Fact-checkers are taking aim at American Sniper

[JakeStarkey]

Do you understand "hyperbole"? Of course not.

Sure I do.......but obviously you don't. .....

I am glad you looked up 'hyperole'. Fell on your face again once you were confronted with your problems with abstraction.

that's the thing, kyle was not and should not be regarded as a 'positive influence'
he was a skilled sniper, but that skill set alone shouldn't make him anyone's hero

He is to the men who came from from Iraq because Kyle was there taking down your heroes.

he was a skilled sniper. what did he do that was heroic?

 

[AvgGuyIA]

did he? seems like his family has made money on the book - and that's okay - but let's not pretend it was a non-profit endeavor for him.

What is your fucking defect? Shit man!

The more popular the movie is the more hysterical the left gets. Which means the more popular the movie gets.

I know, isn't it grand.... it just sells and sells while Selma languishes.

It doesn't get any better than this.

Are the liberals going to fact check Selma?

I was going to say the same thing .

If you believe it is pertinent to an emphatic point.

Several important falsehoods have been documented regarding the popular film American Sniper. Some links fact-checking the falsehood-ridden movies are here. Conservatives are likely not to read these fact-checks because it hurts their sensibilities as they want everything portrayed in the movie to be true.:

American Sniper The True Story of Chris Kyle
American Sniper fact vs. fiction How accurate is the Chris Kyle movie

What a pathetic little parasite you must be, did you bother to actually read your links? Neither were particularly critical of the artistic license taken in the production of the movie, the second article had to correct their own mistakes at the end. But don't worry too much, you'll fit right in with the other lying libs on this board. BTW this is not a politics subject, should have been in current events.

 

[AvgGuyIA]

No, a Navy SEAL is a incredibly well trained commando. Their job is to infiltrate by land, sea or air, engage and destroy the enemy. That's it. If a SEAL enters into a building full of bad guys to extract a comrade, and he knows he has little chance of surviving it, that is heroic. Merely shooting people is not.

So shooting a person carring enough explosives strapped to their bodies that can blow up your entire unit from a distance safe enough to save everybody isn't heroic enough for you? I knew you were a liberal. Had to be. For you to believe that is insane! It's batshit. Instead of saving bambi you literally just picked her up and threw her on the autobahn highway and not just killed her you killed every person on the road in a 100 car pile up. Do you understand?

No, it's not "heroic." It is damned skillful, but it is not heroic. A man much wiser than I said "you can judge a society by the quality of its heroes".

Saving lives with 1 shot fired is heroic. saving lives period is heroic no matter how they are saved. Oh my god I'm going to fucking lose it guys.... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Are you fucking with me??????????????????? i want the truth. Where the fuck is the damn logic in your argument? It's like listen to sarah palin the other night and saying, "what?"

According to you. Not according to those who are heroic.

I just took enough medication to make me high for the next 24 hours and enough sleeping pills to knock out an elephant. I ahve no clue when i will wake up and there's no point in setting my alarm because I wont hear the damn thing. I will finally be at peace today. See before I get to crazy and out of control I knock myself out cold. Plus, I ahve an ear infection and sinus infection and on some strong shit. I'll be sleeping with a smile.

Calm down, JR.

It was set to see how closely you were reading. You avoided the trap, which is unusual for you. It's good to be careful, and I see you are working on your English.

 

[mudwhistle]

The left can't afford any positive influence in this country anymore.

Since when is a sniper a positive influence?

A sniper killed JFK. Was he a positive influence?

Oswald wasn't a sniper. Don't put him in a class of heros.

Oswald was a shooter.

And movies that are meant to be a positive influence, meaning teach us a lesson on how to be good people are desirable. Instead Hollywood wants to focus on decadence in movies like "Wolves of Wallstreet". It's no small wonder that a movie that raises your spirits rather than trashes them always out-performs the latter.

 

[Stephanie]

Maybe they should try fact checking the movie, Selma or all of Mikey Moores crockumentarys he produced.

So sad, too bad, so had. Again.

You are concrete thinker, Sunni Man, that will never change.

Y'know, I'm against Bush's wars, but the hysteria against this movie is getting a little much.

.

More like hysteria FOR the movie. Fox and right wingers gave this movie millions in free advertisement portraying it as some sort of political statement. Without all that cheerleading, there would be nothing more than discussion expected from any other movie. The right caused all the scrutiny, so why are you whining when it happens?

 

[Sunni Man]

Sure thing Fake Jake.......
