That's probably one of the biggest things I've always disliked about news, sports and any other commenter that base there views, or suggestions on how things should be ran. It's not like there doing anything for the country aside from talking crap. :complain

I don't understand the whole concept of Canadians fighting for something when it's the US grabbing Canada like a puppet telling them if you don't take our side that means...your against us. US and there politics...grrr hate it! :flaming

[SilentJay]

Sad sad state of affairs... Ottawa demanded an appology from Fox. Fox probably has better things to do.

The supposed world-saviour Obama will do little if nothing, about it.

I just realized that ***got on the panel looked like Edge (WWE) :chuckle

[Mazda3X2]

This just goes to prove why the US is viewed the way it is all over the world.

Whenever I have to travel as part of the Canadian Forces I am sure to wear my Canadian Flag pin when in normal dress. It seems most people like to assume you are automatically American by your look and dress. I don't want that to happen.

About 10 years ago a group of 5 of us went to Lynham England to fix an aircraft. One night at a pub we noticed the bartender and waitresses weren't all too friendly. I went to the bar to get a round and that's when they realized we were Canadains by the pin. Right away she was chatting me up and asking tons of questions. What I difference that made. True story, we recieved some drafts on the house and some very positive attention. All was well after that and it really made me think.

[MistaChin]

I read somewhere in the news sometime last year that americans are even buying canadian flag patches to put on their backpacks when they go to Europe. Yeah....very patriotic....

[andyh921]

she was fired from the stupid show because she was told that the show was going into a different direction and she was the first casualty.

They've been doing that for years!! Its best to fly the leaf when in Europe, stripes won't get you many warm welcomes!

[Dave_The_BMXER]

Mind boggling.

[b.rabbit]

"Red Eye" host Greg Gutfeld says his comments "may have been misunderstood" and in no way were meant to disrespect "the brave men, women and families of the Canadian military."

Typical BS. "Misunderstood?" Riiiiiiight.

[MistaChin]

What a crock of shit. Greg Gutfeld knew exactly what he was saying but now he stills blames us that we misunderstood?

For example, lets say:

Me: b.rabbit you're the stupidest person ever
b.rabbit: WHAT? I want an apology
Me: you misunderstood me. I didn't mean any disrespect

Sounds ridiculous doesn't it?!

Not to attack you b.rabbit but you were the last name i saw so i thought i'd put you in the example. lol. This story is too upsetting

Allan Woods
Ottawa Bureau

OTTAWA – The host of a Fox News show has apologized for bashing the contribution of Canadian troops in Afghanistan, saying his “satirical take” on daily news events has been misunderstood.

Greg Gutfeld, host of “Red Eye” was responding to outrage north of the border about a March 17 segment that aired in the early morning hours but sparked a diplomatic flap when it surfaced on YouTube over the weekend, following the death of four Canadian soldiers in Kandahar.

The show’s panelists took a number of shots at Canada and the military, with one saying he didn’t know the country had even deployed troops in Afghanistan.

Another said the only reason the military could pull its soldiers out of the NATO-led mission was because it relies heavily for security on the United States.

Defence Minister Peter MacKay launched the counterattack on Fox’s Gutfeld, saying the comments were in poor taste and requesting an apology.

“I think it is a very limited, uninformed view. It is crass. It is insensitive and it is in fact disgusting given the timing, where Canada is just receiving back four fallen heroes … at CFB Trenton,” MacKay told CTV Newsnet shortly before travelling to the military base where the latest four soldiers to be killed in Afghanistan arrived today.

MacKay said that the views expressed on the show do not reflect those of the U.S. government, which has been effusive in its praise of Canada, nor the “vast majority of Americans.”

Fox offered up an apology a few hours later saying comments on the show were “in no way an attempt to make light of troop efforts.”

“I realize that my words may have been misunderstood. It was not my intent to disrespect the brave men, women and families of the Canadian military, and for that I apologize. Red Eye is a satirical take on the news, in which all topics are addressed in a lighthearted, humorous and ridiculous manner,” Gutfeld’s statement read.

The late-night show, "Red Eye with Greg Gutfeld," featured a panel that took turns bashing Canada. One panelist said he didn't even know Canada had troops in Afghanistan and another said the only reason the military could pull its troops out of the NATO-led mission was because it relies heavily for security on the United States.

A clip of the segment, which aired last week in the early morning hours, surfaced on YouTube over the weekend and kicked off the diplomatic flap.

Dan Dugas, a spokesperson for MacKay, said earlier today that "no one is laughing and they owe Canada — and, more importantly, the families of each one of our fallen heroes — an apology for their ill-informed mistakes."

Canadian soldiers have been fighting in Afghanistan since 2001 and have spent the last four years in the country's most violent region.

Canada has lost 116 soldiers in Afghanistan.

The country has said it will pull out most of its 2,500 troops in Kandahar when its current combat mission expires in 2011.

News of that impending withdrawal, and the army chief's comments that the military would need a year's hiatus to regroup and refurbish, served as the launching pad for members of the Fox panel to mock Canada.

The segment was posted online under the title, "How to Lose Friends and Alienate Countries."

So far, more than 3,000 people have posted responses to the clip, which also makes fun of RCMP officers and their traditional red uniforms.

thanx

[crystal8484]

I am beyond livid, especially with my neighbour having spent a year in Afghanistan and hearing the sh*t he endured... that video makes me so sick to my stomach!! I'm sure my neighbour can tell a few stories that would DEFINITELY make Mr. Talk Show Host understand how much of a dumbass he is!!

Fin. :AH

[Dave_The_BMXER]

I hate forced apologies.

Boss: Apologize or lose your job
Idiot: I love Canada! You guys misunderstood me thats all hugs and kisses!

[whiteomega]

it really defeats the entire point of apologizing if you have to "demand an apology" doesn't it?

Hahaha, not a problem MistaChin, I'm glad I could be of service for your example. :P

But I concur, very upsetting. I wanted to reach into my screen and give every one of them a nice black eye or two.. argh..

[Thrizzl3]

i wonder what the americans would think if we said that about their army..KARMA can be a bitch..

[Fuman]

Apologies like this makes it worse. The guy says something completely unwarranted, then apologies because his boss made him. The dochebag has no back-bone.

The timing of this is very ironic:
1) As the paper mentioned, we lost 4 soldiers recently.
2) Obama is trying to change the image that the US isn't an ******* country.

At the least, this guy needs to be fired.

[Mazda3X2]

These guys should be forced to come up here to Trenton for the next repatriation ceremony like we had yesterday. Very sombering moment when you see 4 caskets carried off a C17.

Let them appologize to that crowd. And all who lined the highway to Toronto, the OPP, fire dept, families etc...

[condor888000]

I dunno, they might be lynched.

[Mazda3X2]

One can always dream...
