Jesus_lol Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcJn5XlbSFk"]Fox News being jerks.[/url] "After 116 Canadian military personel have given their lives in Afganistan. Fox news belittles and mocks the Canadian military. Claim they did not even know they were there. These are the people who keep Americans up to date and mis-informed." wow, talk about idiots on TV alienating entire cultures. this is why canadians and most people hate fox news.

TotusTuusMaria Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 ooo that first phrase is warning material i am thankful for all those who have sacrificed their lives in Afghanistan... including our little Canadian friends. Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihil Obstat Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Canada's role in Afghanistan should never be understated; we've very much taken on an important and high-priority mission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didacus Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Canada took on one of the most dangerous regions of Afghanistan; a region that no other nation wanted or dared, and we're sticking it out for better or for worse. I think we deserve the world's respect, let alone the respect of the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmotherofpirl Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 The guy is being an idiot and playing for laughs but its sad that your country will not repair your military assets. Its about to happen here since Mr Obama will do his best to destroy our military every chance he gets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theologian in Training Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Doug Benson, the first guy is known as a comedian. I really have never found him funny, despite two losses on "Last Comic Standing." As others have said, they were looking for laughs at Canada's expense.

whatsup Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Canadians have made fun of their military for so long, its no wonder Americas are left wondering if Canada even has one. So the fact that they are in Iraq probably would be unknown to most. Since many comedians popular in America are from Canada its no wonder that the mainstream view is that Canada has a military force that's no more signfigant than a pack of boyscouts trying to get their Eagle badges. However, I know Canadian military men who truly are dedicated and devoted. But neither America nor many Canadians respect them. And Obama probably wants to destroy the armed forces...its no secret. That, however, started with Clinton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatherineM Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Last night on news they said that per-capita, Canada has lost more troops in Afghanistan than the US has lost in Iraq. Plus, all Canadian soldiers are citizens, and right now a large % of the US military are not US citizens. Not to lesson any sacrifice, but as an impact on the society at large.

BG45 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 (edited) A comment on the vid from Duis: Wow. Unbelievable. I can't even begin to describe my disgust. If this had happened in Germany all hell would break loose. Don't you americans have some kind of controlling instance? to remind the media that they have a responsibility? No, fortunately we have a thing called freedom of the press. It allows Fox News to continue it's completely biased agenda all on its own. Even if that agenda involves downplaying the heroic sacrifice of those that would come to our aid. Fox can get away with any number of outrageous claims like that we need to invade Canada; no one else would get away with half the trash Fox does (except perhaps MSNBC). Overall the video showed utter ignorance and stupidity; just what I've come to expect from Fox News sad to say.

XIX Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Wow. geez. I don't watch TV, but from what I've read Fox News has gone off the deep end bigtime. Sad. At least liberal media outlets say stupid things that are somewhat popular. If that makes any sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know, people can get so focused on what they believe in, they lose all sense of decency. What they said was ignorant.
