Then you fight the accusing liars in court to clear your name and reputation. You don't "suck it up"...........It's pretty simple really.

I had never heard anything negative about Jesse Ventura (as a person) before, but I am now aware that he has no humility or class.

That said the story seems to indicate that Kyle got into a bar fight around the time his wife was pregnant; this does not speak well of him either.

And now for a prayer:

Please Lord God, forgive Kyle for his sins, comfort Kyle's family through this time of hardship, and guide the courts to make the right decision. We thank Kyle for his service to our nation under God.

So, Kyle will be required to produce witnesses?

He is dead. Put a dead man on the stand and cross examine him!

That makes sense.

He was at a SEAL bar after the memorial service for his fellow SEAL and Medal of Honor recipient Mike Monsoor, who jumped on a grenade to protect two teammates. He wasn't out at the local watering hole knocking them back on a weeknight. Better?

You don’t seem to know much about Ventura. Having lived in MN; listened to his radio program; seen his self-promotion and heard his distortions and truth stretching on many occasions, I can assure you that this is strictly about money and being a big man once a bigger man was gone. Plain and simple, Ventura is a self-serving blowhard without a thought for others ever passing through the chasm between his jug ears.

Whether or not he got in a fight in some bar and got beat up by a real seal isn’t even a factor.

Actually it is........that's the whole basis of the libel lawsuit in case you haven't been keeping track. Kyle made the written claim in a book and it can't be substantiated by witnesses.......

Whatever Ventura is or was or claimed to be, is not the issue here. In a twisted way, you're now sounding like a Trayvon Martin supporter...........

“Such as lying about being a seal.”

I do not like the ex-governor at all. And he cannot justify suing Kyle’s estate. However, on this point I want to make it clear. He DID go to BUDS and did graduate. The only issue is that at the time they were referred to as UDT, not SEALs. They became SEALs shortly after he graduated.

Jesse should forgive. This is the type of thing that separates libertarians from Christian America.

To put it into perspective for you, how about if I write a book detailing my experiences with FReepers on this site and say that I witnessed GeronL having sex with an underage male in a back room at a FReeper convention? No witnesses, just my word about GeronL in my book............How ya gonna react?

I'm sorry, but how in the world to you equate claiming someone committed a felony with the supposed winner of a bar fight? I know where you were trying to go with this, but really, when you're trying to put things in perspective, it might be best to actually put them in perspective rather than choose an example that is grossly different.

To put it in perspective, you write a book claiming in high school GeronL was beaten up by a geek.

In other words, you'd really have to go far to actually demonstrate that there is any loss in the first place. The issue died with the accuser. Jesse Ventura is doing himself more harm than any possible clearing of his name could possibly gain by suing the widow of his accuser.

That's the claim in Kyle's book and after all the controversy that has occured over the past couple years, NOBODY but NOBODY has been found to have witnessed the fight.........

No, i didnt even know about him getting his butt kicked until he started whining about it.

It has no affect on the disdain I have for him. It was already in the gutter.

I know where you were trying to go with this,

then we really have no argument do we? Stop pontificating............

Kyle made a libelous statement against Ventura in his book that Ventura disputes and nobody has been found to have witnessed Kyle's claim. Without witnesses then that is indeed libel and Ventura has every right to clear his name no matter what it takes........

Jess is suing the estate. He isn’t suing her, per se, but the estate. It has money and he wants it.

Since she most likely inherited the estate, along with her children, then he is suing her, as she will be the one to lose the money.

He was in the Navy during Vietnam, he did not serve in Vietnam. Just the luck of the draw. He left the Navy 8 years before the UDT became the Seals.

He was also a member of the Mongol biker gang.

He’s also many other things which do not endear honor and respect. 9/11 truther being one of them.

I doubt she will ever loose a dollar out of her pocket when the suit is finally settled in Ventura's favor...........

Huh?

And Kyle filed statements from witnesses who were there supporting Kyle's version of events. Have they recanted?

I think we can safely say the comments on this board have nothing to do with what the dead man said. I don’t know what he said but still think Ventura is a first rate a**hole based on what is known about him.
