I recently wrote a piece about the jerks on a late night Fox News show called Red Eye that called children who appeared in a Progressive video, little bastards. One of those kids made a video to respond to being called names. Good for her.

When Greg Gutfeld popped onto the scene of Fox News he instantly tried to sell himself as a male Ann Coulter impersonator issuing out insults to liberals at a rapid fire pace. He's the Ken Doll model. Greg once was at the helm of Maxim UK, but didn't last there after the mag lost sixteen percent of its readers and then got sued. He stayed around the publishing industry for a while though. After I saw him do his thing as a guest on Fox, I knew Roger Ailes would find something for him to do over and he was later handed a late night show called Red Eye. And as usual to his particular form of humor sarcasm, liberals remained the butt of his jokes. That's fine, have a good time with it. Although Canada didn't care much for him belittling their troops.

There's something about kids and conservatives though. It drives them nuts if they appear to be linked to anything progressive. A video made as part of the Contract for the American Dream campaign really riled his show up. The idea that progressives want to live in a welfare state, drink brews all day, drive around in pink Cadillacs and never work a day in their lives while living off your tax dollars has been going around since the early days of Ronald Reagan and Tricky Dick, but this segment really turned ugly.

After airing the video -- part of the "Contract for the American Dream" campaign - Fox News contributor KT McFarland said, "These kids are a bunch of dorks." Later, a co-panelist, comedian Joe DeVito, stated of the children, "Those little bastards are making me so angry."

GREG GUTFELD (host): KT, is it OK for -- to use kids to sell a political agenda? Or does it come off as crass to you?

Greetings from Maine! I arrived on a red-eye yesterday to help out Maine's "No on 1" campaign to protect marriage equality. Everyone around here is pumped up, but they just crunched the numbers for their quarterly fundraising goals. As of a few minutes ago they are $112,000 short of the goal.

The reporting deadline is Wednesday at midnight and they need to get to $803,208 on ActBlue. Contribute on the Blue America ActBlue page.

If you need more reason to give, than me just saying they really need the cash (and they do), check out this quote from the other side via the Baptist Press:

"Until this point, our opponents have presented a rose-colored glasses view of homosexual marriage," Stand for Marriage Maine campaign director Marc Mutty said in a statement. "Starting today, Mainers across the state will hear about the real cost to society should traditional marriage be replaced by genderless contracts whose sole focus is the adults involved in the relationship."

Rose-colored glasses? What the heck is he talking about? (Note the use of homosexual marriage, not same-sex or gay) It's simply an attempt to sow doubt about marriage equality "scary unforeseen consequences" boooo!

Repeat after me: marriage is a civil contract. It is a legal binding agreement between two adults. Letting gays get married changes nothing about this.

Mutty is seems to be insinuating that some how kids from straight couples will be effected when the forms people fill out when they get married no longer read "male" and "female" and instead are some version of "party 1" and "party 2". That of course is patently absurd.

The other side is counting on prayer to help them. In honor of Yom Kippur, I ask for you to atone for your sins and promise to make next year even better with a win in Maine. ">Do that by contributing to the No on 1 campaign.

Although funding certainly is critical, Joey Marshall, a local Southern Baptist pastor, says the pro-Question 1 side must not forget the importance of prayer. It's vital to "inform the people in the state of Maine of the dangers of same-sex marriage," he said, but it's more important to pray.

I'm fasting and working. I'm sure you guys can multi-task as well.

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?
