It is disingenuous, and more than disingenuous, to conflate accusing the entire American government of a vast conspiracy to commit mass murder in New York and blame it on Arab terrorists for war-mongering purposes, with merely "accusing officials of doing something wrong" in a democratic fashion. It's certainly greater in degree. It's a scurrilous charge, way over the top. But it's not different in kind. Accusing an element of the government with mass murder is "accusing officials of doing something wrong" and speaking out about it is part of "democratic fashion." If you are outraged by it, I can understand that. But anti-American is defined by it's target, not its degree of outrage.
