DrGreenthumb Posted September 2, 2010 Report Posted September 2, 2010 Is he purposely acting like a hick? I've never heard him talk with an "ol west" accent before. Is he trying to reinforce the urbanite view of rural people as half wits? Or is he hoping that this will go over well with his base? Does he think they are idiot hicks who will identify with him? I don't like the guy, but seriously he seems to be delibrately trying to look like a dumbass.?? Quote

Radsickle Posted September 3, 2010 Report Posted September 3, 2010 There's a definite, false `twang' to this half-wit's message. Sort of like how those fake new-country singers exploit the accent. Quote
M.Dancer Posted September 3, 2010 Report Posted September 3, 2010 Couldn't tell where he was from from his accent, other than he wasn't fropm Quebec, Toronto, The Gatineau, Pembrooke, Ottawas Valley or the Atlantic provinces.

I think you all are just stretching the crap out of your point, trying to manufacture a cheap laugh at someone you don't like anyway. Seems kinda "high school", if you ask me!

I don't hear any accent but he is playing up the wannabe cowboy for the rural crowd standing up to those nasty city slickers from T.O....sadly there are plenty of rural idiots that will eat this shit up...

Keepitsimple Posted September 3, 2010 Report Posted September 3, 2010 Br. Greenbum......I can't see anything wrong with this guy's accent at all....and it's clear that this particular YouTube is a bit of a spoof....you can hear the silly little Liberals chortling in the background. If you have an interest, you can find many other James Bezan videos on YouTube talking about various Parliamentary issues. The only "cowboy" one I was able to find was this one: Link: Quote Back to Basics
PIK Posted September 3, 2010 Report Posted September 3, 2010 That is what I like about this goverment, the left goes looking for scandal and they come up with this??? I love it, so refreshing from a time not to long ago, when scandal actually meant something, because the lib party was one big scandal.

Pliny Posted September 3, 2010 Report Posted September 3, 2010 He is so much a wannabe...he even owns a cattle farm...such a phoney!!! I knew I would get a good laugh if Dancer was here.

Radsickle Posted September 12, 2010 Report Posted September 12, 2010 He is so much a wannabe...he even owns a cattle farm...such a phoney!!! I might have mistook the lisp for something else but owning a few head of drugged-up cattle is no excuse for a half-wit politician to torture a horse and play cowboy for a few minutes in an awkward photoshoot to promote a regressive political message. The long-gun registry is a good thing and... `That's a fact, Jack!' Quote

Wild Bill Posted September 13, 2010 Report Posted September 13, 2010 how can one not be impressed with the imagery... with the way Bezan strokes his Woody! Keep up the good work, Waldo! As long as folks like you keep insulting westerners the longer it will be before the Liberals have any chance at all of gaining any support. Are you sure you're not secretly working for Harper's boys, like the Florida drug lords who bribe politicians to keep drugs illegal, thus ensuring their skyhigh profit margins? Admit it! You're more than smart enough to know that a suave, urbane, highly educated city guy like you insulting a prairie person will guarantee Tory votes!

Admit it!

What truly confuses me though is why Bezan pulled his original video... why we need to suffer through the dubbed background snickers within this video that managed to be captured before the original was pulled. Perhaps you could comment on why the original video was pulled... surely Bezan didn't believe his video could/would be interpreted as insulting. Waddya think, Wild Bill - why did Bezan pull his original video? Quote

What the hell are you talking about? I know plenty of cattle farmers, and I can assure you that the cattle are grass fed. There is a huge pasture right across from my house. In the winter they eat the grass that has been harvest abd baled as silage. Silage (sp?) is hay or timothy that is baled and then wrapped in plastic so that it stays green (and ferments). The cattle are not "drugged". The factory pig farms regularly shoot up the pigs with antibiotics, but the cattle pretty much eat grass off the land. Quote

As long as folks like you keep insulting westerners the longer it will be before the Liberals have any chance at all of gaining any support. I'm a lifelong westerner and I'm insulted by the fake cowboy wannbe's this isn't reality, until I moved to Calgary cowboy hats sightings were as rare as whooping cranes on the praries...even when I was kid ranchers were wearing ballcaps and beginning to use motor cycles to herd cattle now atvs have pretty much replaced the horse except for the diehards who want to live the "image"...the "stereotypical" westerner in cowboy hat with a horse is pure pr bullshit... if he was sitting on the back of his pickup wearing a ballcap that would be an honest image for a western farmer/rancher...
