Michael Moore’s Comment ‘Snypers Are Cowards’ Draws Much Ire

Green Beret Sniper, Bryan Sikes, hilariously slams ‘cupcake’ Michael Moore for calling American Sniper, Chris Kyle, a coward.

Mr. Moore-

Good afternoon there sweetheart, I hope this finds you alive and well. You can thank our men and women of the armed forces for that, by the way, and that also includes us cowardly snipers. It seems you’ve found time between licking the jelly off your fingers and releasing your grasp of a bear claw to tweet some junk about snipers being cowards.

My buddies and I got a good laugh over the tweet, so I thank you. For a guy worth $50 million dollars, you sure have quite a bit to bitch and cry about. I guess like a moth to flame, you too gravitate towards things that are popular and in the moment — in this case it’s snipers. Too bad for you that your attempt at being relevant via your 70+ year old family experience has failed. It has only made you look dumber than a bag of hammers. Next time you should try something more original than going after snipers for one reason or another…that was so last month.

It’s typical of “men” like you to criticize the intestinal fortitude, focus, discipline and patriotism of a sniper. It must stem from an inferiority complex or something. But hey, it’s okay cupcake. We snipers are thick skinned and the efforts of world class turds such as yourself to portray us in a negative light only makes us laugh. If you and I were in the same room, I’d throw you a smile and gently pat you on the head knowing you’re nothing more than a mouth breathing, Crisco sweating waste of space not even worthy of being in the presence of a sniper. It’s almost funny how people like you preach things like ‘acceptance’ and ‘not passing judgement’ or ‘labeling people’, but then are the first to do so when a person is in some way dissimilar from you.

So tenderfoot, I leave you with this final thought: what if you found yourself in some sort of hostage situation where you were held at knife-point by some crazed person and they were dead set on making an example of you by bleeding you out on Hollywood Blvd in front of the world, and the only way out was with the precision aimed fire of a sniper? Would you want that coward to take the shot? Because knowing how you feel about snipers such as myself and your hatred of firearms, I’d probably drop the mag, roll the bolt and go get a Jack & Coke before helping you out.

Very Respectfully,
Sikes

Missing from most stories about Michael Moore’s supposed ‘apology‘ for saying, on the opening weekend of the movie American Sniper, that snipers were “cowards,” was his other, equally stunning, statement via Facebook:

Most of us were taught the story of Jesse James and that the scoundrel wasn’t James (who was a criminal who killed people) but rather the sniper who shot him in the back. I think most Americans don’t think snipers are heroes.

Hopefully not on this weekend when we remember that man in Memphis, Tennessee, who was killed by a sniper’s bullet.

That’s right. Ahead of the three day weekend celebrating the life of Martin Luther King, Junior, Moore doubled down on his contempt for American military snipers -including the late Chris Kyle, subject of the current box office smash American Sniper – and equated them with the assassin who shot MLK.
Liz Harrison, columnist at Radix News, has an opinion and did a fact check on Moore’s Jesse James story:

That comparison is worse than the one that started the whole outrage in the first place. Moore doesn’t understand that it’s not a matter of sniping per se; it’s a question of who is on each end of the gun. And oh by the way, Bob Ford did not snipe Jesse James, he shot him in the back of the head with a pistol.

Perhaps Moore should be reminded of the first rule of holes; when you’re in one, first stop digging.

Michael Moore’s comparison of snipers who are defending Americans and innocent civilians against terrorists and the soldiers of genocidal regimes with cowardly scum like James Early Ray, the assassin who shot Martin Luther King, Jr., is a reprehensible cheapshot indicative of the mentality of Michael Moore and his supporters.

Maybe instead of a smug non-denial denial Michael Moore should issue a sincere apology. But then again, how “sincere” would an apology coming from Moore actually be anyway?
