Former Gov. Jesse Ventura appeared to link “American Sniper” Chris Kyle to Nazi soldiers in a Fox News Radio interview that aired Tuesday night. Ventura told radio host Alan Colmes, “Our people are behaving just like the people in Germany in the ’30s.”
Radio host and former governor Jesse Ventura compared the United States to Nazi Germany and the Communists in a recent conversation with liberal Alan Colmes.
Via The Blaze:
VENTURA: A hero should have honor. 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?
COLMES: Well, obviously the Nazis were fighting for a cause we can’t condone.
VENTURA: Wait Wait Wait. When they invaded a country, when they invaded Poland, when they invaded France, and if a Nazi soldier killed a hundred people that had lived there, would he be classified a hero in Germany?
COLMES: But are you comparing what the Nazi mission was versus what our mission is in war as a country?
VENTURA: Well what I’m stating is we invaded Iraq, we were not asked in. We invaded a country, we overthrew its government, and then we killed people that lived there.
COLMES: Are we analogous to the Nazis?
VENTURA: Well, and the Communists, yeah.
VENTURA: Our people right now are behaving just like the people did in Germany in the ’30s. We’re behaving the same way.
COLMES: In what way?
VENTURA: We’re ostracizing certain races and certain religions. We’re doing all the things in the ’30s. We’re allowing the police state to take control of our country. We’re allowing our cops to walk around looking like stormtroopers. C’mon, am I blind?

Only a matter of time before Jesse gets a full-time gig on MSNBC where they have the same opinion.
Thanks for that explanation.
.
Can ventura be sued in a class action lawsuit for defaming all of us? : )
Jesse Ventura: If you hit me I won’t hit you back I’ll wait t.il you die and then sue your widow and call you a Nazi
“Nice of Colmes to give his fellow traveler air time”
Yes notice Colmes is the only one that will waste his time on this POS loser who never was a real SEAL.
I’m still scratching my head. How could chris kyle widow lose that lawsuit against Ventura? She must’ve had a TERRIBLE lawyer.
It would be sweet justice if Kyle’s wife coldcocked Ventura, and I bet she could do it.

Vindicating Chris Kyle
Islamic State proves the late sniper was right about the ‘savage’ enemy.
Feb. 4, 2015 7:25 p.m. ET
‘Savage, despicable evil. That’s what we were fighting in Iraq.” Those were among the words the late Chris Kyle, of “American Sniper” fame, used to describe the enemy he and fellow veterans of the Iraq war faced. After seeing images this week of Islamic State jihadists murdering a caged Jordanian pilot by burning him alive, can there be any real doubt that Kyle was right?
We say this as a corner of liberal America has fallen over itself denouncing Clint Eastwood ’s blockbuster biopic of Kyle, who was killed in 2013 by a deranged Marine veteran. HBO’s Bill Maher called him a “psychopath patriot,” and other Hollywood action heroes like Michael Moore have weighed in similarly. Their view is that Kyle must have been inhumane since he killed scores of enemy fighters without being burdened by a guilty conscience.
Yet the kind of butchery that Islamic State likes to advertise via YouTube was the reality Iraqis routinely faced when the Islamic State’s forbear, al Qaeda in Iraq, terrorized entire cities and towns during the height of the Iraq war. “An Egyptian hostage was taken out of the trunk of one of the cars, dressed only in his undergarments, his entire body black and blue from beatings,” wrote Jean-Charles Brisard and Damien Martinez about the methods of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the late leader of al Qaeda in Iraq who was killed by the U.S. in 2006.
The account of this killing—one of thousands carried out by AQI—continues this way: “The kidnappers then tied the Egyptian’s hands behind his back and asked him to state his name. . . . After complying, he was about to apologize for his acts, but a man gave a sign to the ‘executioner’ standing behind the hostage, who grabbed the man’s tongue and cut it off, stating that the time for excuses was past.” The man was then beheaded.
It was on such executioners that Chris Kyle trained his sights. Messrs. Maher and Moore may want to hold up the Iraq war as evidence of American perfidy, but as the atrocities of Islamic State are again reminding us, the moral balance in that war was exactly the opposite. No wonder millions of Americans admire Kyle and are flocking to see the movie that treats him like a patriot in full.
