Trolly, I agree with you 100%. That fata$$ Moore has NO RIGHT to
judge someone who has put their life on the line for the service
of our country.
I consider myself a liberal (not so for the first 20 years of my
adult voting life) but I applaud the success of this movie. I
feel the same disdain for the people who are calling this
soldier names as I had for the "peace-loving" college students
who called the soldiers of Vietnam baby killers, from the safety
of their dorm rooms.
I enjoy Bill Maher's show for the most part. But he crossed the
line after 9/11, and he's crossed the line now.

Bill Mahr is a little man, filled with hate

My thoughts exactly Linda. The fools calling Kyle a "coward" or
a "psychopath" are no better than those who called those coming
back from Vietnam "baby killers" or spitting on them. These are
the same fools that consider Bo Berdahl a hero. I'm still
curious about what ever happened to the investigation regarding
him. It seems to have been squelched.

So Lefties don't like a particular movie? That's worth getting
one's panties in a wad over? :D :)
[/quote]
I'm not sure if you're addressing me when you mention "getting
ones panties in a wad", but I can assure you I'm not. I'm
rather enjoying poking fun at the hypocrisy of the "open and
more tolerant" party of the left. We all know how they react to
things that go against their ideology. Remember the outrage of
the left at the Passion of the Christ? Same thing.
The You Tube video director who was blamed for the Benghazi
killings remains in jail years later.
The President gives film makers unprecedented access to policies
and procedures of Seal Team Six to that they may make Zero Dark
Thirty, yet the man who actually shot Bin Laden is under
investigation for releasing too much information during
interviews with the press.
Then there's American Sniper. How can you not get at least a
little chuckle out of the hypocrisy?
This quote from a blogger below sums it up best. The liberal
left hates success (war on the rich etc) and will do anything to
make themselves relevant Eg: Dean Moore, Maher
[quote]It’s easier for the left to vent its anger on American
Sniper than to deal with its own irrelevance. The most shocking
thing about the movie is not any political statement, but its
presumption in dealing with the Iraq War and the men in it as if
it were WW2. It doesn’t confront the left; instead it acts as if
the left isn’t there. It fails to acknowledge the entire
worldview through which Hollywood dealt with the war.
The left spends most of its time living in its own bubble and is
shocked when events remind it that the rest of the country does
not really share its opinions and tastes. American Sniper’s
success is one of those explosive wake-up calls and the left has
responded to it with all the expected vicious pettiness.
A billboard for the movie was vandalized and attacks from lefty
outlets like New Republic and Vox not only target the movie, but
the dead man at the center of it. The smear campaign against
Kyle has reached new lows, because in death he has become an
even more powerful symbol of everything that the left hates.
Hollywood tried to “Vietnamize” Iraq in the popular imagination.
American Sniper shows they failed.
Whether or not American Sniper wins the requisite number of
Oscars, its impact on Hollywood and on ordinary Americans will
not go away. The anti-war movie is in eclipse. The movies that
tell the stories of the sacrifices that American veterans have
made in the war against Islamic terrorists are rising.[/quote]

I don't know if this link will work. Incase it doesn't its a
picture of Sarah Palin holding a sign that says Fuc_ You Michael
Moore and there are crosshairs in the O's of Moore. I really
find this distasteful of Palin to do....especially since she is
considering a run for president in 2016.

Are you keeping wardrobe secrets you'd like to talk about? ;D
It's the silliness of the whole thing.
I consider movies to be Entertainment, with a primary goal of
generating money.
I don't care what Moore or Maher think about them, nor do I care
what people think about Maher and Moore's thoughts on them, lol.
So many people with artificially inflated egos who think their
opinion is relevant. Guess what: It isn't. Shaddap and save
it for Entertainment Tonight, lol.
eta: I watched "The Interview" over the weekend since Netflix
has it already and It didn't cost me anything. As a comedy it's
mid-pack at best. Probably would have flopped at the box office.

I noticed it suddenly went silent. Either the military has
something to hide, or the CIA is insisting they hide something,
lol. There is too much that's strange about the entire story for
it to be a simple desertion. I think that's a cover story.
We'll see I guess. Or maybe not.

Or it was a simple desertion and Obama traded five high ranking
Taliban prisoners for a simple deserter.

I don't really get the politics of this thing. For the last
decade we have heard "I support the warrior, not the war",
might be not so much and that ain't gonna work in much of
America.

That's exactly what I think. Obama has ordered them to keep it
under cover for as long as they can.

Could be. If that were the case I'd expect info to have been
leaked in order to embarrass Obama by now. Nobody in the
military or intelligence agencies are spilling a drop!
