My god...Im sorry but this is just embarassing. That people, espically those who are supposidly learned can say things like this is just...I dont even know how to decribe it.
Just shows that any form of extremism is ultimatly bigotry and idiocy.

Screw Cherry, Chretien would have her choked out in under five.

Wow!

I hope nobody takes these things too seriously.
Well, except for the part about dogsledding. And the part about hating people who speak French, but that goes without saying.

Well, I'm not familiar with the people involved, but I do think they did a pretty good job at bitchslapping her in the discussion.

So, what's all the fuss about? Just some people having a little fun. Sheesh, you guys need to develop a sense of humor.
BTW, didn't you Canadian types petition the Olympic commitee to include dog sledding as an official Olympic sport? And don't you hold the annual Fire Hydrant 500?

On the other hand, those two are political hacks and media whores who capitalize on sensationalism to keep there "opinions" in the public spotlight. No different than say Al Sharpton, or Jesse Jackson. These are people who make a living selling their "spew".

I'd tell them to put a sock in it too, and I know they aren't tounge in cheek with what they say.

Uhhhh... Tucker - tongue in cheek. Coulter - ignorant, plain and simple. At least Tucker can manage to sound clever.

You see, Canadians.... We've already taken over Minnesota and Alaska. Alberta could be next!
I don't think your comparisons are quite accurate. Jesse Jackson, warped though his views may seem to most of us, is a serious politician with a great deal of influence. He rarely says things he doesn't mean, his political groups do serious lobbying in Washington, and he spearheads protests and lawsuits to back up his beliefs.
These two are more in the business of infotainment than politics. Ann Coulter can only be compared to Michael Moore. Tucker Carlson... maybe Al Franken?
The bottom line is that almost none of these comments were meant to be taken seriously (although Coulter is *always* in this mode, so it is slightly possible that she is, in fact, completely serious and certifiably insane). There are serious undertones to the comments, and I can understand if Canadians resent being told how lucky they are to have the U.S. as a neighbor. But the thing that bothers me a little bit is that the website Dee linked does not appear to be aimed at a Canadian or American audience, all context of the comments is removed (google "Carolyn Parrish"), and that this will serve as anti-American propaganda in places where people don't have a clue about the Can-Am relationship.

Sounds perfect to me. They deserve each other. Just make sure he takes his dog with him, to help make his points. :P

The picture didn't show up on the link. Can someone repost the picture? Or link to another site?

Missed the audio portion. Will try again later, some sorta Quicktime buggery.
Ann Coulter. Read a couple of her books, so one sided that a critical mind has a hard time getting through them withoug a lot of breaks.
Is she stupid? No. Narrowminded? Yes. Mean? For sure. Richer than me because being a mean b!tch sells these days, and has since about the days of bra burning? Yep. Likely sculpted by a Hollywood surgeon? I am betting the over on that one.
I might need to dye my hair blond, get an over all body wax, and get seriously mean. I'll keep my gender male, so I gotta sell a new sorta mean BS, since Michael Moore, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hanady, and a few other wags have already got signature styles of mean spirited BS that makes money.
Then I gotta blackmail someone into put me on TV. I may have a face only radio could love, and I do have an ample nose: hmmm, so does Ann.
Presto, I can make some dough. Now, where is that picture of the local politician lying about with . . .
May as well give it a try.

It's Ann Coulter. I, for one, am not going to lose any sleep.
