“According to the Internet, Mother Teresa once defined Joy as ‘a net of love by which you can catch souls.’ In The Joy of Hate, Greg Gutfeld continues her mission-in a completely different way. Mainly because it would be so funny to watch him fall. This is a man who would take time out from starring in two daily television shows just to help someone who has fallen down on the sidewalk. Liberals fear him because whenever they look down their noses, they see him. “Greg Gutfeld is a sweet, hysterical, evil genius. “Gutfeld is like Voltaire if Voltaire were actually funny.” - Dennis Miller
As well as pretentious music criticism, slow-moving ceiling fans, and snotty restaurant hostesses.įunny and sarcastic to the point of being mean (but in a nice way), The Joy of Hate points out the true jerks in this society and tells them all off. The endless debate over the Ground Zero Mosque (which Gutfeld planned to open a Muslim gay bar next to). How critics of Obamacare or illegal immigration are somehow immediately labeled racists. The media who are always offended (see MSNBC lineup) The demonizing of the Tea Party and romanticizing of the Occupy Wall Streeters. And no problem if you're a bigot, as long as you're politically correct about it. It's okay to call a woman any name imaginable, as long as she's a Republican. The double standard: You can make fun of Christians, but God forbid Muslims. With countless examples grabbed from the headlines, Gutfeld provides readers with the enormous tally of what pisses us all off.
The Joy of Hate tackles this conundrum head on-replacing the idiocy of open-mindness with a shrewd judgmentalism that rejects stupid ideas, notions, and people. And what we really need is smart intolerance, or as Gutfeld reminds us, what we used to call common sense.
In fact, most of the time liberals uses the mantle of tolerance as a guise for their pathetic intolerance. At the root of every single major political conflict is the annoying coddling Americans must endure of these harebrained liberal hypocrisies. From the irreverent star of Fox News’s Red Eye and The Five, hilarious observations on the manufactured outrage of an oversensitive, wussified culture.
