Jesse Ventura Sets Sights on Wife of Slain Navy SEAL Chris Kyle
NavySeals.com ^ | May 31st, 2013 | Michael Smith

In my opinion, the actions of Jesse Ventura are classless and dishonorable.  Chris Kyle is an American Hero and his wife Taya, an amazing woman.  The Kyle’s have both sacrificed for many amazing selfless causes.  Move on Ventura!

Ventura claims that damages from slain ex-SEAL Chris Kyle’s “American Sniper” continue.

Former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura is setting his legal sights on the widow of a former Navy SEAL he had sued for defamation.

Lawyers for Ventura have asked a federal court to continue his lawsuit against Chris Kyle — who was killed in February by a young veteran he was mentoring — by substituting Kyle’s wife, Taya, as the defendant. Ventura last year sued Kyle, a decorated former SEAL and author of “American Sniper,” claiming that the book’s description of a California bar fight defamed him.

On Wednesday, Taya Kyle’s attorney filed a response to the motion, writing that Ventura’s move “comes as a disappointment, but no surprise.”

“Continuing this action will serve no useful purpose,” wrote Kyle’s attorney, John Borger of Minneapolis, “and likely will promote public perception of Jesse Ventura as someone who has little or no regard for the feelings and welfare of surviving family members of deceased war heroes.”

Jesse Ventura Sets Sights on Wife of Slain Navy SEAL Chris Kyle

This cretin, ventura, can't get over Kyle knocking him on his ass at a seal's funeral a couple of years ago. ventura says it never happened, but there were too many eye witnesses for ventura to lie his way out. What a disgrace to America...AND ventura was NEVER a seal although he likes to brag he was. He was separated from the military BEFORE the Seals were formed. What a scumbag!!!

Yeah, I first thought this article meant he was hitting on the wife, then I realized she’d be a woman, and thus not interesting to Jessie

Ventura self destructs...

At one time I found the guy to be colorful and kind of a lark to watch.

It’s a shame when folks destroy themselves like this.

It takes a very little man inside to do something like this.

She has lost her husband and is trying to cope, and here comes Jessie to the rescue... whoops, to abuse her on top of everything else.

Shame on you Jessie. (looks down and shakes head)

Jesse Ventura, a craven lickspittle, is a big waste of time. I hold more respect for things that I flush down my toilet than I do that big mouthed scum.

Could he sue the estate, going after proceeds of the book, etc.?

The last time I checked a couple of years ago, the SEAL site calls him SEAL.

My guess is that he’ll never make it to settlement or court.

IIRC, Beck’s fundraiser for the Kyles was done in such a manner with plans that this vulture would come after her and her kids for $, so that should be safe.

I heard Ventura on Coast to Coast with George Noory some weeks back. He’s so stupid I’d be surprised if he can tie his own shoe laces. A certifiable moron.

I’ve got a feeling Jesse will be getting a visit from some REAL tough guys pretty soon. He may just want to knock it off and write this off as one that didn’t work out.

Many, many years ago, there was a "caption this photo" thread on FR. The photo was of Jesse while still governor and looking somewhat respectable with a jacket, tie and short hair cut, staring stone-faced into the camera. Apparently it was taken while Jesse was in the make up chair getting ready for a televised appearance and you could see the hand of the make up person powdering his chrome-dome to minimize the glare from the TV lights. I still remember my caption to this day:

"Minnesota criminal investigators dust for fingerprints following the theft of the governor's brain"

Governor Turnbuckle spends most of his time these days wondering which of Newton’s three laws keeps his ears apart.

People give voters in my state a lot of crap for electing idiots to statewide office. Some of it’s deserved.

All of it’s deserved for any idiot that voted for James Janos to govern our state.

A politician using the law to rewrite history.

Imagine that.

As a Minnesotan, let me confirm your opinion. Jesse is a selfish, self-promoting, self-absorbed nit-wit. Basically, he’s stupid and fortunate enough to have translated his early military career into wrestling fame and then into politics with the help of an even dumber media. It doesn’t even phase me that this fool would sue Kyle’s widow for cold cash. In his salad days on radio before he launched into his lottery win governorship, he used to brag about the freebies he scammed from promoters and show sponsors. I clearly remember the dolt bragging that he kept a sport jacket loaned to him for a TV appearance.

Money. Honey.

This clown has clearly exceeded his 15 minutes.
