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?

negative attention seeker

Indeed. But it's not really with the writer, he's just a standard progressive d-bag.
The real negative attention seeker is Rolling Stone, which has given him a forum for his pap. Even bad press is still good PR, and they've had a string of controversial articles over the last few months that have generated a lot of press/buzz and certainly boosted their 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. 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".

I have to agree with Steely Dan:

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!!!

They may be part of "The Caliphate", who owns them? Who owns the owners?

There are tangled and torturous money trails all over the map.
