The obvious problem here is that everyone and their mother writes for Huffington Post (though some of those writing for HuffPo are smarter than others), and that it's generally silly, even in the context of a joke, to argue that one opinion columnist represents a given media outlet (much less "the American left") as a whole. One might as well argue that all right-wingers are "gook"-spouting Canadian paranoids who genuinely fear a radical Islamic takeover of the West in the coming years and think it prudent to bomb Iran as soon as possible.
