‘Too late, jack@ss': Seth Rogen feverishly backtracks after ‘American Sniper’ tweet
Twitchy ^ | January 19, 2015

Posted on 01/19/2015 4:14:29 PM PST by maggief

Seth Rogen took quite a bit of heat for this tweet about “American Sniper”:

Seth RogenVerified account ‏@Sethrogen American Sniper kind of reminds me of the movie that's showing in the third act of Inglorious Basterds.

11:05 AM - 18 Jan 2015

Apparently, he finally started feeling the burn. This afternoon, he’s trying to walk it back:

Seth RogenVerified account ‏@Sethrogen I just said something "kinda reminded" me of something else. I actually liked American Sniper. It just reminded me of the Tarantino scene.

2:55 PM - 19 Jan 2015

Seth RogenVerified account ‏@Sethrogen I wasn't comparing the two. Big difference between comparing and reminding. Apples remind me of oranges. Can't compare them, though.

2:59 PM - 19 Jan 2015

He’s not comparing AS to IG. There’s a film in IG that is a patriotic film the Nazis made glorifying one of their soldiers.

He made what he thought was a funny joke but it fell flat and got bundled with Moore’s stupid odious remark.

These guys are so casual about throwing out remarks for no reason, that will cost them millions of dollars during their career.

Good.

Indeed.

I visit Twitchy everyday. It is a really great site and you get all the good stuff on one page.

Sometimes I laugh and sometimes I cry :) at the stupidity of these celebs that is.

If I was a business exec or a celeb I would never even consider a Facebook or Twitter account. Too many casualties are a result of those sites but it is fun to watch a Liberal squirm about when they are caught saying something stupid. They are just full of themselves so naturally FB and Twitter are a natural place for them to spew their left-wing hatred of America.

American Sniper and The Imitation Game were two of the best movies I have seen in a long time.

Oh, thanks. I got it now. I forgot about that movie that Hitler was watching in the end of Inglorious Bastards.

...“the Nazi parody film ‘National Pride...”

Rogen has a problem with national pride? If we had a little more of it, both public and governmental, this country wouldn’t be in the messes it’s in right now.

He’s gotten more publicity over this in the past few days than in the past several years. Who the heck even knew who he was unless they followed Hollywood and/or infantile movies and movie stars?

What the heck is a Seth Rogen? What is its claim to fame? Hollywood queer, freak, or pervert?

~~That wimp has a bunch of projects upcoming. Not sure what is talent is ... perhaps “Sausage Party” is a clue.~~

As far as I can ascertain he is famous for excreting crap, which is odd because almost all creatures on Earth excrete crap. I have however noticed that his crap is unusually slimy, smelly and devoid of any worth.

~~Obama told Sharpton, then he gave the order for Hollywood to attack the film. The flying monkeys were then released only to be shot down by Americans.~~

Well there can't be too many members of SAG that come out to attack it since they made the nomination.

>>> Rogen and the rest of the cast had 24/7 protection. <<<

And we know they weren't hiding behind walls or fences because the liberals tell us fences and walls can't keep criminals out of the country.

He is the worst type of hypocrite, the producers of his upcoming projects no doubt told him to STFU. Of course he complies as money is more important than standing by your (dumb$hit) convictions.

Got into a discussion with a lefty today about this subject.

He was calling Snipers cowards along the lines of the leftist meme.

I said, so your in the military in a firefight, what would be the acceptable distance to shoot the enemy and not be labeled a coward? 50 yards OK?, 100? 200?

I confused the idiot.

This is the stupidity that passes for reasoned discussion with these people.

Should have asked the lefty if he thought Vasili Zaitsev was a coward?

He’s an LIV, I doubt the idiot knew who he was.

I had to speak slowly so he could read my lips.

How do you “walk back” from Nazi? Stalin? Pol Pot?
