Fox’s Todd Starnes to Michael Moore: Jesus Would Love American Sniper

This weekend, Michael Moore continued his criticism of American snipers — if not necessarily American Sniper — by suggesting that Jesus would not approve of shooting “savages” in the back. The tweets drew the attention of Fox News’ Todd Starnes, who decided to respond in his “American Dispatch” online video series.

“Well, I’m not theologian,” Starnes began, “but I suspect Jesus would tell that God-fearing, red-blooded American sniper, ‘Well done, thou good and faithful servant for dispatching another Godless jihadist to the lake of fire.'”

Starnes lamented the loss of a time in which Hollywood and Democrats “stood in solidarity” with the U.S. military, saying, “Those days are long gone and our sweet land of liberty has been soiled by the stinking stench of Michael Moore and Howard Dean and their liberal minions.”

Please, Todd, tell us how you really feel.
