The criticism in the New Republic is written by a guy named&#8230; What\u2019s his name?  Dennis Jett.  He admits he\u2019s not even seen it.  He hasn\u2019t even seen it.  The criticism of American Sniper is that Clint Eastwood has written and directed a movie that\u2019s celebrating a murderer &#8212; a racist, bigoted murderer &#8212; Chris Kyle who murders innocent Iraqi brown people. <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"585\" height=\"315\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/99k3u9ay1gs\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>We in America, by going to see this movie, are celebrating barbarism. We are celebrating murder. We are celebrating a sociopath. How dare Eastwood do this and how dare we fall for it! That chorus is being joined by more and more people, particularly in Hollywood and on the left.  After all, folks, it\u2019s about a redneck from Texas who is better using a gun than anybody ever has been.  What is there for Hollywood to like about that? <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s everything Hollywood hates: Rednecks, Texas, guns.  Add to it war, Iraq?  &#8220;Wrong, immoral, because of Bush.  What\u2019s the guy doing?  Killing innocent Iraqis, a murderer!  No wonder America is hated in the world.  This movie demonstrates why.&#8221;  That\u2019s what they\u2019re doing to American Sniper, and they\u2019re just getting started. <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Here\u2019s Scott in Visalia, California.  I\u2019m glad you called.  Welcome to the program, sir.  Hello.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Hey, Rush, dittos from a 1990 listener.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Thank you, sir.<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_101078\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/Sniper.jpg\"\/><BR\/>CALLER:  I want to comment on American Sniper.  I took my son to see the movie last night \u2019cause his grandfather, my dad, was the top Marine Corps sniper during the Korean War. He started off a private and he ended up a captain, which is Mustang. He ended up on the Marine Corps Shooting Team.  But as to the part about being a coward, my father\u2019s first mission was to hunt down an enemy sniper in the field that was waiting on him.  That takes a special type of individual to do that.  He hunted \u2019em down, he made the man make a mistake, and then he eliminated him in the field. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Snipers&#8230; This is absurd.  I feel very bad for you, sir, that you have to say this, and I understand &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  Don\u2019t, Rush.  Don\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  No, you feel the need to call here and defend snipers, and that\u2019s outrageous.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER:  It may be, but it\u2019s the character of Michael Moore. It\u2019s the character of those other people. Death&#8230; You know, my father and Chris Kyle had an amazingly similar path, after seeing the movie.  He was not bothered by the triple-digit missions he was sent on, meaning he was over 200 missions.  It was the men that died at his side.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Exactly.  Snipers are defensive positions.  Snipers take out the freaking enemy, for crying out loud, to enable success of operations!  They take out other snipers on the other side.  It\u2019s war.  To call this murder, and to accuse Eastwood and everybody in this movie of celebrating a cold-blooded murderer is simply outrageous.  I\u2019m sorry you have to defend it, sir.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: The primary criticism of American Sniper ran in the New Republic, and it\u2019s what\u2019s feeding all the other criticism.
