    Pajama boy doesn't drink lattes at night. It'll keep him up.

    Would be funny if Kyle was a latte and onesie kind of guy behind the scenes.

    Book says 1998 but we know now that they were lose with the facts so perhaps it
    was 2001.

    So we're 12 pages in, and I'm curious about who is leading this huge Hollywood backlash against the Chris Kyle movie and, more generally, the memory of Chris Kyle? It's not entirely clear to me who has been at the forefront of this widespread, well-orchestrated character assassination.

    My count, and I may be missing some people, obviously, includes:

    • Michael Moore. Very important figure.
    • Some writer for the Publication Previously Known as the New Republic.
    • A guest columnist in the Guardian in England.
    • Two anonymous Hollywood insiders quoted in a story on an online Web site I never heard of.
    • The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, which devlishly nominated "American Sniper" for Best Picture so as to give itself a bigger platform from which to lob its character assassination grenades at Chris Kyle.
    • But not the New Yorker writer who first shed light on Kyle's fabrications. People like that story.
    Who am I missing?

    I'm definitely, definitely interested in reading this lengthy list of progressive thought leaders, perhaps some of them on par with Michael Moore in terms of stature, who have contributed to the orchestrated, unrelenting character assassination campaign against Chris Kyle and the "American Sniper" movie.

    Is this something bigger than the standard media crutch of reporting "OUTRAGE on the Internet!"?
