    • Michael Moore.
    • Two anonymously quoted Hollywood insiders in a story on a Web site I never heard of.
    • Columnist at The New Republic.
    • Guest columnist at The Guardian.
    • Movie critic at Vox who thought that Chris Kyle's views on the government's debt to soldiers, which the writer appeared to agree with, were not adequately represented.
    • Also, Barbara Streisand probably thought something along these lines. You know she did.

    No, it doesn't. This is the least violent time in human history. And tomorrow will break its record.

    We're not supposed to question that, from a moral standpoint. It's war.

    I never said don't question it.

    I said it's going to happen anyway.

    In it to kill it.

    DW's asked you about 15, 20, 6,000 times for examples of these "folks" and you don't seem to be able to come up with any/many. Perhaps his point -- that there's some butthurt-seeking going on vis-a-vis this movie -- is valid.

    Only black people care about Selma. The rest of 'merica filled their every 10 year watch a black film quota box last year with 12 Years A Slave.

    People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf

    I did a two-fer last year with Lee Daniels' The Butler. I figure I am good until about the time I become a grandfather.

    If you see the Jamie Foxx version of Annie, you've been punished enough for life.

    I did The Butler as well. Didn't think it counted towards the quota as it was too main stream. Kevin Hart movies don't count right?
