The Audacity of Hate

The Audacity of Hate (2007) is a book of political commentary written by conservative columnist Amy Keeler.

The Audacity of Hate is the third book written by Ms. Keeler, preceded by You Hate America, I Hate You (2003) and God Will Punish the Left (2005). Unlike those two volumes, which were comprised of new material, The Audacity of Hate is a compilation of articles and columns written by Ms. Keeler since 2005.

The title is a reference to Barack Obama's bestseller The Audacity of Hope. Obama's book is subtitled "Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream," while Keeler's is subtitled "Thoughts on Reclaiming Your Stupid Face." When asked by reporter Mopsy Jimenez-Tippington whether she was concerned about appearing to mock Senator Obama's message, Keeler said, "Here's the bottom line, Mopsy -- either you think it's funny, or you have no sense of humor. Either you get it, or you're too P.C. to enjoy yourself. Either you agree with me, or 9/11 is your fault."

The introduction for The Audacity of Hate was written by commentator Archie McPatton. Keeler has been a frequent guest on McPatton's shows The McPatton Thing and Fuck You with Archie McPatton.
