Left-leaning documentary filmmaker Michael Moore has come under fire from conservatives over his criticism of "American Sniper," but it turns out his cold war with the biopic's director, Clint Eastwood, started ten years earlier.
Moore took to Facebook to confirm a report on Salon that Eastwood had threatened to shoot him during the 2005 National Board of Review dinner. Moore had been in attendance to receive an award for his scathing indictment of the Bush administration, "Fahrenheit 9/11," while Eastwood was being honored for "Million Dollar Baby."
"Ten years ago this past week, Clint Eastwood stood in front of the National Board of Review awards dinner and announced to me and to the crowd that he would "kill" me if I ever came to his house with my camera for an interview," Moore wrote on his Facebook page late Thursday about the Jan. 11, 2005, incident.
"'I'll kill you," Eastwood declared, according to the post.

not a threat. a promise.
Just another reason to like Clint even more,
if that fat ass came to my house with a camera
I’d want to shoot him too.
Hey Mikey, I would expect to say something like pass the mashed potatoes and gravy, it’s believable.
Note to haters of all things California:
Clint is a native Golden Stater.There are still
many of us who see things like him, Jimmy Doolittle,
and George Patton. If you don’t lump us all in
with the whackos who have taken over this place
then there is no need to be offended by those of
us who stand up and defend ourselves from idiotic
blanket statements made by some.
“Michael Moore confirms Clint Eastwood once threatened to ‘kill’ him at awards ceremony”
Michael Moore is trying to make us mad at Clint Eastwood.
Because Clint failed to do it.
Please stop insulting pigs by comparing them to Moore;-)
one could most likely cook with whats in the bottom of moore’s bathtub.
Uh, aren’t we suppose to move on as the liberal/socialists profess?
He was a donut taster for the German Air Force. He was a member of the Luftwaffle.
The Germans have much higher standards than that.
the scum boy has morphed into raw sewage!
Payback is a bitch. Especially for Moore's like Moore.

M Moore is one of the greatest capitalist of all time. He makes millions off of saying crap. People eat it up like cake. Right and Left. He just laughs while his bank account grows.
Too bad Eastwood was only kidding.
So we’re really going to believe that lying tub of lard?
I’ll bet you anything that Moore wet his pants.
Too bad old Moore didn’t show up on Clint’s door on Maui. No one would find the body for a long time and Clint would get away.
Clint Eastwood was drafted into the United States Army, and served his hitch honorably.
Moore? Not so much ...
Well, Moore the coward that he is never went over to Clint’s house, so it worked.
