#1 Well hey thats no surprise to me, where else would some young punk French spoiled brats go to express their annoyance against British or American soldiers? - Somewhere where any American or British soldiers cant get up and kick their french little pansy asses. Thats a psych 101 no-brainer. Of course they are "big-shots" in a cememtery.Its the only place they can attempt to act like they have some balls.......among the defenseless dead.The funniest part is that they used a Swastika.... I guess they never read a history book. The reason why they are able to walk free, are because those brave young men are buried there, and is because we, The Americans and the Brits, fought to stop that Swastika - Furthermore the pansies that are their fathers that spawned them, were afraid to fight that Swastika. If they liked it so much - they should have told us back in 1941. We all would have loved to have our Grandfathers and Uncles come home, instead of defending them.

#2 Chirac is 100% to blame for this hate. He's the one who is going to pay. We actually fought for these people, can you believe that. What were we thinking, look how they pay us back. Telling us the men who died for them are garbage.

#3 What a disgrace. Let's see if the gendarmes let this one slide. Mr. Chiraq and his countrymen must be so proud.

#4 I'm kind of impressed that they bothered to quote the "Rosbifs" insult accurately, rather than just translate it. It is, of course, a term for the British of the same type as "Frogs" for the French, "Krauts" (or "sausage-eaters") for the Germans, etc. You make fun of what people eat, in this case the Roast Beef of Olde England.

#5 Guess that makes me a Haute Dogue. Those idiots, they even get the swasitka backwards. Nothing more pathetic than a French Fascist.

#6 Good luck yelling for help the next time the Krauts roll over your asses...

#7 Now I yelled at Murat for inflammatory headlines, I guess I should be consistent - please save the editorializing for the body.

Now, was that fair? blah.

#8 yeah, but you kept it in regular fonts - when I see Murat-work (all caps) I know not to waste my time reading his drivel. Scumbags? my ex called me worse than that ;-)

#9 When they find out who's responsible, what will the French do with the culprits?
A) give them the Legion de Honneur
B) give them a parade down the Champs-Elysee
C) appoint them to the Executive Board of Total-Fina-Elf
D) give them 10000 frequent flyer miles on Air France
E) all of the above

#10 I'd suppose these were some radical jihadis out of the slums of Paris. They might not have the French nationality.
The spelling of "rosbeef" is interesting indeed. No French would ever spell that insult this way. It's always "rosbif". Then again they didn't even spell "Sadam" the right way and the swastika is wrong as well.
