How to be right : the art of being persuasively correct /
Greg Gutfeld.
- First edition.
- viii, 228 pages : illustrations ; 22 cm.
Why we're evil Why the right loses arguments The joke's on you The riposte: How to win with left-wing dirty tricks Find the right's Obama Discarding your outrage How to be a successful miscreant, like me Don't be a professional Outcompassion them! Hijack the language Co-opt their grievances Link real life to fatuous belief Break the scold mold Embrace the inner skeptic Look like them Stop eating your moderates Ombudsing your buddies How to be right: using metaphors, similes, and other crap Say junk that people remember Three things always beat two things Use your mom Be Columbo Cross-dress Fill-ins for liberals Use their silence to speak volumes Stunts: Or, how an idiotic, absurd act of stupidity can reveal a truth about life and other crap Find your inner drunk The game at the bar.
It's not enough to be right, these days -- especially when you're not left. To survive, the right must learn how to express nonliberal principles as effectively as possible, and persuade others of their point of view. It is an art that demands patience, research, humor, understanding, creative thinking, learning from your opponent and even mimicking their tactics. In How to Be Right, Gutfeld reveals the strategies that have helped him keep a steady job with FOX News for almost three decades. From "Discard Your Outrage" and "Outcompassion Them" To "Find the Right's Obama" and "Use your Mom," Gutfeld gives readers the tools they'll need to argue, influence, and convince their friends, family and foes throughout the 2016 election cycle
