    He uttered an opinion. What he said doesn't make it the truth.

    I'm thrilled that Moore has the balls to say what others are too afraid to. It's interesting to me how people (and I'm not singling anyone here out) who once thought he was great now jump on the "bash Moore bandwagon". Oh so fickle a people!

    It takes ZERO balls to tweet anything. In fact the irony here is he is acting like a social media sniper, taking his shot from afar, hitting a dead guy.

    how did what he said and how he said it take balls?

    I love ya Brian, and I say this with all due respect, There are so many more credible and honorable anti-war folks to hitch your wagons to...this ain't the guy. Coming from someone who used to respect the hell out of him until I realized he manufactured stories, Michael Moore is the king of half truths for manipulation...He is no better than fox news.

    Based on what I've read I think this movie probably isn't as accurate as it could have been.

    Kyle was a pretty rough individual and his book is full of blatant lies so I have a hard time putting him on a pedestal. That being said....I don't understand why Moore would say such a thing. Really stupid comments.

    We train these military guys to be killers, to hate the enemy, etc. We shouldn't be surprised when they are assholes.

    It's HIS truth. And he doesn't give a rat's ass what anyone else thinks of it. And that angers people. That's the point.

    I say, forget the fucking media coverage. Who gives a shit. Get inspired, learn, be educated, forge what you know to be true into your own way of thinking and actions. It so much easier to applaud what someone else does OR call them a fuck-tard. I love my heroes but when push comes to shove, fuck that. Doing something useful is so much more useful that crying "bully for our team" and take a lot more energy and thought than saying "fuck that guy". Fuck that shit.

    Is there an applause emoticon?

    as others have said, what Moore did did absolutely NOT take balls. people expect him to say shit like this, and he did it from behind his computer with zero ramifications. now, if he had said it face to face with an army vet sniper, or a family member of a sniper KIA, then yeah, that would be balls. but he doesn't do that.

    Moore...balls? Yes, balls (guts. nerve whatever you want to call it). I can say anything I want here and no one with any pull in the world will give one tiny shit. None. Nada. Why should they? I'm just some old fuck on a rock and roll web site going blah blah blah. But when someone like Moore says something people don't want to hear you better believe someone cares. Yeah, balls. Saying "Fuck Michale Moore"- that takes no balls. That is weak.

    Balls ...how funny. What would take balls is for these fucking celebrities to stop latching onto either one of your two main political parties and call them both out, now that I would like to see ... barring a miracle that this might happen does it really matter what these over paid celebrities think.

    When Limbaugh spouts his venemous nonsense it could be argued that too is "his truth". Should he be applauded for that?

    He's on the other end of the spectrum ... I believe on the MT that makes his opinions null and void.

    We do love/hate our media heroes/villains don't we? I'll say it again:

    I remember on some thread about god, a poster spoke of her "truths" and was mocked for daring to speak her mind. Here, in this little place, I for one, did / do give a shit about that and many other comments by said poster as well as by other posters on a plethora of topics.

    I'm willing to hear all views, whether by those who are "celebrated" or not. I'm also free to discount or disagree with those stances, and declare "no balls for you!"

    (who's to say we aren't doing something useful while speaking OUR minds? Not mutually-exclusive and actions need not be flaunted to have an impact)

    Moore essentially said "fuck snipers", by the way.

    Balls to the wall!

    This thread is some pretty good comedy. It got to 10 pages long a day faster then the Paris terrorist attacks!

    Michael Moore is officially more divisive then jihadist terrorists!

    It HIS truth, fine, it still doesn't make it right. What he said does not take balls. It's an opinion. I can spout off on twitter about anything against the status quo and it doesn't make me brave.
