Description

From the irreverent star of Fox News’s Red Eye and The Five, hilarious observations on the manufactured outrage of an oversensitive, wussified culture.

Greg Gutfeld hates artificial tolerance. At the root of every single major political conflict is the annoying coddling Americans must endure of these harebrained liberal hypocrisies. In fact, most of the time liberals uses the mantle of tolerance as a guise for their pathetic intolerance. And what we really need is smart intolerance, or as Gutfeld reminds us, what we used to call common sense.

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. With countless examples grabbed from the headlines, Gutfeld provides readers with the enormous tally of what pisses us all off. For example:
- The double standard: You can make fun of Christians, but God forbid Muslims. It's okay to call a woman any name imaginable, as long as she's a Republican. And no problem if you're a bigot, as long as you're politically correct about it. 
- The demonizing of the Tea Party and romanticizing of the Occupy Wall Streeters.
- The media who are always offended (see MSNBC lineup)
- How critics of Obamacare or illegal immigration are somehow immediately labeled racists.
- The endless debate over the Ground Zero Mosque (which Gutfeld planned to open a Muslim gay bar next to).
- As well as pretentious music criticism, slow-moving ceiling fans, and snotty restaurant hostesses.

Funny 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.

    I like an interesting read. Bonus if I laugh. This is hillariously funny and extremely annoying in it’s accuracy of portraying outrage. The examples are plucked from current events so it’s very easy to ride along with this roller coaster. Some of this may even outrage you.

    This book was top shelf. Well done easy to read. Even had comedy in a very serious style of what is wrong with the US.

    Greg is in my top 5 people I will knowingly turn on the TV to watch. His comical perspective is second to no one. I eagerly await his next book. Thanks Greg.

    Watching Greg on Fox has always been a joy as he is a smart guy who comes across with a high level of integrity as to his thoughts and insights, very much a "what you see is what you get." This book was just that way a great read and as expected thought provoking and humorous.
  • Spot on!

    I can't believe you put words to how i feel about the people that surround me. The bullies, climate changers and the food nuts. They all have a dooms a day, but that day will never come. At least in there lifetime. As you said, we live longer, eat better and have less ailments than past generations. Thanks for your "Hate".

    The one star reviews are no doubt OWS attendees or sympathizers. Greg is the brightest and funniest talent around and this book dispenses common sense with wit and humor. it helps that his positions are dead on too. My 20 year old daughter read and loved it as well. She's able to intelligently counter the liberal BS being spewed by most ignorant 20 year olds thanks in part to this book. Highly recommend!
  • Another book pointing the finger at liberals to cover for the many falts of conservatism

    This book reeks of strawman attack and other logical fallicies . If you are looking for an empty feel good book for angry for far right ideologs lookng for solice in the short commings of their movement then this book is for you. if you are a conservative looking for a good read that is stimulating and logical then you have found the wrong book. Looking foward to seeing this empty rant on the bargin bin very soon
