Fox News mocks the Canadian military
By scarce Sunday Mar 22, 2009 10:30am
The spectacularly stupid and offensive Fox News show Red Eye with host Greg Gutfeld (above) sunk to new depths this week by belittling a neighbor and ally in the so-called war on terrorism. Although Canada opted out of involvement in Iraq, they have been in Afghanistan since 2002. Originally slated to leave in 2009, the Canadian government has extended the Afghan mission to 2011. At least one of the guests claimed he didn't know Canadian forces were in Afghanistan, which is typical of the expertise on the show. Certainly, conservative radio host Monica Crowley wasn't out of place.
An ill-considered and ill-timed bit of idiocy it was too, as yesterday four Canadian soldiers were killed and eight wounded near Kandahar.
Master Cpl. Scott Francis Vernelli (28), Cpl. Tyler Crooks (24), Trooper Jack Bouthillier (20) and Trooper Corey Joseph Hayes (22) were killed Friday in two roadside bomb blasts in Kandahar province. Eight Canadian soldiers were also wounded. (Department of National Defence)
If you have the stomach for it you can view a clip of the aftermath of the explosion, here.

who are these fools and tell me why in God good name would i listen to these wackos? i could tell from their concern for our nations freedoms that they all had surely served in the army done and held their hands up high when asked if they wanted to go half way around the world to have people try and kill them. thank you Jesus for not letting me have cable and thus not having had a clue until just now that fox really as bad as i thought it was. one word for those fools... repent!
I sure hope not. I'd be embarassed to have our friends to the North watching that everyday and thinking it's how a majority of Americans think.
yes it is available, unfortunately.
It is but only through a satellite dish or digital cable, if I'm not mistaken. I remember a few years back there was talk of putting Fox News on Basic Cable here and there was an outcry across the country that prevented it. Although I'm sure Albertans love it.
What do you mean by that?
I think dsmith was referring to Alberta's conservative reputation. I wouldn't take offense, cl.
I'm in B.C. and I don't think Fox is on basic cable here. As a result I've never watched it and, until yesterday, I've never heard of these nutbars on Red Eye. I mentioned on a previous thread that I'm not in favour of Canada's military being used to guard a pipeline in Afghanistan but I would never put down the soldiers.
If I didn't know better, I would swear this was a bad attempt at satire.
I'm not bothered by dsmith's comment, but I'd be willing to bet that even conservative Albertans are offended by Fox.
As an american I have been to Alberta and I didn't think the people there were nutjobs.
:)
I'm Canadian and I won't go there. Sorry calgarylady. We have more than enough rednecks in Ontario for my liking.
I was actually kind of joking about the Albertans comment. Maybe I should have specified. But are you actually taking issue with the implication that Alberta is the most conservative province in Canada? Because thats sure as hell what it looks like to the rest of us.
but there are lots of conservatives everywhere in Canada.
Watching the clip put me in a bad mood and I took your joke the wrong way.
Reading everyone's comments has made me feel better. Cheers, dsmith.
I would never have anything against calgarylady. The planet is full of asswipes, in every place, and right in everyone's own neighbourhoods (maybe even families).
I appreciate that.
My own Dad is a (Canadian) Conservative. The reason we get along, is he is a social progressive. He supports legalizing marijuana, gay marriage, abortion/freedom to choose own fate, etc., etc. He's not an asshole about the things I care about. He agrees with me.
He is ALL about the money, and low taxes. He did finally say he "HATES BUSH and this GOP," with a passion, so I have hope.
I would like to say to our Canadian cousins that not all americans feel the way these right wing wackadoodles. I have had to pleasure to visit your country and work with them also. Great people. Some americans forget that your military has always stood by ours. Shame on those who criticize your country. On many occasions your country has saved our people at embassies in the middle east. I want you all to know majority americans respect your country.
Yes, we know. I have lots of good American friends. Even a lover, once. Nutjobs are not geographically specific, but concentrations of them do seem to appear in certain areas. Those are areas I try to avoid.
Yes it is, and yes we do. Europe and Asia too. It's avaialble everywhere cable carries it. Not in Korea (not my cable company), thankfully, but I've seen it in Thaialnd. I watched a wee bit just to see it--- DISGUSTING.
I think the same way. I just tune it out.
the best way to help out is for us to flood his inbox with hundreds of angry letter to try to make him give a public apologies to our troops in Afghanistan. (ow and stupid lady on the show. have you ever been to Toronto in summer it is hotter then New York)
Doug Benson comes across as someone who is highly stoned, look at his eyes, all squinty, he's lauging at stupid shit, he's got a big silly grin on his face, he definitely took a few bong hits before the show. ("Me, really?")
Bill Shultz, I had an asswipe like this in my high school class. Thought he was so cool because he was busy running down everyone who wasn't "cool" in his eyes. This jackoff likes to make fun of the Canadians, because they aren't as bloodthirsty, and as militarized as our police are. Actually, I think that's a good thing because it means they aren't as adversarial as American police officers. This guy needs to be shoved up against a wall by his lapels and collar of his khaki jacket, and firmly told the facts of life.
Monica Crowley at first defends, then runs down the Canadian military like the popular prom queen she acts like. All of this snark is so high schoolish, I'm getting a flashback.
And then to seal the deal, they bring on the chimpanzee with the five O'clock shadow, Jonathan Hoenig, they guy who once said that if he shot his own dog, it was his to do with as he pleased. Everytime I see this waste-of-skin, I want to violently punch him in the mouth, it's something about that smarmy, little smirk of his.
...for consistently maintaining the quality of journalism for which they are well known.
lol that was pretty funny.
Its more comedy and should not be taken seriously.
I found it funny.
and if it was supposed to be funny then FAILURE. That wasn't funny one damned bit. Canada's been in country since 2002 and the U.S. military has been forced to fuck around in Iraq when the real threat is in Afghanistan. Since when does a country have to answer to the U.S. when it decides to leave? These "people" should be ashamed of themselves.
they have been in the most violent province all that time.
Here are some facts that we all might find helpful:
On 9/11 an attack organized from inside Afghanistan was launched against the United States. In keeping with their NATO committment, Canada went to Afghanistan to fight in defense of their (sometimes ungrateful) ally, the United States.
Population of Canada: 30 million.
Canadian casualties in Afghanistan: 116.
Casualties per million population: 3.9
Population of the United States: 300 million.
U.S. Casualties in Afghanistan: 667.
Casualties per million population: 2.2
Ratio of Canadian casualties to U.S. casualties in Afghanistan: Nearly two to one.
Nuff said.
And yes, FOX News is available on Canadian basic cable. Bill O'Reilly was famous for calling for a Bill-O-cott of Canadian goods to punish Canada for not following the U.S. into Iraq. Maybe it's time for Canada to call for a boycott on the Fox News Channel?
gotcha, don't take anything on fox news seriously!
and have an odd sense of humour, in that case.
My wife found it funny too. Her nephew was Master Cpl. Scott Vernelli.
And when I say "stupid ignorant American assholes" I speak of the inbred morons at FOX and anyone else who thinks this is good joke fodder. Asshole.
I am so sorry for your wife that she has both lost her nephew and now having to hear such bullshit from Fox News.. :( Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers..
It's times like these that I feel shame and embarrassment that I'm American...
The flight I wind up catching because I missed the one I was supposed to be on after I got sidetracked at the airport bar and was refused entry because my eyes were too red.
Sounds like the Fux program is aptly named.
Greg has never served any time in the military, the last time I checked.
[Deleted. Off topic-Sitemonitor]
Let's not generalize. I can assure you that for every Jewish-American war hawk, there are at least two Jewish-American peace-nicks, and for every Israeli who wants to destroy the Palestinians, there is another one who wants a peaceful, two-state solution. (And that's not an easy stance to take when you actually LIVE there.) It's just unfortunate that the hawks are more visible, and more noisy than the doves. But then, that's always been true of the American hawks and doves, too, hasn't it?
Just trying to find something that's less funny than these smirking chicken hawks. That's the problem when right wingers venture into the perilous world of comedy. So many things they just don't get, and they will never bother to find out if they've got the most basic facts RONG. So, they sit around making snide jokes about Canada while Canadian soldiers are getting killed and wounded.
Do they even care if they're flat out wrong? Of course not. It's Fox. The smirk is the message.
Hey Greg Gufeld, I have this great new slogan for Canada:
Canada - "Cleaning Up Your Afghan Mess Since 2002"™
Shades of Old Europe v new allies.
...I heard a couple of lines from a comedian that was actually funny unlike these people. Don't get offended I think these guys are idiots because of the subject but anyway...
Canada, someone started a country and no one showed up.
What kind of culture is Canada? When was the last time you heard someone say "let's go out to eat, why don't we get Canadian.
was not Canada itself, but the ridicule of their military, that makes this so offensive. This sort of shit, especially to our allies, is just not fathomable, IMHO.
That's why I said these guys are idiots because of the subject. Like I said, don't get offended.
I was forgetting, McDonald's and KFC are of course the very height of civilized cuisine.
Why funny? What is American food? Fast food hamburgers? What is American culture? Paris Hilton? Drive through junk food?
You have to consider, we're doing something right. The rest of the world loves us. Unlike you, whom they hate, and some even want to harm. Think about it. Ego check needed.
Kudos. Great stuff.
who needs enemies, right?
Only a petulant over entitled society, would find it fit to mock one of your allies while they still have troops on the ground. And all because they refused to go along a war of aggression which turned out to be purely of choice.
The depravity of FOX never ceases to amuse me.
I hate these people.
And I'm one of the nicest, friendliest persons you'll ever meet.
I'm just sick of this reich-wing insanity that's infecting and destroying this nation. Fox is depraved. It isn't a news outlet. It needs to be shut down.
"They ain't got the weight to hate." But as time has gone on, I concur with Malloy.
I hate these fucking people!
As a Canadian, I find this unbelievably offensive, but totally typical of many Americans ignorance of anything that is not American. The timing only makes it worse. Then the one idiot says we are not a smart culture? Maddening!
I too, find this horribly offensive. Shows how fucking stupid the assclowns at FOX 'News' truly are.
Who the hell are these idiots?!
Prime example of why the U.S. is thought of as ignorant & absurdly arrogant by many in the rest of the world. Sure we know better...that the majority of Americans are thoughtful & humane, but these jerks certainly aren't helping their country.
I only hope that any of my fellow Canadians who have lost loved ones in the war in Afghanistan do not happen upon this clip.
Digusting!!
Remember when polls revealed most Britons opposed the war in Iraq, despite PM Tony Blair blindly supporting Bush's war?
Billo responded on his show with "Why should Americans give a damn what the British people think???"
A caller who slipped past the screeners then asked Billo 'Then why should the British give a damn what the American people think"?
Billo cut the caller off an angrily bellowed
"BECAUSE WE'RE AMERICANS"!!!!!!
This kind of a**holish arrogance is typical of the right wing-they are miltant nationists, and see all other nations- even our allies as being inferior.
And remember- the only relationship any of these right wingers want with the rest of the world is one of hostility.
In right wing Republican world, allies are not seen as equals,rather, they are seen as nations whose sole purpose is to serve US intersts, and if they don't, they're punished.
Remember what happened when France opposed our actions in Iraq?
(and the French turned out to be correct in the end)
Right wingers started eating 'freedom fries' and 'freedom toast. I really don't think the right wing has any clue wha the word 'freedom' really means..
I was in Austin, TX, working at a drug store in the 1Hr Photo lab. A guy brought in a roll of film from a local BBQ joint that was holding an "anti-France" event. They were giving away free BBQ sandwiches to anyone who brought a bottle of French wine or a block of French cheese, which was then thrown into a 55-gallon drum and set on fire.
I still have copies of those pics somewhere in the house. Made me sick then, and I still am disgusted at what those idiots were doing.
That would have been like "giving away" a bag of shit in exchange for a pound of gold. I would have gladly volunteered to host the disposal site for all of that magnificent wine and cheese people were throwing away during that stupid wave of France-bashing; just leave it behind and I'll take care of it! **hic**
As for Fox (a-hem) News, this Canadian says they can go fuck their own hats. I want few things more than to see our soldiers come back from that shit-hole, and the only apology I'd take from those pricks for their ignorance would be their offer to take our boys' places.
Every last one of the grinning simians at FOX is a smearing, leering, clueless drive-by fucking coward who wouldn't stand in harm's way if their children's lives depended on it. And you can take that to the bank .
Acually no,
They helped destroy the banks.
Next step, let's call 'em weasels and apply a "freedom" prefix to all things Canadian!
I swear, not a single event in the past seven years seems to have impacted the manic ideas in these people's minds.
Freedom bud...
Jesus f*cking Christ!!
Yeah, I'd say that's a pretty unusual name for a man too.
FOR A MAN? idiots...
What about Marion Wayne?
I like Lindsey Graham.
This video has been all over the Canadian blog sites just like a bad case of teen acne before the prom.
It's a sad thing that Fox has not said anything about the video.
Perhaps Americans would be wise to protest by turning off Fox news permanently.
That kick in the coffers would kill the network.
I never watch and would suggest however that boycotting the product sponsor for the show would be apppropriate.
Who is the sponsor of Gutfeld's show???
Duuude, don't bogart, OK? Pass it down...
As a proud Canuck , i am increasingly distressed that our kids are there, at all, and dying in greater numbers lately too. It even bothers me more due to my beliefs in the event (911) that sent them there in the first place. I support the troops but have no faith in the mission now. I disliked the Taliban the minute they started blowing up 2000 year old artifacts long before 911. The world is full of repressive and crazy regimes. I just cant see any benefit to Canada to stay there a minute longer. I know the individual soldier will get a certain amount of satisfaction out of helping some of the people there but it seems like a bottomless pit of despair otherwise.
Letting right wing freaks belittle our efforts and blood wont do much to endear the Canadian public anyways. Some of these people need to get out and stand, along the " Highway Of Heros " in Ontario, in the freezing fucking cold as our fallen are brought home to rest. There will be thousands of people out this week too as our latest fallen heros are brought home. People routinely line the road and bridges to pay their respects en masse for every soldier. As far as the fighting spirit of Canadians? You might want to ask the German SS Panzer groups we decimated after D Day.
I agree, but don't waste you breath reminding right wingers of the heroism of the Canadian troops that fought in WW2-
Most on the right wing are blitheringly ignorant of history, and think the US alone defeated the Germans...I guess they think all the British and Candians did was provide backup...
Listening to these idiots, is it any shock most of the world see Americans as arrogant morons?
I remember shocking people by saying that essentially the combination of Russia and Britain defeated Germany, by refusing to roll over.
And they couldn't accept that France actually split their army between Vichy and De Gaulle, the latter of whom led the resistance that paved the way to D-Day.
The Canadians were used as advance shock troops in the d-day invasion because they were a fierce and effective force. When I visited Normandy, the French opened their homes to me because they remember being liberated by Canada.
being impersonator.
Made it 'til 2:14 and shut it off. Did I set a record? Prizes?
'Andrew Leslie' was an unusual name for a man. had to shut it down.
I'm American, but I spent a few years in Canada (just moved back to the US), and I met a number of Canadian soldiers who serve(d) in Afghanistan. They worked their asses off in one of the most violent parts of the country, and when the US moved their priorities to Iraq, it was the Canadians that stepped up and took over operations in the most violent regions.
They've been handling a majority of the hard fighting in "the good war" and you'd think that even the Fox types could appreciate that.
PS. the RCMP (aka "mounties") are actually insanely scary (and sometimes unethical). Not the kind of group you mess with. They are not comparable to an American police force whatsoever. They are more like the FBI, except that they also do regular police work. And, before 1984, they were basically the Canadian CIA as well until, due to a number of scandals, CSIS was formed to separate intelligence gathering (and spy work) from the police work, but the mounties are still involved in a number of international operations. In short, not a group you want to make fun of.
In the 30's and 40's in cliffhanger serials of roughly 15 chapters, a chapter a week, Canadian Mounties often figured in the US serials as variations on the cowboy theme. Young boys loved movies with plenty of horse chases, and they always featured the motto, The Canadian Mounties Always Get Their Man.
So maybe soon we'll see a sequel entitled Brokeback Mounties.
First, they feminize the entire Canadian military:
Then insult the entire Canadian nation:
Then make this claim:
Overcompensation anyone?
I stopped counting the insults. These Faux creeps have no shame.
I pray that the families of those dead soldiers are spared from seeing this disgraceful display of ignorance and hatred.
Ain't these yahoos ever heard of Leslie Howard?
and who can forget our beloved canuck, Leslie Nielsen.
Surely you jest.
don't call me Shirley.
How about General Leslie Groves, leader of the atomic bomb project during WWII? Yeah, what a pussy HE was.
A few quotes from an article he wrote while in London:
http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/ar...
This guy has issues.
I'd never rely on any "facts" from Wiki, but apparently Mr. Gutfeld doesn't rely on facts either so fair is fair.
Was she buying or selling?
When I worked in Europe, I'd go to London 5 or 6 times a year for the weekend. If you went into their red phone booths, they were covered with "postcards" which were advertisements for prostitutes. I'd say that almost all of these were actually dominatrixes who promised to spank and cane you if you came their way!
Wonder if that's how Gutfeld met his wife....through the red phone booths???
Cheeky!
from around SoHo and Edgeware. I love the clip art doms and spanking scenes on them. Way funnier than a studio full of dicks on Fox 'News.'
I lived in The Netherlands for 4 years, and every time I went to London, I snatched a few of these cards! I usually stayed in in central London, in the Mayfair area.
I brought back a whole bunch of them....they cracked me up! I'll have to dig them out of my box of stuff I brought back to get a good laugh!
I say to Mr Gufeld:
I'm sorry. Didn't mean for you to find Canadian support for idiotic wars lacking. So, while I can't speak for all Canadians, I can speak for myself as an expat living here in Canada:
Kindly go f*ck yourself you rude ignorant chunder brained asshole. It's worthless skidmark excuses like you that impelled me to leave the nation of my birth. Thanks for screwing the pooch you dim witted puddle of snot.
kisses,
Tweakerbelle
Pull out Canada and force that roundtable of idiots to go off and fight in Afghanistan instead.
Remember when she was on Laura Ingraham's show and claimed that Obama's half brother claimed that Obama has a "solid Muslim background"?
It was a total lie.
just below Beck's travesty.They try to be "edgy" and "cool" with the "kids" but they are just annoying and stupid. How can you be funny and edgy with "stars" like Ann Coulter, Jim (I make fun kids with special needs) Norton?! Gufeld would like to think he is like Maher, but really he is like that annoying loudmouth guy at the party that everyone keeps trying to get away from.
I've seen bits and pieces of it. I will grant that it is, for once, right wing "satire," but it just is not funny, and many parts of it are offensive.
That Nixonite Monica Crowley can bite me.
Keep your fly zipped then, General. I don't think she could stop talking long enough to do any swallowing...
Not only was Crowley on this disgusting show; I saw that she attended the MRC Dishonors Awards dinner.
So she can double bite me!
with a ball-gag in her un-funny gob...
but i'm horny enough the crack of dawn ain't safe...
Wouldn't Tony Orlando be jealous?
on a daily basis, Orlando should be a very well-paid pimp...
It reminds me of a joke we were telling when I was in school.
One day a boy comes in late for school, so the teacher asks, "Why are you late?"
He answers, "I dunno, teacher, I woke up in the crack of dawn."
After he takes his seat another boy comes in late, so the teacher asks him why he's late, and he answers, "I dunno teacher, I woke up in the crack of dawn."
Then another, and another boy comes in late, and they both answer the question why they were late, "I dunno teacher, I woke up in the crack of dawn."
Finally, a girl comes in late and the teacher says, "Excuse me young lady, do you belong in this class; what's your name?"
And she answers, "I'm Dawn."
(We thought that joke was soooo dirty.)
A good friend of mine I used to work with is married to his wife by the name of Dawn. Some years ago, Gary was quite late for work. We were all in our 20s and liked to party, so we just knew that's why he was late....out partying the night before!
However, another friend of mine I worked with at the time felt the need to call Gary and harrass him. He called his cell phone and left the message, "Hey, Gary. We don't exactly appreciate you waking up at the crack of Dawn. Get your ass to work!"
Needless to say, Gary walked into work shortly thereafter and was quite pissed! He actually had been in bed with Dawn, and she had heard the message as well!
The assholedness of these assholes is amazing. I assume they are all grizzled veterans...maybe the 101st keyboarders aka the fighting sparkleponies.
.
Funny,
All four of these people are of age for service...
... Yet none of them are serving.
If they wish to chide the military for giving relief to service members, why aren't these cowards lining up to aid in the relief?
.
Red Eye = Ass Hole
These guys haven't served as vets though they have probably serviced vets.
They're just more of the Sean Hannity / Tucker Carlson crowd who do it for money.. very damaged.. deseased, addicted prostitutes who allow themselves to be debased while debasing the gawkers who take advantage of their miserable condition.. we should be holding the network's money grubbing moguls accountable.
They look good in makeup and hair gel...
... Camos and mud, not so much.
Is it anything like the hairgel in Something About Mary?
Never saw the movie... :(
Actually, I didn't either, because I can't stand Ben Stiller, although he was tolerable in Night at the Museum.
I never could stand his parents Stiller and Mera either.
But the scene with the hair would've taken an effort to miss on all the news coverage.
that you of all people could find the YouTube clip ysbaddaden.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2tfEhubhXI&fe...
The movie came out before I discovered Youtube and before I discovered this site, if it existed yet.
Brown Eye.
Mr. Gutfeld's resume:
Quite the political journalism chops!
I first became aware of Gutfeld via the idiocy that HufPo formerly allowed him post. Fortunately, someone there finally became aware that he has nothing to offer to anyone. Gutfeld strikes me as a guy who has struggled with his weight all his life which makes his name somewhat unfortunate. I was floored when he chose to belittle the Canadian general's surname at the opening of the clip. Following that, the gay slurs against the Canadian military were less surprising. Please Greg go to Canada and confront those shirkers and tell them how gay they are!
Way back about 40 or so years ago when I was drafted and I went through boot camp there were a few that couldn't take the mental pressure or physical endurance. I saw a few that just sat there on the obstacle course and all they could do is cry. Some people are just not cut out for military service. I didn't know at the time is they all were potential stars of Fox News.
Thank you C&L for showing me more of the crap that I'll never watch on Fox News. Now, if I go on some game show, I'll know that there was a short-lived show on Fox called Red Eye.
Any time these ignorant fuckwads want to go join the military or any other service helping someone besides their own narcissistic asses, is fine by me.
I think my least favorite was Bill Schulz. What a putz.
Ignorant hacks. You can clearly see that Fox has the Monica Goodling HR department.
Who thought this guy had the voice for TV? The only way idiots know how to be 'funny' is via sarcasm or slapstick.
The idiocy of the FOX people is just too much to even respond to. Instead, I'd ask all our allies, American, Brits and others the world over who are reading here, to watch what happens when we bring a fallen soldier home. This clip shows it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sL4nl78hB50&fe...
There are 50 bridges over the Highway of Heroes, between Trenton and Toronto. And every one of them is crowded with people when our fallen soldiers pass by -- cops, firefighters, old veterans and folks of all ages standing silently and waving flags -- we salute our guys and honor their service and their passing. They paid the price for all of us. Four more will be coming home tomorrow. The bridges will be jammed with people. That makes about 118 or so since this war started that have taken the final trek on the Highway of Heroes.
We got into this war on behalf of Americans - when they were threatened and attacked on 9-11. We are allies of the US. We stayed in Afghanistan after the US pulled most of their troops out to concentrate on Iraq, and we're still there doing the dirtiest of work. And dying too.
Those people at FOX should be ashamed.
Sadly, not allowed in this country under bushco. Probably fear of clogging up interstate highways, disrupting the daily flow of corporate theft to be allowed.
The GOOD people of the US grieve with you and your countrymen.
for the Highway of Heroes video, even though watching it made me cry.
Thank you BetteB.
I am so terribly sorry to see and know about this. It shames me as an American that this has happened.
I hope most Canadians know that "Faux Newz" doesn't speak for normal, sane and intelligent Americans. That they are a propaganda arm of the re-Thuglic Party and only represent the lunatic fringe in this country.
*
Most people in America are indeed ignorant, war mongering Christian fundamentalists. The left may be the voice of reason, but sadly we are not in the majority. Most Americans are radical right wing..
Then how did Obama get elected? By this mythical majority rolling over and playing dead?
It reminds me of the bumpersticker, "The Moral Majority is neither".
Divide and conquer, the first rule of dirty politics.
The liberal movement in this country has always been underground, and seldom if ever mainstream...
I wish that weren't the case, but that's just how it is..
The Republican party imploded due to the geezer Mccain, who was hated by many Republicans- Just because they imploded doesn't mean we won them over...
Just also remember, that like the tsunami, it too is largely under water until it reaches a certain point, and then rises. Like it did on election day 2008, and Obama was victorious. Much still remains to be done, as always.
But you're wrong
If you can't reach the youtube link as shown above,
try this one, it leads to the same place:

After the show these Fox funnymen all got drunk, humped each other's
leg, and made fart sounds. How cool is that?
Thank you C&L commenters. As a Canadian, I was livid watching this clip, but your comments have calmed my anger. I realize I should not take this crap seriously in the first place, but still, thank you.
What really scares me is that a lot of people prefer Fox's lies to reality. Just look at the ratings. I would like to see Canada pull out of Afghanistan and NATO as well and get back to an independent foreign policy.
Hear hear. Enough with this fighting wars for American bankers!!!!
arg who are these people. its gutter TV. but did anyone else notice the lady had the deepest voice?
seriously who gives a bunch of dumb rich college frat boys their own TV show? on a news channel no less....
this is why americans have a reputation for smug arrogance, btw :|
The same people who give a dumb rich frat boy the presedency of the US. Assholes, cowards, swindlers, and basicly people who hate the U.S.ofA. People like Goofeld who readily disparage other men and women. Men and Women who have placed their lives in harms way. They deserve our fervent mocking and disrespect. Not to mention a good ss-kicking.
scum - WHERE IS YOUR PURPLE HEART? WHERE IS YOUR HONORABLE DISCHARGE? You and your smirking shitpile buddies denigrate people with real courage from your studio? You dare fucking mock soldiers while you have done nothing to ever risk your worthless skin? Just go die.

I'm really sick of these jerkoffs and the people who listen to them. Here is the e-mail I sent to redeye@foxnews.com
"I spent 13 years in the U.S. Marine Corps and am a disabled vet due to combat injuries. I cannot believe that this chickenhawk, coward, ignoramus Greg Gufeld was so stupid as to slander Canada's military after all the fighting and dying they have done. I have fought alongside them and have seen them die and be wounded just like us. Greg Gufeld you are an ignorant asshole."
I wanted to say what I would like to do with my size 14 wide combat boot if I ever saw this guy but held back.
From someone who lives 4 blocks from where one of Canada's soldiers is buried.
Caught your meat puppet Gufeld talking shit about the Canadian military the other day.
Was he trying to be funny? We're losing good men and women in Afghanistan right now. 4 killed by IED just the other day.
No, our military isn't as big is yours. Our population is 10% of America's.
Obviously our military budget isn't as large as yours. We don't just print money 24/7 and borrow the rest from China. Fun fact: our banks don't need bailouts. Other countries on the planet that can make the same claim: 0.
We've been fighting and dying in Afghanistan since 2002.
Now you can make fun all you want about mounties, cold weather and fiscal responsibility. Nobody's got a better sense of humor than Canadians. But see, you're fucking with our military now during a time of war. You braying jackasses on FOX seem to be all about respecting Americans who serve. How about extending the courtesy to your allies?
I'm not looking for an apology. If anyone asks me what I think of FOX the answer is: I don't.
wouldn't be big enough to satisfy him
I sent them a love letter too. Mine wasn't that nice though. Looking forward to segment they run on the "Fuck You" e mails they are getting from Canucks.
these people are mind numbingly ignorant and stupid. This is exactly the type of things that make many in the world hate anyone American, and the astounding thing is that they seem proud of that ignorance. I know they don't speak for the type of people here, but this attitude is very common.
To put on a panel to insult America's allies and their culture. And who are these guys trying to be funny? I know the one is a comedian but they have to be the least funniest people I've heard. The moderator sounds like a poor mans Jim Rome trying to do news.
my critical comment on Youtube regarding this clip with this:
"no, they need to make more videos like this about other countries, no matter how good and nice and polite we are to other countries everyone is still going to hate us for almost no reason, may as well give them a reason to hate us."
I won't give the poster credit, but my comment at Youtube is under my same screen name as here.
As a former active duty army officer, and a current army reserve officer who has served with Canadian military personnel in a combat theater, I am absolutely disgusted by these clowns. Not a one of them has spent a day in the military, nor knows anything about the military, and especially the Canadian military. The Canadian military is small (I believe about 30,000 altogether) but highly, highly professional. In many ways they put the US defense establishment to shame. Even if you are a conservative, you should be offended by these asshats. If this panel of morons had done any research, they would know that a Canadian sniper team in Afghanistan holds the world record for the longest confirmed kill (2310 meters, over a mile). They would know that the optempo for the Canadian military matches or surpasses ours - and doing it with less resources, and less personnel). Sometimes I think the description of items posted here get a little on the hyperbolic side, and I thought so maybe this time too, but I was wrong. Revolting.
Quick check on wikipedia: "The forces are today funded by approximately $19 billion annually,[4] and are presently ranked 46th in size compared to the world's other armed forces, and 55th in terms of active personnel, standing at a population of roughly 65,000, not including the 26,000 reservists."
So if you only look at the budget the canadian forces work with, they're doing pretty well...
Blame Canada, with our beady little eyes... (tee he he)
Of course I'm not watching the clip, nor do I care what your punidts have to say. Canada had the good sense NOT TO GET INTO Iraq and Vietnam. I'm very happy for at least that much sense (from Ottawa.)
I'm against us being in Afghanistan. But our "oil guys" are certainly in league with "your oil guys."
Who watches this? It's amazing in its tone deaf cluelessness.
epic fail.
I looked around the net to see other reactions to this toolshed... even about 1/3 of the Freepers think that he's a douchesack for this.
If you think that I will EVER watch your mildly entertaining show again if you allow Crowley back on after this debacle, you are sorely mistaken.
Fuck off in advance.
The 'people' in this clip are retards of the lowest order.
They should be ashamed.
Strongest army in the universe ? Probably. How come the canadians have to go down there to help out? What about the coaliton of the willing ?
Don't tell me these guys are for real ? They must be comedians or something...
The strongest army in the universe which can't defeat "cave dwellers," after years and years of trying? Interesting.
