Now that the movie bio of Chris Kyle’s life, American Sniper, is on track to set the record for having the biggest second-week box office for a January release, Matt Taibbi of Rolling Stone has come undone. Evidently, the film is so over the target, it’s got some vile, hate-filled progressives running for cover and others like Taibbi doubling down.
In Taibbi’s latest Rolling Stone commentary, “American Sniper Is Almost too Dumb to Criticize,” the writer felt compelled to use the “ludicrous and idiotic” politics of the blockbuster film as a springboard for – what else? – a ludicrous and idiotic anti-war, Bush-bashing political diatribe.
"The only thing that forces us to take it seriously is the extraordinary fact that an almost exactly similar worldview consumed the walnut-sized mind of the president who got us into the war in question.
"It's the fact that the movie is popular, and actually makes sense to so many people, that's the problem."
Taibbi has another problem. And it’s personal. He admonishes director Clint Eastwood for including “crass stupidities” like a scene of a “shirtless buffed-up SEAL Kyle” and his screen wife “gasping at the televised horror of the 9/11 attacks.” Earlier in his punditry he refers to the “hunky Bradley Cooper.” Does the impudent word-slinger have issues?
Progressives like Taibbi have a real aversion to masculine men doing masculine things like taking out bad guys. The writer was befuddled when his fellow audience members in the “liberal-ass Jersey city movie theater” stood up and cheered after they watched Kyle make an impossibly precise hit on an evil sniper. The concepts of good and evil seem to irk Taibbi as well. . .

Liberals live in an unreal fantasy world and they are confused whenever the real world intrudes.
Who are RS going to call on when The Caliphate comes to their offices?
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.

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”
Rolling Stone ... isn’t that the magazine that faked a Fraternity gang-rape story to pump up its failing circulation?
Yeah, the problem is everyone else. Yeah sure you betcha!
> 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.
Damn that’s good...: )

He was programmed from the beginning to be a idiot Leftwing punk.
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!!!
