TV DOESN’T GET DUMBER THAN THIS! (By David Frum)
newmajority.com ^ | Wednesday, March 18, 2009 5:53 AM | David Frum

Greg Gutfeld takes the challenge: Can Fox produce a show that anticipates a SNL parody of Fox? The panel discusses the question: should the US invade Canada… and produces something almost as hilarious as the old Half Hour News Hour.

UPDATE:

The clip in question is a sequence of goofs about the feebleness, uselessness and absurdity of the Canadian Armed Forces. Why would I call that dumb? Here's why, courtesy of CanWest News. Sorry I disrespected your show, RedEye fans - but you disrespected the dead. --David Frum

You have now bumped up against my specialty in history.

People did not flee to Canada during the Revolution to avoid fighting. It was after the Revolution, when their property was confiscated, that Loyalists went to Halifax, and from there, some went to London. What were they to do? They lost everything, and British soil was the only place they were welcome.

Don't confuse that with the Vietnam draft evaders. The circumstances were not even remotely alike.

Canadian jump wings in 79.>

Canadian wings cool, I lucked out and picked up German jump wings, which as a student of WWII and having a dad that fought in the war, I thought was a little surreal, especially since the aircraft were still Luftwaffe.

People fled before, during and after the war, my family had members that chose to abandon America’s future promise and choose Canada during that time.

In general the American attitude was good riddance to our losers.

I almost never watch TV. Real life is much more exciting.

No one seems to be talking about the claim that a nation could shutdown it’s military for a year, what is the truth about that?

Don't be silly. We are not shutting down our military.

There is growing concern about Canada's immigration and asylum policies and the risk they pose to our national security

That's a joke, right?

You have allowed millions of illegals in through your southern border, you just elected a Marxist as President, and you are worried about our policies?

That’s correct. Have you read the linked report, which comes from the Fraser Insititute?

“I almost never watch TV. Real life is much more exciting.”


So you don’t even know what the thread is about, what a waste of time.

It is clear that you don’t have the foggiest notion about anything going on in relation to the show or the subject they were talking about. You keep pinging men in the hopes that they will handle the discussion while you bark occasionally.

You said the subject was the Canadian Military shutting down for a year, and asked why it wasn’t being discussed, if you remember.

We are not shutting down our military!

Not all of the people I pinged were male, and you still haven’t answered my question about what genitals have to do with the subject.

This is what I said to you.

"It is clear that you don’t have the foggiest notion about anything going on in relation to the show or the subject they were talking about. You keep pinging men in the hopes that they will handle the discussion while you bark occasionally."

What was the subject of the show, and what do you think of Canada doing that?

I think most conservatives share the view that Frum is a waste of time and that there was nothing wrong with the show.

In other words much ado about nothing.

I think the thread poster might be surprised to see so many Frum supporters crawl out of the woodwork of this conservative site to take up Frums cause and it looks like most of them did not even bother to watch the video they are attacking.

You know, what the subject is on the show segment that you watched and that your man David Frum didn’t like.

Lt.-Gen. Andrew Leslie is just trying to put pressure on the government for more funding.
Our military will not shut down.
David Frum isn't my man.

If we shut down our military in July 2011, you can get back to me then.

Assuming your Marxist government still allows you to communicate with the free world.

All I saw was 5 amateur comedians insult comedy , with a twisting of what the Canadian Forces intend to do , in an pathetic attempt at being funny.

The real dumb thing is that this crap for comedy is actually , apparently , appreciated by an American audience.
