Jesse Ventura: Chris Kyle Is No Hero, He's a Liar

American Sniper is tops at the box office, but don't expect to see former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura lining up at a theater for it.

Ventura, a former Navy SEAL, won $1.8 million in a defamation lawsuit last year against the estate of the late Chris Kyle, the SEAL protagonist of the movie, which has sparked debate over whether snipers should be considered heroes. Ventura said Wednesday he won't see the film partly because Kyle is no hero to him.

I wish Jesse Ventura would dry up and blow away.

[al baby]

Ventura, a former Navy SEAL,

I thought that was BS ?

[BigEdLB]

Jesse Ventura is a Jackass

[circlecity]

Ha. A guy who lies about being a former navy SEAL accuses a real SEAL of being a liar. About what you’d expect from someone who would sue a war widow.

[boomop1]

Ventura jumped the shark a long time ago.

(IMHO) Jesse Ventura: Is living proof, that
"human excrement" can walk and talk trash.

[ansel12]

I guess that being outrageous has made Jesse Ventura, and now, as he has finished up his long career, that this publicity is seen by him as better than no publicity at all.

[headstamp 2]

Did he twitch his head while saying it?

[SIRTRIS]

Kinda wish Michael Moore would do a movie on Jesse Ventura.

[Steely Tom]

I think Jesse Ventura has a couple of screws loose.

[MaxMax]

Going from irrelevant to attention whore wasn't a big step for this closet homosexual.

Wikipedia says he was on a Underwater Demolitions Team, ie. not a seal, during the Vietnam was but did not go to Vietnam, did not see combat.

[hinckley buzzard]

Jesse Ventura the fake who never was a SEAL calls a bona fide hero a liar...Hmm.

[Slyfox]

[a fool in paradise]

And Jesse is a 9/11 trufer.

[seanmerc]

Nice to hear from you, skink. As usual, you are right on target!

[thorvaldr]

Jesse Ventura is a disgrace to the state of Minesota, professional wrestling, the Navy, little boys who wear sailor suits, and harbor seals but not the Navy SEALS because he wasn’t one.

[skinkinthegrass]

Thanks...You DID provide the target, I just..
took a "pot-shot/shot-from-the hip"

[Turbo Pig]

I find it very hard to take someone that espouses the views Ventura has on various conspiracy theories, etc very seriously. He’s an comedic diversion in a very dangerous world.
