I did address point two and I guess I can tear into you some more for point 3 if you want but I don't see a point.

They're almost folk tunes in their simplicity. I don't see how the songs are much different from some of the stuff Johnny Cash has done. They're very simple acoustic driven songs with no rock elements whatsoever.
Oh and as for Jesus, Etc. it's very country sounding, slowed-down and rootsy. It even has a steel guitar (at least on the live version) and violins, hardly very "rock" instruments.
Finally I'd like to add alternative-country-rock is kind of a stupid term because alt. country is basically country with non-country elements (i.e. rock or in cases like Okkervil River indie-folk) so Wilco having rock elements or being alternative-country-rock is basically the same thing. This is just you showing your typical analism when it comes to genre. None of the Wilco fans here (and there are some huge ones like sweet jane and hookers) have complained about this being here in fact they even think Wilco is alternatve country. You're being ridiculous.
