Madonna thanks France for opposition to Iraq war
Ananova ^ | May 8, 2003 | Associated Press

Posted on 05/08/2003 12:39:41 PM PDT by frosty snowman

Madonna has thanked France for its opposition to the Iraqi war, during a private performance for 200 guests of a radio station in Paris.

Dressed in a low-cut black top and black glittery trousers, she performed the title track to her album, American Life.

The exclusive event, held at the city's Nobel restaurant, lasted 40 minutes.

But for those not invited to the venue, the concert was broadcast by the radio station live over the internet and to nine European countries.

As she thanked the French for opposing conflict in Iraq, she told fans: "Here in France I feel at home."

When are Alec Baldwin and Barbra moving to France? They should take along Madonna.

If people let her get away with this, we all need to apologize to the Dixie Chicks.

Smart move on her part. Since she cannot sell her album in the states, she's going for the French market.

I wonder, did she thank France for helping the buthcers escape.

Maybe she would like to live with one or more of them.
I think Uday would LOVE her!

So, she has finally gotten tired of ticking off the British and has now decided to make France her home.

Well, France and that slut deserve each other.

Her latest album has taken a nose dive by more than 60%.

...and this was BEFORE this remark...

What I find amusingly satisfying is that the Big Stahhhhr has been reduced to singing in record stores and at radio events in order to gin up some interest in her fetid album.

In no time at all, she should be doing Nostalgia Tours in small clubs throughout the Northeast and Midwest. :)

Doubtful that there will be a radio station in the US that would play her records again. Definitely not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

As she thanked the French for opposing conflict in Iraq, she told fans: "Here in France I feel at home.

In the American Cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer, near Omaha Beach in France, the bodies of 10,000 Americans are buried beneath crosses and Stars of David. These young men died saving the world from a tyrant named Adolf Hitler, whom nearly all of the French, for their own cowardly and hateful reasons, either passively appeased or actively supported

The French traitors Petain and Laval, the leaders of the collaborationist Vichy regime (June 1940)(Both were tried as traitors after the war; Laval was shot to death and Petain imprisoned for life)

French Nazis enthusiastically welcomed the German Nazis into France (June 1940)

Petain greets Hitler as the swastika is unfurled over France. The first to use the word "collaboration" as a synonym for his treason, Petain looked forward to a France controlled by Germany in a "new Europe."

Laval "collaborated" with the head of the dreaded SS in France

The French participated enthusiastically in the Holocaust. (The identity card of Berthe Levy Cahan, 37, stamped "Juif" (Jew) by the Lyon gendarmie)

A French Jew holding his identity papers is searched by a French policeman. (The French joyously rounded up and sent 80,000 French Jews to the Nazi death camps)

Unburned bodies at the Buchenwald death camp, to which many French Jews were sent

Now, a half-century later, the French are again anxious to appease and support a tyrant. This time, it is Saddam Hussein.

The dead Americans, buried in French soil, have no meaning to the French, 91% of whom were against President Bush's plans to eradicate Hussein from Iraq.

Like Germany and Russia, France has billions of dollars tied up in deadly Iraqi military investments.

It was the French who built Saddam Hussein's nuclear bomb-making factory at Osirak despite the fact that its name — Tammuz 17, the date of Jerusalem's destruction by the ancient Babylonians — clearly indicated Iraq's genocidal plans for the terrorist facility.

Friends of France (February 20, 2003)(Chirac greets the tyrants of various African "nations," including Zimbabwe's murderous Robert Mugabe)

Iran's terrorist tyrant Mohammed Khatami gets the red carpet treatment from Chirac (October 1999)

Chirac defiles the American Cemetery with his presence (May 2002)

Q: What do you call a Frenchman on his way to Iran or Iraq?
A: An arms dealer!

An American college student traveling in France was told that if she were to face any threat of violence in France, she should say she is Canadian rather than American. The hatred for Americans runs deep in the French.

If the Americans wish to have the French as allies, all they need do is invade France. The French will lie down like the cowards they are.

Americans are urged to boycott all French products, to refrain from visiting France for business or pleasure and to spread the word that the French are not worth the dust on an American boot.

Madonna made a big deal about England being her home of choice. That was before Tony Blair allied himself with President Bush. Now, the Whore Laureate of the world must hitch her star somewhere else. I also wouldn't doubt that she is wanting to create a Dixie Chicks style controversy to keep her name, and her album, in the papers.

I am a Madonna fan. I have every CD she's made- except her latest. I heard some of the tracks and they are horrible.

Since you're a former DJ, am I wrong? Will they drop her from the play list?
