Boy you Frogs, the insults never end. If you’re not loading Jews into box cars, you’re pissing on the people trying to stop you. I liked it better when Chirac was president of France - a pussy like him adequately reflected the French character of the populace. You’ve got Sarkozy as the President, a guy that kicks ass on Islamofascists and bangs supermodels. Let me tell you, he’s not a normal Frenchman.

Somebody doesn't like Churchill ~ a neo-Nazi perhaps?!
Well, UK does have it's share of skinheads.
For those who don't know about Rudolf Hess he wasn't speaking for Hitler when he tried to escape from Germany ~ and he was imprisoned for life on account of his responsibility for STARTING THE WAR. He was, so to speak, a well-known war criminal. He was spared from death.

Churchill would probably get a good laugh, no?

He was a bad man for refusing to surrender Great Britain.
And of course some of the French will never forgive hiim for plotting with America to throw the out their beloved Nazi overlords.

Ever get the feeling we would have been better off if we let the Germans keep France?
To: domenad
Remember, France continues to have neo-Nazis but just because they’ve tried to take credit for this action, you gotta’ take a look at how the writer put the story together. It is not altogether clear that the writer disagrees with his informants regarding Churchill ~ and alas, he’s entirely too ready to let the blame fall on disaffected French neo-Nazis and not on the whole European neo-Nazi movement (which includes Brits, French, Germans, Poles, Ukrainians, etc.) ~ and then there’s the now native Islamofascist movement and they have their own list of complaints against Churchill.

That’s because he’s Hungarian.

No great French leader ever was... Napoleon I was Italian.
Maybe they ruined Churchill's statue because he said ‘DeGaulle is a disgrace’. (And he was right)

That is because Sarko is of Hungarian descent. French can only succeed under non French leaders. Napoleon was corsican.

The frogs are facing a more hideous threat now. Surely, they will never be gracious for their liberation from the Nazi's. Now, they will become, or have become, an Islamic State and can, or will not, do anything to stop it!

Just to be fair, over 500,000 French members of the resistance were horribly tortured and killed by the Nazis.
Not all French are like these kooks.

Well, maybe Obama can give the French the statue of Churchhill that Obama kicked out of the White House?

Churchill: Still giving leftists hell after a generation.
Can you think of a greater legacy?
Godspeed, sir!

Some in France view Churchill as a war criminal himself because of his decision to scuttle the Vichy French fleet in Tunisia rather than let it fall into the hands of Third Reich forces.
Moron reporter and idiot editor alert.
1) You can't scuttle someone else’s fleet - you sink it.
2) Oran is nowhere near Tunisia.

This reminds me of an article in "The Onion," from years ago, titled something along the lines of "US Secretary of State apologizes for liberating France," where Colin Powel said, "What were we thinking?"
It was the funniest thing I had ever read in The Onion.

For sale: French battle rifles. Never fired, and only dropped once.
Why do they grow trees along the Champs Elyse? So that German soldiers can march in the shade.
Who says the French can't win a war... They did beat Greenpeace!
