Actor Compares Pro-Navy SEAL Movie 'Act of Valor' to Hitler Propaganda Film
Newsbusters ^ | 2/27/12 | Geoffrey Dickens

Posted on 02/27/2012 7:01:27 PM PST by Nachum

Star of TV’s Parenthood, Dax Shepard, compared the pro-U.S. military film that stars actual Navy SEALs, Act of Valor to Adolf Hitler's Triumph of the Will. On his Twitter feed the one time Ashton Kutcher prank boy from Punk'd wrote: "Saw 'Triumph of the Will' tonight, oh wait, I mean 'Act of Valor' great action." Apparently the reaction to Shepard's obnoxious tweet, comparing this week's #1 movie starring active duty Navy Seals to a Nazi propaganda movie was immediate, as he attempted to walk back his comments. Shepard lamely claimed he was: "not comparing

I'll trust her word over that of the idiot prank boy.

'Act of Valor' star Roselyn Sanchez preferred working with Navy SEALs to Hollywood actors

LOL, I had to click on the thread to see who the "actor" was and if I ever heard of him.
I haven't. Surprise, surprise, it's a nobody.

Praise God. I must live a “severely” sheltered life.

I didn’t see the movie sgtyork named and I’ve never heard of this idiot, and like you, I will make certain to avoid any films he’s in and I most certainly won’t watch his silly, inane TV series, or whatever he’s in.

He’s on the show Parenthood..plays a character named Crosby, a mediocre actor at best....leftover 60’s hippie, very unattractive.

He dated Kate Hudson but she got wise and ditched him.

My bet is he said it to impress his Hollywierd buddies...to be one of the gang and have them OOhh and AAhh over his liberal coolness and Obama-like manner...This guy couldn’t s**t his way out of a paper bag...

To paraphrase Sir Winston, or possibly Orwell,

“We (Dak Shephard & his Hollywood plaything du jour) sleep soundly in our bed because rough men (Navy Seals & others) stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm.” – Winston Churchill

Walking out of the theater tonight my friends & I were commenting that all of Congress and the MSM talking heads & management should be forced to watch the movie in the company of SEALs & their families.

After they finished watching (including ALL of the credits and dedication), Congress & the MSM would have sit through a question and answer session wherein THEY would answer to the SEALS & families.

Put the whole thing on CSPAN, or better yet, Pay Per View, with the proceeds going to the SEAL widows & orphans.

I liked him in “Idiocracy”. Looks like that was a casting home-run.

I never heard of this loser actor, but I can tell you this much.....if California was under attack during a major war, he would be on his knees begging the Navy Seals to save his pathetic life.

Saw it today.

Proves we dont need Hollywood to make a great movie anymore.

That is a really good thing.

That’s why he went to see it, so he could be snarky about it. Maybe didn’t even see it.

A lot of people did though. It was a big box office success.

He says he has been to the Middle East to entertain the troops including the SEALS.....I wonder if true.

Very unattractive wanna-be. He and his lefty friend “actors” are not like the Jimmy Stewart, John Wayne-types. They never did a decent thing in their life and lucked into their day job preforming some homosexual favors since those Hollywood producers who raped the Coreys are STILL NOT ARRESTED and operating in Hollywood.

No character whatsoever in most of Hollywood who only idolize themselves—narcissists—and sell their souls for plumb roles and promote their dysfunctional behaviors on children-—trying to normalize the abhorrent.

He must be SOOOO jealous of the real men.
