Seth Rogen Clears the Air, Again, About American Sniper Tweet

In case you’re not up-to-date on the latest Thing To Be Outraged About, here’s a quick recap: Seth Rogen and Michael Moore tweeted some things in relation to the movie American Sniper that people didn’t like. In Moore’s case, it was an observation about how cowardly snipers can be. In Rogen’s case, it was about how the film reminded him of the Nazi propaganda film in Inglourious Basterds.

There was some outrage about it, and Rogen clarified on Twitter Monday that he wasn’t comparing the film about Chris Kyle to Nazi propaganda; the former just reminded him of the Basterds short film.

Well, apparently, no one noticed that clarification, because the Rogen pile-on hasn’t stopped. Whoopi Goldberg scolded Rogen on The View for not showing the film and America’s veterans enough respect. Country singers like Craig Morgan and Blake Shelton expressed their disgust with his sentiments. Kid Rock went so far as to say, “Seth Rogen, your uncle probably molested you.”

Yes Seth, you should clear the air. You don't want to run into an angry SEAL. That could be hazardous to your health. Especially since the court of public opinion is turning.

Seth Rogen from the Shire, we hates him my Precious, we hates him, we hates him forever, the dadblasted, fur bearin’ varmint! Gollum gollum gollum!

LOL, his grandfather served, so he isn’t anti-vet.

He sounds like Michael Medved.

If these two clowns found themselves kneeling in the clutches of the ISIS jihadists their attitude regarding the military and snipers would adjust quickly.

If you have to explain it, you didn’t do it right.

If you have to explain it again, you really didn’t do it right.

Eff u

You fat cross eyed Yogi Bear looking red diaper grandbaby with the hot wife in love with your cash

Ingrate bastard

Go back to Canada

"Rogen points out his own grandfather was a veteran."

So we know that it isn't genetic.

Feldman to the rescue of Rogen after Goldberg whoops his ass

Biting my tongue

Bet ol Seth can’t wait for Bibis visit

[TigersEye]

Seth Rogen's explanations kind of remind me of Zyklon B.

I don't mean anything by that though.

[Lazamataz]

I think he stepped in it without real malice. I’m willing to cut him a little slack. And I’m hardcore, so my benevolence is meaningful.

[Lazamataz]

One ‘clarification/retraction’ is typical liberal BS but two starts to get my attention.

[ansel12]

Seth is a foreigner, and his parents “met in Israel at a kibbutz, as “radical Jewish socialists.”

So he gets rich here, and mocks this movie about a national war hero that was murdered not very long ago.

He was mocking more than the movie.

Rogen clarified on Twitter Monday that he wasn’t comparing the film about Chris Kyle to Nazi propaganda; the former just reminded him of the Basterds short film.

That's not a clarification - it's a reiteration.

[Lazamataz]

Nah. Read his full statement. It’s clear as a bell. Cut the clown a little slack.

[Lazamataz]

I think time will tell. Since he reached out TWO times, with the second retraction being quite clear, let’s cut the Canadian some slack.

If he screws up later, we will know then.

My take? Jesus said 70 x 7. Let’s at least give him one.

Go, Seth, and sin no more.

[Lazamataz]

Maybe I’m too forgiving, but Christianity will do that to a fellow. :)

[MaxMax]

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, OK. I keep kicking you in the toodles over and over and I cannot help myself!
Suckers!

[Zhang Fei]

Nah. Read his full statement. It’s clear as a bell. Cut the clown a little slack.

So he actually wasn't being snide. Wonders will never cease.

[SkyDancer]

They were just upset that the left didn’t have a sniper hero that was killing American soldiers.

[Lazamataz]

You read it. Excellent. It was NOT a non-denial denial. It was earnest.

I give the boy props for very unusual behavior in 2015: Earnestness and assumption of responsibility.

Nowadays, as per the Obama example, wayyyy too many people double-down on mistakes, and in Obama's case, outright evil.

So, Seth done good.
