As I posted above, 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 and implies wrongdoing.
Yep. Same way. Sometimes nails it...majority of the time, kook.
Newt’s big problem in 2012 was there are two Newts, the Good Newt and the Bad Newt. Good Newt is utterly fantastic, while Bad Newt is as horrible as Good Newt is great. Throw into that pot the fact that nobody, Newt least of all, knows which one will come out at any day or hour, and you have a man who’s profoundly unreliable and untrustworthy.
Jessie is also a Troofer.
Cannot disagree with any of your points. Well stated.
“It was not unfair, if the guy had not died he would be forced to apologize for it.”
If he had not died, he would have been able to defend himself in court. The outcome may have been different.
So, if a guy defrauds someone and then dies, his family gets to keep the money?
Another example of the corrupted courts. Jessie Ventura's name was not even mentioned in the book. Good example why we have lost our freedom with decisions like this.
Yeah Jesse, suing a dead military hero is really a fine way to win friends and influence people.
Jesse Ventura is a poster boy for a return to the practice of Shunning.
So did OJ.
Jesse Ventura has a larger than life personality and the jury may have been enamored of him. If Kyle had been there, the jury may have been enamored of him.
They probably would have voted for the man they thought was the bigger celebrity.
exactly. His name wasn’t in the book! How many other SEAL or SEAL imposters can come forward and sue for the same thing?
“Leave him alone, I say- he proved his case”
In Texas he would have been laughed out of court.
Ventura claimed his income was damaged after the revelation, who does he think would want to have anything to do with him after this?
I’m sure a sniper has friends who are snipers.
Don’t think I would want to be in Jesse’s shoes!
Exactly.
Go Sarah go! Fight communism, sodomy, atheism and islam! Take America back!
That!!!
Although Ventura should probably have considered mercy for the widow and children of the man who died, he’s not obligated to do that.
The man who, as the law determined, committed the act of slander should have had that consideration when he choose to slander Ventura.
If a man were to slander you to the extent that he cost you your reputation and the ability to generate an income be immune from being held to account just because he died? Your reputation is still damaged and your ability to generate an income is also still permanently damaged. That hasn’t changed because your slanderer is gone.
