Actor Compares Pro-Navy SEAL Movie 'Act of Valor' to Hitler Propaganda Film
Newsbusters ^ | 2/27/12 | Geoffrey Dickens

Star of TV’s Parenthood, Dax Shepard, compared the pro-U.S. military film that stars actual Navy SEALs, Act of Valor to Adolf Hitler's Triumph of the Will. On his Twitter feed the one time Ashton Kutcher prank boy from Punk'd wrote: "Saw 'Triumph of the Will' tonight, oh wait, I mean 'Act of Valor' great action." Apparently the reaction to Shepard's obnoxious tweet, comparing this week's #1 movie starring active duty Navy Seals to a Nazi propaganda movie was immediate, as he attempted to walk back his comments. Shepard lamely claimed he was: "not comparing

That’s it idiot...keep insulting your audience!

I hope these POS end up hurting their very livelyhood by insulting a portion of their potential viewing audiences. I hope these people take it in the pocketbook.

Typical lefty asshat whose comment would be applauded by those he associates with in Hollywood, but since he got caught he can't squirm fast enough at this point.

I don’t recall any Acts of Valor portrayed in the Nazi propaganda film, Triumph of The Will. It was all Nazi Party gatherings and speeches, Hitler photo ops and SA,SS and Wehrmacht parade formations. There was no war footage (it was made in ‘34 I think, 5 years before the actual start of WWII.) These jackasses don’t know propaganda unless it bit ‘em in their brains, I mean their asses if they think Acts of Valor was propaganda. What these morons are really saying is anything that is patriotic or shows the pride of our brave men and women in the service risking their lives for our safety and way of life is propaganda. As far as I’m concerned, if they don’t like it, then they can go enjoy life where propaganda really exists, communist china, north korea or cuba, or just about any islamic country.

Scum like this are happy to live under the blanket these brave men provide. The freedom of speech they have is also compliments of the very men they mock.

When are people going to wake up and see idiots like this for what they are....losers and lazy scumbags that depend on you for the money in your wallet. I don’t watch his stupid show nor do I waste my money by spending it to go see their movies and make them rich. Down with hollywood and all it stands for.

God bless our military and this country.
