The University of Michigan was refusing to show the movie Sniper on campus because they said it was be offensive to Muslims. Well, new Michigan coach Harbaugh had a different opinion on that issue. How awesome is it to see this on a university campus full of moonbat liberals.....Michigan football just got some new fans.



Great gnashing of teeth by defeated radicals on this one…

Quote:ANN ARBOR (AP) – A planned screening of the Iraq war drama “American Sniper” at the University of Michigan is back on after it had been canceled after complaints by students about portrayals of Arabs and the Middle East in the film.

The school tweeted out a statement saying the “decision to cancel not consistent w/high value @Umich places on freedom of expression.” That tweet was linked to the following statement by E. Royster Harper, the school’s vice president for student life:

It was a mistake to cancel the showing of the movie “American Sniper” on campus as part of a social event for students.

The initial decision to cancel the movie was not consistent with the high value the University of Michigan places on freedom of expression and our respect for the right of students to make their own choices in such matters.

Sending out a tweet is now all that's required to be a Great American nowadays? The bar has been lowered.

If it's good enough for our President to TWEET, then I guess it's good enough for the rest of us.

Standing up the liberal idiots on college campuses will qualify. A person with his influence and power took a stand. Awesome to see. Personally, I don't believe you have a clue in the world what a great American is. Well, really I do, but we all know what that is.

Does the movie offend you?

I didn't say he was wrong for tweeting, just that calling someone a hero for tweeting something is ludicrous.

I never saw it, I don't tend to watch movies until they hit Netflix or another streaming source.

I just find it sad that in this day in age, what movie you watch is a political statement. Along with what TV channel you watch, and which fast food restaurant you eat at.

It isn't, the media wants it to be.

Am I the only one who thinks that a campus movie shouldn't be nationwide news? That maybe there are bigger fish to fry than tackling this?

Hopefully Harbaugh will have football players ushering the screening of the movie so when some moonbat libs try and disrupt the movie, they can be shown the door.

No, but it's all that's needed to show some folks how foolish they are acting.

Seems like a good time to post this...

Which side of the fence? If you ever wondered which side of the fence you sit on, this is a great test!

If a Conservative doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one. If a Liberal doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed.

If a Conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat. If a Liberal is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone.

If a Conservative is offended by a movie, he doesn't go watch it. If a Liberal is offended by a movie, he wants it banned.

If a Conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation. If a Liberal is down-and-out he wonders who is going to take care of him.

If a Conservative doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels. A Liberal demands that those they don't like be shut down.

If a Conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation. This does not apply to all the red states which are shown to be just as dependent on welfare (if not more) than their blue state counterparts.

If a Conservative doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels. With exception to the countless Republicans who try to discredit other news channels/news sources for having a liberal bias. Not to mention how happy they were to see Williams get kicked off the air.

You see ERC, I can do it as well. Only difference is that I am so much better at it. You have to refer to exaggerations to make a point, whereas I don't. No mainstream liberal talking point is calling for meat and guns to be totally banned. However banning gay marriage & abortion is a very popular talking point among conservatives.

How sad is it that our country has become so unrecognizable, that ANY expression of patriotism is celebrated like this? It's become that rare.

A liberal see no reason not to kill a seven pound baby. Killing babies is a political cause for liberals. It is murder to conservatives.

Like this?

#Bring back our girls

As someone who read the book and saw the movie, I don't see how it was offensive to Muslims.. It was no more offensive to Muslims than the movie "The Kingdom".. It basically showed Kyle fighting the enemy.. Can he help that he chose to serve his country and the war he's fighting in, happens to be against Muslim factions?

Back that claim up?? Are you serious?? What's the matter, hard to swallow that the mass extermination of babies being a real political issue for Liberals hard for you to admit to? Sorry, but that is the truth.
