All this boils down to is that there are folks proud to be American, proud to be who they are and aren't afraid to show it, even if they are a bit "eccentric" and not well informed.
Going TOO far is deadly to a career. E.G. Dixie Chicks. Fine, they don't like Bush. No prob. Speak your mind. But don't take American issues across the pond and whine to the world about it. That's what most people are pissed about. Not their opinion, just the way they went about expressing themselves. America's problems are America's problems, at least that the way it should be and most southern/country folk will agree with that and defend it to their last breath.
