except against anyone from America).

Others see it as being against the American government or parts of the American government. So technically, an American could be anti-American.

A major world religion that gained sudden popularity in mid-2002 in all countries apart from the USA, following the inspired actions of the largely misunderestimated President G W Bush, head of the 'Parents Against Scary Things' society. See also 'sanity'.
US Citizen - Why don't none you folks like us guys no more?

Anyone Else - We've realised that Christianity is a considerably less appealing religion than anti-americanism.

Disagreeing with America's bullyboy tactics against the world. Not to mention its embarrassingly dim President.

The mother of all anti's, second only to anti-abortion. A rhetorical handgrenade thrown at anyone who questions/critisizes the state, or who otherwise fulfills democracy. Aslo known as intellectuals, academics, the French, Democrats, left-wingers, activists, thinkers, the ROW, and...well....pretty much anyone who has the mental capacity to think for themselves.
While 69% of Americans believed Saddam was directly connected to 9/11, the other 31% was scoffed at for being "anti-American"

Get the anti-American mug.
A stupid-ass insult aimed at anyone who doesn't agree with right-wing political, economic, social or religious goals or doesn't agree with the right-wing, revisionist view of American history and policies as inherently altruistic and benign. Often used by far right Republicans to mean anyone to the political left of Ronald Reagan. Used by some ignorant Democrats to mean anyone to the left of moderate liberals/conservative Democrats like Joe Lieberman and Hillary Clinton. Used especially harshly to defame and dismiss Minorities (especially black people and Arabs) who unflinchingly shine some light on the more sordid parts of the American past and present to the chagrin of some white people in denial who want to believe racism is over or wasn't all that bad.
Intelligent American: "The war in Iraq is a fucking travesty. The fact that perhaps more than 100,000 Iraqi civilians are dead and probably more than 5,000 US soldiers are dead because of it is horrific. I don't think history will look kindly on this massacre. I hope our grandchildren will forgive us for our actions which brought about the economic decline which will leave them in debt."

Ignorant American: "Shut the fuck up you black-welfare-recipient-liberal-pinko-commie-anarcho-Kim Jong Hugo Fidel Chavez Ahmadinejad-loving-anti-American-fag-loving-queer. The surge is working and we had to fight this war because the terrists are taking of the world because they hate us for our freedumb. You're probably an Obama-loving socialist you fucking hippie. Get a haircut and get a job, terrorist-hugger. You just want America to lose because you hate everything American and hate democracy. Why do you hate freedom?"

Intelligent American: "Nothing about the hijacking of this country by the corporate and bureaucratic elite and bloodthirsty profitering war-mongerers is about 'freedom' or 'democracy'. This is about sacrificing American lives for profit and power. Anyone who sits by and lets this country be hijacked by soulless suits and cheers them on as they bury this country in death tolls, debt and ruin is not a patriot. They're a fucking ultranationalist retard who worships national authority figures and has no concern for the country or their fellow citizens and neighbors. If you support wars so much why don't you enlist in the Army and go fight the war you support so much you fatass, armchair coward?"

Ignorant American: "Uh, I'm doing my job here in the homeland frontline....from my home computer.....uh...SHUT UP YOU FUCKING COMMIE BASTARD!"

Intelligent American: "Go sign up so you fight on the frontline in Iraq or Afghanistan. They need more soldiers for the surge. And pay for this damn war with your own damn money instead of using my tax dollars to do it, you fugging Neanderthal."
