Is France really hated in the USA ?

I have heard of people hating french things to the point where they no longer use the words like "french-fries", and replace them with, for example "freedom fries" EDIT : (And freedom kiss). Or politicians calling someone else a French as an insult. Or people joking about the french military defeats (and do they think what they say jokingly ?)

My question was : Is it a real thing among the global population of the USA (or other countries as well, maybe) , do you/they know where it comes from, and if so, does it changes your/their point of view ?

( Yes, I'm a french dude ... )

EDIT: Si, si, Frontpage, et tout, comme ça ...
