Yes but they weren't callled unamerican. That was my point. Yes people railed against the absurdity of the comments, and even the hate it betrays towards certain minorities. But there was very little talk about it being hateful towards the country, and anti patriotic. Compare that to the outcome of Wright, and you see first and foremost a question of patriotism, a hate for america, and only sometimes a logical counter argument to the pastor's comments. This is the exact opposite response.
