There's this segment of the population, usually extremely conservative, that would think anyone shooting 'looters' from the roof of the Superdome would be a hero. Tea Party types, really. The ones who get stiffies about the idea of a government shutdown. So I suppose it's aimed at him.DSMatticus wrote: But what I don't actually get is... why Chris Kyle? Shooting dozens of "looters" from the rooftops of New Orleans would not put you amongst society's defenders, it would put you amongst society's mass murderers. Lying about shooting "looters" from the rooftops of New Orleans does not make you a brave vigilante, it makes you a lying braggart who is desperate to have everyone around you acknowledge how totally badass you are. You can't beat your dick to Chris Kyle's heroism, because in Chris Kyle's fantasies he is a villain. You can't beat your dick to Chris Kyle's "manliness", because attention-whoring with a bunch of lies about how your life is an action film is straight-up pathetic. I seriously don't fucking get it. Is Robert Lee Yates one of those brave sheepdog? Is Manuel Pardo? Daniel Pantaleo? George Zimmerman? What, exactly, makes your manpanties drop? Is it the uniforms? Is it vigilantism? Is it murdering the underprivileged? Or is it - and I think it is - a shallow infatuation with the bravado?
And now anyone who talks about the Kyle's lying lies, will be disbelieved because they want to believe that he's a Troo Conservative Hero, and that Obama's an atheist muslim communist antichrist, and that All Government Is Bad and all.
