This is Henri Emmanuelli and this happened in the French parliament today.
Link, sadly in German (can't find English news yet): Der Spiegel
Basically the backstory is, that Sarkozy's puppet PM Francois Fillon defended a tax reform only inteded to make the president's rich friends even richer. On Henri Emmanuelli's protests he made a crude comparison to Germany (totally idiotic, since it has nothing to do with the topic) and basically tried to say that any criticism is unpatriotic. Henri Emmanuelli aswert to this bullshit with the picture above.

That's hilarious. That's what people should do when confronted with that moronic argument. I remember getting bombarded with that shitty arguments like that in the lead up to the Iraq war and when I tried to explain myself I just more of the "you are an unpatriotic terrorist sympathiser" rubbish.
I should have given those wankers the one fingered salute.
