My point is that there is a double standard that I'm seeing here. The comments made by Coulter and Carlson were made by two conservative pundits, not American reporters or American politicians.
Meanwhile, Canadian POLITICIANS have said much more hateful and insulting comments about the US (I believe the one lady called us all "morons") and I don't see any outrage about that.
Meanwhile two conservative columnists make a few comments about what is essentially a trade imbalance and add humor that is a bit inappropriate but pales in comparison to the straight insults that have been hurled at our country and its leader by Canadian officials and reporters, and we have a three page thread condemning the conservatives while those that incessantly America bash get off scott-free.
Congratulations, liberal America! You've become the new thought police! Maybe you were right about the Orwellian nature of our future, but I'm sure you never thought it would be YOU imposing it.

Aww come on, Strangler. Why can't we be harsher on ourselves and not on others? All our foreign friends are looking out for us, because we are evil. Remember Abu-Ghraib.
*rants about the evils of Americans*
I mean, really, others like the French only hate us and conspire against us through things like the oil-for-food progran conspiracy. Thats nothing to get angry about. We eat babies and rape women.
