"Born In The USA" is not a pro-american song, it's pro-veteran. Just a for instance. Doesn't make him un-American.

...but wouldn't that be pro-American veterans?

It means someone who is from Unamerica, a vast global communist empire that doesn't speak American and hates freedom. Main exports include: Drugs, Atheism, Social upheaval, drugs, SWEET Sweet Oil!, PLAYSTATION 3, Nintendo, Coffee, and Soccer.

Like the Unabomber

As the term was originally coined in the '50s it meant subverting American freedom as a license to support commies and bring communism to the USA.

With communism being passe it means people who are more interested in pleasing spineless Euroweenies or terrorist organizations and regimes than "doing the right thing" when it comes to deposing a brutal dictator, etc.

Taken outside the cold war context, it's just a moronic way of saying anti-American.

You'll be happy to know Berz that your hero Bill doesn't think Bruce hates America. He just thinks that about Sean Penn though.

It makes me wonder about the poor interns at the Daily Show who are forced to watch Fox 24/7 just to find the best clips for mocking on the show. I'd stick my dick in a light socket over taking that job.

I remember a few years ago,
when it was rather common among "patriotic" people to brand all protesters to the iraq war as unpatriotic and unamerican, I think the Dixie chicks are a prominent example for "unamerican" musicians in these days.

It's important to keep an eye on what Fox News is saying, as it is accepted immediately as canon by unthinking neocons and religious fundies here.

When you say "doing the right thing," do you mean deposing them like we did with Saddam or arming them and sending them at people we don't like like we did with Saddam?

Since we're busy figuring out what unamerican means, this guy (the one shaking hands with Saddam) looks pretty unamerican:

Un-American? That's Donald Rumsfeld (greatest Secretary of Defense in American history) shaking hands with Hollywood actor Walter Matthau. How could shaking hands with a man who played Mr. Wilson in Dennis the Menace be considered un-American?
