” “American Sniper” is now expected to surpass $200 million in ticket sales, demonstrating that the American public has a lot more gratitude for the sacrifices our troops make for freedom than the loudest mouths in Tinseltown.”

If the “Hollywood Homos” keep it up, it might hit 400 million.

That fat liberal pig is a physical and moral coward who has no credibility at all on the subject.

They loved snipers when it was “Enemy at The Gates.”

And everybody remember it is racist to go see American Sniper instead of Selma. We have to go see Selma to prove to Al Sharpton that we aren’t racist.

And Oscar voters have to prove they aren’t racist and vote for Selma for best picture.

Can liberals get any more inane and absurd??? Every time I think they have gone as far as possible, something else such as the Michael Moore or Al Sharpton stirring the lot comes up.

"...I'm sensing a purposeful smear thrown out there the same time that Hollywood couldn't come up with anything good to say about Selma...thus kick up a dust storm on someone who's dead...typically"

Hollywood producers should sign a pledge not to make any more movies with guns.

It’s not your father’s Hollywood. After WWII, the Army’s most decorated hero, Audie Murphy, was celebrated and welcomed in Hollywood, given a career and an Oscar.

Today, the anti-Audies get the adulation: Morbidly obese, obscenely rich 1%’er like “I ate the whole thing” Moore, Rogen, Maher, the Hanoi bitch, and those of their one-cell ilk.

In the end, though, money still talks. What have those slime balls done for Hollywood lately?

Pretty ironic that Rogan would be upset about a movie showing our side killing terrorists while he protested that Sony had pulled his movie about MURDERING a foreign leader.

“American Sniper” aside as part of the culture wars, snipers have never been been very popular, even by their own side.

If captured in WWII, particularly on the Russian front, snipers were often summarily executed (but then, so were regular SS).

It wasn’t just the Soviets and Germans. Such executions occurred during our civil war and others. There was a lot of antipathy felt towards them.

Snipers lie in wait, concealed, sometimes in elaborate camouflage (`ghillie suits’) and they can do a lot of damage before getting away.
Much of their training is in setting up for the shot undetected and then escaping.

After seeing your buddies/comrades dropping dead from heard but unseen gun shots and being unable to spot the source, snipers were something like submarines forced to surface—after days or weeks of terror, convoy corvettes and destroyers kept shooting until they sank. Even their own infantry found snipers a little creepy.

So, more facts for the premise of the movie: it takes balls to snipe.
Snipers haven’t always been heroes, but Chris Kyle was the real deal.

The Lefty Hollywood crowd proves that they are clowns just smart enough to read a script. They are the useful fools who mix up the political poison for the Kool Aid drinkers. In their world, wrong is right and the ends justifies the means. They live in the fantasy world on the Unicorn Farm.
