To: Huffington Post WHEREAS, Greg Gutfeld has repeatedly polluted the Huffington Post with his reactionary, far-right "humor",
WHEREAS, Greg Gutfeld's "jokes" are not funny and add nothing to the progressive conversation at Arianna Huffington's wonderful site,
LET IT BE RESOLVED that we the undersigned hereby ask that Mr. Gutfeld be removed from the Huffington Post and never allowed to post there again.
Sincerely,
The Undersigned
Gregs post [The Patriotic Terrorist] is a must read.
The comment section is almost as good as the post itself.
Here is the link that has caused so much hysteria from the moonbattery:

I have yet to see a leftwinged site that tolerates opposing views for long. So much for most intolerant people living, the so-called "tolerant" left!
No kidding. He actually wrote that. Hilarious.
Well, let's be honest... does Free Republic allow far-leftists to post freely?
Squishes, RINOs and closet libs, sure. But anyone who's openly, blatantly leftist is going to zotted pretty quickly here.
Can't find the page.
yeah but FR is composed of common sense posters- the huffing-andpuffington post isn't (as proved by the qoute given by post #3 - Case closed.
The following link does not relate to this thread http://sacredscoop.com
You obviously are not familer with Murrymom. This lefty poster is a FR regular. As long as a lefty minds their manners and doesn't "hit and run" they are certainlly tolerated (and challenged) on FR.
They don't want to hear opinions they don't like or the facts they don't like, nothing that interferes with their world view.
ARG and I had it opened in another window still too :(. I could have archived after the zot. Oh well.
And why do you think that is?
thanks
New Trend On The Rise: The Patriotic Terrorist (93 comments )
READ MORE: United States, Iraq
Whenever I visit this lovely blog, I usually run into someone - a "leftist," if you will - who finds pleasure in things that make our country or the President look bad. I suppose I could say these angry types are no better than cheerleaders for terrorism. After all, both entities - the left and terrorists - seem to share the same desire: to put the US, humiliatingly, in its place.
But I would be wrong to say such things. Very wrong. Of course, "dissent is patriotic," and the left is only critical of America because it simply loves our country much more than I do.
That's why calling them terrorists would be intolerant and pretty shameful.
But what about "patriotic terrorists?"
That's kinda neat.
What is a patriotic terrorist?
It is an American who claims to love his or her country while enjoying the enemy's success against said country. It is a person who gets deeply offended if you question their patriotism, while also appearing to share the same ideals of the more spirited folk who like to blow up innocent people.
Patriotic terrorists love America with so much intensity that it appears to the untrained eye that they hate it. But it's actually the most powerful form of "tough love" known to man, woman and Rosie O'Donnell. Patriotic terrorists love America so much that they realize it needs an intervention - and real terror is the only way to enable that intervention. In fact, to keep a mammoth, arrogant superpower like America in check, terrorism is the only thing we've got. Noam Chomsky knew this from the start, making him a patriotic terrorist of the highest order.
This is why he gets the chicks.
Hey, I bet you've probably wondered why Al Qaeda hasn't struck in the US since 9/11. They don't have to. It has its own offshoot franchise here at work already. Patriotic Terrorists.
Think about how much both groups have in common!
-Both patriotic terrorists and Al Qaeda want the US to abandon Iraq, for that reveals Bush and America to be monstrous, laughable failures. It does not matter to either group that the withdrawal from Iraq will make post-Vietnam look like an afternoon at Ikea shopping for a Hoggbo innerspring mattress.
-For patriotic terrorists and real terrorists, car bombs going off is music to their ears. It proves that you can't offer democracy to troubled countries, as long as you've got terrorists standing in your way. And that's great news for everyone who believes in checks and balances between the haves and the have nots! (Note: "haves" means the US. "Have nots" means those who hate the US)
-Patriotic terrorists and the more committed terrorists both believe that infractions at Guantanamo Bay are far worse than anything a genocidal dictator could muster, and such horrors possess far more PR potential in denigrating the US than anything involving Ed Begley Jr.
-Both patriotic terrorists and Al Qaeda terrorists believe the US desires to control the Middle East, empower evil Israel and expand it's power base at the expense of innocent Arab lives. But both groups also realize that the US is too stupid to achieve these goals - and that makes being a patriotic terrorist loads of fun!
Are you a patriotic terrorist?
If you are intensely critical of the US, while tolerating homicidal enemies who condemn everything you previously claimed you are for - human rights, voting rights, gay rights, women's rights, porn - then you're a patriotic terrorist.
If you talk about tolerance constantly - and hilariously tolerate genocide and suicide bombers because those actions undermine your more intimate opposition, the American right - then you're a patriotic terrorist.
The only difference between a patriotic terrorist and a real one? Real terrorists are simply patriotic terrorists who've taken the extra step - choosing to actually die for their beliefs - rather than simply talking about them at Spago. If Tim Robbins, Sean Penn, Michael Moore, and their ilk had real cojones, they'd all be wearing cute black vests - but stuffed with more than dog-eared copies of Deterring Democracy.
No kidding. I once saw Peter Jennings interviewed by Larry King during which Larry asked him if thought liberals were tolerant. Peter answers "They tolerate people who agree with them." Well, DUH! Everyone including nazis tolerate people who agree with them. Peter also didn't think MSM was biased for liberals but did have the same policies. Well, DUH again. What do they think conservatives mean by bias?
"..Huffington describes herself as a "former right-winger who has evolved into a compassionate and progressive populist"....
........She met millionaire Michael Huffington at a 1985 party hosted by Ann Getty in San Francisco. The couple were married in 1986. They moved to Washington, D.C., when he was appointed to the Department of Defense. They later established residency in Santa Barbara, California, in order for him to run for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, which he won by a significant margin. He was a political conservative, although he had publicly supported gays in the military. In 1994 he narrowly lost the race for the U.S. Senate seat from California to incumbent Dianne Feinstein.
The couple divorced in 1997, and in 1998, Michael Huffington disclosed his bisexuality. A 1999 magazine article claimed that Arianna Huffington "entered the marriage... with full knowledge of [Michael Huffington's] sexual interests in men". [1] The financial terms of their divorce agreement remain undisclosed."
Or maybe unstead of a "former right-winger who has evolved into a compassionate and progressive populist" she actually is an aging gold digging "fag hag" looking for a new angle since Conservatives want nothing to do with her.
