Poll: French see Arafat as hero

Jerusalem Post ^ | Nov. 9, 2004

[Ahriman]

The French regard Yasser Arafat as a hero rather than a terrorist, according to a new poll.

Asked to choose whether the Palestinian Authority chairman is a "hero of national resistance" or a terrorist, 43 percent chose the former and 27% the latter.

Ten percent said Arafat fit into both categories, while 9% said he was neither.

The poll, published Monday and commissioned jointly by the Lib ration newspaper and a national public radio station, also found that three times as many French people hold Prime Minister Ariel Sharon more responsible for Middle East violence than hold Arafat.

In addition, 34% said they had more sympathy for the Palestinians, as opposed to 13% for Israel.

[PilloryHillary]

Guess the French didn't learn anything from Hitler and WWII. I hope we don't save their sorry A$$es the next time they get into trouble.

[DAC22]

Shocking, simply shocking NOT!

[Izzy Dunne]

They see Jerry Lewis as an intellectual, as well.

[VastRWCon]

Your with us or against us.... I have no problem putting them on the Axis of Evil dam girlie men.

[Diogenesis]

France will help ANY terrorist and serial murderer.

France has attacked America -- and served those who attacked Americans.

FLASHBACKS (France attacking America, then and now):

"On February 29, 1704, a party of French and Indian raiders
descended on the Massachusetts village of Deerfield, killing fifty residents and
capturing more than a hundred others. A force of more
than two hundred Frenchmen, Abenakis, Hurons, Kahnawake Mohawks,
Pennacooks, and Iroquois of the Mountain overran
the northwesternmost village of the New England frontier.
The attackers took 112 men, women, and children captive.
The book Captors and Captives: The 1704 French and Indian Raid on Deerfield (Native
Americans of the Northeast) by Evan Haefeli, Kevin Sweeney
follows the raiders and their prisoners on the harsh
three-hundred-mile trek back to Canada and into French and Native communities."

=========== French missiles given to Iraq to be USED Against US and Coalition Heroes =========

French missiles given to Saddam, found by the heroic Poles, and to protect France, blown up.

The Axis of Evil Froggies said they did not say "2003". LOL. Read here and decide for yourself.

Today: France [NOT] "protecting" its people from billionaire
terrorist Yassir and Suha Arafat and their murderous French terrorist helpers in murder before-the-fact.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

And that ladies and gentleman sums up the french for you.

25% of the country is sane and the rest has either lost it or never had it.

[fastattacksailor]

Most Americans see Frenchmen as morons, too!

[tophat9000]

Guess the French didn't learn anything from Hitler and WWII

Sure they did ...collaborated and hand over the jews

[Dog Gone]

This is to be expected. The French get CNN International.

Poll: French See Arafat As Hero

Proudly continuing a French tradition going back more than half a century:

[crazycat]

.....and just when you thought they could sink no lower, down they go.

[EnigmaticAnomaly]

Any nation that, collectively, is afraid of its own shadow WOULD side with such a ruthless murderer. I only hope that, in a dying gesture, Arafat rids the world of Chirac...then dies a painful and agonizing death himself.

[Don Corleone]

If it wasn't for the USA the French would have long ago taken the route of the Passenger Pigeon. (And would have been missed even less)

[Pitiricus]

Libération is a leftist paper... So I would expect this poll to be the Zogby-equivalent of French polls...

Most French outside the elites loath the Arabs (who they call ratons, rats)...

[notfornothing]

"...the heroic Poles..."

Truer words were never written.

[LibertarianInExile]

It always amazes me that CNN International is WORSE than CNN. I go back stateside and wonder if ANY Americans would watch CNN if they knew what dreck that channel is serving up about the U.S. outside the borders.

[SkyPilot]

He has AIDS.

[BenLurkin]

And these are the people who backed Kerrry.

It is really scary that he got as many votes as he did.

[Michael.SF.]

[Dog Gone]

It's like al-Jazeera, and it's usually the only American news outlet available. The other english language broadcast is the BBC, and it's better only in that it isn't 100% devoted to portraying America in a bad light. They deal more with european matters.

CNN International is horribly anti-American and anti-Israeli. What are europeans to think when this is the viewpoint presented by an American news channel?

[Michael.SF.]

Most French outside the elites loath the Arabs (who they call ratons, rats)...

Unfortunately, they seem to like Jews even less then Arabs.

[Pitiricus]

Actually no... They really hate the Arabs...

What you see/hear are the elites, the equivalent of NYC, LA and SF and the MSM here...

But the average French can't stand the Arabs... Jews he envies, Arabs he hates...

[PrtzlLogic]

Not surprising. In other recent polls, the French also named all of the following as "heroes":

1. Charles Manson
2. David Berkowitz
3. Janet Reno
4. Satan
5. "The Noid" from those old Domino's Pizza ads
6. Dr. Evil
7. The Taco Bell Chihuahua
8. Skeletor

and, possibly the most chilling:

9. Teresa Heinz Kerry and her Boy Toy

[CAluvdubya]

The French regard Yasser Arafat as a hero rather than a terrorist, according to a new poll.

No kidding? Boy I never saw that one comming. Whoooo, now this changes my whole way of thinking about the French!sarcasm off

[BeerMonkey]

and this is news ,how ,and to whom?

[Eric in the Ozarks]

And, not a deodorant stick within 500 miles...

[weenie]

We are beginning to see that something big is coming.

A thousand years ago the French were strong. Is there anything left in French blood that can be awakened? If there is any trace of courage...we need it.

In the last election, we dodged a bullet. We were not so lucky on 9/11/2001.

Wake up America...wake up world...

Here it comes

[F15Eagle]

Guess the French didn't learn anything from Hitler and WWII.

foolish frog idiots. At least the ones who saw Arafat as a hero. Unfortunately, there are idiot Americans in our own country who think the same thing.

ARAFAT IS A MAJOR TERRORIST. HELLO WORLD!?!?!?

[Hodar]

Any nation that, collectively, is afraid of its own shadow WOULD side with such a ruthless murderer.

Bears repeating, because you are 100% correct. France is a country of cowards, back-stabbers and among the most arrogant people you are likely to meet. France has donated nothing noteworthy to civilization in the past 500 years, which they are painfully aware of. All they can do is boast of what France was 500 yrs ago. I think no small part of their condescenion and arrogance is due to the fact that they realize they are completely without value to the human race. They are spineless, cowardly and craven, and their bravado simply is making up for the inferiority they feel, because it is painfully real.

Consider that France has the PA on their payroll, in that they pay the PA to keep it's terrorism out of France. During the Paris airport bombing 20 years ago; France bravely took the stance that they would subtract the damages done by the terrorist who threw the gernade. When Arafat simply stated that if their payment was not paid in full, it would be considered a breach of the 'protection contract' France had made. Within weeks, France demonstrated their stature, and paid the PA the full amount. They are too craven and scared to field their own army; so they rely on mercenaries to do the work that the common Frenchman is too afraid to do. Hence, the French Legionares; who protect the sniveling cowards that pollute Europe.

Too much wine for too many generations surely does kill the brain cells, doesn't it???

7. The Taco Bell Chihuahua

Hey, the Taco Bell Chihuahua is a good guy!!! (maybe not a hero though).

Viva! Gorditas!

[DustyMoment]

Poll: French see Arafat as hero

And, this is a surprise to whom??

[Mike Darancette]

The French regard Yasser Arafat as a hero rather than a terrorist, according to a new poll.

Just a little more popular than Adolf Hitler and Josef Stalin.

[Alouette]

I'm not the brightest crayon in the box
Everyone says I'm dumber than a bag of rocks
I barely even know how to put on my own pants
But I'm a genius in France (yeah), genius in France, genius in France

Hoom chaka laka
Hoom chaka laka
Hoom chaka

I may not be the sharpest hunk of cheese
I got a negative number on my SATs
I'm not good looking and I don't know how to dance
But nevertheless and in spite of the evidence I am still widely considered to be
A genius in France, a genius in France, a genius in France

People say I'm a geek, a moronic little freak
An annoying pipsqueak with an unfortunate physique
If I was any dumber, they'd have to water me twice a week

But when the Mademoiselles see me, they all swoon and shriek
They dig my mystique, they say I'm c'est magnifique
When I'm in Par-ee, I'm the chic-est of the chic

They love my body odor and my bad toupee
They love my stripey shirt and my stupid beret
And when I'm sipping on a Perrier
In some cafe town in St. Tropez

It's hard to keep the fans at bay
They say, "Sign my poodle, s'il vous plait"
"Sign my poodle, s'il vous plait"

Hemenene humenene
himenene homenene
Poodle... poodle...

Folks in my hometown think I'm a fool
Got too much chlorine in my gene pool

A few peas short of a casserole
A few buttons missing on my remote control
A few fries short of a happy meal
I couldn't pour water out of a boot with instructions on the heel

Instructions on the heel
Instructions on the heel

But when I'm in Provence, I get free croissants
Yeah, I'm the guy every French lady wants
And if you ask 'em why, you're bound to get this response
(He's a genius in France! Genius in France!)

That's right
(He's a genius in France, genius in France)
You know it
(He's a genius in France, genius in France, genius in France)

I'm not the brightest bulb on the Christmas tree
But the folks in France, they don't seem to agree
They say, "Bonjour, Monsieur would you take ze picture with me?"

I say, "Oui, oui"
That's right, I say, "Oui, oui"
"Oui, oui"
He says, "Oui, oui"

I'm dumber than a box of hair
But those Frenchies don't seem to care
Don't know why, mon frere
But they love me there

I'm a genius in France
Yeah, I'm a genius in France

Gonna make a big splash when I show up in Cannes
Gonna make those Frenchies scream
"You ze man! You ze man! You ze man!"

Like a fine Renoir (waa), I've got that je me c'est quoi (quoi!)
Like a fine Renoir (ooh la la), I've got that je me c'est ...
Quoi quoi quoi quoi quoi, oo-we-oo
Quoi quoi quoi quoi quoi, oo-we-oo

Bow diddy bow di bow di bow bow diddy
Bow diddy bow di bow di bow bow diddy
Bow

[snort]

I'm a taco short of a combo plate
But by some twist of fate, all the Frogs think I'm great
Oh, the men all faint and the women scream
They like me more than heavy cream

When I'm in Versailles, I'm a popular guy
My oh my, I'm as French as apple pie (apple pie)
They think I'm awful witty, a riot and a half
When I tell a stupid joke, they laugh(haw haw haw haw haw)
And laugh (haw haw haw haw haw haw)

People in France have lots of attitude
They're snotty and rude, they like disgusting food
But when they see me, they just come unglued
They think that I am one happening dude

Bowm ba ba bowm ba bowm ba bowm
I'm about as sharp as a bowling ball
But they like me better than Charles DeGaulle

Entre nous, it's very true
The room temperature's higher than my IQ
But they love me more than Gerard Depardieu
How did this happen; I don't have a clue

Well, I'm not the quickest tractor on the farm
I don't have any skills or grace or charm
And most people look at me like I'm all covered with ants
But I'm a genius in France (yeah), genius in France, genius in France

And I'm never goin' back, I'm never goin' back
I'm never never never never goin' back home again
I'm tearin' up my return flight ticket
Gonna tell the folks back here where they can stick it

'Cause I'm never goin' back
I'm never goin' back
I'm never goin' back

The girls back home never gave me a chance
But I sho' 'nuff got them Frogs in some kinda trance
And I'm aware that it's a most improbable circumstance
But "Great Googily Moogily", I'm a genius in France

Every Frenchie that I meet
Just can't wait to kiss my feet
Get in line, pucker up! Tout Suite!

Bowm diddy bowm diddy bowm diddy

I'm gettin' even more famous by the hour
I'm stuffed with pastries and drunk with power
Now they're puttin' up my statue by the Eiffel Tower

A little more to the left, boys, a little more to the left
A little more to the left, boys, a little more to the left

I'm the biggest dork there is alive
My mom picked out my clothes for me 'till I was 35
And I forgot to mention
I'm not even welcome at the Star Trek convention

But the Frenchies think
That my poop don't stink
I'm a genius in France

Say, would you pass the Grey Poupon?
Merci beaucoup

[American_4_Ever]

We should NEVER help the French! Ever!

[weenie]

Alouette...

I hope that was a cut and paste and not recited from memory

I love your stuff but that was as long as a Kerry speech.

...little weenie

[nosofar]

This is just pathetic. I knew the French were a little on the anti-semitic side, but this is making me question their intelligence.

[Alouette]

I hope that was a cut and paste and not recited from memory

I am a Weird Al fanatic. I know all his lyrics by heart. :)

(actually, this was from a text file)

[thoughtomator]

Being the most notorious Jew-killer of one's time must earn automatic hero status in France.

[weenie]

I am a Weird Al fanatic.

Okay...but damn you...I'm a Weird Al nut too...

I'm not sure I've got enough brain cells left to remember that though.

[weenie]

Alouette: I just read your tread very slowly...three times.

I don't know if you are French or man or woman...not that it matters.

But I believe there is courage in French blood...

...this from an Englishman whose blood runs back Agincourt.

[foofoopowder]

The French are harboring a terrorist, Arafat. Isn't France therefore our enemy? (Nothing new, just a "nuance".)

[Alouette]

It's just the lyrics to a weird Al song. It's not suppose to make sense.

[swilhelm73]

Well hey, kill as many Jews as Arafat has, and of course you will be popular in France.

[weenie]

But doesn't Weird Al always make contra sense.

Forgive me.

I dig deep for meaning

Did you mean this lightly or was there a deeper meaning?

If what you intended was light-hearted, that's OK...but it has no value in the deeper world.

Pali Man

© 2002 Mad Mullah Productions

It's nine o'clock on a Friday
The regular mosque crowd shuffles in
There's an old man sittin' next to me
Saying prayers, for his many dead kin

He says, "Son, can you tell me what's goin' on?
I think I'm lossin' mah mind...
It's sad and I'm beat and near dead on mah feet
And I fear, for all of mankind"

La la la, Ham du lay la
Enshalla Bukra, Ha Ha

Sing us a song, you're the Pali man
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we're not in the mood for a suicide
And you guys, you just want ta fight

Now Jamal at tha mosque is a friend of mine
He gets me C4 fer free
And he's a nice guy and quite willing ta die
But there's someplace that he'd rather be
He says, "Mahmoud, I believe this is killing me."
As the smile ran away from his face
"Well I'm sure that I could be a great martyr
If I could blow some Israelis ta space!"

Oh, La la la, Ham du lay la
Enshalla Bukra Ha Ha

Now Abdul is an Islamic novelist
Never raised enough goats fer a wife
And he's talkin' with Mo who's preparing to blow
For a chance at a heavenly life

And the Mullah is practicing politics
In a country where women get stoned
No, they can't get a drink for their hopelessness
They just go back to tha camp they call home

Oh, La la la, Ham du lay la
Enshalla Bukra Ha Ha

It's a pretty good crowd for a Friday
And the mullah gives me a smile
'Cause he knows that it's Allah they're all here ta follow
To forget about life for a while
And the sirens make it sound like a carnival
And the gunfire just keeps comin' near
But they just cling to their rug like a miracle drug
Till they cry, "Daamnn, tha Israelis are here!"

Oh, La la la, Ham du lay la
Enshalla Bukra Ha Ha
