Actually, anti-British.

OK hating Bush is one thing but you don't show the American flag charred and tattered and then claim the statement is not Anti-American.

Sinn Fein/IRA has always had a dual-personality when it comes to America. They loved the money and guns, the blind political support for dear ole Oirland. At the same time, their leftist-rhetoric, national-liberation movement solidarity views conflict. What's a poor shinner to do? Well for one thing, remove all of the anti-American literature from the racks in SF's HQ when NORAID and their bags 'o American cash come rolling up the Falls. SF/PIRA are 100% anti-American Imperialism, just don't tell that to the Americans passing around the can.
