"The Joy of Hate: How to Triumph over Whiners in the Age of Phony Outrage" - Greg Gutfeld

Posted by Wonky 10 years, 4 months ago to Books

To the best of my knowledge, no one has ever made it sound quite so fun to be a Libertarian. Reading Gutfeld is like reading Ann Coulter, but instead of wanting to puke at the end of each chapter, you find yourself giggling and wondering why it's so much more enjoyable to laugh than to commit suicide.

        His points on "repressive tolerance" are very well articulated. There must be an art to it. I tried to come up with a few examples of my own to entertain my wife, but fell short and ended up citing the book.
        
        Things like setting up a Muslim friendly gay bar (named Suspicious Packages) next to the ground zero mosque and contemplating the reactions.

        He advertised another of his books 'Not Cool' last night on Red Eye....I wasn't paying enough attention at the time so I'm not sure if it was a real book or a made up one. (He does that sometimes.)

        LOL! Hilarious! I like his commentary in general, but think I will be adding another book to my Christmas list.

What we need is genuine outrage over taxes, welfare, "affordable" healthcare, etc.

Greg Gutfeld is the latest one to irritate the collectivists and show up their philosophy.

  Because laughing only bruises your soul, not your body.
  
  Oh, was that a rhetorical question?

      I've examined the question repeatedly, from many angles, the past couple of years.

Definitely have to buy this... Maybe I can read/discuss it with my kids.. (teens to twenties..) We are constantly frustrated with the stupidity of tolerance and the misguided outrage of many people..
