Are You a "Patriotic Terrorist"? (Liberals Hate America?)
Federal Review ^ | Friday, January 26, 2007

Posted on 01/26/2007 11:42:15 AM PST by Behind Liberal Lines

Over at the Huffington Post, blogger Greg Gutfeld examines the rise of what he calls "the 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....

Gutfeld goes on to list ways that he finds actual terrorists and patriotic terrorists to be in idealogical sync:

Both patriotic terrorists and Al Qaeda want the US to abandon Iraq, for that reveals Bush and America to be monstrous, laughable failures....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....both believe that infractions at Guantanamo Bay are far worse than anything a genocidal dictator could muster....both patriotic terrorists and Al Qaeda terrorists believe the US desires to control the Middle East, empower ... 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

As they say, read the whole thing.

No such thing as a patriotic "progressive".

I dare not read more as this suffices as an admission that liberals hate America and sides with America's enemies.

WOW -- What an admission.

Oh, yeah, if you follow the links back to the Huff Post, you can see nearly 100 comments from squealing leftists, trotting out the usual "dissent is patriotic" crap, calling the author an idiot, comparing him to Hitler and themselves to Jesus, etc.

I find the comments to his post very interesting:

You've managed to get it exactly WRONG
Understand this If Iraq was a terrorist state when we attacked it them you would be right Instead you are supporting terrorism by supporting a regime that has waged war illegally

You are a mindless fool. The man behind 9/11, Osama Bin Laden, loves you. Remember him?
You don't have to wait for a mythical rapture. Seeing Bush, Cheney et al puts you into a rapture all your own.

Is this a reprint of your father's speech endorsing the Third Reich?

You, Sir, are an (ignorant) Ass Hole.

Warmest regards,
A Vietnam Vet (I'm sure one you would consider a "Patriotic terrorist")
BTW one last question, Would you consider a black slave who resisted his massa a "terrorist?"

A result of reading this asinine post is that now I am dumber than I was five minutes ago.

This is an outrage! Smeg Goof-feld is the REAL terrorist if he thinks he can talk to us like this. I also suspect from subtle hints he has dropped that he is a homosexual (which is usually okay but not in this case (usually I'm very tolerant but not with people who disagree with me)).


And so on. There are four pages of responses, and while a few of them are rational, most are just like those outlined above.

Gutfield is the same one who wrote the piece "HUFFPO EMERGENCY BUSH BASH BLOG APPLICATION FOR THE VICTIMS OF ALL DISASTERS EVERYWHERE!"

which is one of the funnier things I've ever read

both believe that infractions at Guantanamo Bay are far worse than anything a genocidal dictator could muster

Proof positive that these morons are certifiably insane.

"..both believe that infractions at Guantanamo Bay are far worse than anything a genocidal dictator could muster...."

This statement reveals either ignorance of staggering, gallactic proportions or total insanity.

Sadly, there are a few sites on the Net I simply will not go to, period.

Leading the list is the New York Times and its affiliates,  the LA Times, Daily Kos and those of simular ilk.

Huffington Post is in the same boat I'm afraid.

I decided I have only so much time, and I will not waste it on trash.

Great post tho....

Cheers,

...the Democrats... want what the terrorists want.

Go say that in Midtown or Brooklyn sometime, see what kind of reaction you get.

Interestingly enough, reading some of the posts here at FR, I'm not sure all the Freepers get that Gutfeld is attacking liberals not proclaiming his beliefs.

A true classic!

He's tolerant of people who agree with him. That must be very difficult for him.

Did this guy seriously write this or did you add it in as an aftercomment, because I can't believe that even a barking moonbat would be THAT transparent.

Understand this If Iraq was a terrorist state

If? Are these people stupid or just morons.

My dear imbecile, Saddam was sheltering, sponsoring and training terrorists AND HE WAS DOING IT OPENLY!

He freaking admitted it. He bragged about it. And he was doing it long before the war started. He was doing it BEFORE 9/11.

This is sort of like saying "Understand this if water was wet..." There is no "IF!"

I am going to run around in small circles screaming now.
