Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin hammered Jesse Ventura for winning a $2 million defamation lawsuit this week against Chris Kyle's widow.
After Kyle's death, Ventura continued with the lawsuit that stemmed from a passage from Kyle's book in which Kyle claimed he knocked out an unnamed Navy SEAL for trashing the troops. During his book tour, Kyle said that was Ventura. But after Kyle was tragically killed in 2013, many felt that Ventura, who has done a lot to damage his own reputation over the years, should have dropped the lawsuit.
"Hey tough guy, Jesse Ventura, your feelings were hurt because you perceived your reputation was besmirched by words in a book?" Palin said on her SarahPalinChannel. "So you turn around and sue, expecting $2 million from a military widow and her fatherless children? Yeah, like that is going to help your reputation, jackass."
Chris Kyle was a true American patriot -- the soldier who stood up for his country and saved so many lives by doing the job his Commander-in-chief gave him, taking out the bad guys. For his extraordinary work, Chris was known as "The American Sniper."(continued)

Ventura is a jackass who has professed his admiration of Castro and Che. He is a public figure and this did not harm his already smarmy reputation. I say that the scumbag should dig deep for personal security.
Yep. He did.
Ventura is an idiot..he gives me a pain.
The fool is a 9/11 truther... how can anyone be that dense.
Taking money from that grieving family is despicable and that act will come to define Ventura as an evil jackass.
I don’t think he’s that stupid.
Easy. He wrote a book that turned out to contain a bit of BS. He signed his name on it, published it, and earned a nice payday selling it.
If he did it is a good bet she can afford more than adequate counsel now...
Even though she’s right,she should be name-calling. It’s undignified for a leader/adult.
Ventura lowered peoples opinion of him by doing this.imo
I can’t figure that out. Sometimes AJ hits the nail....other times a loon. Wish he had more discernment. He’d be more powerful if he did. Otherwise....it’s like listening to Coast To Coast AM.

should=shouldn’t
You mean like VP Cheney and the Clymer fellow???
I will never forget the image of her licking her hand and smoothing down her little brother's unruly hair :-)
He is a public figure anyone can call him a wanker, a coward or whatever.
“expecting $2 million from a military widow and her fatherless children”
That’s a literally true but deceptive characterization if they’re sitting on a 6 million dollar estate from the sale of the book as indicated in the post below.
Did Gov. Palin use the words “destitute, poor” or “poverty-stricken” in her description? And taking even one dollar from a widow and her children is very wrong without a good reason.
Alex Jones is one of those odd people who are 90% brilliant and 10% crackpot.
I had a friend, now deceased, who was the same way. I told him once he was the world’s smartest crackpot...he laughed :-)
Newt would fall into the same category...
Which part is incorrect? I’ll dissect it for you.
2 million
military widow
fatherless children
Your turn.
Good analogy!
She shouldn’t lower herself with name-calling.
