American Sniper?

Interestingly, during her dressing down of Rogen and Moore^[1] you could actually hear Rosie O'Donnell cheering her on But O'Donnell recovered when the token conservative on the show agreed with Goldberg and defended the duo.










1. "We stood behind you Seth with your movie, and we said you had the right to make the movie you wanted to make. Give them the same respect, because we stood behind them. Michael Moore, you know better." She continued, "My brother came through the ’60s. If you've ever been to war, you can call people all kinds of names. Until the bombs are exploding around you, and people are dying around you, you need to be a little more sensitive, dudes. I get that you’re creative types, but so are they. So back up, or not?"

I should note that O'Donnell defended Rogen and Moore after first cheering Whoopi on during her chastisement since what I wrote was far from clear

Moore is just a narcissist who is afraid of fading away, so he rides the coat-tails of success by making outrageous comments that are designed to provoke a reaction. He is just a troll. An attention hound. Look at how much press he is getting over this. Without him saying crap like this, he would be forgotten in a heartbeat because nobody cares about him. He is a has-been.

Snipers are only bad if they're not on your side.

In the early days of sniperdom, it was thought that snipery was a "low blow", and not proper for real battle.

The armies also used to wear bright colors and just stand in a line and shoot at each other. I am sure the British didn't like the American Revolutionary tactics of hiding in the woods behind cover and shooting them dead.

All under the premise that combat is supposed to be "fair" when the real goal is to have the most unfair advantage in your favor as possible.

Michael Moore is a populist faker.

Cosby loved to talk about that.... the coin toss...

I think that's why Vietnam was so tough for us -- we were still fighting a "conventional" (and political) war while "Charlie" was doing whatever it took.

Yep. I think we learned a lot during that war. But we are still making a lot of the same mistakes in the middle east.

Yeah, all this "Americans are better than that" stuff, while the enemy has no rules. Very much like bringing a knife to a gunfight.

FUN FACT: If you BBQ Michael Moore, you can feed the Boston metropolitan area.

But with all that FAT, it would take WEEKS to put out the fire!

and they would all end up with food poisoning.

Speaking of which, American Sniper is now the top-grossing war-themed film of all time in North America passing Saving Private Ryan.

I'm not sure that it's true but I've heard that the reason that the British wore red is so that it would be harder for the enemy to see if they were wounded.
