Sarah Palin Slams 'Jackass' Jesse Ventura for 'Shaking Down' Chris Kyle Widow
Breitbart's Big Government ^ | August 2, 2014 | Tony Lee

Posted on 08/02/2014 6:35:51 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

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)

I hate to admit it but I guess you are right.

I’m really fond of Newt though.

I have a soft spot for such characters.... Nikola Tesla was also such a man.

BTW, I don’t care if he had a Billion dollar estate.

Jesse sued a dead man and won.

The wife and children of this dead man had absolutely no involvement with this idiot, Jesse “The Body” Ventura.

Did Gov. Palin use the words “destitute, poor” or “poverty-stricken” in her description?

She implied it. When you say "military widow and her fatherless children" the implication is that they are not well off. The average person hearing that and not knowing the background of the story would certainly think so. It's entirely possible to state facts in such a way as to distort the truth. For example I could say Sarah Palin "resigned as governor under a cloud of accusations of official misconduct". Factual, but it distorts the truth.

I am unable to understand how Ventura was even allowed to sue given New York Times Co. v. Sullivan

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Times_Co._v._Sullivan

Obviously there is something here I am not quite grasping.

If Boa Boi thought his reputation was damaged before his chicken**** lawsuit, it’s worse now. He’s a crybaby.

I was wondering why Kyle would bad mouth someone like that if it wasn’t true, and then I read this........

http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2014/07/30/the-complicated-but-unveriable-legacy-of-chris-kyle-the-deadliest-sniper-in-american-history/

Hmmm, not to speak bad of the dead but is that some BS I’m smelling?

“He went down to New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina and picked off dozens of bad guys”

Oh really? Wow that’s interesting. “Dozens”.. So in other words he says he shot and killed more than 24 people, 30 he said later on, down in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina and of course nobody in the press picked up on this even though cops were arrested and sentenced to jail for shooting and killing just 2. Nobody was wondering why “dozens” of people were laying around with bullet holes in them.

Ventura isn’t stupid, he knows damn well it makes him look like a slimebag suing a vets widow, but to me it seems more likely he was doing this because he was really pissed off. What would really piss him off? If someone made up a BS story about him badmouthing vets!

Funny how so many lib reporters are tuning into the Palin Channel for their stories after laughing at it all last week.

They were involved if they got the money. And as you point out, Jesse won the case. I don’t see why Palin had to spout off about it in the first place.
