    Homeland offered more civilian casualties. Typically snipers are one shot one kill kind of folks. Lots of civilian casualties would
    have been of context for a movies about a sniper.

    Talk about naive sheep, I wonder what she thinks of Obama's kill list. Does she really believe they are able to limit civilian causalities
    with "surgical " drone strikes?

    Obama’s drone war: The “kill list” leaves out the real story.

    "According to the New York Times, President Obama is up to his eyeballs in the U.S. drone program. He presides over secret meetings to decide who gets put on a “kill list” of terrorists targeted for strikes. He personally examines each nominee and issues the ultimate verdict. The story portrays a president deeply immersed in national security, determined to ensure that every strike is free of civilian casualties and that every candidate for assassination gets a fair hearing."


    If you want to talk about "insult " lets talk about the narrative that the Times put out and the unwillingness of the liberal media sheep
    to ask provocative questions about the drone program.

    There is a Grand-Canyon-sized difference between civilians killed in an air raid or drone strike and civilians killed by an individual sniper. With the sniper, there is next to no chance the civilian was "collateral damage."

    That was the gist of it, I think. And neither YankeeFan or Sunshine have been able to name the people who are angry on Twitter. Except Michael Moore.

    This whole horseshit "controversy" comes down to this: Michael Moore sent out a dumb Tweet.

    Don't forget Seth Rogen.

    Also, don't forget the "other" angry Twitter mob. The one who suggested surrendering the entire faceless mishmash of liberal pussies to ISIS for raping and beheading.

    Didn't Rogen just make some joke comparing "American Sniper" to the Nazi propaganda sniper movie in "Inglorious Basterds"? I assume he was just trying to be irreverent and it fell flat.

    I'm not Rogen, but I posted that Nazi prop sniper movie on an earlier page here.

    They only show a piece of this in the movie.

    Something like that.

    America as a whole would be better if we treated most celebrities like the vacuous morons they are. From Seth Rogen to Jenny McCarthy to Ted Nugent.
