Ah yeah , I had forgotten about that. In 2004 they had people writing to Americans to tell them not to vote for GWB. Seems almost quaint now.

The responses were exactly as we all remember 'Dear Limey Assholes....'

Real Americans aren't interested in your pansy-ass, tea-sipping opinions. If you want to save the world, begin with your own worthless corner of it.
