Exposing the Left's Romance with Tyranny and Terror
Pajamas Media | March 4 | Kathy Shaidle

Praising someone for being “politically incorrect” has, alas, become a tiresome cliché. That’s a shame, because we need eloquent critics of that pernicious worldview now more than ever. Yet we toss the phrase “politically incorrect” around as easily as a Nerf ball, and thereby render it about as effective.

So when I call Jamie Glazov’s new book United in Hate: The Left’s Romance with Tyranny and Terror “politically incorrect,” please refrain from hitting your mental snooze button.

Besides the usual celebrity suspects — Susan Sontag, Che Guevara, Michael Moore, Noam Chomsky, Mary McCarthy, Oliver Stone — Jamie Glazov sets his sights on an enemy Johnson couldn’t have imagined twenty years ago: radical Islam. Glazov is unsparing in his critique of both left-wing Western intellectuals and their new and highly unlikely anti-intellectual, anti-feminist allies — violent Muslim belligerents — and that makes United in Hate a timely sequel of sorts to Johnson’s original potboiler.

Simple. The Left hates capitalism, the murderous tyrants hate capitalism. The Left hates capitalism more than it loves people, hence The Left and the Murderous Tyrants are bosom buddies.

The Left loves humanity but hates mankind.

I think you give too much credit. Left doesn’t love humanity...only Self.

Yeah, I always thought it strange how the left bashes the "Christian Right", but is so silent on radical Islam, which is so against everything, and I mean everything that the left stands for.
Do you think they'll learn before something really bad happens, or only when they see their own blood gushing out as some wild-eyed Islamist is slicing their neck open?

The left is in a state of total schizophrenic disconnect regarding Islam’s system of values. The reason for this is simple. The “left” is a joystick game run by its trotskyite intelligentsia which includes importantly echo elements of the Frankfort School of psychology, marxist freudians whose whipping boy is the vague concept of the “authoritarian personality”. They are joined by the neo-Reichian sexual revolution hacks who read maybe 3 pages of Wilhelm Reich’s “The Mass Psychology of Fascism”, which author was a card carrying communist and also student of Freud.

The problem for them and their inbreed offspring is a core enthrallment with hedonism to the point of religious doctrine (”...you know you got it if it makes you feel good...” -Janis Joplin). Hedonists would rather sit under a Cinzano umbrella sucking lattes while reading The Daily Worker and its spinoffs, than doing the grungy work of slogging through jungles and deserts with an AK47 as a dialog partner. Theirs is fanaticism-lite, you know “organizing”. So when the rubber hits the road, revolutionarily speaking, they do what any member of the crypto-aristocracy would do, they get someone else with the cojones to do their fighting for them. Enter radical Islam.

Excellent post! Totally accurate description of the American/Eurotrash ‘radicals’.

Boy, would they be surprised at what would happen to them if we on the right let Islam win ("Lefty: "But why are you cutting off my head? I supported you! AAAHHHH!! - gurgle, gurgle").

Still more proof I offer that liberals can't think two words or 5 minutes ahead of themselves.
