Filmmaker Michael Moore Goes Into Hiding After Making Negative Comments About âAmerican Sniperâ
Controversial leftist filmmaker Michael Moore has reportedly gone into hiding, after he made derogatory comments about the new filmÂ American Sniper,Â and about military snipers in general.Moore tweeted from his verified account, âMy uncle killed by sniper in WW2. We were taught snipers were cowards. Will shoot u in the back. Snipers arenât heroes. And invaders r worse.â Although he didnât mention specifically that he was taking about Chris Kyle, the deadliest sniper in US military history on which the film is based, it was clear to everyone who read it who, and what, Moore was talking about.According to sources, Chris Kyleâs father, Wayne, was extremely upset that Moore would make such hateful comments about the movie, his son, or the military. Wayne Kyle already made news himself, when he reportedly told director Clint Eastwood and star Bradley Cooper that there would be âhell to payâ if they disrespected his sonâs memory.âWayne Kyle, like most Americans, wanted to see Kyleâs story represented in a positive light,â said a family friend. âThey did an amazing job with the film, but then here comes this loud-mouthed, liberal SOB, talking shit about our boys, about our military, and about snipers? Cowards? The man is a liar, and a coward himself. He uses his one-sided, propaganda films to make people âthink?â Well, I tell you what I think. I think heâs a piece of shit, and he should be worried about running his mouth about the military. That could, and does, upset a lot of folks in this great country.âAccording to reports, Moore tried to retract what he said, stating that he thoughtÂ American SniperÂ was a good movie, and that he didnât mean to disrespect anyone, but unfortunately for him, the damage had already been done.âMr. Moore has taken to the underground, until the storm blows over, so to speak,â said Mooreâs agent, Joe âFatsâ McGee. âThis isnât the first time that his mouth has gotten him into trouble in the media. We anticipate that he can make it 10, maybe 12 hours, before heâll need to âcome up for air,â and probably a cheeseburger.âNo word on whether comedian Seth Rogen, who also tweeted negative comments aboutÂ American Sniper,Â will be joining Moore in hiding.
