The Fevered Imagination of the Leftist Idiot

We, the crack young staff of “The Hatemonger’s Quarterly,” simply love the Huffington Post, Arianna Huffington’s group exercise in personal vanity. Whether it’s a “post” by Arab pollster-cum-nutter James Zogby or a piece by illiterate D-List celebrities, the Huff Po has got it all.

And, just in case the wondrous musings of, say, Alec Baldwin weren’t enough for you to savor, you can always delight in the comments of the Huff Po readership. Seldom have we witnessed a gaggle of unhinged lunatics with Internet connections.

Allow us to offer a bit of anecdotal evidence that may help to prove our point. Recently, we, the crack young staff of “The Hatemonger’s Quarterly,” happened upon a Huff Po “post” called “Think Again: Conservatives Blame America First, Again” by Eric Alterman. Mr. Alterman, for those of you blissfully unaware of him, is the incessantly enraged media critic for The Nation, who also punches the clock for the Huff Po once in a while.

In said piece, Mr. Alterman takes on a childishly easy target: Dinesh D’Souza’s latest screed, which ham-fistedly blames the American Left for 9/11. We know what you’re thinking, dear reader: Ho hum.

But check out this charming response to Mr. Alterman’s lucubration:

I suspect the neocons will use every fringe element at their disposal here and abroad to sow division and confusion to lend credence to their desired path and outcome.

The outcry will be loud, and they will point to the least eloquent of the critics as the standard bearer for what they are against, while ignoring the rest.

Anybody of reason that rises above the fray will be slandered mercilessly like Jimmy Carter.

Violence will follow if that doesn't work.

Oh, for crying out loud: This man—whoever he is—is a lunatic. Note the conspiracy-mongering: Those evil neocons (read: Jews) will stop at nothing to accomplish their unspeakable evil!

Ah, yes: Unspeakable evil—like bringing peace and democracy to the Middle East. Gee, what other maniacal schemes do they have up their Hebrew little sleeves?

We particularly enjoyed this dolt’s estimation of Jimmy Carter as “rising above the fray.” Come on: Does a book entitled Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid really strike you as “above the fray”? Even when its author acknowledges that one of its passages “mistakenly” condones Palestinian terrorism?

No wonder the “nutroots” have about as much political clout as Lyndon LaRouche.
