The Joy Of Hate

THE JOY OF HATE: HOW TO TRIUMPH OVER WHINERS IN THE AGE OF PHONY OUTRAGE by Greg Gutfeld,  Uber Sarcasm from Page 1

This book is much like Greg Gutfeld, filled with sarcasm and snark.

I have been an avid watcher of Mr. Gutfeld’s television shows since the days of Red Eye, which Fox News aired at 3am EST starting in 2007. I have followed his shows across the TV schedule because I find him funny and even being sarcastic and utilizing satire he makes sense

GG uses satire, sarcasm, humor, and examples to point out the silliness of the liberal left, conservative right and both sides need to divide us as a society. Throughout “The Joy Of Hate”, he takes aim at both ideology sides pointing out the hypocricy and spin.

Hollywood stars, television journalists, political bloggers, educational institutions, government departments…. No one is safe from the spotlight of satire and humor that GG shines on people, politicians, various industries and events in the recent past.

The book was published in 2012 so while some of the topics are no longer current he makes excellent points.

Pointing out the hypocrisy of:

• Tea Party vs occupy protests
• Obesity and promiscuity
• Two women being called sluts – one a liberal the other a conservative.
• How conservative minorities are called racial does with no blowback

Added bonus is that the chapter titles are puns or satire of common sayings i.e.:

• Winners and Looters,
• Unreal Estate,
• Poop Stars,
• Working at the Death Star,
• Harmed Forces….

RECOMMEND?

I recommend this book to anyone who is not offended by salty language, sexual innuendo, and can handle seeing their “political team” eviscerated.
