Jesse Ventura is the latest public figure taking potshots at slain Navy SEAL Chris Kyle and "American Sniper."

The former Minnesota guv - who won a legal dustup with Kyle's estate last year because Kyle claimed he'd once decked Ventura - lashed out at the sharpshooter, calling him a liar and saying the box office smash was a piece of fiction.

Ventura is the liar. He is at the level of Michael Moore and is in dire need of an ass kicking.

Sliming a dead man who is rightfully regarded as an American Hero will do more than hurt his reputation in the military (active and retired) and the rest of us than anything Chris Kyle said.

It is evident he did not get the “respect” he expected when he won the civil suit. Keep talking Ventura. The more you open your mouth, the more you appear to be a small, vindictive, whiny little boy who has yet to understand it is your words & your actions which nauseate us.

That was a brutally tough scene to watch - I mean, GREAT scene, but when that wheel chair vet rolled out and waved the flag from the middle of the street...I just about lost it....

I find it hard to swallow in this day and age that Ventura was hurt/defamed by anyone saying they hit/decked a club hooligan. If my neighbor came out and said he decked Ventura once would he be up for slander or whatever. Hell, I just might make a lifelike cardboard Ventura (he has left a lot of droppings) and punch the hell out of it. Would Ventura take me to court?
