I guess Americans aren't listening to Howard Dean and Michael Moore anymore TM

Imagine. This guy Dean was once considered the front runner for the Democrat nomination for President. Chilling. What a disgusting collection of douche bags the Dems are.

And how fitting he should make such loathsome comments about one of America's outstanding warriors on the Bill Maher show.

"On Friday night’s Real Time with Bill Maher, the caustic host and his panel discussed last week’s big box office news—the runaway success of Clint Eastwood’s American Sniper, which as of January 23 has made approximately $154 million. While the film’s financial success is certainly making headlines, Maher was interested in the polarity of the social media discussion around the film and its real-life hero, the late Chris Kyle.

Maher—a man who is not known for his sense of nuance—was frustrated by the absence of subtlety in the conversation around Sniper, particularly when compared with The Hurt Locker, which he said “covers a lot of the same territory” but was met with far less success.

“Hurt Locker only made $17 million…because it was a little ambiguous. And thoughtful,” said Maher. “And [American Sniper] is just, ‘American hero, he’s a psychopath patriot, and we love him.'”

I did a Wiki bio check on both Maher and Dean and neither of these two brave boys ever served in the military. Dean was even quoted as saying, "I was really in no hurry to join the military." And yet these 2 stay-at-home warriors feel they have the right to criticize a true American hero.

My ass.

Gary Sinise replies to stay-at-home warrior Dean.

"To Howard Dean,

I saw American Sniper and would not consider myself to be an angry person. You certainly have a right to make stupid blanket statements, suggesting that all people who see this film are angry, but how is that helpful sir? Do you also suggest that everyone at Warner Brothers is angry because they released the film? That Clint Eastwood, Jason Hall, Bradley Cooper, Sienna Miller and the rest of the cast and crew are angry because they made the film? Chris Kyle’s story deserved to be told. It tells a story of the stress that multiple deployments have on one military family, a family representative of thousands of military families. It helps to communicate the toll that the war on terror has taken on our defenders. Defenders and families who need our support. I will admit that perhaps somewhere among the masses of people who are going to see the film there may be a few that might have some anger or have been angry at some point in their lives, but, with all due respect, what the hell are you talking about?"
