Video: Minnesota governor turned Truther superpatriot walks off radio show in huff
Hot Air ^ | December 01, 2009 | ALLAHPUNDIT

Posted on 12/02/2009 5:25:38 PM PST by RobinMasters

From this morning’s Opie & Anthony show, your viral video of the day. The little guy is comedian Jim Norton. The big guy is a bully who used to wrestle in a feather boa, likes to throw around the chickenhawk smear when discussing foreign policy, and, oh yes, is a full-blown mouthbreathing 9/11 conspiracy theorist who retreats into the “just asking questions” cop-out when challenged. In four-plus minutes here, I don’t think he engages a single point Norton makes, choosing instead to insult him, walk out, and then stare him down as if promising an imminent ass-kicking. Behold America’s highest profile Truther in all his glory. He and the movement deserve each other. Strong content warning.

I don't have to view this video to conclude that Jesse Ventura is a human calamity.

Jesse opens by mentioning the “Gulf of Tonkin” incident and by association, brings his famous lie about his Navy service into the issue. Jesse never served in Viet Nam and was not a Navy Seal. He served as a UDT in the Philippines.

Are you kidding about that? All I ever heard was His Seal talk and Nam. From Him of course, but that would be news if he was a liar about his own accomplishments

I don’t have a problem with a person equating UDT with seal.
He doesn’t seem too stable though

He was not a Seal and never set foot in VN. The Navy Seal association has challenged his “recollection” numerous times.

I heard this live on O&A this morning. JV kept on insisting all his info were “facts” and “well documented”. Ant and Jimmy gave him a good run, even though the claimed to agree with him on a number of things. On the upside, JV supported gun rights and the cap’n trade thing is money grabbing crap. Other than that, JV came across as his usual ignorant, paranoid self.

Happy Birthday Jimmy!

Jesse Ventura is insane. Wonder if the steroids ate his brain?

I know that he didn't serve in Vietnam during the war. However I heard that technically he was a SEAL because the UDT and SEAL programs were merged at some point while he was still serving in the Navy.

Be that as it may, he is still a poor example of a U.S. Military Veteran as is John Kerry.

For a real positive role model, my pick is John O'Neill. Not only did he serve honorably in the Navy during the Vietnam War, he donated a kidney to his wife to try and save her life only months before the Swift Boat Vet campaign to stop Kerry. Not many men would do that!

The big guy, Jesse, is a comedian too. He’s not trying to be but he is and apparently doesn’t know it.

UDT and Seals were merged after Jesse left the Navy.

"JV supported gun rights "

As a firearm owner and Hunter(Shotgun Season next week in Peoples Republic of NJ), I derive little comfort from the fact that JV is armed.

OK, I don't know perhaps as much as you on this.

We can both agree there are much better examples of Navy Veterans than JV.

"How did he ever get elected Governor? I just don’t get it?"

Three way race with him as an independent.

The real question is how did Al Franken get 49+ percent of the vote in 08 winning the U.S. Senate Seat?
