That’s to say nothing of the economic benefits you nobodies get from being our trading partner. Remember Buy American when your dirtbag PM basically had to beg for exemption. I wonder why?

It’s the network’s low capacity in judgment, letting this stupid program with the low budget hosts that should be to blame or suffer the repercussions and more so, the networks top staff should get involved and do a better job in apologizing!

The American people are our neighbors and our friends! We can’t lose respect for the people or the country just because of what the “FOX NEWS network” represents or how they voice out at anyone including us Canadians.

However, we shouldn’t be enemies with Americans. We should be friends. Canada is USA’s largest trader.

I personally hate the American way of life, but it doesn’t mean I hate America. Yes, there are a hundred reasons why America sucks for those who forgot about peace, but both countries should work with each other, not fight.

I’m proud to be Canadian but I personally think we shouldn’t hate Americans.

Fuck Canada, I would like to know why you think we Suck. We have free health care, we are not in economic disaster and the only people that that hate us is Americans. One day we will not be there for you guys then you will be crying because we dont’ care. Americans will never be happy.

Now on the other hand, the ignorant comments here, well are ignorant.

Canadians come to the US for health care, we come up there for cheaper medicine.

If I am to be considered ignorant, because I am an american, then what are you for attacking my country and way of life?

I served over in Iraq for a grand total of 27 months, and yet people hate me as an american.

Maybe we should deal less with trying to believe one country is better than that other, and focus more on the fact we all need to work together or fall apart.

As far as other countries loving or hating us, are we to now bow to peer pressure of being liked? While many may say we are the bully or whatever else you would like to view us as, do we not tell our children to not bow to peer pressure?

Our new president won the Peace Prize, so clearly we are now on the track to something positive.

I don’t remember canadians being so mad about the movie south park.

Anyway, hate speech is hate speech, the comments here are way worse than anything that was said on Red Eye. Clearly people that hate, will only hate, and no amount of anything will change that.

We may have our problems and people that are ignorant, but the majority of you that posted on here are just as bad and no different.

You took the words from almost all Canadians. I am a Canadian living abroad and when I saw that clip of Fox News insulting our Army and Country I simply went nuts!!! Who do these people (Fox News Red eye Crew) get off insulting Canada. I am in the Aviation Industry and we have had a joint operation mission with the U.S Army, Now something that the Fox News viewers and the majority of the American people don’t know is that when the U.S Army goes into civilian areas they (the majority of the ones witnessed) tear off their American flag patch which is located on their shoulder and put a Canadian Flag patch Yes a “Canadian Flag Patch” on to feel safe !!!!….now what does that tell you about the U.S Army I can imagine all the laughs and jokes to come out on that subject, but the Canadians and the Canadian News Media would never stoop so low to humiliate the American Army……….The only thing the U.S has are toys take that away from them you have a bunch of cry babies. In my opinion where they want war or who they want to invade let them go alone. The world has seen too much violence and wars, what we need are peace makers not peace breakers. The U.S should be blessed and they should be great full to be our neighbors not the other way around.
A proud Canadian God bless Canada.

Your comments and those of your “commentators” were not only an insult to the men and women of the Canadian armed forces but also demonstrate once again the appalling arrogance and ignorance of Americans such as yourself. Let’s take a quick look at American military prowess as seen from a non-American standpoint.

Invade Canada because they have no army? You tried that back in 1812 and got your American butts kicked. The only significant battle that US forces won in that war was the Battle of New Orleans which was actually fought several weeks after a peace treaty had been signed in Europe . And even in this battle, your Old Hickory (was that a reference to his head) depended on the support of a French pirate and his men who betrayed the British. How’s that for an amusing play on Andy’s nickname?

Actually, when it comes to winning wars on your own, the only one you can lay claim to is your Civil War, which Americans of one side or the other pretty well had to win, didn’t they? In the Revolutionary War you had the French to help you. In the Spanish American War, you had the local indigenous populations to help you. Are you finding this amusing?

You largely took a pass on World War One until it was three quarters over and then sent only a token force most of whom saw no action before the spring of 1918. Canada, by contrast put 10% of its entire population in uniform and these men were invariably given the most difficult objectives which they always achieved, unfortunately with the loss of a full 10% of its force - that’s killed, not just wounded. And who were your great heroes? Eddie Rickenbacher who managed to shoot down a total of 26 enemy aircraft in about the same amount of time that the Canadian ace, Billy Bishop, shot down 72. Where did your guys learn to fly? Then there was that hillbilly hick from Bear Creek Hollow, Tennessee named Alvin York. What the hell kind of name is that for a soldier? Alvin ’s a bloody chipmunk’s name! Am I being funny yet?

Of course in World War Two you Americans jumped in when it had only been going on for two years and a quarter years, but you made up for it by taking all the credit. Again, it was mainly the Canadian forces who took the brunt and who were given the toughest assignments in areas like the Italian campaign and at Normandy . Why do we never hear anything from Hollywood about what the Canadians achieved at Juno Beach , generally regarded by most historians, other than Americans, as a tougher objective than Utah or even Omaha Beaches ? Why don’t you American know that the Canadian Division was held back from entering Rome on June 6, 1944 so that Georgie Patton’s ego could be satisfied, his ego and propensity for slapping Privates being his two most outstanding leadership qualities. Are you bozos laughing now? “But we Americans won the War in the Pacific,” I hear you saying. Yes, after the Australians and Chindits showed you how to defeat the Japanese at jungle warfare.

Unfortunately, those lessons in jungle warfare seemed to have been forgotten by the time you got to Vietnam where about the only things American troops did were drugs and young Vietnamese women. Isn’t this just hilarious?

And now you’re going to send an additional 17,000 troops to Afghanistan where, given your extremely limited success in Iraq (another war you don’t seem to be capable of winning), it’s just possible that the Canadian and other lesser UN forces there may feel they would be better off without. You Americans are just a laugh a minute! No wonder the rest of the world loves you so much!

Below is the letter I have sent to Greg Gutfeld of FOX network’s “Redeye”
regarding his comments on Canada’s military and which I will be sending to
my local newspaper. If you are as incensed as I am, please forward it to
others on your e-mail list; if not, or if you are satisfied with his
apology, feel free to delete it..

Peter

Dear Mr. Gutfeld;

As a Canadian, I find your lame duck apology for your despicable comments on
Canada’s military to be totally inadequate. Perhaps you and your ignorant,
redneck audience would find the following to be just as humorous should you
care to share it with them, which I don’t imagine you will.

Your comments and those of your “commentators” were not only an insult to
the men and women of the Canadian armed forces but also demonstrate once
again the appalling arrogance and ignorance of Americans such as yourself.
Let’s take a quick look at American military prowess as seen from a
non-American standpoint.

support of a French pirate and his men who betrayed the British. How’s that
for an amusing play on Andy’s nickname?

Actually, when it comes to winning wars on your own, the only one you can
lay claim to is your Civil War, which Americans of one side or the other
pretty well had to win, didn’t they? In the Revolutionary War you had the

other lesser UN forces there may feel they would be better off without. You
Americans are just a laugh a minute! No wonder the rest of the world loves
you so much!

As I suggested at the outset, I doubt if this will be shared with your
audience (which, by the way, doesn’t and never will include me), but if you
do, I’m sure you will all take it in the humorous vein in which it is
intended. Excuse me now while I extract my tongue from my cheek.

I blame all this on the Bush administration

There was NO apology….if there had have been a real apology it would have made things a little easier as we have to “forgive Dumb animals”. We have to remember to not stoop to their level in our responses as that makes us no better than they are. All 40 million of us remember our soldiers and keep them in our prayers each day for a safe return and thank those who have given their lives to support not only the Canadian people but the American people. Mr. Gutfield I do not know if you have any children but can you imagine their dissapointment in you when they read accounts of what you have done. Why not try and correct this with a true apology for your actions.

Your show should be cancelled and if it is not then FOX does not give a dam about what its programs convey.
Maybe you should carry the coffins as they come out of the planes back home to there families.Maybe then you would understand what sacrafice is you arrogant waste of skin.
You claim it was all a joke.The only joke I can see is YOU.Pretty sad one so called man can ruin it for so many others but that has always been your past.To all the CANADIAN soldiers and there Families.I THANK-YOU FOR ALL YOU HAVE GIVEN THIS COUNTRY WITH YOUR SACRAFICES….I do not take my freedom lightly.I know in my heart how many have died so I can live this life.Pretty sad that some south of the border think it is always about them and no one else is a part of it.Sounds familiar dosent it.Anyone remember NORMANDY. GOD KEEP OUR LAND GLORIOUS AND FREE,OH CANADA WE STAND ON GAURD FOR THEE.
Still the greatest country on earth and the Americans can never admit that.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of our soldiers we have lost. They will be remembered and missed.

I am writting this in regards to your disgusting comments made of the Canadian Forces and Canadians in General.
You may have meant it to be funny but your ignorance has made you look stupid and cold hearted.
As a Canadian Military wife I was really not that surprised to hear Americans talk like that. The majority of Americans are uneducated and ignorant to the world around them, especially the Canadians.
I was asked to comment on your broadcast the other day to CBC news and out of respect to my husband I declined. I will however let you know in a much more respectful way how I truly feel.
You need to get your heads out of your Ass’ and look beyond your borders and really truly try to learn about your only Allies!! Canadians.
And just for the record, Canadian soldiers are far superior to the American soldiers. They are trained better and have more morals.
I come from a long family history of Canadian Soldiers and I am so offended by what has been said on this show.
I am glad the appearance for the one Comedian has been cancelled in Canada. We do not want people like him or you in our country.

Again education is the key to not appearing stupid or arrogant but then in your case I think you all come by it naturally.

Lest We Forget
Nay, we shall never forget, not even for eternity.

Tonight, on our local TV news they showed the families who had lost their loved ones. So please think twice before you make a comment such as that.

Maybe some people should come to the Canadian War Museum to learn a little history about our armed forces.

As it’s been said here already, if you have been a ‘faithful’ patron of the Fox brand poison, then you are who you hate.

Have at it boys! Let natural selections do its thing for the sake of the rest of us please. It’s our families and friends that Share borders, not yours!

What a disgrace.

Clearly if they want to learn how to be funny they need to hire some Canadian comedians.

We even do that better.

How do these morons get air-time?

Oh by the way have you located the weapons of mass distruction yet, if not I can suggest who can be sent to look for them….

Think about it. This program and therefore it’s platform can’t even garner a late, late, late time slot on a crap merchant network dedicated to fear, loathing and ignorance as it’s meat and potatoes. All designed to infuriate LIKE minded (but polar opposites in opinion) reactionaries into pissing matches of Nationalism. And all for what? For the opinions of small minds that don’t matter anyway? Really?

No matter what they say, and don’t kid yourselves, things like this and worse are spoken aloud to audiences on both sides of OUR boarder, division is the ends and divisive hate speech is the means.

Is it so hard to understand that their ends justify the means when they can recruit like-minded bigots on the ‘other’ side to echo the crap message they couldn’t find a market for here in a population of 300 million people? Not only do they win, they ensure the cycle of hate continues and that the amplitude of disgust gets ratcheted up.

By no means am I referring to folks like myself who found this use of media offensive, subversive and dangerous. I believe as you believe, that there’s no room in progressive societies, no matter the size or welfare/warfare dispositions for this level of ignorance in media.

It’s to you few, like their few, who feel the need to fan the flame of the eternally ignorant… To you who can’t help but yell at the mirror, I say Congratulations.. You predictably went beyond the reaction of expected anger and disgust and raised them the future assurances of hatred and intolerance that even Rupert Murdock couldn’t buy.. The cycle is victims of victims. Don’t believe that, then you don’t know your world history either. There are conflicts continuing today that not even the self-righteous know what started.

So to you 23 of 25 like minded folk who couldn’t help themselves but to show just how much you DO have in common with these dim witted, self-loathing narcissists by taking their bait. You’re no better than they are. It shows and that’s a shame. No one has cornered the market on ignorant yet, but keep plugging, you’ll get there.

And by the way, the US? It’s between a declining police state and a welfare state, trying to be all things to all countries without imploding while attempting to recover from one of the greatest hijackings of any country’s political and social ideals by conservative ideological oligargs. All the while getting no investment or credit for turning around its entrenched political culture from it’s neighbors and deserving no quarter from its allies. 1180miles, 1890km South of Hay River NT.

We’ll keep doing what we’ve done in the past, which is Not to become a pariah state but endure to persevere as the prototype democracy with flaws. And if we’re lucky we can, through promoting the ideals that earned us the respect of even the French at one time, aid more diaspora than we create in this frigged up world of hurt feelings and outright crimes of humanity.

As for the rest of the 1300 or so Canadian/Americans that read but thought better than to add their voice this chorus of ‘that’s what you are, but what am I’? kudos.

Or more accurately, Good on ya! I’ll stand with you, beside you and in your place any day, anywhere to smack the dumb out of jackholes like Greg Gutfield and the Rupert Murdocks who ensure they have strings to pull. Because those people don’t know boarders, don’t know cultures and don’t give a crap who you are as long as they can get you to participate in the dissonance that makes their world relevant.

Those of you who want to denigrate my country, military and democracy? You can kiss my ass. I’ve seen your type come, but mostly, I’ve seen your type go. Some day you’ll join the Ann Coutlers and Bill O’Reilys of the world at the funeral march for rotten ideas.
‘mutato nomine de te fabula narratur’

with all hope and sincerity to the rest of you,

mix boarder family, Canadian loving yank from Maine.

I would watch 24 hrs of a turned off TV before watching 24 seconds of this CRAP !

This is one smart Jackass…

I Hope You never travel North you piece of DIRT !

True North Strong And Free…Yeah you wouldn’t understand what I’m saying.

That attitude is the same as all the ‘Archie Bunkers’ of the US & unfortunatly it is too widespread.

Somebody needs to take that whole group and fly them to the base Repatriation cerimony for the latest 4 killed & let them see the ‘respect’ we show our fallen troups on the ‘highway’…. Read More

I’ve never seen any of those Archie Bunker’s show respect for anyone!

And although the comments made by Gutfield were deplorable, they do not excuse some of the derisive comments I’ve read about American soldiers in response to this article. As neighbors, we have made many sacrifices in lieu of the misguided actions of inept world leaders. We cannot argue from the perspective of nationalists. It is time we unite across borders to force our leaders to act in accordance with our wishes instead of those of international businesses.

I guess it is times like this when you know who your friends are.

Before you fire these morons, they should make a public apology to the Canadian people, the Canadian military, and especially to the families of our fallen heroes. Then, they should apologize to the rest of America for giving it yet another black eye!!!!

SHAME on them and SHAME on the FOX network for allowing them to spew such bilge on your nightly program! Don’t you have any standards? Cast your eyes on CNN and you will see news reports that are responsible, respectful, well researched and well presented!

Do the right thing…. And soon!!!

Satire or not, apology or not, the damage has been done, the words have been put out there and you can’t take them back. Better to have thought before you spoke - he should consider himself lucky to be fortunate enough NOT to be suffering the same fate as those fallen soldiers who fought for his freedom and continue to do so in a place only the brave and patriotic dare to go - which by the way - he and his cohorts are far from.

A note to Greg - the Moron:

Sarcasm is the lowest form of Humor and you - The Moron - have demonstrated that beautifully. How you made it this far in the entertainment industry is beyond me. You should all be fired, your producers should be fired and forced to do a round of duty in the military in Afgainistan - let’s see how funny you are then.

Why don’t the Big-Mouths come up here and stand on one of our overpasses on The Highway of Heroes, when our Soldiers bodies are returned home for burial?!?!?! Thousand stop and pay homage. If any of your Loud mouths were caught, they probably be thrown over into oncoming traffic.

Fox has lost a viewer for life and they own Canada an apology!
