First off, I'll preface this by saying I can't stand michael moore. I can't stand to look at him or to hear his voice. I would never and have never seen any of his work. Same goes for spike lee and bill maher.

But this Green Beret sniper nails moore for me:

Mr. Moore-
Good afternoon there sweetheart, I hope this finds you alive and well. You can thank our men and women of the armed forces for that, by the way, and that also includes us cowardly snipers. It seems you’ve found time between licking the jelly off your fingers and releasing your grasp of a bear claw to tweet some junk about snipers being cowards.

My buddies and I got a good laugh over the tweet, so I thank you. For a guy worth $50 million dollars, you sure have quite a bit to bitch and cry about. I guess like a moth to flame, you too gravitate towards things that are popular and in the moment — in this case it’s snipers. Too bad for you that your attempt at being relevant via your 70+ year old family experience has failed. It has only made you look dumber than a bag of hammers. Next time you should try something more original than going after snipers for one reason or another…that was so last month.

It’s typical of “men” like you to criticize the intestinal fortitude, focus, discipline and patriotism of a sniper. It must stem from an inferiority complex or something. But hey, it’s okay cupcake. We snipers are thick skinned and the efforts of world class turds such as yourself to portray us in a negative light only makes us laugh. If you and I were in the same room, I’d throw you a smile and gently pat you on the head knowing you’re nothing more than a mouth breathing, Crisco sweating waste of space not even worthy of being in the presence of a sniper. It’s almost funny how people like you preach things like ‘acceptance’ and ‘not passing judgement’ or ‘labeling people’, but then are the first to do so when a person is in some way dissimilar from you.

So tenderfoot, I leave you with this final thought: what if you found yourself in some sort of hostage situation where you were held at knife-point by some crazed person and they were dead set on making an example of you by bleeding you out on Hollywood Blvd in front of the world, and the only way out was with the precision aimed fire of a sniper? Would you want that coward to take the shot? Because knowing how you feel about snipers such as myself and your hatred of firearms, I’d probably drop the mag, roll the bolt and go get a Jack & Coke before helping you out.

Very Respectfully,
Sikes

Michael moore is a son of a bitch for sure, but this guy seems pretty butt hurt and seems like a total douche nozzle anyway... Why does anyone give two fucks?

For me, it's because in this day and age of being "PC", this guy choose not to be. Being PC will be the downfall of mankind. That or non-alcoholic beer.

I think the message had nothing to do with butt hurt, nor was it childish. He made very good points all through the letter.

Oh and fuck Moore!

A grown man that feels the needs to tear down someone over their weight and pepper his impotent rant with personal insults that have nothing at all to do with his point just screams insecurity to me. There's nothing thick skinned in that entire letter. Just undue arrogance and the behavior of a 13 year old.

There's a proper way to respond to something you feel is unjustified, this is a perfect example of how not to do that.

And for the record, I think Moore is a sensationalist and a terrible director.

This is what did it for me as well, if it was an actual rebuke to the tweet and he stayed civil and didn't get condescending or insulting. He would come off a LOT less like an asshole and a douche. The way it was written though just screams "I'm a massive prick"

Yeah, you wouldn't write this rant if you were't pretty butthurt. That being said, Moore is a total dingus.

Bit of a butt hurt reply. I would rather have invited him to taste basic training for a day. If he attends, he wouldn't last five minutes. If he doesn't, he looks like an even bigger asshole.

Michael Moore is the epitome of the modern socialist man. Paternalistic and elitist, ripe with a holier than thou attitude.

A dull witted man criticizes the superficial.
That being said there are better things to criticize Michael Moore over aside from his obesity.

If I was in the military and some douche bag Hollywood elitist spoke ill of a fellow military buddy that has more testicular fortitude in his left nut than Jaba The Hutt does I would be flinging the shit back too! Fuck Micheal Moore! Screw Ed Schultz and all the other filthy Liberals that want to denigrate someone's service to this country. Who gives a flying FUCK how this Green Bert addressed Jabba The Hutt's BS Twitter post. All patriotic Americans should call this commie director's rhetoric out! If not then you are part of the problem.

These blistering criticisms of someone's opinion make me concerned for free speech in this country.

Michael Moore is anti-war, and speaks out against what he sees as its glorification. He has the right to say and believe that.

Silly humans are always getting caught up in who's right and who's wrong. Morality is very individual.

Wait, your hero is a guy who can only throw fat jokes at Michael Moore? Not once did he attack his position, just that Moore is a fat, nasty cow.

Technically there was a thin argument at the end.
