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.
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.
/sarcasm off/
Ever get the feeling we would have been better off if we let the Germans keep France?
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.
Can you think of a greater legacy?
Godspeed, sir!
disgusting, unappreciative loons
1) You can't scuttle someone else’s fleet - you sink it.
2) Oran is nowhere near Tunisia.
It was the funniest thing I had ever read in The Onion.

Calling the entire French people nazis because one guy defaced Winnie’s staute is similar to calling all Americans nazis because of Pat Buchanan’s editorials.
I suppose this was better.
Frenchman: "Non!"
Englishman/American: "You're WELCOME!"
An estimated 10,000 French civilians were killed by allied shelling, bombing, and ground combat operations during the Allied invasion of Normandy. The French civilians at that time and place realized that civilian casualties were unavoidable if France and western Europe was to be liberated from the cruel Nazi occupation that had dragged on for over 4 years by then.
When American vets of that invasion held a reunion in Normandy a few years ago they were treated like the heroes they are by the French people of that region who remembered what hell on earth had been like under Hitler's Gestapo and SS troops, and who it was who freed them and their parents from that reign of terror at the cost of many thousands of Allied lives as well as thousands of French civilian's lives. If the person(s) who defaced Churchill's statue had lived under Nazi occupation for four long years of terror, arrests, torture, and executions of civilians by inhuman Nazi occupiers I doubt that he, or they if more than one, would have defaced a memorial dedicated to a great man who was instrumental in freeing them and all of France from the demented monster in Berlin.
If the French had not sold out Czechoslovakia, they could have avoided the entire Second World War.
And if they didn’t have ancient and incompetent generals leading their army, they might have avoided defeat at the hands of the Wehrmacht.
“Instead, Churchill had him thrown in prison in 1941, and the war continued for a further four years.”
Good Lord, what a bowdlerization of history this is! The goofy Hess thought he could end the war single-handedly. The British didn’t take him the least bit seriously, and they were right. Hitler was furious at what Hess had done. If anyone thinks the war continued because of the British putting Hess in jail, I suggest they may be suffering from the same delusion Hess was.
Ummmm.... Don’t forget that the Brits sank the French fleet at Mers-el-Kebir after the fall of France in 1940; 1297 French officers and sailors were killed.
There might be some connection there.
There were two frenchmen in the resistance. Everyone else worked for the NAZI’s. I say we just France back to the Germans.
