In a Weekly Standard piece titled, “The ‘American Sniper’ Freakout: Why the Left Can’t Tolerate This Movie,” Mark Hemingway does a fine job of breaking down exactly why the Left either hates “American Sniper” or is dishonestly claiming it is a left-wing movie. It’s a thorough, must-read that perfectly lays out the case. Outside the context of the film itself, there is an additional reason the Left can’t tolerate Eastwood’s masterpiece: every act of apostasy, even one, must be punished.
The Left cannot tolerate dissent. If just one thing sneaks through the institutions the Left is desperate to hold a monopoly on, it is immediately crushed, defamed, mocked, and Frankenstein-villaged until the end of time.
Just try to read this from Vox without seeing the vein throbbing in the author’s forehead:
Faced with a choice between altering its narrative to account for that gray versus altering the facts of history, the film chose the latter. It adopted an “honesty shmonesty” approach to the war: in its retelling, Iraq was a fight of Good Americans against Bad Terrorists, led by Chris Kyle, the Good-est American of them all.
Translation: “Harumph! Harumph! Harumph!”
Here’s Rolling Stone’s troll-king Matt Taibbi:

Socialist collectivism cannot exist with racist collective type prejudices against entire groups.
Sooner or later the mask will fall. Sooner or later we will find a way to counter strike. Right now they are in their surprize attack mode.
Already you have idiot liberals saying blond girls should not have braids because they are not black, they are appropriating culture, like the Red Skins affair.
Sooner or later people will tire of these leftist faggot Talebans against all forms of self preservation and individual respect.
*Socialist collectivism cannot exist withOUT racist collective type prejudices against entire groups.
Just came back from the movie. Thank you Clint Eastwoid for making this honest movie that will stand as a timeless tribute to our American Warriors. The theater was sold out. Had to go to a different town and buy tickets 1.5 hours early to get a ticket. Not bad for Connectucut.
You’re missing the point. Liberals hate Christianity and individualism so much that they would rather see themselves destroyed by Muslims than see Christianity flourish.
Their hatred completely engrosses them.
How long before an ‘Executive Order” telling us which movies we must and must not watch?
I believe it!
My 4PM matinee IMAX 450 seat today was full!
I’ll bet it will break records.
Too bad Clint Eastwood did’t get a nomination from the academy...now they look like arsehole$s!
I haven’t seen the movie but I am going to soon. To all those who think being a sniper is cowardly have no clue what they are talking about. A bit off topic but a group of snipers during WWII in a place called Stalingrad decimated Nazis. Snipers are a critical component of the battlefield. They can f* s#@$ up if need be. Or would it been just better to not kill the coward Nazis any way possible? Its cowardly to pat the enemy on the back and tell them sorry we use those cowardly snipers to keep you from killing us. Makes no sense but then again the liberal progressive democrat etc. don’t ever make sense.
The attacks are most likely being coordinated by the WH.
Pray America is waking
Sure they would feel “entitled” to a rescue.
Good comment. : )
It would be nice if the Finns could make a good movie about Simo Hayha and his fellows. Showing them wasting hundreds of bullshitvik invaders would really make little lefty heads hurt.
There's a reason for that.
I don’t think they would change. Indeed such an experience would make them even more zealously anti American. I think we tend to make the mistake that liberals have some ability to reason.
Do they assume someone would rescue them?
Not only would they assume they'd be rescued, they feel entitled to it.
Funny, I just posted the same thing, then I scroll down and see you posted it an hour earlier.
Honestly
The claim the Wermacht at Stalingrad were cowards is running loose with facts
It was a meat grinder for all
Bash Nazis all you want but the average German grunt....especially on the eastern front fighting the Red Army was hardly a coward
Their survival rates were ominous
*wonder if Goetz knows I still ping him a decade later?
>> Very few people came to my aid
I assume within the province of your vocational peers?
Group-think is strong among unionists and leftists. To “uphold what is right” is to infringe on the stability and force of collective influence.

Funny!!!
