GOD I HATE THE FRENCH! They are the most disgusting Smelly EUROWEENIES on the face of the earth. I don't know why the media is so hung up on what they think.

[CanadianFella]

les maudits esti criss de tabarnaque Francais se pensent trop, calisse! </ french-canadian slang off>

[Clara Lou]

Don't hate the French. Just disregard them.

I actually turned down 2 FREE tickets for a trip to France this month - my folks were paying for a FREE vacation to France - all expenses paid for 2. Spouse and I said: "thanks, but no thanks". We'd rather visit Iceland. Or Thule Greenland -- or just about anywhere than a place where pseudo intellectuals with a thimble full of courage meet.

The French have short memories. They are free today because of the United States. And they smell bad too!

A mannequin representing an American soldier is permanently suspended from the church spire in memory of Private John Steele of the 82nd Airborne Division, whose parachute became entangled with the roof.

The 82nd Airborne's Museum Photo section has a couple of pictures of a model of the church.

There's a well-known part of the movie 'The Longest Day' when Steele's chute is caught on a steeple and he watches his comrades killed by the Nazis.

Eurosnots.

My grandparents (who were extremely conservative) came to the U.S. from France. Even they claimed that France was a cesspool. lol.

It also prompted one of the biggest security operations France has ever mounted for one man, and contrasted starkly with Mr Bush's warm reception in Russia.

Interesting.

In another post the number of protestors was 1500. Out numbered by the other public citizens that were going on about their business of living, smiling and waving at the US President's caravan as it past through Paris. There are scum Socialists everywhere, not just in France.

Who cares what French intellectuals think? They're all living off the products of intellectuals dead for a century or more.

[Morgan's Raider]

I hold the hate-mongering, demonizing democrat party and their compliant lapdogs in the U.S. media directly responsible for the world's misconception of a good and decent man.

As for the French, sprechen sie Deutsche?

[piasa]

I think what is annoying the psuedo-intellectual left, is that their own base is slipping. They used to be able to turn out many more protesters back when Reagan was president.

[Paul Atreides]

Personally, I am willing to let them have the Clintons, whom they so dearly love. Let him go over there and be their next Napoleon.

[cornelis]

I don't know why the media is so hung up on what they think.

JFYI, because their propaganda is effectual in perpetuating your sentiment of hatred.

[areafiftyone]

Oh I thought it was the stench! ;-)

[MoJo2001]

Are there any EU countries that Mocha doesn't hate?? Absolutely not!! God Bless our Grandparents for stepping up to save their sorry butts. I wonder what they were thinking. Anyways, the world needs not worry about America starting WWIII. Just look at those sorry Europeans to start the next one again. It's degenerative breeding that causes them to start wars and then not finish. UGH!

For all Freepers who are Europeans, I'm sorry. You obviously have about a light years step ahead of the rest of the Continent!

[cornelis]

They press never mentions that. It's chauvenism to incite the masses.

[Mike Darancette]

And how many Frenchmen will be visiting US beaches this Weekend to celebrate the French Dead that gave their lives for American Freedom.

Less than 60 years ago these scum were selling their sisters for a cigarette and a Hershey bar. It isn't only in America where History is not studied.
