Jesse Ventura on Chris Kyle’s hero label: ‘Nazis have heroes,’ too

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...

Exactly.

Someone should post the pictures of the graveside service for Chris Kyle. There looks to be about 100 Seals on their knees around his casket AND 100 Seal Tridents hammered in the lid.

Jesse, the Seal wannabe, will NEVER be given the same type of treatment.

“Hey Jesse. Go back to being a 911 Truther. You are, and will remain, beneath contempt.”

I actually like it when Jesse picks on a hero like Chris Kyle. It keeps him too busy to pick on widows and children like he usually does.

Don’t need Freud. Just ask Bosacker about Jesse the faigeleh.

Jesse just ain’t too bright.

Kinda repulsive, too.

His jealousy over never amounting to anything in the military probably contributed.

[HiTech RedNeck]

you mean he plays for the wrong team too?-

Bump

[onedoug]

Ventura’s a nazi then?

Anyone who’d bring that up in such a context rings my alarm, for sure.

You overlook Jesse going toe to toe with Viet Cong in the Philippines...

Ventura was never a Navy SEAL.

See post # 50.

to play footsie? (duck’n & runn’n)

I’ve heard various stories how Ventura had belonged to a Navy force that got merged into the Seals.

The problem wasn’t that Ventura was asserting some sort of logical association. The problem was that he was acting like an ass, like he had to brag how he was supposedly better. Or if having done so and having his head handed to him, he did not know when to quit.

[TBP]

Yes, Jesse, and you’re undoubtedly one of them.

[vetvetdoug]

I wonder if Jesse is going to be invited to any more SEAL and UDT reunions? I think his peers are going to validate how they feel about Ventura’s actions.

[Fightin Whitey]

You guys probably know better than I.

This guy says Ventura was a SEAL but certainly no hero and definitely a loser and a jerk.

I think his SEAL and UDT reunions are over, at least if he knows what’s good for his health.

[defconw]

Makes me wonder if Jesse has a brain tumor or something. Very irrational.
