Barney,

what you said is still wrong. Bashing back is not the answer, and bashing back at whom exactly? Americans? Most Americans are not involved in any sort of french bashing, so you are making yourself worse. You are also angering Americans who do not French bash and who may turn against you.

Actions? concerning me? I have nothing to do with the people who have bashed the French and will coninue to call out those who generalize and bring out their frustration on America.

‘ singled you out because you were doing what you were complaining the Americans were doing to the French.’

Sometimes, bashing back is the only thing left to do…We did not start this thing.
The “anti-Americanism” you think you perceive from some contributors here is the result of years and years of extremely offensive comments about French cowardice in the American media and on the Internet.
I do not condone this attitude but there comes a time when you need to take responsibility for your actions and suffer the consequences.

Debate has its’ place. This blog is debating the environment where some Brits and some Americans make what we believe to be false statements. Concurrantely, this blog should support the defense of all peoples against unwarrented insult. It is important to defend France AND America (maybe even the English) from falsehood. The key to civilized and worthy defense is to not be personnal. Only address the issue, not the person. There is a lot of intelligence displayed on this blog and we should respect what each contributor brings to each issue.
There, I got that off my chest. Thank you.

If your argument with another poster becomes heated, remember: agree to disagree. Do not resort to personal attacks, and do not belittle someone else’s argument. Instead of making it personal, use reason and persuasive skills to make your point or criticize theirs.
All comments must be intelligent and civil. Miquelon.org, which is a private project, welcomes debate and does not “censor”. It does, however, remove or modify comments that are ill-tempered or do not contribute to civil discourse, or contain materials deemed inappropriate. If your comment is removed or modified, and you attempt to post it or something similar again, your IP will be banned.

#23

How is Hillgbloger doing more harm than good ? People have tried to be nice and explain politely how offensive the coward stereotype is to the French. Sadly being nice doesn’t work.
You’re angry ? How do you think we feel ?

FrancisK (21), The sacrifice of those who struggle to keep democracy and freedom should not, and will not, be forgotten. It is a terrible loss when one thinks about the loss of a full life such as your uncles’ life. We all lose, and have lost, when we lose great people in their youth.

Miquelon #15 – I’ve tried to find it in Fox’s archives (saw your post) but no success. All I can remember is that the guest in question is an actor who’s played mafia roles on TV (as I recall Hannity saying). Sorry. Coincidentally, I was speaking to someone yesterday who, despite his “knowledge” of WW2, had no clue 110,000 French soldiers died in 1939-40. My uncle was a POW in 1939, escaped from prison and re-captured in Grenoble. He was sent to Buchenwald and never returned. He was 21. Thanks for your hard work and not letting the memory of the French soldiers and civilians be forgotten.

FrancisK 7, sorry I scoured the web, even posted on Hannity’s blog but I can’t even find the lineup of guests for his Great American Panel. LexisNexis does not have anything public available at this point.

You have great courage watching fox news. When I have the guts to watch, my eyes begin to roll after six minutes and I start turning ill in ten.

Hmm. Smells like something Dennis Miller would have said. Let’s investigate !
