Hey, its all opinion. If you have the freedom to criticize just about everything American, others have the right to call you un-American if they so choose.
Its like the whole Dixie Chicks debacle. Everyone is screaming about how their first amendment rights are being trampled because of boycotts. Ummm... NO. The first amendment only refers to government censorship. If groups of like-minded people or privately owned radio stations wish to boycott a group for their political views, they are excercising THEIR first amendments rights just as the Dixie Chicks did when criticizing the president. It is just as valid a political statement. To hail the Dixie Chicks for excercising their rights and then say they are being censored by those ezxcercising theirs is silly.
Besides, the Dixie Chicks are a COUNTRY GROUP. They must be either inbred or retarded to criticize a texan president... What, they DIDN'T think people would react that way? Their fan base have gun racks and chew terbackee!
