15. Why am I not surprised?

I find it so interesting that Ann Coulter can spew vitriol with abandon, and Donald Trump can send out Twitter messages calling for armed insurrection, BUT when Michael Moore posts a thought-provoking essay on America's appalling treatment of its soldiers, oh, MY!!!

The Faux Noise faux outrage is just ridiculous. Too bad reading a complete sentence is too much of intellectual stretch for a Faux Noise follower. Read the whole sentence, people:

"I don't support the troops, America, and neither do you."

Michael Moore is using a literary device to get us to read his message and do some thinking. I realize that reading complete sentences and engaging in "thought" is sadly beyond the average Faux follower.
