What a shock: Hollywood pushing back at "The Sniper"

Wow. Stupid people no one ever heard of posted stupid shit on Twitter. I wonder how the guys saying the movie made them want to shoot some ragheads vote.

The "hero" litmus test is fucking stupid, by the way. I refuse to apply what is now a political grenade to ANYONE.

 

Movie highlights a tool of war.

Public goes cuckoo.

America.

 

Understood. But it was lots of them. They're all on the left. And they all hate the idea of an American sniper being considered a hero.

 

FUCK!!

 

Ditto. This leftist fringe you speak of doesn't have much of a voice other than Twitter. Turn on Fox News and tell me if that's the case on the right. I know of no one who holds these views you speak of. I have plenty of FB friends who hold the opposite views.

I'd bet big money that if Kyle had been painted as a villain, the complaints would be far more prominent and far-reaching.

 

Wish this the article posted in this thread--and the responses Fallows has posted since the article was published--had gotten more discussion:

The fringe is the middle.

 

Can't really argue with that these days.

 

How many are there? Give us more than "lots," because I'm sure not seeing more than a handful.

 

And, as has been noted, the only one anyone has heard of is Michael Fucking Moore.

Seth Rogan too. So that's two. Random dolts on Twitter though? Whoop-de-fucking-do.
