Anti-gay, anti-Islam Bardot to be sued
David Hearst and Paul Webster in Paris Thursday May 15, 2003 The Guardian
It takes a lot for the French to lose patience with their ageing stars, and Brigitte Bardot, an unabashed fan of the National Front leader, Jean-Marie Le Pen, was given a lot of rope. Yesterday the free ride for her tirades against the decadence of modern society ended after two anti-racist and human rights movements announced they would take the 68-year-old to court.
Her latest outburst, a book called Un Cri Dans Le Silence, attacks Islam, gays, the unemployed, teachers and illegal immigrants, and calls for a return of the guillotine.
She says that gays are fairground freaks, teachers arrive at work with greasy hair wearing disgusting jeans and muddy trainers, and that "the professional unemployed" don't even want to work illegally.
She rails against what she claims is the "Islamisation of France", and after a lifelong campaign against the death penalty, she says the guillotine should be brought back for those who murder children.
The Movement Against Racism And For The Friendship of Peoples (MRAP) and the League of Human Rights said yesterday they would sue her. Mouloud Aounit, the president of MRAP, said: "We expect justice to hit her hard. We need a ruling which will dissuade and prevent her from making further outbursts."
The former film star, who once shook middle-class moralists with her libertine lifestyle, said it had been her intention to shock by "saying out loud what people think to themselves" - a phrase invented by Mr Le Pen.
Ms Bardot, who is married to a National Front executive, Bernard d'Ormale, was last interviewed by Paris Match, at her seaside villa in St Tropez and the nearby farmhouse.
She claimed that it was while driving between the two houses on her way to feed the goats that she realised that "the intrinsic and fundamental values of mankind no longer existed".

Probably the last French leader worthy of any respect was Talleyrand, and the only for his amazing ability to betray everyone, behave with consumate duplicity, and remain in power from the
ancien regime through the Revolution, the Empire and on into the Bourbon Restoration.
The last honest French leader was probably Louis IX.

Thanks for the pic.
It brings back good memories.
I imagine though, that BB must be getting pretty long in the tooth by now.
I'd really hate to see a newer pic.
She might be as crusty and ragged as Helen Thomas.
That'd give me nightmares instead of pleasant dreams.

If you follow my link above to the amazon.fr entry for Bardot's book, you'll see that the cover of the book (illustrated there) has a picture of Bardot now. She is still a very good-looking lady.

"We expect justice to hit her hard. We need a ruling which will dissuade and prevent her from making further outbursts."Translation: she does not agree with our Islamophile, tyrant-loving, terrorist-appeasing (that includes the political terrorism of special interest groups) government, she doesn't like the influx of our illegal, non-working, Islamist-terrorist friends, and SHE DOESN'T LOVE JAQUES! Therefore we will forcably silence the b*tch.
The French are such a TOLORANT bunch. There's no right to free speech in France, and Bardot has my sympathy. They might even bring back the guillotine just this once...just for her. When do the book burnings for Un Cri Dans Le Silence begin? Of has the burning commenced already?

"The US did not like his conservative views, and supported Chirac?"The US did not have anything to do with the French election. I don't recall President Bush making campaign speeches for Chiraq, a la Clinton.

I wish for people to drop this Hitler comparison. Hitler was a uniquely evil dude. They broke the mold after him!

"She reminds me of Tippi Hendren who similarly turned from a Hollywood value-less society to working for more meaningful causes"Tippi Hendren?? She's one of those who got into serious problems when the full grown tiger she was keeping as a housepet mauled a child.

Personally, I respect her having the strength to air a non-PC viewpoint. I wish her luck and hope she emerges victorious from this lawsuit. If I weren't supporting her views, I wouldn't have made the comment about those she does not agree with trying to forcibly silence her.
As for President Bush, if destroying a dictatorship is love and appeasement, the world could do with more of it

I think you'd have to go back to Louis XIV to find a Frenchman in a leadership position 'who has any redeeming qualities'.
He made some good chairs.

Ooh, la la!!
She was my boyhood dreamgirl, also. ;^)
She's aged well.
