I dare you to read his work (no matter your political persuasion) and not come away thinking that he has some great points. He has a remarkable ability to articulate his opinions and positions in a straightforward and original way.

The Joy of Hate: How to Triumph over Whiners in the Age of Phony Outrage: Greg Gutfeld: 9780307986962: Amazon.com: Books

funny, twisted, irreverent; blended together with a very generous helping of insight and intelligence.

That's right... and up is down and black is white. Kinda reminds me of Gordon Gekko's "Greed is Good" Speech. I suppose next we'll have some other RWNJ try to argue that pregnancy from rape is actually God's will...

Not that the lazy, do nothing, expect to get money they didn't work for and certainly don't deserve, no that is not a definition of greedy.

Poor example, if you are going to attack these people because "they didn't work for the money instead getting it from investments. Isn't people who get welfare the same thing... they didn't work for the money either. What's the difference?

Read the book, you might be able to identify yourself. It's hilarious.

I'm a fan of Mr. Gutfeld. I watch him on "The Five."

It's funny because almost all of the whining and phony outrage on this board comes from the right -- NOT the left.

It does? Well, we are being called racist, poor, uneducated, trailer park trash mooching on welfare. To be honest, the left is sounding more like a bunch of sore losers than part of the team that won the election. Perhaps because they know deep down the win was relatively narrow and isn't some big sweeping endorsement of Obama, their party, or their ideology and that it doesn't mean there is a permanent Democratic majority going forward as some are asserting and are desperate to convince themselves otherwise.

Never heard of him before, but man, do I love people who aren't afraid to tweak the status quo and entrenched partisan mindsets. To prove his point, you don't have to look any further than the disappearance of the antiwar movement under Obama. His foreign policy is just as horrendous as Bush's, maybe even worse, but the Left is completely silent -- or they make excuses if they bring the subject up at all. We all know that if Bush was drone-bombing women and children, taking unilateral military action, and running a secret kill list, the Left would be howling from the rooftops.

Intellectual honesty -- catch it!

Perhaps they're starting to realize they didn't win a single thing. In the end, we all lose.

Yep, and it's going to hurt.
