I won’t go back into the Fidel quotes but when Che was alive, Fidel had as little use for him as the rest of us did.

I remember the pride I felt as the newspapers reported that our Green Berets were rumored to be involved in his capture.

I have a picture of Jesse in my bathroom. Keeps me regular.

Hopefully, more of Chris Kyle’s peers will take exception to Boa Boy and give him one (or two or three) for Chris.

I do not connect Jesse Ventura with anything heroic, patriotic, or something where Old Glory would be displayed.

With his entire television-videotaped-and-broadcast career for all to see, there will be a sin against this nation committed, when Mssr. Ventura may well be interred at an American veterans’ cemetery.

Jesse the Wussy lives in Mexico, supports communist tyrants that raped and murdered women and children, and lies about his military service.

He is a cheap unpatriotic coward.

This is going to be appealed.....should have been a hung jury....judge oversteped his authority.

This thread is complete.

I'm kinda floored.

Here's the Full Quote:

Don't Start the Revolution Without Me!
Jesse Ventura, 2008

Che is a very interesting individual to read about. I respect him because, as much as I oppose communism, Che believed in it with the same fervor that I have for capitalism. I respect the fact that he would die for his convictions. How did a man as bright as Che develop the hatred for the United States and all that we stood for? I've eliminated jealousy as a reason. He was a medical doctor, a healer. It clearly had to be that he saw the results of what we did to other countries, in the name of freedom and capitalism. Which, in many ways, was not pretty if you were on the wrong end of it.

So, a mirror of Che Guevara has a profound place in my house. I'm not the least ashamed to say that. When I go to wash my hands, I look at Che.

Apparently Fidel revealed his whereabouts to the Bolivians.

Castro gets rid of a rival, and gains a martyr for his cause.

[dfwgator]

So would have say the same thing about Hitler?

Hitler certainly was a true believer, and no one could question his willingness to die for his convictions.

Good article. Thanks for posting.

How did the judge do that? I didn’t hear.

[Shimmer1]

So he was a mad killer, with some fervor. You respect him for that? How weird.

[VitacoreVision]

Yeah, I wonder if Jesse Ventura realizes that more people died under Communism than say Nazism. Stalin, just in Ukraine alone, murdered around 11 million people through starvation. See: Holodomor

Che Guevara obviously had no problem with murdering people for "the cause."

[Shimmer1]

Oh (duh) What a day I’m having!!!!! This isn’t you that’s saying this, but Jesse Ventura.

I think I’ll look up his real name and call him that from now on. He doesn’t deserve to have a fake name.
