Eastwood turns American Sniper into republican platform movie

[Va Lefty]

"Spouting off to an empty chair at the 2012 Republican National Convention, Clint Eastwood looked as if he were slipping into doddering dementia, but he’s shrewder and more focused than ever in his Iraq War picture American Sniper"

"As in many jingoist war movies, the native population are portrayed as invaders of our sacred space instead of vice versa."

1. Death and republicans

2. Jesse Ventura was not defamed in this film

I passed on the book, but I might catch it down the road if it makes it to, say, Netflix® or something.

3. I read a lot of the stuff Chris Kyle said has been debunked as made up

to sell his book.

I'm still going to see the movie because Eastwood for all his faults in his political views does direct good movies.
