1. Next time you come across a freeper that hates the French,

Ask them if we should tear down the Statue of Liberty (it was a gift from France remember)
and see what they say.

class, breeding and sophistication, foreign concepts to some: makes 'em itch between the-----.

6. The Creepublicans don't think the French were right.

Their fearful leader has told them repeatedly, endlessly, that Saddam had ties to Al Qaeda, threatened us with weapons of mass destruction, anthrax, bird flu and maybe even secretly funded Ed McMahon and the Publisher's Clearing House. Of course the facts disprove all those things (except maybe the part about Ed), but hard-line psychos and other freeper-types won't bother to let the truth stand in the way of a good hatin'

8. the Neo-Whigs hate anyone who speaks something other than English

Edited on Wed Mar-15-06 09:11 PM by RGBolen

Sadly I think the Neo-Whigs on the left feel the same way, quite a few "you're in America now, learn English" threads here on DU as well.

9. Because extremely stupid people are also extremely stubborn.

Haven't you noticed that?

10. They think it's funny..

If you asked one to deconstruct their "hatred" .. it's just "funny" to hate the French. (I think there is some hard-nursed resentment in some corners about the beaches of Normandy, but mostly it's just ignorance and bigotry, their usual stuff)

11. Weak, stupid and scared people will obligingly hate

anyone who they're given permission to hate.

Unanswered hate has a nasty habit of turning violent.

This is what scares me most about this country, wingnuts feeling righeous in their hatred going postal on groups of strangers because they "look" like liberals.

It could happen.

15. FRENCH FRIES FRENCH TOAST FRENCH BREAD

There is said it!!!

Saying those three words to a wingnut is the same as holding up a cross to a vampire.

Therefore I repeat them often :toast:

16. Jingoistic knuckledraggers with no clue about history

That's the short answer.

What's truly irksome is the way the RW politicians play to that audience, continually feeding them the lie that we (the murkin people) are the only brave, honest, true, manly nation. Well, you know, either with us or against us. Our so-called leaders continually bring the level of discourse down, so there is no thought to it, just propaganda.

It's also discouraging how French-bashing gets picked up as un-funny "jokes" by otherwise intelligent people.

Feh.

17. They're pissed that France won't just bend over

and be Bush's political sex slave like Britain. They can't stand anyone who disobeys the Dark Lord.

18. France has been just as bad as the U.S. and the U.K. as far as

colonialism goes. They have a very bad track record and also participated in the latest gang rape of Haiti. The only problem the freepers have with France is that they are a competitor on the theft of resources of the global south.

but I wasn't sure if it was a joke or serious.

I laughed. :shrug:
