I've heard enough of this anti-american talk, and it sure smells like propaganda. The huge majority of europeans have nothing against the american people. Please, do not propagate these claims.

  Do you really need a source that most people don't hate other people?

    America the land-mass and US citizens, of course people don't hate us. America the political entity represented on the world stage by our government, oh yeah people are pissed.

    Do you really need a source that people motivated by arrogance and greed are repulsive to everyone else?

    Is there something wrong with asking for a source? When they call the other person's claim propaganda and are trying to state their own as fact, they should be able to back it up with something. I'm not going to blindly take something like that as fact, especially considering recent (but also historical) events. (Might also not be relevant but I will clarify anyway: I am not American)

  Is there a source for a counter claim that there is a majority (or large minority, if you are only contending the "huge" part) of Europeans who have something against the American people? Note that even running a survey with "negative" question would bias the results in that direction (eg. difference between "how do you rate this?" and "what is bad about this?")

      I am highlighting the imbalance of your request. The poster you asked for proof was countering anecdotal claim with their own — why did you not join them in asking for the proof first? Anyway, this is all rhetorical — as I said, just pointing out that you are not being fair to the poster you replied to, because if you were, you would have asked exactly what you asked here: "is there any source for any of these claims either way?"

  A little weird to ask the GP for a source without also asking the GGP for one. Both claims are unsupported.

    Why ask both when I can ask one? If one gives me a source for their claim, it'd disprove the other. And yes, both claims are unsupported, I definitely agree.
