Read this article from a France paper and tell me what you think.

A liberal American group Friday released an advertisement that rails on Republican White House nominee John McCain for backing a US Air Force decision to award a huge contract to Europe’s Airbus.
“A message of thanks to John McCain from the French people,” says the video ad, which is in French with English subtitles and was issued by the Campaign for America’s Future, a self-described “progressive” think tank.
“John McCain, hero of France,” reads a banner on the Arc de Triomphe in the opening scene, and later McCain is depicted as wearing a beret and a curly mustache.
“Thanks for helping the US military choose a French company, Airbus. Tens of thousands of jobs for the French and thousands fewer for Americans, ha, ha, ha!” it says.
“It’s a great day for France. Long live John McCain and long live France.”
The ad was issued the same day as a meeting between McCain and French President Nicolas Sarkozy in Paris.
McCain has been criticized by Democratic lawmakers for backing a legislative change in 2004 that allowed the deal to take place, and the liberal group cited press reports that said his aides had lobbied for EADS to win the deal.
On February 29, the contract to build up to 179 military refueling planes was awarded to Northrop Grumman Corporation and Airbus’s parent company the European Aeronautic Defense and Space Company (EADS), Boeing’s arch-rival in commercial aircraft.
It was a stunning upset for Boeing, until now the sole supplier of air refueling planes to the US military.
Boeing earlier this month officially challenged the decision, a move that temporarily freezes the estimated 35-billion-dollar contract.

Just a question though. Wouldn’t the liberals be happy by this because don’t liberals think that France is the epitome of secularization? And because I can’t help myself, one more question. Wouldn’t they be jumping for joy at destroying a “exploitive” American buisness such as Boeing? Oh wait it was an add that did just that.

Sounds like some “Dead-brained Liberal” stuff to me.

A young woman was about to finish her first year of college. Like so many others her age, she considered herself to be a very liberal Democrat, and was very much in favor of the redistribution of wealth.
She was deeply ashamed that her father was a rather staunch Republican, a feeling she openly expressed. Based on the lectures that she had participated in, and the occasional chat with a professor, she felt that her father had for years harbored an evil, selfish desire to keep what he thought should be his.
One day she was challenging her father on his opposition to higher taxes on the rich and the addition of more government welfare programs. The self-professed objectivity proclaimed by her professors had to be the truth and she indicated so to her father. He responded by asking how she was doing in school.
Taken aback, she answered rather haughtily that she had a 4.0 GPA, and let him know that it was tough to maintain, insisting that she was taking a very difficult course load and was constantly studying, which left her no time to go out and party like other people she knew. She didn’t even have time for a boyfriend, and didn’t really have many college friends because she spent all her time studying.
Her father listened and then asked, “How is your friend Audrey doing ?” She replied, “Audrey is barely getting by. All she takes are easy classes, she never studies, and she barely has a 2.0 GPA. She is so popular on campus; college for her is a blast. She’s always invited to all the parties, and lots of times she doesn’t even show up for classes because she’s too hung over.”
Her wise father asked his daughter, “Why don’t you go to the Dean’s office and ask him to deduct a 1.0 off your GPA and give it to your friend who only has a 2.0. That way you will both have a 3.0 GPA and certainly that would be a fair and equal distribution of GPA.”
The daughter, visibly shocked by her father’s suggestion, angrily fired back, “That wouldn’t be fair! I have worked really hard for my grades! I’ve invested a lot of time, and a lot of hard work! Audrey has done next to nothing toward her degree. She played while I worked my tail off!”

The father slowly smiled, winked and said gently, ” Welcome to the Republican party.”
