Fox Business Network correspondent Charlie Gasparino said during Monday’s edition of “Outnumbered” that “the looney left is more insane” than the tea party.

The “Outnumbered” crew was discussing critical remarks made by filmmaker Michael Moore and former Vermont governor Howard Dean (D) about the war biopic “American Sniper.”

Moore has attacked the movie’s depiction of snipers, recently tweeting: “What Would Jesus Do? Oh, I know what he’d do—hide on top of a roof and shoot people in the back!”

Gasparino called the comment “disgusting.”

“You know what you’re going to see, I think, over the next couple of months as Hillary Clinton gets ready to run?” Gasparino said. “The looney left is more insane — much more insane — than anything on the right, the tea party people.”

Gasparino also said the film exposed “the unholy alliance between liberals like Bill Maher, liberals like Howard Dean, and the Hollywood elite, because they hate this movie.”

  1. I didn’t like the movie because it was simplistic and stupid, not because I’m “looney left.”

  2. The Looney Left may be more insane than the Tea Party, but there are no members of the Looney Left in positions of national party leadership, serving in the House or Senate, or sitting on the Supreme Court.

    That’s the difference. Both sides have nutcases, but the right puts them in power and the left doesn’t.

  3. Your envy of people who possess more than a brain stem is understandable. We expect that from children.

  4. you want to know what is “loony”? Wishing for America to fail because your guy didn’t win the election. Peddling a psychotic, obsessive hatred of the president simply because you wanted the other guy to win the election. Finding a way to connect every single bad thing that happens in the country and in the world to the president, and blowing off every good thing that happens in the country and in the world as having nothing whatsoever to do with the president. Being pissed off that Obama was the president that got Osama bin Laden, rather than rejoicing that the mastermind of 9/11 has finally met his end.

    I guess speaking to an empty chair and producing a war movie have something in common.
