CNN and Amanpour speaks to DeVillepin (perfect couple eh?) 10,000 cars burned, 150 cops hurt, 100 public buildings damaged
"I am not sure we can call them riots" DeVillepin "Nobody died" "You can not compare this kind of social unrest with riots. There were no guns in the streets. This was a very special movement" "There is no ethinic and no religious basis of this movement". "These people want to be 100% French"
I swear I am not making this up....................quoting verbatim. Watch the video. I want his drugs ! - Atlas
good grief ping....there is a link to the video
Libs can always fool themselves into believing anything.
Well heck, there was no 'gun violence.' That means there was no story!
"I am not sure we can call them riots"
He's right, though. More like apocalyptic cultural breakdown of a spineless society in the midst of dry-heaving, diluted self-importance on a national scale. Next thing you know, you got "The Trouble with Tribbles."
"These people want to be 100% French"
Uh-huh. Good luck with that.
Special. Yep. Special alright.
Sure can tell he's a Liberal...he is quick to redefine words that are difficult for him to accept...

De Villepin knocks affirmative action in his interview. I want to see Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton's reactions to this:
Amanpour: Is that like positive discrimination? Is that affirmative action?
De Villepin: No, there is a difference between... what we stand for in our republic, which is: equal chances and affirmative action. ( Affirmative action is mainly aimed in taking into account the race and the religion. In our republic: everybody is equal and we don't want to take into account the color of the skin or the religion. But we want to take into account the difficulty that one may have. So we want to help the individuals on the basis of their own difficulties. That's why we are going to have an important program in order to help more this neighborhood that has been facing difficulties in terms of education for example. That means we are going to help all the different schools in these neighborhoods, in order to help all the young people that maybe cannot master as well the French language or do have problems in schools. It means very intense program in order to give them equal chances.
Amanpour: How can you help these people if you do not take into account that they are discriminated against because of their color.
De Villepin: We are going to triple the scholarships giving to the children. We are going to triple the boarding schools in order to answer to the best students in these different neighborhoods, in order to help them going to university and to have a good career. But the difference between the system you have and the one we have is that we are going to help as well any young children in France facing difficulties but not taking into account the fact he is black or coming from Maghreb or being Muslim. Every one who is having difficulties is going to be taken into account and helped individually."
I'm quite sure we can accurately call the French "toast."
In France, don't say words means problems don't exists.
Socialist novlangue.
That parrot is dead!
No, he's sleeping.
No he's not, he's dead!
SLEEPING!
DEAD!
SLEEPING!!!!!!!!!
Well, he's certainly not a well bird.
First there is denial then blame.He is still in denial,big time.
Or
The French, "I am not sure we can call them men", all the world said, "Nobody stood up to these punks"
