I personally think the movie is actually a good one.

Ventura has said that Kyle made up a story and lied, and Ventura wanted a retraction and an apology.

According to The Daily Caller: "Ventura was awarded 1.845 million in the case, which stemmed from Kyle's claim that he punched Ventura in a bar because Ventura said that Navy SEALs deserved to lose some wartime battles. Ventura said that Kyle or his publisher would not give a retraction, and would not restore his reputation. Ventura said his only alternative was to go to court and said the federal judge found substantial evidence that supported a verdict in favor of Ventura. Ventura also said that he sued Kyle before he died and that the lack of a retraction was hurting his reputation among military people, that he could not get a job, lost his TV show - and further the lack of said retraction was hurting him and his family.

Why would you need three round to shut up Ventura. One should be sufficient for that slime maggot.

Is there a fund to make up that judgement to Kyles widow and children?

“3” as in movie comes out and 1.) Michael Moore injects Jesus into the equation and basically wants to know if Jesus would personally be a sharpshooter, 2.) Howard Dean does his thing and now this (#3).

Dear Mr. Ventura,

1) You would know fiction, as a former movie star and "professional wrestler".
2) You won your case.
3) The man is dead. Show a little bit of class, grow up, and let it go.

I liked Jesse better for his cameo appearances with Ah-nold. First as Captain America, second as the commando who says “I ain’t got time to bleed”.

Kind an amusing accusation, considering the source.

What a deranged ego maniac.

I await the day he gets decked in another bar by another Seal, or some other total repudiation by his armed services ex mates.

Jesse Ventura & Michael Moore should get a room and just shut their useless pie holes.

Jesse Ventura is the latest public figure taking potshots at slain Navy SEAL Chris Kyle and "American Sniper."

All the usual slimeballs of the left. I'm sure ventura is proud to be in the company of moore and maher.

I wonder if Ventura realizes he's doing nothing more here than convincing everyone that he was the very douchnozzle Kyle claimed to punch in the nose for being in the bar that night.

He should just shut the hell up.
