I’m sure it will come as a surprise to virtually no
one that Michael Moore, that rather infamous leftwing lard-ass, is no fan of the
new movie, "American Sniper." And it’s according
to this over-weight reject from a fat farm that men such as Chris Kyle are not
to be regarded as heroes, because, says Moore, they are essentially nothing more
than cowards. Now keep in mind here that
such an opinion comes from the same guy who looks upon Castro as his hero and who
was also a big fan of Hugo Chavez.
It was over this past weekend that Moore took to
Twitter to vent. And it was in so doing
that he proceeded to, as only he can, take a number of what were a number of rather
sophomoric potshots at the acclaim now being heaped upon the Clint Eastwood
film, "American Sniper," starring Bradley Cooper. The movie is based on the true story of Navy
SEAL Chris Kyle, a Special Forces sharpshooter, who was credited with 160 confirmed
kills, which was reported to be the most in U.S. military history.
Over the year Moore has received some degree of
notoriety for making rabid left-wing films.
He tweeted to the over 1.7 million imbeciles who follow him: "My
uncle killed by sniper in WW2. We were taught snipers were cowards. Will shoot
u in the back. Snipers aren't heroes. And invaders r worse." This is another example where those on the
left reveal just how much it is that they hate this country and loath our
military. So slander those who defend
this country is the lowest of lows.
Eastwood's movie has won both popular and critical
acclaim and has been nominated for six Oscars. And while the liberal New York Times was
perhaps a little less blunt than Moore, it still could not quite bring itself
to heap any level of actual praise on either the movie or the man that it was
about. They did manage to give the film
a generally sympathetic review, albeit with one odd caveat, placing it in the
context of "Eastwood's commitment to the themes of vengeance and justice
in a fallen world."
The truth of matter is that Kyle's actions are
believed to have saved the lives of hundreds of U.S. service members. Service
members’ whose lives, I’m quite sure, that Moore would have preferred not to
have been saved. The film is broadly
based on Kyle's bestselling 2012 autobiography, which is also the story of the
trauma he suffered as a result of the war in Iraq. In February 2013, Kyle was murdered by Eddie
Ray Routh, a soldier suffering from post-traumatic stress whom Kyle had
befriended.
As many you are most likely very aware, Moore has
made millions on his rather unique approach to cinematography. His movies are essentially nothing more than
pure unadulterated leftwing drivel that equates to mindless propaganda. One of his movies, Fahrenheit 9/11, was
released in 2004 and portrayed the George W. Bush administration as having
manipulated the aftermath of the 9/11 Islamist attacks on the U.S. to further
its greed-driven agenda for wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Other examples of Moore's cinematographic prowess
are his Oscar-winning 2002 documentary, "Bowling For Columbine," which
was his blatantly deceptive depiction regarding gun violence in America and also
served as being part of his ongoing campaign against firearms. In 2007 another one of his films, Sicko, presented
viewers with his rather twisted perception of healthcare here in America. And then in 2009 he released another movie, this
one was titled, Capitalism: A Love Story.
Moore is a big Obama supporter, so it was no
surprise the ‘Capitalism’ had as its subject the late-2000s financial crisis
and the U.S. economy during the transition between the incoming Barry ‘O’ and the
outgoing ‘W’. Addressing a press conference at its release, Moore said,
"Democracy is not a spectator sport, it's a participatory event. If we
don't participate in it, it ceases to be a democracy. So Obama will rise or
fall based not so much on what he does but on what we do to support him.”
In watching any of the movies that Moore had made,
it becomes pretty obvious, pretty quickly that he rarely worries about getting
the facts right. His record for accuracy
is far from what one might be referred to as being stellar. His documentary,
"Fahrenheit 9/11," contained over 50 instances, both within the movie
itself and in representations made about it during the films promotion, that
bore absolutely no resemblance to the facts as they related to the subject matter
of his film.
But look, I feel pretty confident in say that we can
expect much more harsh criticism to be thrown at Eastwood’s film as the
negative leftist reaction to sure to continue to ramp up. The popularity of
"American Sniper" is sure to send more of them over the edge in the
coming weeks and days. And I’m sure that before too long we can also expect to
be subjected to passive-aggressive versions of such sentiments to make their
way into state-controlled media reports. So be prepared.
