Michael Moore Doubles Down on the American Sniper Hate

I guess if you didn't have a reason to avoid Michael Moore movie's going forward this should do it.
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?”
I guess Michael Moore doesn't want to see the movie. In whatever case he is trolling the Right just like he wants to.
Fox News’ Todd 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.”
I suppose Fox News can just ignore provocateurs like Moore but it is such red meat they probably cannot. This is the problem with liberals they just cannot fathom how movies like this are enjoyed by Americans they clearly do not respect. In fact Howard Dead spouts off.
“There’s a lot of anger in this country, and the people who go see this movie are people who are very angry,” Dean said. “And this guy basically says ‘I’m going to fight on your side.’ … I bet you if you looked at a cross-section of the Tea Party and the people who go to see this movie, there’s a lot of intersection.”
Yeah $200 million two week gross were just angry people who are also Tea Party nuts. I wonder how many of these sorts of people produced, bankrolled, and stared in this movie. It seems that Bradley Cooper who will probably win an Oscar isn't some angry Tea Party nut job. In any case it would be nice to be entertained by a movie and not have to be subjected to nuance and ambiguity all the time.
