Jesse Ventura: ‘American Sniper’ as real as ‘Dirty Harry,’ blasts Chris Kyle as dishonorable, liar

Former pro wrestler and Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura has joined director Michael Moore and actor Seth Rogen in denigrating “American Sniper” and its subject, the late Navy SEAL Chris Kyle.

Mr. Ventura said during an interview Wednesday that Clint Eastwood’s “American Sniper” — which he has not seen — is as authentic as his 1970s “Dirty Harry” cop films. He then said the famous sniper was a man without honor.

“A hero must be honorable, must have honor. And you can’t have honor if you’re a liar. There is no honor in lying,” Mr. Ventura told The Associated Press, referring to his defamation lawsuit against the late SEAL’s estate over a subchapter in his autobiography titled “Punching Out Scruff Face.”

Won't this scumbag just fade away already...

[driftdiver]

Sounds like slander.

Thank you for your shervish.

Kyle’s widow ought to sue Ventura.

[Vaquero]

SissyMary “The Body” Ventura gonna get even with the widow and the film homage because Kyle beat him up.

Amazing the hate this book and movie are getting. Just think: If Al-Qaeda, the Taliban and ISIS got as much hate by the left as Chris Kyle gets, the war on terror would probably be over by now.

I think he’s mentally ill, all those steroids have screwed with his brain which is why he was making all those paranoid conspiracy theory shows.

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

I’m surprised it took him this long to speak out. With His diarrhetic intellect it was bound to happen.

[Abathar]

I knew he would weigh in eventually, now it’s time to sit back and watch Sarah rip him a new one.

I bet she’s been just waiting for him to open his pie hole.

what would one call an asshole that claims to be a Navy Seal and has to admit he is not. How many awards did Ventura win .....sounds like a lot of envy to me.

[Neidermeyer]

Sounds like slander.
*******************
Sounds from this excerpt like he’s being VERY careful not to actually say that he is referring to Chris but speaking in general terms... still he should be sued into submission.

[driftdiver]

He’s also commenting on Clint Eastwood and the production companies. I doubt anything will happen but it would be nice.

[Neidermeyer]

Jesse should know “Don’t mess with Clint” .. he’s an old fart with plenty of money who’s on top of his game...

[DoodleDawg]

...blasts Chris Kyle as dishonorable, liar

Pot? Meet kettle.

[CrazyIvan]

Because pro wrasslers are so grounded in reality.

[RichInOC]

Jesse Ventura: Proof that in pro wrestling, the bouts may be scripted, but the brain damage is quite real.

[Bobalu]

Jesse Ventura is an obnoxious fool.

[shalom aleichem]

Jesse knows all too well that one cannot legally slander the dead.

Jesse is a coward. Sue me Jesse!

Some people acknowledge those of superior ability, other people go to great lengths to deny it, while still others hire lawyers to turn reality on its head. Apparently the really bitter ones combine all three and turn them into a continuous loop.

Knowing that Chris Kyle not only walked through the fire and back but was good at what he did is apparently making Jesse crazy (okay, crazier).
