At the onset of the Iraq War France did not with to join the coalition to fight Hussein. 9/11 was still fresh in people's minds. The emotional response was to push back on things labeled French, and that extended to calling french fries freedom fries. Forum usage of Freedom X dates to that period.

The more mundane answer is that the meme initially only applied to people. They were either Freedom Fighters or Horrible People. Eventually Fighters and People were replaced by what ever noun one wanted  to judge

Just saying, you're being a bit hypocritical there, criticizing bad "Grammer".

It was a Freedom Decision to designate "good guys" as Freedom Fighters.

But shouldn't a Freedom Fighter be someone who fights against freedom?
A firefighter isn't someone who fights for fire.

This is Atlas, where certain posters make it their life's work to perfect the art of having it both ways.

I still call them "Freedom Fries".  I imagine the freedom I'll lose be eating so may as to have Coronary Artery Disease.

Yes, we do.  For example:

The freedom dish in question was invented by the poors and the fats in order to make their food last longer.
