Clint Eastwood's "American Sniper" had another jaw-dropping weekend, reaching an impressive $200 million at the domestic box office. Despite the film's colossal success, liberals like former DNC chairman Howard Dean and director Michael Moore just won't let "American Sniper" go.
Over the weekend, Moore invoked Jesus in a slew of incendiary tweets aimed at dishonoring American soldiers and the Iraq war.
One tweet stated "Tomorrow's Sunday School (1 What Would Jesus Do? Oh, I know what he'd do --hide on top of a roof and shoot people in the back!"
He followed that tweet with: Sunday School: (2) But What Would Jesus Do if he could be a sniper & save soldiers lives by shooting 'savages' in the back?"
Fox News' Starnes sounded off on Monday against Moore: "There was a time when Hollywood and Democrats stood in solidarity with our fighting men and women," Starnes said. "Folks like Jimmy Stewart and Bob Hope and John Wayne - American heroes. Those days are long gone and our sweet land of liberty has been soiled by the stinking stench of Michael Moore and Howard Dean and their liberal minions."

Michael Moore is an idiot. A flat out idiot.
But to be fair, neither of them in this “battle of the theologians”? understands the teachings of Jesus.
Manteca Man?
My new tagline is the Original Mossad motto.
Moore is nothing more than a steaming pile of dog squeeze that knows how to spell.
I am VERY careful about what claiming my Lord and Savior would do. Since Jesus is God I would say, “Look at the Old Testament and what God did then”.
Keep it up, Bluto.
Manteca is the Spanish Word for Lard...
He would still have the initials “MM”
Neither side (Michael Moore and Todd Starnes) is going to fare well on this: one side (Moore) uses Jesus with a straw man argument, while the other side (Starnes) presents Him as being akin to the God of War, Ares.
He might trying invoking Mohhamed, and see how that works.
Number 1: He'd hide on a rooftop and shoot the savages in the back.
That was easy! Gimme another one!
He has to stand on a table and yell out everything he has said about the armed forces.
Michael Moore calls snipers "cowards".
I'd like to give Moore a semi-auto rifle with bayonet, say a good proletarian weapon like an SKS with the "civilized" 10 round magazine, point him at the enemy and tell him to take him on, "face to face, man to man!"
I've only had to make one "fix bayonets, over the top, Marines!", on-line (no, not Internet!) assault. Thankfully, we got to an empty trench before having to use the bayonets. One time is enough for me!
Reach OUT and touch someone, say 100 yards, 200 yards, 500 yards is fine with me!
Michael Mann just might come to the same conclusion.
In Fat Boy’s imagination - Jesus would also counsel women on getting abortions and would promote gay marriages at the temple.
1.) Jesus did say “You have heard it said ‘an eye for an eye’, but I tell you ‘Love your enemies...’”
2.) With that in mind, there is an argument for Just War against radical extremists, which most people know about.
And with that in mind (2) neither side will win in this argument given (1 and 2).
Michael Moore is an idiot that uses Jesus in a Straw Man setting, and Starnes presents Jesus as being akin to the God of War, Ares.
Not sure why his remarks should even be dignified with a response. Let them stand for what they are.
And, perforce, much bigger around...
The better solution would be to kill all of them....Then you don't have to worry about how much is enough.
Really?
In your world, there's a 1:1 proportionality between Hollywood Libs and patriotic conservatives?
REALLY???
Moore just keeps on digging
I respectfully disagree. I believe that God Himself will greet Michael Moore when Moore faces judgment.
It is mine to avenge; I will repay. In due time their foot will slip; their day of disaster is near and their doom rushes upon them. - Deut. 32:35
