I think it is pretty implicit in things like siding with hostile foreign powers and wanting to break the country up. Those are particularly radical things that verge toward treason or severely impacting US national security. A bit different from speaking out against a tax hike or summat.

Anti-Americanism is dangerous. So it's more than just an epithet even if it can be hard to pin down what it is. I opposed going into Iraq. That could be done reasonably though without rooting for the resistance or cheering the deaths of American servicemen. Politics ends at the water's edge and all that.
