Vandals Burn Statue of Liberty Replica in France

Wednesday, March 26, 2003



BORDEAUX, France — Vandals in southwest Bordeaux torched a replica of the Statue of Liberty and cracked the pedestal of a plaque honoring victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.

The crowned head of the 8-foot-tall statue was blackened by fire and its eyes were marked with red paint, apparently to symbolize tears of blood, an official at the mayor's office said.

The statue and the Sept. 11 plaque are beside each other in a square near the city center.

The mayor of the southwestern city, Alain Juppe, condemned Wednesday's pre-dawn attack, saying the statue's message is especially pertinent in wartime.

"At a time when the world is living a major conflict, it is more important than ever to remain watchful of the values of peace and liberty," said Juppe, a former prime minister.

The Lady Liberty standing in New York Harbor was a gift from France to the United States commemorating freedom and friendship between the nations. It was made by Frederic-Auguste Bartholdi and dedicated in 1886.

Today, tensions between France and the United States have flared over the war in Iraq. French people overwhelmingly oppose the U.S.-led conflict and President Jacques Chirac angered many Americans by trying to slow the U.S. drive to war.

In France, vandals have ransacked McDonald's restaurants in Paris and Strasbourg, targeting the fast food chain as a symbol of American influence.

Cafeterias in the U.S. House of Representatives subsequently changed their menus to read "freedom fries" instead of French fries and "freedom toast" instead of French toast.

Lawmakers also introduced bills preventing France from participating in any postwar reconstruction projects.

I just hope we, as a nation, remember what are so called allies did when we turned to them for help. So many people are so quick to forget the past :banghead:

Maybe it is time to demonstrate to the French the American "Bi***-Slap":evil:

[CatsDieNow]

Why are the French vandalizing their own stuff? Thinking back to a few TP runs that I may or may not have participated in, the idea was to decorate the other guy's trees, not the one in my own yard.

Am I the only one that notices the "Peace Protests" turn into riotous mobs destroying otherwise benign political symbols of freedom and liberty ? I find this type of action UNACCEPTABLE !:fire:

[DeltaElite]

Yanno why they had to stop the nightly fireworks display at Euro Disney in Paris, France?


The French couldn't figure out who to surrender to. :neener:

The new motto seems to be "Peace through violence."

There's a song by Kris Kristofferson (sp?), I think its called "Vietnam Blues." In it, a protester has a sign reading "we won't go", and Kris says "ain't that right? You'd rather let a soldier die instead." The spirit of the 60s is indeed alive. :mad:

Beaucoup de Français sont absurdes, mais nous avons également ces le genre de personnes en Amérique. La stupidité ne connaît aucune limite, mais elle semble courir effréné Ã* travers l'eau...

[Sam Adams]

OK, Daniel Flory, please translate. Most of us on TFL don't speak the language of the Devil.;)

[Russ]

I don't even pay attention to anything they say or do now. Like all high level Iraqi officials, everything that comes out of Chirac and his cronies mouths is a lie. You can tell because their lips are moving.

FreeTranslation.com says that Daniel Flory siad:A lot of French are absurd, but we have equally these the kind of persons in America. Stupidity does not know any limit, but she seems to run frantic through water

[DeltaElite]

I used a French translator and got this. :D

"A lot of French are absurd, but we have equally these the kind of persons in America. Stupidity does not know any limit, but she seems to run frantic through water."

This is Cheese eating surrender monkeys, in French.

"Fromage manger les singes de reddition." :neener:

[Rebel Gunman HK]

Been sayin it for years.... F*#@ the French.

[Soap]

Basically I just said that there are a ton of stupid French...just as there are a ton of stupid Americans (For example: the people camped out for peace on campus). But Europe does seem to have a much higher concentration of idiocy. A by-product of socialism? Absolutely.
