Can you explain the "anti-American" thing though as I just can't get it and am a little bit put out that such Naziesque measures are used to gain public support.
Simple. They're not using "Naziesque" tactics to gain popular support. The US has a lot of faults, but copying the Nazis is not one of them.

I don't agree with the "You're with us or against us" line of thinking, its downright stupid, and takes the whole choice thing away, a pretty important part of democrcy. The "them" however, is referring to terrorists, who have blown up buildings, and committed many atrocities. Terrorists are people of all races. The Nazis "them" were the Jews, who had done nothing wrong. They were one race.

My point is that when the right wing get ticked off it's this "with us or against us" attitude that has no reasoning other than emotional.
Of course. The left can do that too however. Look at Communist/Stalinist Russia.

The simple fact is EXTREEMISTS are bad, whether they be left or right. I think the US is getting far too extreme for my liking, but to lable every right winger a racist is stupid, as well as uninformed. You can be nationilistic without being racist. Add to the fact that "American" is NOT a race.

Now anti-spanish is racist as they follow a different line of decent, hence all people who agree with the "anti-american" line posed and dissagrees with Spain's policies now is racist and no doubt sports a large KKK tatoo on their arm.
I'm sorry but what the hell? Can you please explain this in proper English? That paragraph makes no sense.

The people who are criticsing Spain aren't doing so because they are from the Spanish race (are Spaniards Medetrinian? I'm not sure what their race is exactly) they're doing it because they disagree with what Spain is doing. SIMPLE.

And you're a hypocrite. You claim that people who disagree with Spain are calling them names and being racist, yet you're doing something very simillar. You can disagree with what someone is doing, and not be part of the KKK.
