In the US, oh yeah, big time, if you were noteworthy. That's part of how the Dixie Chicks became irrelevant, they dared to even make a tepid statement about it.

The fervor was insane.
I've heard of the freedom fries thing before in passing but never of why it was changed... wow.
Yup. Forgot how crazy it went, but yes (forgot french toast was also renamed lmao).
