Actually, American Sniper made the American public face the war that was fought in their stead, and they don&#8217;t like being confronted with the images that they ignored with their little yellow ribbons stuck magnetically to their automobiles.<\/p>\n<p>The most ridiculous complaint comes <a href=\"http:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/us-muslims-threatened-american-sniper-224720836.html\">from the Muslim community<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The [American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC)] notified the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and local police about the threats and asked the two Hollywood stars to condemn the violent rhetoric used by filmgoers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Your visibility, influence, and connection to the film would be a tremendous force in drawing attention to and lessening the serious dangers facing the respective communities,&#8221; the letters signed by ADC president Samer Khalaf said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Perhaps they&#8217;d be happier if Mister Eastwood had made the villains in the movie about the Iraq War to be Neo-Nazis, you know, like Hollywood did with Tom Clancy&#8217;s &#8220;The Sum of All Fears&#8221;. I doubt that most Americans would take time out of their lives to verbally attack American Muslims for the portrayal of al Qaeda enemies in a movie. So, I don&#8217;t believe their complaint in the first place.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/time.com\/3681500\/bill-maher-american-sniper\/\">Bill Maher<\/a>, that moron who keeps me from subscribing to HBO, decided that he bring attention to himself by calling Chris Kyle a \u2018Psychopathic Patriot\u2019 because Kyle took out the trash. The folks Kyle killed would have killed American troops just as fast as they would have killed Maher or any other American they could find, either in Iraq or here in the United States. <\/p>\n<p>Howard &#8220;The Scream&#8221; Dean decided to inject himself into the debate by claiming that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.inquisitr.com\/1789101\/howard-dean-says-american-sniper-fans-are-angry-tea-party-supporters\/\">\u2018American Sniper\u2019 Fans Are \u2018Angry\u2019 Tea Party Supporters<\/a>. I guess we know which demons haunt Howard Dean&#8217;s dreams. <\/p>\n<p>I could quote a new Leftist everyday with some specious complaint about a movie that most of them haven&#8217;t seen, but the fact remains that the movie has grossed over $200 million in a little more than week since it&#8217;s release. If there&#8217;s a political warning in those kinds of numbers, it&#8217;s one that the left needs to pay attention.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, since Michael Moore made it acceptable to criticize the troops, everyone with a keyboard has &hellip; <a title=\"American Sniper discussion\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=57873\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">American Sniper discussion<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":57741,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-57873","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-antiwar-crowd"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57873","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=57873"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57873\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/57741"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=57873"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=57873"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=57873"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
