MSNBC host Ed Schultz told his audience Monday night that he was “disturbed” by the film “American Sniper” and to him, the film represented “a harsh reminder that soldiers were sent to war over under false pretense.”

“The Ed Show” host began his opening monologue about “American Sniper” by noting that the film “serves to highlight some of the most disturbing consequences of this war.”

Here is Schultz’s show monologue about “American Sniper”:

“It humanized the struggle of soldiers returning from combat with post-traumatic stress disorder. It also serves as a harsh reminder that soldiers were sent to war under false pretense — at least, that’s how I took it.

The movie’s success might suggest that Americans are hungry for a hero in the never-ending fighting in the Middle East.

However the real Chris Kyle was far more complicated than the hero portrayed in Eastwood’s movie.

In his autobiography, Kyle described the enemy as ‘savages and despicably evil.’

Kyle said his ‘only regret is that he didn’t kill more.’ Kyle even described killing as ‘fun’ and something he ‘loved’ to do. Simply put: Kyle’s version of the Iraq war was black and white....

Ed is one of those crazy loco sheep that even sheep dogs can’t protect. Ed is wolf bait and will drag stupid sheep to their doom if they ignore the sheep dog and follow stupidly after Ed and listen to his lunatic voice.

Odd.
I thought Ed was diagnosed as disturbed before the movie premiered.

I was disturbed by it too, because it reminded me of the brave soldiers who sacrificed so much only to have it all thrown away by Obama. I was afraid that would happen when we went to war under George Bush and my fears were confirmed when Obola was elected.

HAHA, “Ed Schultz Was ‘Disturbed’”

That was long before this video.

Ed in Private:
I hope this doesn't bring back toy guns for boys to play with.
The public schools ‘hard work’ would be in vain.
Boys belong in girls clothes with makeup playing with Barbie dolls and toy babies, not playing with toy guns. “

Remember the cartoon Johnny Quest? NF does.

So US soldiers being killed is not the most disturbing? Schultz is a traitor.
