I actually saw a "Freedom Fries" vendor this weekend

[Orrex]

I took a picture and will post it later, if anyone's interested.

But I didn't think that the post-9/11 anti-French vibe still had any momentum. Of course, it was a stand at a tractor show here in rural western Pennsylvania, so I suppose that I shouldn't be entirely surprised, considering how the region voted in the past two presidential elections.

1. O. M. F. G.

Still?! :eyes:

2. Some people are dumber than a box of rocks

In fact, in a choice between most of them and the box of rocks, I'd take the rocks. At least you could find a use for them.

[TheMightyFavog]

6. Please don's insult rocks and the boxes they come in.

End of Line.

[MysticalChicken]

18. I must quote

"...Rocks are useful to society. You use them to build bridges and to throw at people who wear those tiny clip-on phones on their head. Seriously, it's... a phone." (makes phone gesture with thumb and forefinger) "Ya can't do this?" - Dr Cox from Scrubs (I haven't seen that episode in a while so the quote may be off but it's close enough)

3. I'm sure they don't realize that the guy who came up with "freedom fries"

thinks the war is a colossal fuck-up now and thinks the troops should come home.

4. Someone I know has a "Boycott France" bumper sticker...

and I see the same bumper sticker on the vehicles of plenty of people I don't know.

Still seems to be a fairly common sentiment around here.

[kay1864]

8. What's amazing about those bumper stickers is

Freepers like them wouldn't have bought anything French anyway. Kraft Singles cheese product and Gallo, not Brie and Champagne.

[LSK]

5. I'd believe it

Still lots of kool-aid drinkers out there.

[Deja Q]

7. Didn't another DUer post how the US wants to offshore some military jobs to France?

Here it is!

9. I wonder what his profits are like?

I mean, when your target demo is 25% of the population and falling, how good can business be :shrug:

[baldguy]

10. How many freedoms did they kill for one order of fries?

[billyskank]

11. That "surrender monkey" thing was the most ill-informed piece of racist shit ever.

As if what happened in the fucking 1930s must define Everything for Evermore!

Apart from the last century, my country has been at war with France for pretty much the whole time, give or take. It's what England and France traditionally used to do, when England weren't fighting with Scotland, at least (and France usually stoking it and/or helping the Scots). How can you call a country with a history like that "surrender monkeys?" Only an idiot with not even the slightest bit of knowledge.

Sorry, but. :grr: I'm not even French but I'm annoyed.

[Pendrench]

12. I agree...in fact, using that logic, shouldn't the people who currently live in the states that

fought for the South during the US Civil War be considered "surrender monkeys"?

Doesn't make sense to me.

13. And maybe somebody should remind them where the Statue of Liberty came from.

Gift from France, I believe.

[Left Is Write]

14. When I was a kid, we used to play French and English...

sort of like Capture The Flag.

[Danger Mouse]

21. The french were ill-prepared for the German blitz and were crushed utterly.

The English barely escaped at Dunkirk, and would've been doomed if Hitler had followed through with Operation Sealion and hadn't been dumb enough to attack Russia.
It's so easy for stupid Americans with no knowledge of history to mindlessly bleat platitudes that they read in shitrags like the New York Post. I, for one, don't want trogolodytes of that caliber anywhere near me.
Read a fucking book before you hoot about the 'surrender monkies.' I'm sure if your mulleted, lily-white pasty ass was facing the german blitz, you would've shat yourself and begged for your pititful life quicker than you can say 'I'm a fucking chickenshit coward.'
Chickenhawks make me want to :puke:

15. Did you give him/her a registration form for the military,

so they can go defend this country?

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

16. I'm anyone, and I'm interested. Please post it. -nt

[Orrex]

20. Here you go!

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

26. Is that a log cabin to the left?

Any Republicans in it perchance?

[MysticalChicken]

17. That whole "substitute 'freedom' for 'French'" thing was just ridiculous.

And more so with French fries, because they're not even from France! They're called that because they're "Frenched" which means to cut into long strips. (Or should that be "Freedomed?")

I refuse to say "freedom" in lieu of "French." It's just ... so fucking ridiculous.

[LynneSin]

19. I took WillPitt & GOPisEvil to a Freedom Fries vendor

In fact it was this place:

Of course when I took Will & GOP it was before the "English Only" incident but we did see the freedom fries

[Danger Mouse]

22. I can't believe that shit.

:eyes:

[Seashell Eyes]

23. Me too, but not today.

I saw it on a menu two years ago in Ellijay, Georgia. My family called the place "republican barbecue" because the whole place was decorated with various republican stuff including pictures of the owner at the convention and a life-size cardboard cutout of Bush.

[Mojambo]

24. I like that they're sticking to their guns on "Freedom Fries."

America needs "Freedom Fries."

America needs a constant reminder of her capacity for jingoism. I can't think of a better symbol.

Viva la Freedom Fries!

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

27. In all fairness, it's likely the owner of the stand has thought of losing the "Freedom Fries" signs

but doesn't want to shell out the money.

[dembotoz]

25. did the fries come from china?

wonder how much of the booth came from distant lands.
Also what are freedom fries
we all know the basic contents of a french fry
but freedom fry is an unkown.
can anyone say Solyent Green?

[krispos42]

28. I liked my Freedom Fries with Freedom Dressing...

and a squirt of Freedom's Mustard on the side. I usually have them with a cheesesteak sandwich on Freedom Bread. After dinner, I play my Freedom Horn for a while until the food's settled, then I Freedom-Kiss the wifey, slip on a Freedom Tickler, and take her on a ride!

In the morning she makes me Freedom Toast in bed, which often times leads to the application of maple syrup and another Freedom Tickler!

:evilgrin:
