You're missing the best part of the apology.

Earlier on Saturday, on the morning show "Fox & Friends," co-host Anna Kooiman referred to the previous week's program, when "we showed a map of neighborhoods in France labeled as no-go zones."

"Some of the neighborhoods were highlighted incorrectly," she said. "We apologize for the error."

Pirro, on her 9 p.m. show, also said "we deeply regret these errors."
Then she encouraged viewers to vote in her show's weekly Internet poll: "Will our free speech suffer so that we can say nothing negative about Islam?"

And I must say tonight that a riot is the language of the unheard.

The most fundamental basis for popular conservatism is spite against people they know are in fact better than them. People don't like to think of themselves as dumb, boorish bigots, so in response they cut down people who aren't. This is how 95% of talk radio works

I love how eager the right is to make self proclaimed military heroes to be infallible. Except when they speak against the GOP.

btw Chris Kyle was a piece of poo poo in a ton of aspects, embellished the poo poo out of his service record, called Iraqis/Arabs sub-human scum and enjoyed killing them, took every chance possible to make himself rich off of his time as a SEAL, and knew literally nothing about PTSD and tried to masquerade as a expert in it.

That this movie gets so much press is loving atrocious when Ender's Game was sandbagged by OSC being a homophobic monster. Not to defend Card, but Chris Kyle is a complete piece of poo poo.

Oh, and every right wing poo poo uses the tagline "Kyle, the most lethal sniper in military history," which is complete bullshit.

Because he agrees with fuckers like the Tea Party, and he is a SEAL and a Sniper, which is like a masturbatory fantasy as far as veterans go for the Tea Party, and he was racist as poo poo.

He was a soldier who killed a lot of people in Iraq. A large portion of the American populace accepts this fact completely uncritically and hails Kyle as a Good Guy who slaughtered a poo poo ton of Bad Guys.

Kyle was the kind of hyper macho dude who goes into bars and tells everyone in earshot what a billy badass he is. His estate keeps losing defamation lawsuits to Jesse Ventura because in his memoirs, Kyle claimed he punched out Ventura who was hating on the military and government in some dive bar. Making up stories about beating up peple who disagree with you is a hallmark of a emotionally stable and mature individual.

Kyle was involved in outreach for PTSD soldiers by taking them shooting. Since he was not a therapist, psychologist, or had any mental health training beyond the sheer oorah in his soul, this plan obviously backfired - because the most logical therapy for a mentally traumatized soldier is to take them to a place with a lot of gunfire and give them a weapon. When he died he was hailed as a right wing hero because, superficially, he didn't appear to be a giant piece of poo poo to chickenhawk flagwavers.

Kurtofan posted:

Clint Eastwood makes pretty good movies but the source material is weak. The movie portrays Kyle far more sympathetically than he portrayed himself - in the film he's a conflicted hero, in his own words he gleefully engaged in what he felt was justified murder. He's one of those dudes who joins the army straight up because he wants to kill people.

Some choice quotes and info about Chris Kyle

“I couldn’t give a flying gently caress about the Iraqis.” “I hate the drat savages,”

Chris Kyle boasted of looting the apartments of Iraqi families in Fallujah

Kyle describes killing as “fun” and something he “loved” to do

And here is what happens when people call him out

It’s equally unlikely that either of them would have volunteered anything to make a sacrifice on behalf of veterans.

This is the part that is really indefensible. It's one thing to boast about killing people you claim are enemies in a war zone, it's another thing to brag about killing Americans in a disaster zone to make yourself look good to fringe lunatics.
