What a cunt.


On November 30, as President Bush visited Canada to meet with Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin in an effort to improve the two countries' strained relations, right-wing pundit Ann Coulter and CNN Crossfire co-host Tucker Carlson ridiculed the United States' northern neighbor. On FOX News Channel's Hannity & Colmes, Coulter said that Canadians "better hope the United States doesn't roll over one night and crush them. They are lucky we allow them to exist on the same continent." On CNN's Wolf Blitzer Reports, Carlson stated: "Without the U.S., Canada is essentially Honduras, but colder and much less interesting"; he went on to say that instead of following politics, "the average Canadian is busy dogsledding." And on Crossfire, Carlson referred to the "limpid, flaccid nature of Canadian society."

They even have a video clip on the site. What the fuck is wrong with her?

There there, emu. It'll all blow over when the nuclear cloud blows over and asphyxiates you.

Oh, that's my Ann! :love

[Bobo Adobo]

Whats with the concervatives beating up on Canada lately? I know Canada's government is more "Liberal". But don't we have enough problems in our own country? What the point of ridiculing a them?

[Stabby]

USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!

After the elections, the conservatives can't really rag on the problems of their own country anymore and blame them on the evil liberals, because they're in complete control. Logical course of action is probably to start making fun of nearby countries.

If only Kevin could tame Ann's bile-filled heart.

[Cosmo Electrolux]

I'd love to see some big 'ol lfuzzy headed liberal make Sean Hannity his bitch-boy......and force Ann to give him a blumpkin.....

[AChimp]

It would be fun to see how well the U.S. could operate if we decided to turn off all of your electricity. :)

[Cosmo Electrolux]

I honestly don't understand the Neocons hatred for Canada....I know several Canadians...they're all quite loveable.... :)

[mburbank]

The Neocons know that if they expect to continue ignoring Global warming, they absolutely have to stoke a hatred of Canada.

There is no serious history of a Canada hatred in the USA. If we intend . If we intend to brutally sieze the country when the midwest dustbowl starts and new parts of canada become arable, we need to lay the groundwork now. Hence, statements about how they are 'lucky' for what we 'let them' have, as opposed to them being a sovereign nation and ally. It is nice, though, to see quasi nazis like Coulter coming out of the closet and embracing American imperialsim. It's a nice precurser to conquest.

Hey, lets have a betting pool about how long before we here the phrase 'manifest destiny' unironically reintroduced into the political discussion!

[Bobo Adobo]

"CARLSON: Canada's essentially -- essentially a made-in-Taiwan version of the United States."

:lol

"Doesn't that tell you something about the sort of limpid, flaccid nature of Canadian society, that people with ambition come here? What does that tell you about Canada?" - Carlson

What does it tell you about America, when most rational people or I guess "tree huggin' liberals" have thought of moving to Canada for merely Political reasons?

[sspadowsky]

I wonder if we're about to turn Michael Moore into a prophet? Hasn't anyone seen Canadian Bacon?

[Jeanette X]

Why the Hell are they dissing Canada, of all places?

Of all the countries you could diss, why them? WHY?! WHY?!

I love Canada, its a lovely country with nice people. Go back to diissing the French, at least they are anti-American enough to deserve it.

[sspadowsky]

Well, we must remember that they did inflict Anne Murray and Bryan Adams upon us, not to mention Celine Dion. That alone should be enough to turn Max into a frothing warmonger, hell-bent on Canada's destruction.

[Ninjavenom]

Why would we like Canada? It's cleaner, it's nicer, people don't swear at you for making an honest mistake, and no one fears the black people. What a HORRIBLE PLACE.

[El Blanco]

What does it tell you about America, when most rational people or I guess "tree huggin' liberals" have thought of moving to Canada for merely Political reasons?

What does it say about those people who talked all that shit about going to Canada, but apparently don't have the balls to do it?

And I wouldn't classify them as rational.

Oh, and Coulter is a psychotic bitch? Gee, thats a shocker.

[mburbank]

I'm TELLING you, we want what's going to be their vast, open tracts of farm land. When the overall global temperature rises just a few degrees, sea level rises a few feet and the gulf stream shifts course, the middle of Canada is going to be some of the most desireable real estate on the planet!

You can't just suddenly decide on day to invade a country! You need to lay some ground work, spend a olittle time building resentment and fanning it into outright hatred.

[kellychaos]

Max is right. Hate must become institutionalized. We must find (or make up) some un-American trait in Canadians that would make us hate them and imbed it into our society over a couple of generations ... like that they have tails. Americans hate people with tails and it wouldn't be easy to dispel the rumor.

[kahljorn]

Isn't that the chick who had a pie thrown at her?

[kahljorn]

You'd think having a pie thrown at you in front of everyone, then going psycho about it would be some kind of career ender. How to assassinate a political career: Throw a pie! Perhaps banana cream, because honestly, who can resist a banana cream pie, even if it's on some "Men don't like me so i'll act like an asshole and everyone will like me"'s face.

[FS]

I just had this awesome mental image of Ann Coulter getting invited to speak at some conservative youths convention, then when she begins her speech, everyone suddenly pulls out a pie and pelts her.

[kellychaos]

And then, when the melee is at it's apex ... she slips and falls on her ass ... and, as a conservative, she is wearing a skirt ... her tail is revealed. :irony

[Perndog]

"limpid, flaccid nature of Canadian society."

:lol

Limpid : clear and bright, as in a limpid pool of water.

This makes sense how?

[AChimp]

He wears a bowtie. That entitles him to speak out of his ass. :rolleyes

[Burger Lord]

heh, Like it's really so hard to breed hatred in this country. Everyone now believes Sadam was one of the sept. 11 masterminds and the world is ten times safer.

[Bobo Adobo]

There rational because they "thought" about immigrating because of the Bush Administration. In my opinion actually thinking or reasoning about anything in the US today classifies you as being more rational then a certain half of the country.

Not to mention the process of gaining citizenship in Canada dosen't exactly happen over night. And something more drastic has to happen, like a draft, for people to really start to concider jumping the border.

[AChimp]

Yeah. You can't just pick up and move to a different country within a couple days.

They won't have immigration figures for 8-12 months to see if there's been an increase in Americans moving north.

[El Blanco]

There rational because they "thought" about immigrating because of the Bush Administration.

You have a pretty loose defenition of the word "thought". I'm pretty sure most of them were just being self important assholes blowing smoke.

In my opinion actually thinking or reasoning about anything in the US today classifies you as being more rational then a certain half of the country.

So people who come to different conclusions than you aren't thinking or reasoning? That a person with a different opinion than you is irrational? I may have misread it, but that appears to be what you said.

Not to mention the process of gaining citizenship in Canada dosen't exactly happen over night.

Ya, but no one seems to have started the process, otherwise there would have been a big stir about it. Some Hollywood dope would have called a press conference and started some stupid group to get people to migrate to Canada or whever the hell they feel like.

[Bobo Adobo]

What I meant that the majority of this country, just doesn't think about or question anything. I know I made it sound like just right-wingers, but theoretically I meant people with all different politcal opinions.

Theres sorta is a big stir about it. I've heard many things on TV, and read articles in newspapers about large amount of blue staters wanting to move to Canada. Some Celebrities have spoken out on the matter, but there mostly against immigrating. They have more of a stay and fight mentality.

I think he was referring to all the assholes who voted for Bush with the "Who cares if he runs the country into the shitter, he hates fags just like I do" mentality. If you voted for him because of your own personal reasoning, then fine. Just so long as you don't consider your party to be the "moral majority".

[El Blanco]

Ya, they are talking. No one seems to be doing.

How the heck would you know either way at this point? What, do you think there'd be some grand ceremony at the Canadian border for all of the new emigrants....?

fuck yes! and rush would be there all "i will choose free will!!!"...

You think people would be quiet about it? You don't think some tool is going to make a big deal about how he is "escaping the red state tyrany"? At the very least, the media would notice an increase in applications or inquiries into jumping ship.

[AChimp]

No. The media does not get to listen in on your phone calls or written correspondence.

[imported_I, fuzzbot.]

I doubt Coulter and Carlson really have misunderstandings about Canada. They both make their living by making stupid outrageous statements. They are the professional wrestlers of politics, the dancing monkeys, the parisan hacks.

Personally, I haven't watched enough of Carlson enough on a regular basis to see if he actually has anything to add to the political dicussion, but what I have seen of him he doesn't add much. Maybe Carlson is just not as bad as Coulter, but since Coulter is from what I've seen the bottom of the barrel it's not saying much for Carlson.

Also for the full transcript check of Carlson on Wolf Blitzer Reports go to the following link:
http://edition.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0411/30/wbr.01.html

A closer look shows that Carolyn Parrish certainly was able to hold her own against Carlson and several times shot him down.

[AChimp]

PARRISH: We're a very secure nation because we haven't ticked off the rest of the world. We march with the world. We're not out of step.

Booyah.

[El Blanco]

No. The media does not get to listen in on your phone calls or written correspondence.

But the government or whatever agency is handing out the forms or taking care of this sort of thing will notice a bump.

And again, one of the people actually doing this would be raising all hell about it, just to show how revolutionary they are.

[AChimp]

You must not be reading my earlier posts. The government won't have figures for any potential increase for many months. And any people from the U.S. who apply aren't guaranteed to be let in, either.

[Daphne]

They can say whatever they want about Canada, even if it was true it'd still be better than sharing a country with Ann Coulter and Tucker Carlson.

I just love that they think it upsets us. We're just happy to be mentioned on your news.

[Royal Tenenbaum]

I can basically guarantee that there will be no increase in immigration to Canada. If the US was pissed off enough, people would have just striked, etc. But, George Bush winning really doesn't threaten them enough. It's more of a nuisance to them than anything else.

[El Blanco]

You must not be reading my earlier posts. The government won't have figures for any potential increase for many months. And any people from the U.S. who apply aren't guaranteed to be let in, either.

I understand what you are saying. Those would be official stats with your governments's stamp of apporoval.

I am refering to people in the involved agencies noticing extra activity and going to the media, before any hard data is released.

What do you think polls are?

[kahljorn]

Why are we even arguing about this anymore? The bitch got hit by a pie, only an idiot would still listen to her! HER CAREERS OVER, and the footage of her being nailed by a pie should be aired EVERY FUCKING TIME she talks. In fact she should just have a bigscreen tv permanantly attached to her back with that footage constantly playing. or maybe one in her stomach like a tellytubby, between that and her tail people will be convinced everywhere...

[kellychaos]

Erm... Neocons aren't necessarily the ones guilty of ignoring... nevermind... I got where you were headed despite your flubbed directions.

It'd be pretty easy actually, with or without global warming. I heard Rumsfeld was already sending much cash to those cwazy secessionists, and I think the plan is to work out a deal where we simply extend our border 25 miles (986 km) northward, sneakily annexing 97% of all the livable land in Canada, leaving all the tundra for those fucked up few that would rather prance around on the dole speaking French.

Personally, I'm against it. I'd rather keep the carrot on the stick and leave America junior as the comedian factory it is. We should probably relate whatever entirely sensible tariffs we currently have in place, as well a few extra sanctions we could likely implement, to their lack of anything recent on par with the Kids in the Hall. I think they're still resting on their laurels after the whole Allanis Morrisette thing. We need to send a clear message: Get off your asses, eh! Make us freakin laugh!
