Former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura ratcheted up his rhetoric against Chris Kyle, the subject of the widely cheered “American Sniper” movie, suggesting that the now-deceased U.S. Navy SEAL was hardly the hero that he’s painted — that if you think about it, even the Nazis had heroes.
“A hero should have honor,” Mr. Ventura said during an interview on Fox News Radio with Alan Colmes. “A hero is not how many people you’ve killed. You know he’s obviously a great sniper. He’s obviously a great shot. He obviously did his job correctly. Alan, let me fire this one at you: Do you think the Nazis have heroes?”
Mr. Colmes said the Nazis fought for a cause “we can’t condone,” the transcript of the interview stated.
And Mr. Ventura’s reply: “Wait. Wait. Wait...

Jesse called me a Nazi!?
he’s forgotten that macho does not make him into a man!
On that note, why is this jerk still using his fake stage name?
I might take him more seriously if he would use his real name of Jim Janos. It's a fine name; there's nothing wrong with it at all.
Doesn’t this help Mrs. Kyle’s appeal? This is exactly the kind of phrase Chris Kyle asserted that Ventura made, and which Jesse won a $1.4 million judgment against last year.
Jesse Ventura is a saggy-assed ape who made a living two of the most discredited occupations in America - stage wrestler and governor of Minnesota. He just won a defamation lawsuit, yet he defames Bush by saying the Iraq War was based on “lies.” What a hypocritical jerk. I can’t stand listening to the guy talk - he sounds like his mouth is full of putty.
Fellow community college attendee (graduate?) Tom Hanks, maybe?
Can’t make Jesse look any more self consistent in the public eye.
Whatever flaws Kyle may have had, Jesse’s illogical reaction has managed to make him look like a shining saint. You are giving Kyle more “air” than he was able to garner on his own, Mr. Ventura.
Ventura told Kyle and the SEALs that they deserved to take losses and the killing of their friends and team mates was justified because they were essentially war criminals.
Kyle punched Ventura out when he defamed the SEALs and took the enemy's side on the death of his friends.
Ventura denied what he said and sued Kyle for slander.
From Ventura’s comments, it sure seems in character and very likely that he actually said exactly what Kyle claimed he said.
A good point. I would hope so but don’t know if the appeals court can consider anything taking place after the first trial.
The term “turd in a punch bowl” comes to mind when I think of Prissy Bentura. In fact, that is too good for that simpleton
The Nazis may have had their heroes, Jesse, but America does too. And you’re not one of them.
This man has fallen so far since he peaked as a Navy SEAL. A wacko governor, 9/11 truther, a conspiracy buff, a fake wrestler and now this embarrassing behavior over Chris Kyle. He should be shamed and ignored instead of being given a forum to reveal his mental inabilities. He’s moved out of the US already. just let him continue to fade into the sunset without giving him the attention he doesn’t deserve.
Correct.
I agree.
IMHO, It was wrong for Kyle to have punched out Ventura for mere verbal abuse. (He could have rightly ejected Ventura from their presence, if this was a private party, carrying him out by the scruff of the neck like a puppy.) That said, there are even worse things and Jesse is now showing them like the flowers of skunk weed.
In his warped mind, he probably thinks he is entitled to every last cent that American Sniper makes.
“There must be a term in the world of psychiatry for his obession with the patriot Chris Kyle.”
There is: A$$HOLE
Hey Jesse.. if the goose stepping jack boot fits.....have you check your feet Jesse you ISIS lover
I guess Dr. Freud could speak of an anal fixation here.
