Palin Blasts Hollywood’s “American Sniper” Critics
Published at
Chris Hondros/Getty Images(NEW YORK) — Sarah Palin is going at critics of the movie American Sniper with both barrels blazing.
With filmmaker Michael Moore and actor Seth Rogen having each made disparaging remarks about military snipers in general, Palin launched a particularly vicious diatribe on her Facebook page Monday night.
She wrote, “Hollywood leftists: while caressing shiny plastic trophies you exchange among one another while spitting on the graves of freedom fighters who allow you to do what you do, just realize the rest of America knows you’re not fit to shine Chris Kyle’s combat boots.”
Chris Kyle was played by Bradley Cooper in the movie American Sniper, which was directed by Clint Eastwood.
Calling Kyle, who has the most kills of any military sniper, a “true American hero,” Palin thanked Cooper and Eastwood “for respecting the United States Military.”
Both Moore and Rogen later clarified their criticisms, saying they weren’t directly attacking the movie.
