Unfortunately there are uninformed biggots and misguided activists in all quadrants of the political compass.
"Do you really think that it is "understandable" that people would run an American off the road and put crap on his seat for displaying his flag?"
I don't think anyone was implying that this sort of behaviour is acceptable. I think what they meant is that they could understand which emotions led to it: Uninformed biggotry and a misguided desire to make a protest against what may be seen by some as a massive faceless enemy,whether that's motorcyclists, travellers (you'd be surprised by some peoples' reactions to anything that is at odds with their own philosophy of life) or Americans.
