You disagree with me? You're anti-American!

Yesterday South Carolina Senator Jim DeMint called the Obama administration "the most anti-American administration" in his lifetime. Personally, I don't think it's appropriate to call someone or a group of people anti-American unless they are the likes of the 9/11 terrorists who have a serious thought of hurting the people of this country. Republicans are going to disagree with ideas and policies presented by democrats. Democrats are going to disagree with ideas and policies presented by republicans. That's normal. However, to call our President anti-American?
During the eight LLLOOOOONNNNNGGGGG years of George W. Bush, I never called or even thought of President Bush as anti-American. I disagreed with most of his policies but that label never crossed my mind. The "evil liberal media" always seems to pick up on conservatives pointing the finger or suggesting that certain individuals, mainly on the left are anti-American. Why? Why must they play that card while politicking? I don't recall hearing a liberal or someone on the left ever pointing such a finger. It seems to be another scare tactic republicans attempt to use to scare the old folks. Lame.
In other news Texas Governor Rick Perry is jumping into the race for the GOP presidential nomination. The same man who juggled the idea of Texas seceding from the union a few years ago. How very American.
