Fox News' Greg Gutfield apologizes to Canada after belittling their soldiers
Scarce caught Gutfield and his imbecilic Fox News "Red Eye" show making fun of Canadian troops:
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.
Gutfield most have felt the heat because he tried to crawl out from under his comments.
A Fox News host apologized Monday to Canadians in the face of widespread outrage over comments he and his guests made on a late-night talk show.
The statement came hours after a request by the Canadian government for an apology over remarks about this country's military that were described as “despicable” and “disgusting.”
Greg Gutfeld, host of the controversial segment on Fox's Red Eye show, said he never intended to make light of Canadian military efforts in Afghanistan. “However, I realize that my words may have been misunderstood,” Mr. Gutfeld said in a statement released by Fox News.
--
In the Fox News segment, widely aired on the Internet, Mr. Gutfeld said the Canadian military “wants to take a breather to do some yoga, paint landscapes, run on the beach in gorgeous white capri pants.”
“Isn't this the perfect time to invade this ridiculous country?” he said. “They have no army.”
Defence Minister Peter MacKay requested an apology just before leaving for Canadian Forces Base Trenton, where he was to attend a homecoming ceremony with the families of the latest soldiers killed.
“It's crass, it's insensitive, it's in fact disgusting, given the timing,” Mr. MacKay told CTV News.
We just misunderstood Greg Gutfield, who tries really hard at being Mr. Ann Coulter for FOX. Remember when she said this about Canada:
Coulter: No, they need us. They better hope the US doesn't roam over one night and crush them. They are lucky we allow them to exist on the same continent!
And we can't forget Tucker Carlson calling Canada a third-rate country. Gutfield is succeeding in being part of the offensive front of TV talkers, that's for sure.
UPDATE: The Canadians are not impressed, eh?
The Fox Bigotry Channel must be eliminated. They say outright that their sole purpose is to oppose Obama. America can only progress with the breakup and sale of the Fox Bigotry Channel.
Fox exists with the permission of the American people and those of whichever state it's headquartered in. Let's petition for it's charter to be revoked. It's long past time we started dissolving corporations that prey on Americans.
Fox News seems like it has to do a lot of apologizing lately... bwahaha! Not that it means anything. A leopard doesn't change its spots, as they say...
if you read the comments at the Globe and Mail (linked in the above post), most of the Canadian's who are commenting are aware of Fox News and what it stands for.
I am in Canada right now, and as I was watching the news last night, I was deeply saddened listening to the "person on the street" talk about American's and how American's think and feel.
While many know what Fox is and is not, many do not, and it hurts our image, as an entire country, abroad.
Fox News is a disease. An infectious disease which has to be eradicated. Period.
Actually, it's the right-wing that fox represents that is truly the disease.
That was NOT an apology. Not surprising - re-Thugs don't apologize for anything.
These people are obscene. Sewage doesn't even begin to describe them.

What apology?
I agree with Trittydi....repugs never apologize. That's one thing that really upsets me about them.
You know, I've seen Keith Olbermann apologize in person, on air, for some pretty serious mistakes he made. You will never see this from someone on the Faux "News" Channel.

This Canadian didn't misunderstand you or the microcephaloids on your panel. You thought shaking your booty for Rupert on live TV was going to be easy money? Think again, Clownshoes.
Okay - I had to look that one up. Found "microcephalic" - "having a small braincase."
AWESOME!! Sent it to my kids as a word of the day.

My feelings exactly.
I LIKE it!
Goes very well with troglodyte and philistine.
Guest: "I didn't even know they were in the war."
If you were a hockey fan, you snide asshole, you would know damn well they are in the war.
Don Cherry on Hockey Night In Canada uses time on his Coach's Corner segment to recognize every Canadian soldier killed in Afghanistan. And there have been a lot of them. While I have mixed feelings about Cherry, I think it's great he shows a picture of the soldier killed with his/her name and hometown.
How many American networks do that? Name one.
They do it on The Newshour with Jim Lehrer.
Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust.
Nancy Grace does it every night (my Maternal Unit is addicted to her show).
I've never seen change without a fire
Ugh. I wish there were some kind of program or prescription for that.
Well, I guess the recognition of fallen veterans is something to commend Grace for.
I know what you mean! ;)
And yeah, I may not like the woman personally, but at least she does take some time at the end of the show every night to show a picture of a fallen vet, and talks about where they were from, what they loved to do when they were living, and lists the veteran's immediate family...
I've never seen change without a fire
And here I thought Nancy Grace only covered the Caliegh story (the little girl allegedly killed by her mother in Florida). Every time I channel check through CNN, that is the only topic of discussion I have ever seen...even as recently as a week or two ago.
dredged up Natalie Halloway (!!) last night as well. The show rivals the worst Fux has to offer, the reading of fallen soldiers' names notwithstanding.

I gave up on cable news a long time ago, so I didn't know some networks were doing it. I'm glad someone is, though!!
Don Cherry rightly had tears in his eyes talking about the fallen Canadians during a game I watched last month. Can you say slimy fucking piece of shit on this site because that's what this guy is. Sorry Canada from Chris Anchorage Alaska. When is enough enough for this country.
Greg Gutfeld, host of the controversial segment on Fox's Red Eye show, said he never intended to make light of Canadian military efforts in Afghanistan. “However, I realize that my words may have been misunderstood,” Mr. Gutfeld said in a statement released by Fox News
That's almost as good as the old stand by "I apologize if my comments offended anyone". It's not an apology, but rather puts the blame on the person/people who are offended, and relieves the offender of any responsibility. They think we're stupid.
Man smart, woman smarter.
You pegged it exactly - this is just another non-apology apology, from the latest mouthbreathing ignoramus on Faux. "gee I'm 'SORRY' if you *think* what I said was something _you_ didn't like or might be offended by!" (In other words: I'm sorry I actually got called-out on something I said, and F- you anyway..).
Quite a collection of characters in that video! Reminds me again why I almost never view any Faux News vid's posted to this site, and why I've pretty much stopped listening to AM radio at all - the same lack of knowledge, depth or intellectual (..ha!) curiosity.

"..Waiting period?! But I'm mad noww!!"

Canadian TV stations are reporting about the apology. You can see it in their faces that they consider it pretty lame, and are doing their best to keep a professional appearance when talking about it.
Every broadcast I watched followed the "apology" with coverage of the start of the latest journey down the "Highway of Heroes".
They most decidedly think we're stupid. Which is why they lost the election.

That is exactly the same thing BillO, Hannity, et al do when caught in a verbal pickle.
It is the "asshole" apology, and you nailed it.
Agreed. How could anything he said be "misunderstood"??
If a drone kills a child in Kandahar, do the crying parents make a sound?
It's the way with bullies.
"Oh I'm sorry that your nose hurts when I put my fist into it!"
It's become obvious that traditional media players like FAUX "News", the AP, and so many others are going to keep making shit up and splicing video in order to continue to push their narratives. I just can't believe that they will ever change as long as they are making money doing it. This isn't news and it isn't fact. Most of it is demonstrably fiction, presented in a deceptive way.
I propose that when such an organization behaves in such an irresponsible manner, they should lose their press credential. What if Canada refused any FOX media the required Visa? What if the FOX White House correspondent showed up to work and didn't have a seat in the press room? Nations and governments, including our own, should not be beholden to these people, nor should we continue to give them access to continue their character assassination of whomever they are pissed at this week.
Stephen King doesn't have a White House press pass. Why does FAUX "News"? Both are fiction writers. If I had a neighbor or a co-worker who spread false and slanderous rumors about me in a malicious manner, I sure as hell wouldn't give him or her any more opportunity to do it again.
Barack Obama: Change we can only imagine
You were very clearly understood, Gutfield! You clearly intended to be every bit depraved and disgusting as you were!
I join with our Canadian commenters in solidarity and think Gutfield can take his pathetic non-apologetic apology and shove it up his *self-censored*!
I've never seen change without a fire
Vomitous. Re-Thugs don't do apologies. Their chronically immature egos can't handle it.
*
Not only is Gutfield not a man, he ain't no adult either!
I've never seen change without a fire
Yeah, as I watched this I kept thinking, "how old is this guy...12?' He's a low rent Dennis Miller, and thats starting out at sub level.
As I said in my email to Fox & to 'Red Eye'...it doesn't matter if you choose to apologize...apologies are a dime a dozen these days.
The ignorant yahoos who participated in this particular show care only about getting attention in whatever manner they can.
They are, obviously, not interested in being informed...nor does compassion seem to be something they consider 'useful' to their own personal gain.
As for the audacity of claiming to be 'misunderstood'...again, totally & absurdly arrogant. Just because a corporation, without values, chooses to pay you a salary, does not mean that you possess any form of intelligence or humanity.
We, out here, do 'get it'...and there is nothing to 'misunderstand'.
If you are capable of stepping out of your own ego, for even just a second,...imagine if a Canadian broadcast had gone on about the American Military, Americans, and the U.S. in general, as you chose to do...well, you just might understand our outrage.
Take responsibility...your wimpy & pathetic response means nothing.
Aw man, thought he was gonna be a man. But no, he was merely "misunderstood".
No, we "understand" you just fine, fuckpants.
I know others have said as much, but that is not an apology.
Is there a word for something a person says when he/she gets called out for being an offensive ass and he/she is embarrassed/savvy enough to realize that he/she should say something because everyone thinks he/she is an ass, but he/she lacks the fortitude/integrity/human empathy to apologize?
It usually goes something like, "I never intended to make light of peoples' culture/sacrifice/mothers; however, I realize that my words may have been misunderstood..."
At least we could get a non-apology from the other three douche-cicles on the show. I watched that clip yesterday, there's no way I'll look through it again to find the long-haired one's name. Let's just call him Douchey McWhorepants. Can we get a pseudo-apology from Douchey?
The Prime Minister of Canada has said that Canada is a third-rate country
Harper still has his face firmly planted between Bush's butt cheeks. He is still coming to grips with the fact that George is no longer master of the universe.
and where? If you can supply a video link I'm pretty sure I can end his political career. I'm not holding my breath though.

This kind of weasel-wording like- mis understanding (failure to understand correctly; mistake as to meaning or intent)-
You said…………
"wants to take a breather to do some yoga, paint landscapes, run on the beach in gorgeous white capri pants."
Wow sounds like we didn`t misunderstand--sounds like you really are a
total slime ball.

Hearing this must really hurt people like McKay and the rest of the Tories; since they'd taken great pains to emulate the Republicans Ol' Gutbag there worships.
But don't waste energy getting for us (although it is re-assuring), we've got our own meatbag neo-cons to deal with. :)
These idiots are a perfect example of the term "Ugly American." All of them. The very reason that the United States has lost the repect of the rest of the world. I'm sure that Canada knows that these fools are the dregs of American society.

Dear Canada,
Sorry for all the right-wing asshats we have living in our country.
If it's any consolation, most of us hate them too.
Sincerely,
Blue Demon
I'm very sorry too, Canada!
Much love,
Annaleigh

Canada is a great country with great people. We wish our country would learn from your example in de-emphasizing militarization and having a little sanity in foreign policy. Please excuse the integrity-free paid minstrels on this show and pretty much every show on Fox. Thanks for all the good hockey players too.
Don't forget the beer! Molson XXX....good stuff!
We appreciate all of the support we're getting from everyone.
It truly warms the heart!
I fight with Concerned Canuck all the time and we both say dumb things about our opposing nations...but I surely don't mean it and I don't feel that he does either.
These people have so much hate building inside them that they lash out at everyone, and I'm embarrassed that in the spirit of the first amendment we must give our very worst representatives forums.
Again, I'm sorry.
and thanks.
Hey, we may have differences in opinion sometimes, but lively discussion is always good!
Cheers, LeftandLeft!
Yes, calgarylady, I so agree. It is incredibly heartwarming to see all the support & compassion from, who we know, are the real American people...those with heart.
We in Canada, never doubt that we have friends & allies in the U.S.
The problem isn't Americans...It's those who would deliberately misinform them, then simperingly pretend that their tittering 'satire' was 'misunderstood'.
America is a great country, yet one with real problems that mirror those of its peoples...And it has been poorly served by its leaders in the last decade. The rest of the world not permanently mired in Anti-American rhetoric would prefer to see the better impulses of your nation triumph over such witless pandering, IMO.
We have quite an interesting array of asshats of our very own.

the states
i think their parliament should ban fox from all systems
hit them where it hurts...in the pocket book
I would hope the providers would do it voluntarily but your suggestion is okay too.
that if Gutfield had said these exact things about Rush Limbaugh, he'd been groveling at least, and committing seppuku at most, but is unwilling to give these brave Canadian soldiers and Canada that same courtesy??
I've never seen change without a fire
the offender would have no choice but to resign.
Having said what he said, and having enabled the subsequent insulting inanities, Gutfeld should now have forfeited any claim to the public attention, should have recognized his own culpability in the calamity, and taken his severance pay and started a landscape company in the Hamptons...
He never intended to make light of Canadian military efforts. We misunderstood what he meant. So, I guess this is all a big joke. He really didn’t mean anything by it.

Fieldgut lizard brain speak, brain not hear.
link to the Yahoo Canada story about it. I've never seen a Yahoo Canada story reach 3000 comments before, and I see that Doug "dude, I didn't even know Canada was in that war" Benson has had to cancel his scheduled gigs in Edmonton Alberta next week. There's a Canadian Army base in Edmonton, and I think he was afraid some Canadian soldier might break his pedicured foot off in his ass if he showed up.
I just realized, that's the dude from "Super High Me". I thought that movie was pretty good, but this is totally unbecoming. Where is his apology?
looks like this is going to cost him a little cash anyway.
http://www.ottawacitizen.com/news/Comedian+Ed...
I wouldnt worry about it too much-his show looks like it sucks. It'll be off the air in 6 months.
It's clearly not doing any good for anyone except bad people. Let's dissolve it. Fox only exists because "our" (theoretically) government allows it.
You're a pussy, Gutfeld. Now go talk your sissie bullshit to a woman Canadian solider...she'd beat your ass and make you suck your own miniature dick.
Fox NetWork has really gone far down the ladder to have allowed this any airtime period. We do get Fox here in Canada, and we did hear the outrageous disrespect shown our county, government, not to mention our service men and women.
We stand up for our military and our country, perhaps the 3 on that panel at the Foxnews Network should appreciate that Canada is in the fight, the US led war on terrorism and the fact that we came along side in at a time when most of the American troops were in Iraq. Canada may not have the budget and numbers to support the financial commitments for military upgrades that the USA does but, we are making a signifigant contribution in this US led war on terrorism. Maybe this journalist and his counterparts should visit the frontlines in Afgahnistan where our Canadian men and women are serving and walk in step with them on the front lines to see just exactly what they are doing, it might serve to change their bloodly disrespectful tunes. In view of the fact that 4 more of our young men came home today in boxes after making the ultimate sacrifice in fighting this war by paying with their lives, it certainly goes against my Canadian grain to hear and watch such disrespect. In my humble opinion it doesn't take much intellect or prove any degree of intestional fortitude to sit behind a news desk and tear apart an ally's contribution! I cannot believe such stupidity was even permitted to air! Canada has never shurked her responsibility in the past and she won't be doing so after 2011. Shame on you Foxnews! All 3 on that panel should be required to make public appologies to Canada. It is my opinion as a Canadian military wife that we absolutely deserve it!
It's like Real Time...except with stupid douchebags. Even referring to the guys last name as faggy. Kinda makes the Obama laughing at himself look like the smartest move in history.
Time to wrap up this experiment called Fox News. It didn't work. Let's move on.
It was an extended snarky rant that they all piled on and thought was funny. It was disgusting. No apology would cover it. Gutfield should be out of a job.
I'm going to toot my own horn. I have a blog persona named Squeezychortle. Anyhoo, when this idiot's show went on the air, I posted a nasty review. And he put a quotation from it on his website to show how "cool" he was. But, no, he's a douche. Check it out:
http://www.dailygut.com/index.php?i=1956
What's funny is that this was then reviewed as the only thing funny on the website (together with the other reviews):

He said he was somewhat “acerbic” at school—never a bully, but often accused of being one. . .
He got along best with mentally challenged kids.. . .
. . .“Once you decide that you are an idiot or fool, you have the ultimate freedom to do whatever you want. It actually allows you to be smarter …. I’ve been a fool all my life.”
I can't over a panel of queens trying to slam a general's last name as being feminine. Listen to Gutfeld talk, she's as gay as a goose! What a fucking riot! The only p*ssy that queen's ever seen was her momma's at birth! And the long haired queen sitting next to the bleached blonde, omg, Mary hello!!! It would be like that youtube queen, the one who says leave Brittany Spears alone, trying to slam Wesley Clark for being effeminate because his name is Wesley! These queens are toooo much! Red Eye, is the name of Gutfeld's segment? I'll bet her "eye" IS red after being worked over all night by a big c*ck! Hahahaha! Too funny!
How big of C&L to post the actual apology.
Oh wait, you just reposted the original video. Nevermind.
Reading comphrension, try it sometime!
There is no video of the apology, the apology was in a written statement, not on air. And you would know that if you looked at the entire post!
I've never seen change without a fire
Bwahaha, yes, I'm an idiot. Apologies.
It's ok, no worries! At least you apologize for real! ;)
I've never seen change without a fire
I think all Canadians reading this should e-mail or otherwise contact their cable provider strongly requesting that they drop the Fox channel.
I'm contacting mine at www.Shaw.ca and invite all Americans and Canadians to send Shaw (who provides cable services to much of Canada) an e-mail asking them to take Fox off their service offering.
After that pathetic attempt at an apology, maybe the whole cast of that show should be forced to follow the next caravan down the Highway of Heroes. Get a real look at how Canadians respect their military.
It would have to be unannounced, in an unmarked vehicle though. Otherwise, I think there would be a shortage of tomatoes in Canada.
a tomato. However I recently completed my post-winter lawn deturding and am in a position to let these black sheep know that I do,indeed, possess three bags full.

How does a smug jackass like this get his own show, even at 3:00 a.m. on the dung pile that is Fox News? Who the hell is this guy? Are we supposed to know this dipshit from somewhere? Is he the deadbeat boyfriend of Roger Ailes' daughter? Dick Cheney's former chauffeur? A contest winner? Dennis Miller's dry cleaner? WTF?

Gutfeld's show is one of the worst shows on television right now. I have never seen a show where the host and his guests are so desperately trying to be hip, snide, funny, and edgy. The forced banter is so achingly bad. His comment about Canada was blatantly uninformed and stupid (this is Fox "News" after all), but regardless of that, his show is still the worst show I've seen in a while. It's like a train wreck that keeps happening every 20 minutes.
The brains at Fox (if they exist) mustn't like the show very much as it airs here in NYC at 3AM. It doesn't air at all during the day. So maybe they'll use this as an excuse to cancel Gutfeld's sorry ass.
The moron obviously knows nothing of history. He doesn't know what happened the last time the US invaded Canada, in 1812 - and doesn't know that the US invaded Canada, precipitating the war.
A Canadian once told me, "The US sends soldiers to other countries to start wars, and Canada sends soldiers to other countries to stop them." That actually matches up; peacekeepers were a Canadian invention. Or to quote Osama bin Laden's open letter to the US, why didn't he attack Sweden or Canada?
A quote from a wonderful Canadian talent regarding this latest (and I'm sure not the last) Fox fiasco...
"They should be ignored," said political satirist Rick Mercer, who hosts his own show on CBC. "If you're going to do satire, three of the most important rules are you have to tell the truth, you can't be a bully and don't be an asshole," he said, adding: "Being a bully is not satire."
Thank you Rick for weighing in.
Mr. Mercer is completely correct. Unfortunately, his wisdom is lost on the Faux News clowns; many of them confuse bullying with satire, and Gutfield is just one of them, sadly.
I've never seen change without a fire
I love him.
Rick once had Pierre Berton, a noted canuck author and broadcaster, on his show to demonstrate the correct way to roll a joint.
http://www.geist.com/findings/how-roll-joint-...
As a veteran myself, I'm not too impressed with his back tracking...
get him outa here.. please
Him? Don't you mean catty queen?
that Colbert and Stewart do it all the time. However they are on a comedy channel and fox news is well a "news" channel. Or a "newsie-like" channel anyways.
Stay classy FOX
The level of most conservatives' humour is basically that of the guy in Junior High that made fun of your name or appearance. It never evolves from that point. It is their only schtick. They are permanent children.
[Deleted-Sitemonitor]
One hopes Rick Mercer give these clowns a lesson in satire next Monday.
He also had Margret Atwood another noted Canuck author give tips on goal tending http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkkwEXi-zZI. I do hope our American friends on here will check Rick Mercer out, he's brilliant. Perhaps some good can come out of this and Rick Mercers audience will grow.
and Ms Atwood rocks too.
Cat's Eye was one of the books that left the biggest impression on me in highschool. Amazing. I've read it three or four times.
Oryx and Crake is outstanding and so disturbingly prophetic that I have never been able to get it out of my head.
I've read all of her books. Her poetry, short stories, everything.
R.I.P. Natasha Richardson. Her performance in The Handmaid's Tale is outstanding.
Margaret Atwood is a sociological and culturally insightful genius.
He had a segment where he got Mike Huckabee to congratulate Canada on building a new national igloo to house the Canadian Parliament. To think that this man was considered as potential presidential material goes a long way in explaining Bush.
.... everytime the French army was ridiculed, mocked, or bashed since 2001. Double standards, anyone?
But that was in the early days of the liberal blogosphere so lots of people didn't see it.
by a routine bashing of all things French, which became an outlet for Americans' frustration and agressivity. And the liberals were no exception.
WRONG.
WRONG.

Apparantly you aren't very familiar with the culture here in the United States. Sorry you have such a misguided opinion.
I talked about 2001 and not 2003. duh.
So I am WRONG WRONG WRONG? Yeah, after all I was only a French person living in the US at the time, so, what do I know about french bashing.
All my liberal friends and even not so liberal friends stuck up for the French and laughed our asses off at the scary freedom fries crowd who didn't even get the point that fries were originally made in Belgium.
Those far-right idiots made asses out of themselves on a global scale.
WWI gave us French (Belgian Fries) and cigarettes. The story I heard is they saw Turkish soldiers rolling cigarettes because they're tobacco rations were tighter.
I still would've though it be more 19th century though.
Diabolus est Deus Inversus
I don't think the liberals ever bought into it, but may've used it as a springboard to ridicule the conservative crowd with their liberty fries, liberty toast, liberty sex (if they could get any.)
And if your French wassup with the Viking nom de'guerre?
Diabolus est Deus Inversus
Good catch, ysb. :P
Are you talking about my user name?
Hajnal is my middle name, given to me by my hungarian father. It means "dawn" in english. Has it ever occured to you that not all French are called Pierre or Isabelle, and that many of us are sons and daughters of immigrants?
If you're american, why are your using "your" when you should be using "you're"??
And no need for an apostrophe between "de" and "guerre", by the way.

At least I have my La Vie Les Cerises bon bons, my Marius Fabres of Marsailles Mimosa soap, and Pre de Provence Verbana bath beads, which I alternate with Pears and Radox. Of course in any case I use Pinaud-Clubmen for all my shampoo and grooming needs.
Funny thing, during all that French hoo-haw, Clubmen put on their website that they were an AMERICAN company (although the scents still come from France.)
I do remember liberal sites here being besieged by trolls bad-mouthing France, and I'd be trying to explain most of Western Europe would be Islamic now if it wasn't for Charles Martel at the 8th century Battle of Tours. I had to explain from one source I had that the French may've distracted right before the German invasion by an internal scandal involving murder, blackmail and a major credit union.
(Do you know the name of this credit union? I've forgotten, but it was in a library book on the history of France.)
And it sounds like once invaded they deliberetly split their army between Vichy and DeGaulle, the latter of whom help support the resistance that helped paved the way to D-Day.
It's my understanding that Napoleons forces occupied German states in the early part of the 19th century, and the Germans held France soon after the reign of King Louis-Phillipe, but French history at that point becomes complicated with the Republicans, the emperors, the Communards, the Catholics, the monarchs, and the Bourbon Restorations all vying for power.
Diabolus est Deus Inversus
I got it now; it was called the Stavisky Affair (I always want to spell it Stravinsky.) It looks like there was a six year gap before the Nazi's invaded, but the scandal brought discredit to the French Credit Union, the Third Republic, and brough French anti-semitism to the forefront (Alexandre Stavisky was Jewish), that the Nazi could exploit.

Diabolus est Deus Inversus
France has seen a lot of emigration over the centuries. The Hungarians started coming in from the Hapsburg Empire between 1848-1867.
There was a lot of Polish and Russian emigration, too. And the first President of the Third Republic was Marshal Patrice MacMahon, whose family were Scottish Jacobites who settled in France after the Glorious Revolution in what became the UK.
Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust.
I remember reading something about that Scotsman. Wasn't he presented as a war hero, and a man of the people?
Fortunately he didn't run with a woman claiming she could see America from her front porch.

Here's a famous quote from McMahon:
"Typhoid fever is a terrible sickness. Either you die from it or you become an idiot. And I know what I'm talking about, I had it."
I wonder if boosh has.

Why hasn't Gutfield served in the military? Born on Sept 12,1964 he was only 26 at the time of the First Gulf War,and 37 at the time of 9-11!
I wonder if it has something to do with; "Don't ask,don't tell?"
Don't infer homosexuality on him. It insults gay people, especially the tens of thousands who serve in silence.
For Gutless, "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" means "Don't ask me to serve because I don't want to tell you I'm afraid! Waaaaah!"
what they intended. Ratings. It's the Annie Coulter school of broadcasting. Say stupid things to get people yapping. Matters not if it's offensive, just as long as it gets the attention of worldwide audiences. And it did.
Insulted? Not I. I've always felt our troops should NOT be Afghanistan chasing camel dung around. It's a waste of time and lives. If ever there was a valid reason for the incompetent Harper government to say "enough is enough" and call our soldiers home, this is it. Canada, and every other nation in NATO, did not go into Afghanistan to chase the Taliban. They were never the intended target, just a lofty excuse to stay.
Oh, and Faux? In the words of your hero Dickhead Cheney, "go f*ck yerself"
I thought yesterday that maybe our Harpo government should just say "Fuck it" and leave Afghanistan now. The arseholes at Fox should actually see consequences of their shit spewing.
Well, according to Billshit O'Reilly he did see consequences when he called for a boycott against France and the Paris Business Review stated that there were resulting negative effects on the French economy. Ha ha. What a friggin' liar.
Only time Faux apologizes is when they get caught and hammered online .
Gutlessfeld looks like the type of guy id like to boot in the balls.
Since he has none, you'd be kicking air. Don't waste the energy.
And don't worry, my Yankee friends, I'm not convinced for a second that any other than the brainless among you took that motherless prick seriously.
I wish they hadn't cancelled that asshole Benson's comedy routine in Edmonton next week. He'd have been shitting his teeth out for days.
means of apology, in addition to the simple words "I'M SORRY," that are acceptable, IMHO.

suddenly seems to have a whole new allure to it.
Perhaps it has something to do with a mass yearning for honor.
I can't imagine anyone going so far but just for someone, ANYONE to stand up and say "I did it and here is how and i am so humbly sorry", while suddenly having a complete breakdown at our feet with a list of names, records, details, a trail to the catacombs of these freakin financial instituions; that kind of thing.
I can dream.

So I guess that I'm the asshole for "misunderstanding" his "edgy" comedy. Here's what I understand: Fux News and all the lowlifes associated with it are simply beneath contempt for catering to the ignorant mouthbreathers (like them) who patronize it. If, in fact, they are the most popular "news" network in the US, your country is in even deeper trouble than you think. Bigoted, insensitive and stupid is no way to go through life. I may also add that any show on any network that includes that simpering hemline Monica Crowley should also be quarantined for the rancid BS she promotes and spews.
Fox News is now the Face of America. They have the ratings and many Americans support their view. We have become a Nation of users and liars. We feed off each other as you see with AIG. Our Law Makers are complete idiots and will sell the citizens out for a dime. This comment is one of many made by paid Host on US TV Networks. We call our President racial names. We support Bush the War Criminal and Cheney who set up an assassination squad in 2002 to kill anyone he thought would disrupt his plan to invade Iraq and any World Leader he felt should die. We see how the TV Networks are the example for our children to follow by cursing lying and blaming others. We're so sick the GOP wants to IMPEACH President Obama for helping Americans recover from the Economic mess, while eveyone sit back and watch Bush steal this country blind and illegal invade Iraq and murder 151,000 innocent Iraq people as they slept in their beds on March 20, 2003. Yes it's said Saddam killed up to 50,000 people and he was tried and killed for it. What does this say about Bush/Cheney who killed 151,000 people, tortured 100,000 men/woman/children and displaced 5 Million Iraq people from their homes. If McCain/Palin had gotten in office it would be the US that would be easy to walk in and take over.

whoa.. feel better now?
I'm a citizen of the USA and I'm writing my dissertation on the First World War.
I am also a pacifist, and don't make a habit of praising the military prowess of some abstract construction like a nation-state.
That being said, the soldiers of the Canadian military are and always have been bad-ass. Their actions in WWI alone are enough to guarantee them a permanent spot in any list of the bravest, toughest and most effective fighting forces in history.
I am bitterly sorry for the disparaging remarks made by these people, who get paid to be uninformed assholes on TV, and who seem to be trying their hardest to live up to the stereotype of the "ugly American."
this sickens me...as a 18 year old canadian soldier the fox red eye chan. should be ashamed. Our regular troops out perform the americans special forces. i did a ecerise with the nany seals in newfoundland n they were that far behind us during the operation we had to stop and wait for them..if the canadian forces had the funding like the usa...we might be dickheads just like them to...red eye chan. go fuck yerselfs
