2. K&R!

They shouldn't have had to ask.

I haven't seen anything from them in response to this request.

Shame on them.

3. The title of the OP infers that Eastwood and Cooper are inciting the hate, when it is actually

right wing elements on the social media, and even though the body of the OP makes it clear, I have no doubt no matter what Eastwood or Cooper said, it would not change the hate expressed by those currently involved.

Probably the biggest cause of the hateful rhetoric are the news outlets, especially "fox news", which has been propagating this for years.

5. I think the title implies "who started it"?

4. do not expect a response from clint--its like talking to an empty chair

[Fred Sanders]

6. Then bring the man an empty chair!

9. Or Cooper for that matter.

I know he whined about islamophobia on Bill Maher's show but a check with that many zeros in it probably means a change of tune.

An actor to want to work with Clint Eastwood

12. I have a vision of them just laughing at an empty chair. The hero worship of this sniper is

sickening.
