Michael Moore took a Twitter potshot at the acclaim being heaped on Clint Eastwood's film "American Sniper," tweeting that snipers are cowards not heroes, The Daily Mail reported.
"American Sniper," starring Bradley Cooper, is based on the true story of Navy SEAL Chris Kyle, a special forces sharpshooter who was credited with 160 confirmed kills — reportedly the most in U.S. military history.

Kyle believed he actually took down 255 enemy combatants.
Moore, a left-wing populist filmmaker, tweeted to his 1.79 million followers: "My uncle killed by sniper in WW2. We were taught snipers were cowards. Will shoot u in the back. Snipers aren't heroes. And invaders r worse."
Eastwood's movie has won both popular and critical acclaim, being nominated for six Oscars.
The liberal New York Times gave the film a generally sympathetic review, placing it in the context of "Eastwood's commitment to the themes of vengeance and justice in a fallen world."
Moore made millions on his own films, including Fahrenheit 9/11 which portrayed the George W. Bush administration as having manipulated the aftermath of the 9/11 Islamist attacks on the U.S. to further its greed-driven agenda for wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Michael Moore needs to receive 175 grains of justice at 2580 fps.
If he wouldn’t last 2 seconds in a room with an unarmed US sniper.
I posted this before but I think it is worth repeating.
“There was something similar in the SF Bay area some years ago. It seems the night shift guy at a crematorium in Oakland was making extra cash by having drug dealers bring in the remains of their competition.
The night shift guy would either double stack the furnace or just add the extra body to the schedule. What undid him was a 300 lb + client who over stressed the furnace and caused a fire that had to have the FD put it out. That ended his “business”.

Gee, I wonder if he would have said the same about Vasili Zaitsev, from “Enemy at the Gates”?
Fatboy, when folks want your opinion, they’ll beat it out of you.
Did he ever denounce this?
