Liberals live in an unreal fantasy world and they are confused whenever the real world intrudes.

Hey Taibbi, the movie is not even political.

White privilege: Being held accountable for something your ancestors might have done, by people who refuse to be held accountable for their children’s actions.

negative attention seeker

The psychology is the same with guns.

If another man is defending his own family, they are threatened by the notion they may also be expected to as well.

And here’s the root of the problem:

Matt Taibbi was born in 1970 to Mike Taibbi, an NBC television reporter, and his wife. He grew up in the Boston, Massachusetts suburbs. He attended Concord Academy in Concord, Massachusetts, and graduated in 1992[1] from Bard College located in Annandale-on-Hudson, New York. He spent a year abroad studying at Saint Petersburg Polytechnical University in Russia.

Your stereotypical East Coaster spoiled brat with the media daddy genes, the snob education and guilt-ridden “white privilege”

Guys like this "writer" ("You write letters"? from Clint Eastwoods: Unforgiven) Matt Taibbi obviously live in a different universe than I do.

Rolling Stone ... isn’t that the magazine that faked a Fraternity gang-rape story to pump up its failing circulation?

I think I see what his problem is.

" Matt Taibbi was born in 1970 to Mike Taibbi, an NBC television reporter, and his wife. He grew up in the Boston, Massachusetts suburbs.

Who cares? NO ONE read this tripe. Rolling Stone is #68 in the top 100 magazines by circulation, down from 11 at its peak. It’s traffic is less World Net Daily’s or Breitbart. Laugh off Taibi. It just doesn’t matter.

The vast majority of the American people have had it with these low life progressive vermin dregs....period!!! Instead of contesting these morons & buffoons, which is useless...just go out folks, and see the magnificent film that Clint Eastwood, Bradley Cooper and Sienna Miller have given to us.

Greatness comes not from Obama, progressive, collective effort...but from strong, independent, individuals, who have made our country great whether in business, the military, the society. Eastwood/Cooper have given us a film for the ages. Just remember when war makes an appaearance.....soldiers fight not so much for the cause.....but for their brothers, sisters and themselves....and that takes tremendous indivdual effort, focus, dedication and love of their fellow “band of brothers & sisters!!! God bless Eastwood, Cooper & Miller for showing us the glory & splendor of the American individual military man or woman!!! America, the great nation she once, was is coming back, big time!!!

Folks....get out enmasse and catch this brilliant film and work of art!!!

The Rolling Stone writer is yet another example of a LIBERAL, individual,
who couldn't pour pi$$ from a boot if the directions were written on the heel.

The real difficulty is the fear on Taibbi's part that war can be black and white, that all the moral pretensions of the sophisticate don't amount to much when the shooting starts. Most veterans know this, all combat veterans do: it boils down to people who are trying to kill you and you, who are trying to stay alive. If it's women and children who are trying to kill you, yes, it can be a wrenching emotional tragedy at the time, but there isn't a great of moral ambiguity about it. The nightmares come later. And that's the point of the book, and of the movie, I take it, although I have yet to see it.

Taibbi doesn't get it. The moral ambiguity he senses, writing from his safe, secure ivory tower, is a luxury the combat soldier cannot afford. For Taibbi, it makes the combat soldier less of a man. And he's wrong.

I went to the same high school as Taibbi. I just missed overlapping with him. I was a middle-class kid amidst mostly rich kids.

After that high school sent me one their usual super-left-wing mailings asking for money, I wrote back and said “I’ll give X dollars for every graduate in this year’s class who’s going in the military.” Amazingly, they actually had one, so I paid up. They then asked “hey, we want to do a series of alumni profiles of people who served in the military. Can we do a profile of you?” I was just a reservist at the time, but they really needed some names. (In fairness, they did manage to find a few active-duty people—and they wrote a respectful article.)

Still, almost any public high school of the same size could have found dozens of people who served or have served active duty. After all, 24 percent of American males are veterans. Of course, that varies by age, but still, 12 percent of males in the 25 to 34 year-old range are veterans. These public schools wouldn’t have to rely on reservists to fill out the story. These folks from these eastern private schools just don’t have contact with people who’ve served.
