Michael Moore: snipers are cowards
My uncle killed by sniper in WW2. We were taught snipers were cowards. Will shoot u in the back. Snipers aren't heroes. And invaders r worse
— Michael Moore (@MMFlint) January 18, 2015
Yep, that fellow who overeats, the fellow who told us that there is “no terrorist threat”, the fellow who wants to take away our Constitutional rights, the fellow who admires the Castro brothers more than he admires any American, took a few seconds out of his life to tell us that snipers are cowards, you know the weekend that a movie about an American Sniper is leading in Hollywood sales.
Everyone who believes that Michael Moore had an uncle killed in World War II by a sniper, raise your hand. Yeah, me neither. I’m pretty certain that yellow streak of his runs way back into his antecedents. Funny how he’s never mentioned this unfortunate uncle before. But, you know, it could be true, so that makes it valid.
I’m pretty sure he just figured that folks have been ignoring his stupid documentaries and needed to remind his followers (both of them) that he’s still around.
It’s apparent to me that all of the leftists are upset at the success of the movie, some morons have written bad reviews of the movie even though they had only seen the trailer;
I have not seen American Sniper. But if the trailer is any indication, Eastwood’s film, like Zero Dark Thirty, tries to make a straightforward situation more complex than it is.
I guess the combination of Chris Kyle and Clint Eastwood is just too much for them to bear. I haven’t seen the movie yet, so I’m not going to write anything about it, like these two peckerwoods should have done.
ADDED: Was this the uncle that was killed by a sniper;
Following in his father Herb Moore’s footsteps — who served in the U.S. Marine Corps and fought in World War I — Frank Moore joined the Marine Corps in 1942 and became part of the 1st Marine Corps Division, fighting in the South Pacific in World War II.
“Frank was proud of his country, but he also fiercely believed in peace. “Anyone” he would say, “who has seen war first-hand would not want to ever start one,” states his obituary.
He died from his wounds last year, I guess.

Just a fat POS trying to find ways to stay relevant
Read the book, and I’ll add the movie to my DVD collection when it becomes available. The local theater is a shithole and situated right in the ‘hood’s Free Fire Zone/Open Air Drug Market.
And fuck Michael Moore and the schlock-u-drama he rode in on.
youtubeonfire/movietube it beats going to the theatre
Thanks SG, I have Amazon Prime, but my location limits my data usage. I’ll wait for Blu-Ray, and watch from the comfort of my own living room.
Michael… you, my rotund friend, are the coward.
You have absolutely no concept of honor, dedication, patriotism, selflessness, mental and physical toughness, and protecting comrades and innocents. All the traits required to be an effective military sniper.
Your brain is miswired, bro. You hate the country that has made you a wealthy man, and hate the military that gives you the freedom to act and speak like an idiot without any repercussions.
You are an obese, gutless punk of the highest order. I despise you, and hope karma is a total bitch for you.
what Big Steve said!
What Cact35 said about what Big Steve said!
^^Like^^ to what Big Steve said.
We’re seriously discussing this fat nobody’s opinion on force multipliers in combat?
I wonder if he lays awake at night, thinking up verbal molotov cocktails to throw at innocent people?
This is the same fat fucktard who thinks that uncommon valor is being carried away from the all you can eat buffet by a forklift after 8 hours.
I would say that I would go piss on his grave after he dies, but after I get my medical retirement from the Army on Thursday, I am NEVER standing in line again.
Moore is the village idiot of Hollywood. He does not work much, his friends feel sorry for him and give him stuff and on the weekend he tweets retarded comments that confirms his position as “village idiot of Hollywood.”
Who the *BLEEP!* is Michael Moore? OH, RIGHT, yeah, he’s that fat, slovenly glob of liberal snail & slug snot that preaches liberalism like the communist party elite in say, Cuba, Venezuela, or North Korea and doesn’t practice a shit’s bit of what he preaches. Snot-nosed candyassed tinsel-farting glitter mice-headed, unicorn-and-Smurf lusting Sparkle Ponies like him aren’t even the least bit interested in any film that doesn’t embrace the touchie-feelie-do-gooder-everyone-is-equal Hollywierd political agenda that features gay couples, unicorns farting rainbows and shitting skittles while they’re poking Smurfette up the ass and the rest of the PC crap Hollywierd limousine and Learjet liberals espouse. I have as much respect for him as I do “Hanoi Jane” Fonda, and i place him in the same category along with Rosie O’Donut (Remember when she labeled us Vets as “terrorists”?).
Thank you, Proud Infidel. I thought the art of the creative insult was dead, but you are obviously a true master! Spot on! Your analysis of this oxygen bandit is perfect.
Sure-I believe his “uncle” was killed by a “sniper” in World War II inasmuch as someone who may have been in some way related to Moore was at some point shot and killed. A 357th uncle, 642 times removed is still an “uncle” I suppose.
So, I guess any of us could make the same claim, but wouldn’t because we aren’t completely shameless liars and frauds.
The bigger question is why did the American sniper get the order to kill Michael’s uncle in WWII?
Was his uncle trying to smuggle allied battle plans to the nazis or japanese? Perhaps he was supplying information on a regular basis, and command made the call to drop the traitor before he could cause any more damage.
Knowing the bloodline this may be a more accurate account.
I was thinking what Soviet Battalion was his Uncle assigned to?
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
Love it, wish I had thought of it, MK75gunner!
Are you shitting me, this fat bastard is going there?
I’m sorry your dad was killed by a sniper, but it’s hardly fair for you to turn that around and attack someone you never knew.
If you knew him, and legitimately thought he was a jerk, then you could say “hey, I didn’t like Chris Kyle”.
But you didn’t.
You don’t know Kyle, what he went through, and how he reacted to his job being dedicated to killing. How that might change a man. How he might see himself.
So shut your mouth and keep your idiotic opinions to yourself, Moore. Snipers may not be heroes, but they’re a shitload braver than you.
What do you expect from a scrotum licking,anti American like him…
That fatassed, sniveling, slovenly bucket of toad, snail, & slug snot never had the balls to even think of joining the US Military, yet he does all he can to denigrate Vets, I place him in the same category as I do “Hanoi Jane” Fonda.
He’s just jealous that American Sniper will sell more tickets in 5 minutes that all of his movies combined.
If Mikey boy says it, you can be pretty much assured that the exact opposite is true.
He’s still alive? I’d trade a billion of him for one Chris Kyle.
Once again, a lefty pontificates and demonstrates his total ignorance of all things military, including military history. Snipers, also known as sharpshooters, have served in America’s forces with distinction in every conflict involving this nation from colonial times to the present.
In our Civil War both sides used snipers to deadly effect. Snipers were used in naval warfare as well, deployed in the upper rigging of sailing vessels until the increasing range of naval gunnery prevented ships from engaging at close quarters.
Likewise other nations have a long history of using their best marksmen for long range acquisition of key targets or purely for psychological effect. Some of the Soviet Union’s most highly regarded heroes of WWII were snipers, men and women, who were in such wide demand they were organized into battalion-size units. The Japanese also revered the snipers they deployed so widely in the Pacific war.
In my war, deeply infiltrated snipers were busy destroying enemy commanders way out there in the jungle and the mountains which made my job easier when I had to venture out into Indian Country.
So Michael, as someone who has been there and knows first hand that snipers tend to be very brave, very cool-headed warriors, not cowards as you so cluelessly characterize them, I suggest that you need to confine yourself to making dumb movies instead of dumb pronouncements.
So, lardass has a hard on against snipers. Is it because they dispatch the enemy from a distance? It’s not as if these guys are phoning it in. They go deep into enemy territory with minimal support, and do what needs to be done. If I have two shits what this fat ball of cholesterol thinks, Ivwould ask him what he things of artillery men, naval gunfire crews, and combat pilots, but I don’t care what this hypocritical fat piece of excrement thinks. When he starts paying his film crew Union wage, and no longer lives in a 100% Caucasian neighborhood, I might care, but not likely.
“100% Caucasian neighborhood”, SHIT, if he just ventured outside of his guarded and gated neighborhood for any length of time sans his cabal of armed bodyguards!
Well it looks like someone hasn’t had any publicity in a while. Go away again. Dick
If, (biggest word in the dictionary), if this asshole’s uncle was shot in the back by a sniper, was he running away from the front? Back then, WW-II, we had front lines, unlike Vietnam and the GWOT, so he must have been drafted, and was in theater against his will, and then cut and run and got shot in the back. My father knew a guy who was shot in the face by a sniper; a much more believable event.
The Michigan Manatee loses again.
My readings relate how some German snipers would lag behind concealed, allow Allied forces to advance past them, and then open fire at their exposed flank or rear causing fear and confusion in the ranks. Pretty much a suicide mission, but certainly not “cowardly.”
Too bad it was his uncle and not his daddy – then there would be no Michael Whore…
Just saying.
You, sir, are apparently unfamiliar with the confusing title “Uncle/Daddy” used where one’s actual lineage is a bit vague.
I think MM was referring to his Uncle/Daddy.
nbcguy54…Sorry I didn’t read all the posts before my comment. About the same thought as yours.
On a general note, I read an article recently that discussed the way people have viewed snipers throughout history:
http://www.bostonglobe.com/ideas/2015/01/16/why-fear-and-admire-military-sniper/UKotOxOc2hTKoH9rZ5Kh9I/story.html
Interesting how the perception of snipers have evolved from one of mistrust and animosity towards their rightful place as protectors.
On a side note, I personally thought that the movie took liberties with the book and the truth, in ways that actually made the movie appear quite against the Iraq War.
I think one’s perception of the sniper’s personality depends on whose side he is on.
[…] ..because lefties come out of the woodwork and their reviewers tried to pan it- […]
I guess Fatty Mike just isn’t getting quite enuf attention for his useless self these days. When was the last time he did anything useful? He doesn’t take out the trash, y’know, because he’d have to take himself out and leave the bag in the dumpster.
If there was just one more person in this world that had to die from heart disease, please let it be this fat fuck.
I’d rather he choked to death on dick.
I wish I still had my 6 year old brain so I could live in this guys fantasy land.
Moore is correct however he’s also projecting the parts he left out of his semi accurate statement. Non uniformed snipers are cowardly. The kind like Moore too cowardly to put the uniform on making them a valid target while they snipe at dead people unable to defend themselves and their families behind a computer screen.
What a piece of shit. His cowardice is certainly projecting like it always does.
Guess who didn’t get an Oscar nomination?
Does anyone one really care what Michael Moore thinks in this day and age? His last three “Documentaries” have been flops. He gets little or no mention in the press anymore. He is a non-entity. He is trying for attention. Like when he ran for NRA president. Bowling for Columbine and Fahrenheit 9/11 were so riddled with inaccuracies and lies that most people look at them today and laugh. He is a joke, don’t give him what he wants.
Also, in 50 years people will still be showing Clint Eastwood movies and talking about his contributions. Michael Moore will be a footnote no one remembers.
Everyone has already said everything I wanted to about this fat piece of shit. Google “Milton Friedman schools a young Michael Moore”. Share. Enjoy. You will have a warm and fuzzy from this video.
Michael who?
Never heard of her, what does she do?
Oh go to McDonald’s and order the dollar menu in its entirety like you usually do you pretentious,bloviating,worthless fat piece of shit. You don’t matter much.
Too bad…the WWII sniper didn’t get his dad.
Sadaam Hussein and Michael Moore’s Father have one thing in common, both of them should have pulled out early!!
A Proud Infidel®™…Or…mom should have swallowed.
From the obit, Moore’s dad seemed like a pretty decent guy. RIP Marine.
ADDED: Was this the uncle that was killed by a sniper;
He died from his wounds last year, I guess.
A good counter to the bloviations of fat ass-http://m.nationalreview.com/article/396505/smearing-snipers-what-many-americans-dont-get-about-our-warrior-elite-chris-mark
The ship that I deployed to the Persian Gulf with, early 2003, was part of the invasion fleet for OIF. I’d rather be part of that than to be a fat sack of stupid. 🙄
You know what’s cowardly? Moore’s hiding behind the statement that he was taught that sniping is cowardly. You see, it’s not his fault. He was taught it. Somehow he has managed to reject much of what he was doubtless taught about the goodness of our nation and the greatness of capitalism, but he rests upon what he claims he was taught about sniping: it is cowardly. Bullshit. Sniping is one of the many killing methods that is employed in war. It requires incredible discipline, balls of steel, stealth, and an ability to target, at great risk to oneself, certain of the enemy in order to accomplish the mission assigned. Unlike many other distant killing methods, it is devoid of unintended damage. Unlike the use of other killing methods, such as booby traps, landmines, buried IEDs, and bombardments, to name a few, sniping is personal, not indiscriminate and never haphazard. So, bottom line, the fat slob has again put his ignorance on display for the world but only his fellow travelers will buy into it.
Michael Moore deludes himself that anyone who matters gives a sh!t about his opinion. In reality, the only ones who care about what he says are (1) the feeble-minded and (2) anti-American leftists.
The late Ray Bradbury got it right. In a 2004 interview with the Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter, Bradbury was quoted thusly:
Bing translator renders that as follows:
The quote (in Swedish) can be found here. Unfortunately, the link to the original source article on Dagens Nyheter (provided in the linked article) now appears to require an account and login with the paper.
Screw Michael Moore.
This is the same guy who derides capitalism and how horrible the U.S. is to live in – yet had a net worth of about $50M in 2013. A massive heart attack and quick demise is too good for him.
As a follow up, looks like his father was just the opposite based on his obituary. Too bad the apple fell far from the tree.
Truism: When the enemy is in range, so are you. The true coward is the one that hides behind Twitter and shoots off his mouth.
So I guess MM thinks some Canadians are cowards also:
http://news.yahoo.com/canada-special-forces-clash-iraq-195504092.html
“The Canadians came under mortar and machine gun fire while training Iraqi troops near front lines and shot back in what Canadian special forces commander Brigadier General Michael Rouleau described as self-defense, killing the IS fighters.
Rouleau said the melee had taken place in the previous seven days and was “the first time we’ve taken fire and returned fire” in Iraq, where the extremists have overrun large areas.
“My troops had completed a planning session with senior Iraqi leaders several kilometers behind the front lines,” Rouleau told a regular media briefing on the conflict.
“When they moved forward to confirm the planning at the front lines in order to visualize what they had discussed over a map, they came under immediate and effective mortar and machine gun fire.”
The general said the Canadians used sniper fire to “neutralize both threats” and there were no Canadian injuries.”
Nice shooting, eh?
Say what you want about the Canadian military size-wise, but damned if their snipers aren’t some badasses, considering that as of now, IIRC, they still hold the mark for longest kill.
To quote the old AT&T commercial, “Reach out, reach out and touch someone…”
I tried to fact check this. I’ve seen where his uncle has been referred to as Lornie or Lawrence. There were several listings under that name on the World War archives. I found none from his town in Michigan and none that have been reported by either a Herb or Molly which would have been his parents names. Until I see Lawrence Moore KIA, I think it’s safe to assume “The Slob” has lied yet again. Some fact checker please find out his his uncle died.
Also, I found it funny that he clarified his statements. His clarification was basically, Bradley Cooper did an amazing job playing the role of a coward.
A little nugget I dropped on Twitter:
Memo to @MMFlint … you want to show bravery? Take a trip to McP’s in Coronado and tell them you think Chief Kyle was a coward.
Michael Moore is merely a skid mark on the underwear of American culture.
Naw, he can only fantasize about being that significant.
LIBERALISM IS A MENTAL DISORDER, liberals perpetually prove it via their words and deeds!
The Reaper speaks!
http://www.breitbart.com/video/2015/01/19/us-army-ranger-sniper-the-reaper-hits-back-at-michael-moore/
There is a growing noise of public backlash against Moore’s remarks about Kyle and the movie.
I guess the ‘love’ just ain’t what it used to be… or never was.
The fat swine probably ate his uncle because one day he was particularly hungry and needed a big luch score…
Lawrence Moore must not have been from Michigan. National archives only show three Moores KIA from Michigan.

If snipers are cowards, as Fat Boy claims, that begs the following questions:
Was Simo Häyhä AKA “The White Death” a coward when he single-handedly stopped an entire division of the invading Soviet Red Army in a forest in southeast Finland during the Winter War in 1940? Or when he refused to give his ground to the Russians even when they carpet-bombed that same forest trying to kill him? Or when a Soviet counter sniper team hit him with a 14.5mm anti-tank round that took half of his face off, and he just got back up and killed them all?
Was Vassili Zaitzev a coward when he hunted Germans in the ruins of Stalingrad in 1942? Germans who used everything from their own snipers to massed artillery in their attempts to kill him?
Was Gunnery Sergeant Carlos Norman Hathcock III a coward when he inserted alone into NVA territory, snake-crawled across two miles of heavily-patrolled open ground, eliminated a high-value target, and crawled out the same way? Was he a coward when he continued to wear his distinctive white feather in his boonie cover, knowing full well that the commies were offering a huge cash reward for the death of “Long Tr’ang?” Was he a coward when he went hunting for enemy snipers, one of whom he killed less than a second before the other guy was going to kill him? Was he a coward for going after a VC leader who made a name for herself by kidnapping, torturing, and mutilating US and ARVN personnel? Was he a coward when the Amtrac he was riding on ran over a mine, caught fire, and instead of jumping to safety, Gunnery Sergeant Hathcock stayed on the vehicle and threw five other men off of it while suffering crippling and nearly-fatal burns in the process?
Fuck Mikey Moore.
I haven’t located Lawrence Moore on any casualty lists for these units that participated in the Philippines Campaign
503d Parachute Regimental Combat Team
462d Parachute Field Artillery Battalion
161st Parachute Engineer Battalion C Company
I did find one
MOORE, LAWRENCE J. S SG DNB
DNB is Died Non Battle which means not directly related to enemy action.
maybe it was work place violence
The only paratrooper I found listed as KIA in the philippine campaign was one
James R Moore
Pfc. “H” Company, 503d PRCT
K.I.A. , Battery Pt., Corregidor
February 1945
