Mr. Sedaei: You Aren't Very Bright

Posted by The Hatemongers Quarterly · Published: November 4, 2007 · Comments (4)

Ah, the Huffington Post: What would we do without it? Well, we'd have to go elsewhere to receive a daily dose of far-Left fatuity. And, as strollers around Al Gore's Internet can inform you, it isn't particularly easy to find "websites" composed by radical nutters. In fact, it's almost as... [Full Story]

Bush's Problems with National [sic] Building

Posted by The Hatemongers Quarterly · Published: October 28, 2007 · Comments (42)

Ah, another day, another stupid letter-to-the-editor in The New York Times. Or so, dear reader, it often seems. If you ask us, nary a 24-hour time span goes by without our taking in a dunderheaded missive in the Gray Lady. Take, for example, the Friday, October 26 number of the... [Full Story]

Faculty Fatuousness

Posted by The Hatemongers Quarterly · Published: October 14, 2007 · Comments (12)

We, the crack young staff of "The Hatemonger's Quarterly," have a confession to make. We seldom read the delightful academic periodical Transforming Anthropology anymore. Somehow or other, we allowed our subscription to lapse. And this, as it turns out, was quite a mistake. For, in a recent number of said... [Full Story]

Our Smug Hunk-in-Chief?

Posted by The Hatemongers Quarterly · Published: October 7, 2007 · Comments (6)

H.L. Mencken once said that no one ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public. Well, good ole' H.L. never lived to see the XFL, but, that minor blip excepted, we think he's pretty much dead on. A scintillating little e-article from something called "Entertainmentwise" offers a perfect... [Full Story]

9/11? What's 9/11?

Posted by The Hatemongers Quarterly · Published: September 30, 2007 · Comments (36)

As you may very well know, dear reader, The New York Times, in its indefatigable wisdom, has decided to abandon its stupid "Times Select" program, which stopped the non-subscribing riff-raff from accessing the Gray Lady's opinion columns. As a result, even the poorest amongst us can revel in the collective... [Full Story]

The West's Crisis of Self-Confidence

Posted by The Hatemongers Quarterly · Published: September 23, 2007 · Comments (4)

The editorial page of the Thursday, September 20 number of The New York Times carries a column by one Roger Cohen called "The French Revolution." The piece offers praise for French President Nicolas Sarkozy, along with a soupcon of concern for a few of his recent political calculations. More important... [Full Story]

The Real Cause of Terrorism

Posted by The Hatemongers Quarterly · Published: September 16, 2007 · Comments (40)

We, the crack young staff of "The Hatemonger's Quarterly," have a hunch. It's neither a particularly interesting nor daring hunch, but it's a hunch nevertheless. In short, it is this: Almost everyone who writes letters to the editor at The New York Times is a buffoon. Not exactly earth-shattering, is... [Full Story]

A Lesson Unlearned

Posted by The Hatemongers Quarterly · Published: September 9, 2007 · Comments (8)

Regular readers of Wizbang recognize that it is usually Jay Tea's job to take issue with the venerable Boston Globe. We hope, then, that Jay Tea won't mind our own discussion of some typical Boston Globe foolishness. But this example of moronic Globe editorializing simply begs for rebuttal. The September...

Idiocy and the Ivory Tower

Posted by The Hatemongers Quarterly · Published: September 2, 2007 · Comments (1)

Well, it's now official: The only person due to serve a jail sentence as the result of the Duke lacrosse non-rape fiasco is none other than Mike Nifong, the former Durham District Attorney whose name will soon be inescapably linked to the adjective "disgraced." As the news wires have reported,... [Full Story]

Extreme Opinions, Extreme Ignorance

Posted by The Hatemongers Quarterly · Published: August 26, 2007 · Comments (48)

A few days ago, dear reader, one of the junior editors at "The Hatemonger's Quarterly"--let's just call him "Chip"--found himself at an old friend's home. Although "Chip" had not seen this longtime pal for some time, he recognized that he was of very different political beliefs. As a result, it... [Full Story]

"Publishers Weakly"

Posted by The Hatemongers Quarterly · Published: August 19, 2007 · Comments (16)

Norman Podhoretz's new tome, World War IV: The Long Struggle against Islamofascism, hasn't even appeared in bookstores yet and it's already been slammed. Book buyers surely know that Amazon.com regularly offers book reviews from Publishers Weekly that accompany monographs for sale. Although Publishers Weekly doesn't advertise itself as a lefty...

Gay Marriage and Apartheid?

Posted by The Hatemongers Quarterly · Published: August 12, 2007 · Comments (3)

We, the crack young staff of "The Hatemonger's Quarterly," have certainly spied our share of inane bumper stickers. "Peace Is Patriotic"; "Bush Lied, Millions Died"; "So Many Right-Wing Christians, So Few Lions"--these are the sorts of slogans on back bumpers that strike us as absurd. Accordingly, dear reader, it is... [Full Story]

Our Future Hypocrite-in-Chief?

Posted by The Hatemongers Quarterly · Published: August 5, 2007 · Comments (37)

Gosh, you just have to love John Edwards' campaign for president. Every time you think the former Senator from North Carolina can't become more hypocritical, he somehow manages to up the ante. Frankly, unless you collect Mike Gravel quotes, Sen. Edwards' candidacy is the most entertaining part of the 2008... [Full Story]

A Few Thoughts on the "Scott Thomas" Brouhaha

Posted by The Hatemongers Quarterly · Published: July 29, 2007 · Comments (7)

We, the crack young staff of "The Hatemonger's Quarterly," must admit that we haven't followed the whole "Scott Thomas"-New Republic brouhaha very closely. Although we are regular readers of The New Republic, we didn't trouble ourselves much over the "Scott Thomas" Baghdad Diarist columns. Frankly, we didn't recognize that they'd... [Full Story]

The Middle Course Between Right and Wrong

Posted by The Hatemongers Quarterly · Published: July 22, 2007 · Comments (8)

In their writings on the War on Terrorism, lots of left-wing public intellectuals esteem erroneous on-the-one-hand, on-the-other-hand arguments. You know the sort we mean: After weakly criticizing some Islamist atrocity or other, the chi-chi lefty will then pretend that a given Western action is equally reprehensible. Evil acts of terrorism... [Full Story]

The Dumb Argument That Won't Die

Posted by The Hatemongers Quarterly · Published: July 15, 2007 · Comments (36)

Call it a weakness. We, the crack young staff of "The Hatemonger's Quarterly," enjoy strolling round the left-wing "weblogosphere," examining the current state of liberal opinion. Although admittedly excruciating on occasion, our perambulations in the world of "moonbattery" sometimes yield fruit. Not terribly enlightening fruit, mind you, but fruit nevertheless....

Thoughts on Media Bias

Posted by The Hatemongers Quarterly · Published: July 8, 2007 · Comments (16)

Amongst our left-wing friends, charges of "liberal media bias" scarcely elicit anything but chuckles. As far as our lefty pals are considered, the very words "liberal media bias" are deeply humorous. Those who utter such a phrase without the requisite dollop of irony are seen as nothing but know-nothing hayseeds.... [Full Story]

See No Terrorism, Hear No Terrorism

Posted by The Hatemongers Quarterly · Published: July 1, 2007 · Comments (20)

We, the crack young staff of "The Hatemonger's Quarterly," have the sneaking suspicion that a Republican candidate may just eke out a victory in the 2008 presidential race. To be honest, we say this with some surprise: After all, our current Republican president is not popular with voters overall, and... [Full Story]

On Communist Nostalgia

Posted by The Hatemongers Quarterly · Published: June 24, 2007 · Comments (28)

The Drudge Report recently "linked" to a story detailing actress Cameron Diaz's foreign faux pas. Ms. Diaz, on a trip to Peru, sported a bag emblazoned with Maoist propaganda. Unbeknownst to Ms. Diaz, apparently, Maoist rebels killed somewhere around 70,000 Peruvians during their brutal insurgencies of the 1980s and 1990s.... [Full Story]

The Wall Street Journal's "Rising Anti-Immigrant Sentiment"

Posted by The Hatemongers Quarterly · Published: June 17, 2007 · Comments (14)

As you undoubtedly recognize, the mainstream media and a variety of liberals are deeply concerned about the fate of The Wall Street Journal. Run by the Bancroft family, this internationally respected newspaper is being fiercely sought by the purportedly evil Rupert Murdoch and his purportedly evil News Corp. As far... [Full Story]

Skeptically Naive

Posted by The Hatemongers Quarterly · Published: June 10, 2007 · Comments (32)

We, the crack young staff of "The Hatemonger's Quarterly," have never quite understood the mindset of the far Left. You know the sort of folks we mean: Subscribers to The Nation, Z, The Guardian, Mother Jones, Counterpunch, and kindred organs of firmly entrenched leftism. Quite frankly, we consider their political... [Full Story]

On Politics and Hypocrisy

Posted by The Hatemongers Quarterly · Published: June 3, 2007 · Comments (29)

We, the crack young staff of "The Hatemonger's Quarterly," love it when ideological folk offer deceptive rationales for their favored politicians. If you ask us, those with deeply held political beliefs vote for candidates essentially for one reason: These candidates' views most closely resemble their own. Everything else is just...

Hypothetical Rapists

Posted by The Hatemongers Quarterly · Published: May 27, 2007 · Comments (11)

As noted in The Chronicle, Duke University's daily newspaper, the previously maligned Duke lacrosse team has just made its way into the national championship game by defeating Cornell. This seemed to highlight something about the Duke non-rape case we have long suspected: The only beneficiary of this sordid affair will... [Full Story]

Cho Seung-Hui: Misguided Socialist?

Posted by The Hatemongers Quarterly · Published: May 20, 2007 · Comments (16)

Many times, dear reader, we, the crack young staff of "The Hatemonger's Quarterly," have taken aim at the loveable far-left lunatics at Counterpunch. And for good reason: Pound for pound, we'd wager that Counterpunch is amongst the very nuttiest outfits on Al Gore's World-Wide Web. A delightful case in point... [Full Story]

Every College Kid Left Behind

Posted by The Hatemongers Quarterly · Published: May 13, 2007 · Comments (29)

In the op-ed section of yesterday's Wall Street Journal, readers could find "Hands Off Higher Ed," a spirited rebuke to recent governmental attempts "to extend the testing and standards requirements of the No Child Left Behind Act to colleges." The author of said piece, Larry P. Arnn, is the president... [Full Story]
