‘American Sniper’ Complaints Grow in Hollywood: Should Clint Eastwood Be Celebrating a ‘Killer’?
Michael Moore, an Oscar voter and former Academy governor from the Documentary Branch, tweeted an anti-sniper comment on Sunday — “My uncle killed by sniper in WW2. We were taught snipers were cowards … Snipers aren’t heroes … ”
13 comments:
throughout history, any effective tactics have been denounced by the other side as cowardly, for example the use of guerilla tactics in the American revolution was decried by the brits as being cowardly and savage
Clint is laughing all the way to the bank!
The dude is a free advertising genius. All these 2A and pro military website are giving him all the free advertising he can handle.
You must ignore him, otherwise you are empowering him. Keeping him in the headlines makes him relevant.
Refuse to be his shill.
I'm not MM fan....but maybe the praises heaped on Kyle are a little much considering his anti-liberty stories about shooting American citizens during Katrina, among is various his fabrications of other events in his life that were, shall we say, a celebration of special rights and collectivist mindset.
I bet that tub of lard wouldn't say the Soviet sniper Zaitsev was a "coward" (and he wasn't) but only because he did it for Mother Russia and the Hammer & Sickle.
Is it "cowardly" when a sniper infiltrates enemy territory to take out an enemy artillery observer before he is able to call in fire missions on friendly positions?
Michael Moore is literally disgusting.
Bitter Clinging Texan,
The same was said of the first demonstration of the military uses of the submarine.
The perfumed princes want their victims to stand up to be conveniently shot while they hide in their palaces.
Disgusting,bloated,slimey,rich and a bona fide dickhead! Kinda like Liam Neeson complaining about firearm violence,when his last few movies have been about kicking the shit out of the general population and shooting all others. Wait! As a liberal.progressive,leftist slimeball: you can have it all ways,even if they contradict each other. Ah,the beauty of the left. Now becoming the beauty of the neocon right. Stop wasting time and energy dealing with the slime and do your work necessary to come out the other side of the upcoming ugliness.
Review of "American Sniper"
I just saw "American Sniper", the Clint Eastwood directed film with 6 Academy Award nominations that was released yesterday. It did not dissappoint. It was a fast-paced, real-action film with the personal story of Navy Seal Chris Kyle.
It explained perfectly the one question that I had about Chris Kyle- how could a perfectly normal American do the sometimes soul-twisting job necessary to protect us without becoming an anti-social monster ?
Now don't get me wrong- I would say that many, even MOST red-blooded American males fantasize about being the most deadly weapon of all soldiers- a SNIPER. But can a man balance the morality of being a protector of the vulnerable with the deadly skills and attitude needed to do the job ?
And how does such a man relate to his family and comrades, and vice-versa ? The interaction between Kyle and his family was some of the best EVER on film. It seemed like you were there watching a family, not looking at scenes in a movie.
The film was patriotic without being corny or one-sided. The theater was crowded for a Saturday afternoon showing. I personally enjoyed it and can't wait to get it when it comes out on DVD. One of the best films I've ever seen, not just one of the best war movies, either.
Whose to say whether MM will be on the "to do" list of a domestic, patriot sniper team in the future?
I can't say whether or not mass murderer Chris Kyle is a coward. It's possible to be both a murderer and brave. Many murderers do evil things that take a lot of courage- doesn't make them heroes.
Mass murderer huh Kent? You "can't say" ... Yet you DID "say"....
Sniper? The man aimed and shot a gun... Just like other soldiers. From a covered position? That's called CAMO -again, just like any other soldier. From a great distance? So what? He is a better shot at greater distance. Again, just like other soldiers. A better shot? So what? "Real Heros" miss more??? WTF is that all about?
Soldiers don't "murder", you DICKFACE. They fight WARS where the OBJECT is to KILL and otherwise DESTROY the enemy until such time as the enemy either A) gives up B) has no capability to continue making war or C) is eliminated entirely.
That's their PURPOSE. THATS THEIR JOB! That's their TASK.
IT WOULD BE WONDERFUL if Muslims finally decided that making war upon all non MUSLIMS wasn't a very good idea. But until they STOP MAKING WAR upon us, we have no option but to fight BACK -pssssssst that means we are at war........
So then - what would you have soldiers do? Ask the muzzies nicely to have tea and crumpets while having a enlightened discussion about planetary peaceful cohabitation? Is that it? No sir, my fellow Countrymen who serve WILLINGLY do NOT commit murder - they kill the fucking enemy who openly declare their goal is to enslave your sorry ass, "marry" your wife and diddle your children before they cut your fucking head off right before your families eyes.
Murder? Wanna see murder? See any MUSLIM following exactly what the Koran and Hadith preaches. THATS murder. So piss off you puke. Take your couched progressive bullshit somewhere it isn't recognized.
Actually, brave anonymous commenter, I'd stop sending troops to trespass on their property, break their stuff and kill their families, and creating "blowback" that endangers everyone in America. But that's just me.
It's so hilarious that "conservative" apologists call me "progressive" and "progressive" apologists call me "conservative". Yet both are just collectivist statists who love socialism and war as long as they believe it builds up their favorite State.
For whatever it is worth: For several years now, all tweets are forwarded to the Library of Congress, ostensibly to make a huge data base of history details. So, just remember, ALL tweets are forwarded this way and kept.
