Today, two more French soldiers were killed in A-stan. The Taliban and the anti-French Americans are rejoicing.

Miquelon is anti-American now ?
What a load of BS.

Americans routinely “joking” about the French being cowards, smelly etc is A- OK but French people taking offense at being called cowards (practically on a daily freaking basis) is for some reason anti-Americanism now ?

Once again the French-haters and their ilk show us what a bunch of hypocritical morons they really are with a God complex to boot.
Apparently, they feel entitled to shit on anybody with total impunity but cry bloody murder if we dare do the same thing in return.

I listened to your podcast, AtheistNation, and what you did was pretty lame. All you did was rehash crappy old stereotypes and jokes to pick on a guy who wasn’t even there to answer back. Miquelon certainly isn’t anti-American, and yet that’s what you were basically pushing for the first five minutes. Why don’t you grow a pair and invite him over to your show?

Yes I am bashing them in my podcast as well. Not in any serious way though. Glen Beck is serious. I, as always, was fuckin’ around. Hope to have Miquelon on the show this week. Oh and sorry about the accent, no one should have to suffer through that. (@atheistNation)

We've inspired Incessant Ranting's latest podcast, available via iTunes. Worst faux-French accent ever, somewhere between Borat and Jackie Mason.

The apology about Henry is to initiate dialog. I’ve notice, with the Irish (of which I am a member of diaspora) – that there are ten times more sincere apologies than from Americans.

The “surrender meme” has been transported accross the entire “anglosphere”, from the US to Britain, to South Africa and now Ireland. The “long tail” I often refer to is not only long – but wide.

I see there’s been a lot of twitter and otherwise hate lately.
No matter what the circumstances are, a handball at a football game shouldn’t be enough to warrant this much hate.
Don’t be so apologetic about it, miquelon.

The people who insult us over this are the same people who insult us over pretty much anything anyway.
Francophobia is a real disease among English-speaking countries.
That is the real disgrace here.

Barney: I have no idea what causes some of your contributors anglophobia. But I will try and guess.

You have answered your own question in your little rant below.
But not in the way you’re thinking.

Barney: I have no idea what causes some of your contributors anglophobia. But I will try and guess.
Is it the fact that thousands of British and Commonwealth soldiers lost their lives liberating France?
Is is the fact that we sheltered the “Free French” leader De Gaulle in London during the war only for him to later veto our membership of the EU?
Is it because we lost one million troops in the first world war fighting in France, on France’s side?
Is it because we were not defeated by Napoleon?
Who knows? But the roots of anglophobia lay deep. In fact, they probably date back to 1338 when Philip VI of France issued the Ordinance of Normandy which called for a second Norman conquest to “destroy and eliminate the entire nation and the English language”.

As for those with supposed ”celtic” ancestry – I imagine they are clinging to some kind of notion of victimhood, initially based on readings of history that have been more or less been disproved, i.e. the angles and saxons wiped out the Britons, etc. This has now been proved as incorrect. How could 200,000 angles, saxons and jutes wipe out 3-4 million britons?
It has also now been shown by recent DNA testing in the British Isles that the whole “celtic” thing is more complicated than initially thought. In fact, parts of England are just as “celtic” as southern Scotland and the dominant DNA in the Welsh and Irish is pre-celtic rather than Celtic.
So England is just as much a celtic country as Scotland or Ireland.
It should be remembered that it was the Norman (or French, according to some people here) kings who first invaded Ireland not the “Saxons”. But I suppose that won’t stop inane comments about how “evil” the saxons were to the “Celts”

Pour notre “ami” Indrid Cold, qui a tant d’humour,

Question: Combien de avocats sont mort en 9/11?
Reponse: Pas assez.
Question: Pourquoi la marine naval US a Pearl harbor ont ils des vitrines dans les coques de leurs navires?
Reponse: Pour mieux voir les navires de l’ancien marine naval US a Pearl Harbor.

Allons, nous allons tous rigoler ensembles.

Question: Combien faut-il d’américains dans un avion pour arrêter une poignée de musulmans armés de…cutters ?
Réponse: Personne ne sait, ils n’ont jamais essayé !

Question: Combien faut-il d’américains pour défendre un gratte ciel ?
Réponse: Personne ne sait, ils n’ont jamais essayé !

You don’t have to dig very deep on this site to find anti-English sentiment do you?

Any guess as to what might have caused this anti-English sentiment ? Think wisely.

Indrid, vos blagues sentent le réchauffé. La 1e fut d’ailleurs racontée par un membre du Congrès américain, un certain Roy Blount qui a eu le culot de se présenter à une soirée à l’honneur du président Sarkozy quelques années plus tard. Un hypocrite de première classe dirons nous.

La seconde blague est fort connue, elle aussi date de la campagne anti-française de 2003 et montre à quel point certains manque de respect à la mémoire. Qu’importe, nous sommes dans un monde d’éternel comiques …
