When are we Americans going to wise up? How many times does the French government, led by Jacques Chirac (search), have to put all of us in danger before we get the picture? France is helping worldwide terrorism.
Here's the latest. France has said no to Secretary of State Rice, who asked the Chirac government to designate Hezbollah (search) as a terrorist group. If France would do that, Hezbollah could not raise money in Europe, which it is now doing through various charitable fronts.
There is no question Hezbollah is a terrorist group. It was responsible for killing more than 200 U.S. Marines in Lebanon (search) back in 1983. And since then has murdered thousands of civilians primarily in and around Israel.
The secretary general of Hezbollah, a guy named Hassan Nasrallah, has openly stated that the group's slogan is "death to America." Hezbollah's head of security, a guy named Imad Mugniyah, met at least once with bin Laden and has a $5 million price tag on his head put there by the U.S. government.
Hezbollah is funded and harbored by Iran and Syria. And even the new Palestinian leadership wants them branded a terrorist group because they oppose any peaceful solution vis-a-vis Israel.
Jacques Chirac won't call Hezbollah terrorists. When is enough enough, ladies and gentlemen? When will the American people realize that Chirac and his minions are putting this country and millions of other of people in danger?
So I am again calling for all responsible people not to buy French products, not to travel to France, and to contact the French embassy in Washington, and let them know Chirac's conduct is unacceptable.

It's an AMERICAN made yellow mustard - and VERY good, if you like this kind.
CALICO lighters from Thailand are just as good as bic and cheaper too...
" I've been to Green Bay.
I didn't see anything
like this French morsel . . ."
You better move quick. California is loaded with much more tasty morsels, and they know how to bathe.
I'm a firm believer in doing what you can do. I don't sit back and do nothing just because I can't do it all. I'd have a heck of a time boycotting Saudi oil, or even tracing it to the gas stations I use -- you know that-- but why should that stop me from doing what's right in the smaller ways?
What is "France"? Was it once a country?
This is a pissing match between CNN and OReily.
CNN called to end the boycott, (which corp wants access to france?). OReily,thus fox, calls to continue to punish france.
Who will america listen to?
CNN who?
Renewed call? You mean people stopped???
I don't think you read my post. I do the best I can. I do what I can do. I don't stomp my feet and cry, "Waaa!" because I can't do it all. I don't sit back and ponder whether I should do anything simply because I can't do everything.
I boycott French-made products, but I also do my best not to buy items made in China. And I go out of my way to find American-made products and products made by our allies. I boycott certain singers and actors because they take our money, build a platform with it, and spit on us from that platform. If you find something childish in that, I don't know what to tell you.
A CNN reporter called for the end of the boycott day before yesterday. OReily is just squashing CNN.
ok this is not a boycott as much as an "ignore"
France is being ignored as simply as one would ignore an unimportant fly in a neigboring state.
If it was waterman, theu USED to be french owned.
The company started in the USA, was bough by the french, THEN was sold to the Sanford company which is owned by rubbermaid in 2001.
Just incase that was the company in question.
Really ? Well, thanks for the Monty Python reference, anyway. I don't think I have much use for Mr O'Reilly (isn't he the guy who got involved in a sexual harassment case recently ? Oh well, to each his own.)
BTW, what on Earth is the Nuclear Freeze Club ?
That's alright. I know a conservababe in Wisconsin who outclasses that "French morsel."
Maybe, maybe not.
Denis Leary once worked with
Sandra Bullock and
he said she smelled bad.
Michael Crichton knows many
Hollywood hotties
and has written that
for their careers they must do
so much grooming that
once they're successful
(or on their own, quiet time)
gorgeous LA girls
make a fashion point
to not bathe or use perfume
like "normal" women.
You can run from France,
but sooner or later the
French way will get you!
I buy all my cheese in Mexico, where they really understand what cheese is supposed to taste like.
All american cheese is bland. It is because we don't really care about cheese here. It is just something that is added to other things.
Chris's tone is a wee bit caustic for a newbie.
