I haven’t seen the movie,

Rolling Stone is mostly dreck wrapped up with sugar coated music news to make the leftist medicine go down more favorably, (and did they ever revolve that whole rape/frat house controversy, i haven’t kept up?)

As is often the case, because some article is just a name with lengthy paragraphs following it in a glossy magazine, the words somehow get elevated to some sort of serious intellectual unbiased commentary where we have to remember to filter or be influenced. Where if you’ve met or actually seen some of these ‘reporters’ up close and in person (and I’m suspecting this person is no less an example) you’d never let them near your front door or even allow them to stop and pet your dog on the sidewalk,

Leftists should pause and reflect before they offer the world a view into their minds (yes, I know...)

This movie serves as a Rorschach Test. You, Sir, are the weakest link.

I find it comforting that most people I know, even living in the People’s Republic of Massachusetts, would still feel the same way you do.

Well, I guess as long as you stay away from Cambridge, that is.

Nothing wrong with Cambridge that 7 megatons of whip ass would not cure.

Taibbi reminds me of an idiot who cannot strike out at a foe so instead he chews off his own leg and expects everyone to pity him.

Meanwhile, back in DC, Obama orders up more drone attacks with a 25% chance of hitting the correct target and the left is silent.

Sgt. York would likely be tried for war crimes if idiots like this had their way.

No, this is different. There is a big difference between opposing a war on religious grounds or cowardice--and actively joining the enemy.

The outrage the leftist media has displayed at this movie has been quite eye-opening. Not that I didn't already know that they were actively working to undermine America all along. But the collective hysteria the past two weeks has been almost incomprehensible.

I saw the movie last night and it was gripping from start to finish. Bradley Cooper is fantastic in the role. The only criticism I had was the abruptness of the ending...as if they changed the ending completely from what had originally been written, which, unsurprisingly, is exactly what happened.

The media IS the enemy. And there will be a reckoning at some point.
