Shitbag
Yeah, that should pretty much cover it……
Jesse Ventura lawsuit vs. murdered Navy SEAL can move forward, judge says
Jesse Ventura’s lawsuit against “American Sniper” author Chris Kyle — purportedly the deadliest-ever American servicemen — can proceed with the war hero’s widow as a substitute defendant, a judge has ruled.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Arthur Boylan reportedly wrote in his decision concerning Ventura’s defamation suit, “(if) a party dies and the claim is not extinguished, the court may order substitution of the proper party.”

Suing a bereaved widow is going to damage his reputation more than making some douchebag comments and getting into a fight in a bar. Ventura doesn’t get it.
Turd
Title of the article says it all.
Remember, “Jesse”: Karma, she can be a bitch.
I take issue with the term “Shit Bag” being used here. By it’s very definition, a bag containing shit is serving a useful purpose and comparisons between that and Ventura do a disservice to the bag.
I wish ‘jesse’ nothing.
I’ll go sacrifice a loaf of crusty bread and some cheese to Ceres, the Earth mother and goddess, on behalf of the widow. I sill have part of that bottle of white wine and some watermelon to go with it.
ventura has always been a moron, now he shows how big a piece of shit he truly is. Fuck him!
As I recall the proceeds of the book are going to help troops with PTSD so he’s crapping on far more than just a grieving widow….as if that weren’t douchey enough…
the proceeds of the book are going to the family of the first SEAL team member from Kyle’s team to die in Iraq. I cant remember the guys name, but his mother spoke of their relationship with Kyle at Kyle’s memorial service
What an effing fool. Just goes to show you the lack of integrity when one becomes a politician. Guess they have to live up to the shitbag imagery. And yes, Karma is a bitch.
Marc Lee was the SEAL whos mother spoke and is receiving the proceeds from the book.
The real reason behind this is that Ventura is not getting enough attention and is very likely running out of cash.
Is that idiot show of his still on TV? It belonged in the the Mystery Science Theatre 2000 lineup.
DAMN, what a scumbucket!!!
Idiot… takes being a douche to an entirely new level. I am hopeful that the courts toss this lawsuit and ventura whose reputations was already utter garbage except with the most extreme conspiracy theorist and fellow schizophrenics when that incident took place.
Well I guess I will be the designated asshole….
If it’s all about telling the truth on this blog and Kyle did not with his story it seems that should be known. Ventura has a right to look someone in the eye and say he’s a liar. He has a right to have that discussed in a court of law if the person telling the lie profits from it, whether the profits are donated or not is irrelevant. When a lie is published and is accepted it becomes fact. If there is a dispute over the truth in such a case a court of law is the correct venue for resolution.
I have no reason to believe Ventura, he’s a self aggrandizing jerkoff who loves conspiracy theories and has some trouble with the truth himself. But that doesn’t make Chris Kyle’s story automatically the truth either. If the case proves frivolous the judge can make Ventura pay everyone’s court fees and that will settle the matter. It’s a low class move on Ventura’s part and clarifies the fact that he’s a low class turd, but even low class turd’s are allowed to have their case heard and the facts as known to the law determined.
Agreed Hondo, as I often say, Karma is indeed a harsh mistress….
Yes, Debbie Lee is a friend of this blog and we’re big fans of her as well.
I have met this mug and he is one underwhelming former Navy SEAL:
I will go with the author on this one – Shitbag!
Has Mr. Janos always been a douche?
VOV: if this article is correct, it would seem that Kyle had several witnesses whose recollections tend to corroborate his version of events. I don’t recall hearing anyone except “Jesse” dispute the accuracy of Kyle’s version.
http://www.startribune.com/local/167764165.html
“Jesse” is certainly entitled to his day in court – if he’s that stupid and stubborn. But if he follows-through, I do hope he ends up (1) losing, and (2) gets assessed court costs, and (3) is ordered to pay the legal fees for both sides.
@17 Ventura is a low class turd, the best outcome in my opinion is the 3 items you have stated.
A court of law in this case would then make Ventura a low class turd who lies about his reputation as a fact of settled case law.
I’d be very happy with that outcome.
Hondo, (@18)
It’s been reported that the owner of the bar where the incident alledgedly took place, also says the incident never happened. The owner is Terry Moy, who is a former SEAL and one of Ventura’s instructors.

Smitty, thanks for the correction.
VOV, I understand your point but for Jesse to carry this on after the man is dead? And to go after proceeds meant for another? I mean, Kyle wasn’t even profiting from this book. That makes Jesse a spiteful prick…
Need a TV with facial recognition so that on the very rare occasions (getting rarer every day!) that “Scruff Face” makes an appearance the TV will automatically switch channels.
I thought wrestlers had real integrity……
VOV, how is Taya Kyle supposed to defend the story or the book? she was neither there nor told the story. she is being sued and has no way to support her husband’s story. She doesnt know what happened any more than anyone else that was told the story. this sounds like a 4th amendment violation to me. Chris Kyle can not confront his accuser on the grounds that he is deceased. Taya Kyle now named as the defendant, is detached from the situation and incapable of defending her deceased husband. while the book profits may still be available, the person responsible for the alleged defamation is not.
having met both men, i wouldnt be surprised in the least if the story was 100% factual
Ventura just replaced monkyazz as largest turd burger in the U.S of A.
BTW, was a determination ever made re: Ventura’s SEAL claims?
@21 understand I have zero affinity for Ventura, but I also believe we all have the right to defend our name if we believe we are being mis-represented or lied about in a book that is purported to be a factual account of historical events. Regardless of who is profiting from the proceeds.
If Ventura had any class whatsoever he could easily say he was donating any judgment to the same person who is receiving the profits, I doubt he will do that but it would immediately make it clear it was about telling the truth rather than a pay day. I don’t believe Ventura is in for the truth…
The downside for Ventura, which I hope is the actual outcome, is that the case will settle who is telling the truth here…if Ventura loses it’s a settled case that he is the liar for saying something that never happened did in fact happen as exactly Kyle says….
royh
Yes, Don Shipley says he was a SEAL.
That settles that, then. Thanks!
The incident (Hail and Farewell to Fallen Team Guy) as far as I know happened at McP’s in Coronado. A Frogman hang out and owned by a Former Old School Navy SEAL. Now I know people who witnessed the incident and if the location and event is what I believe it to be, there were MANY witnesses and the alligators will have trouble convincing the procecutures otherwise.
@17: Yes
rough, (@26)
Here’s Senior Chief Shipley talking about Jesse Ventura.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KeO1DUtnKsE\
He was assigned to a UDT after graduating BUD/S.
@24 I don’t know either man, based on reputation and history I believe Kyle’s version also. That doesn’t mean that Ventura doesn’t have the right to ask that the question be settled in a court of law as it is a legal claim about the accuracy of a retelling of an event that is claimed to be historically and factually accurate as published.
Kyle’s death is irrelevant to the question of whether the story is true or not.
I am not suggesting that Kyle’s story is not the truth but he published a book as fact and he’s now responsible, or his estate is, for defending the story as long as the book continues to sell and make money for someone…
@VOV I agree with your posts. Ventura is a turd for how he is handling this but…he is using the proper venue. I believe the truth will come out in Chris Kyle’s favor. It is just a shame to put his widow through this. I wish I had better writing skills to express what I think as you do but IMHO…Jesse is an assbag for doing this at all and I hope Kyle is vindicated.
I think the judge’s decision can be translated from Legalese into plain English as “Mr. Ventura will now be directed to pay court costs to the widow of Mr. Kyle in lieu of Mr. Kyle himself.”
In fairness I was not there and don’t know who is right – but based on Mr. Ventura/Janos’ past lunatic statements, my money is on the Kyles.
@28 It’s interesting to me that Don Shipley says yes Ventura was a SEAL and leave it alone, but a couple of other SEALs have a huge problem with that….in their eyes he’s not so much a SEAL.
It’s way above my pay grade to determine any of it, so I leave it alone but it is interesting to note that there’s pretty vehement opposition to Ventura’s SEAL claims in at least one quarter.
@30: Well, Terry Moy (owner of the bar) said it didn’t happen, but who really knows. It’s boiled down to “he said/he said” and I don’t know which way this will go. I do know that Jim Janos is going to try and protect his reputation, whatever THAT is, and the courts are the place to do that. I don’t like seeing the SEAL community squaring off against each other, though. Yes, like every other brotherhood, there will be squabbles and “camps” on both sides of an issues, but it shouldn’t be aired out in public.
@33 Right, under the heading of KARMA when this goes against Ventura it will be a settled legal fact the Jesse is a liar…he said the story was bullsh1t. When proven that the story is not bullsh1t, well then we know legally who the liar is…
As Hondo suggests the judge can then have Jesse pay costs, attorney’s fees etc…all good in my mind.
@35: Well, Senior Chief didn’t say he was a SEAL, he said that he wouldn’t get all hepped up that Janos calls himself a SEAL. He was out before UDT and SEAL were combined and he didn’t go through the SEAL portion of the training, but still, UDT was high speed enough and they had many of the same instructors i.e. SEAL instructors, and I think that was what Senior Chief was talking about. Janos should have been proud of calling himself UDT.
@38 Thanks for the correction, I went back and watched Shipley’s video on the topic…
If Ventura wanted to take Kyle to court over a damaged reputation — fine. Taking Kyle’s WIDOW to court makes it look like Venture just wants the money.
@35, VOV
Don Shipley has verified that ventura graduated from a specific BUD/S class. what he did with the teams, and how long he opperated as a SEAL has nothing to do with Don Shipley’s verification.
OT–correct. While Janos was never a SEAL, nor was he ever in combat (as he is alleged to have claimed on several occasions) he did go through BUD/S training, no small feat.
But Janos to me is much like DullASS–what you did in the service does not justify or excuse a lifetime of shitbaggery.
And if even half of what Chief Kyle alleged was true, I’m surprised that Janos didn’t get knocked on his ass a few more times in that exchange. I’ve been to McP’s a few times and it’s not the kind of place you want to stir shit or go looking for trouble. This was remembering those lost on the deployment, including PO Monsoor, who would posthumously receive the Medal of Honor for sacrificing his life to save his teammates.
Let’s see Janos ever show that kind of courage. Yeah, didn’t think he would.
Did anyone besides me read “American Sniper”? I recall the story in the book, and no name to Ventura was made in the book – just a description of the guy. How will that play out in court. We could almost assume it was anybody, and not Ventura.
Just sayin’….
@43 It’s my understanding that during a radio interview Kyle identified Ventura as Scruff Face….
I’ve read that Kyle confirmed that “Scruff Face” was Ventura in interviews about the book.
Why our civil court system is such a cossal shit storm. Yes, Jessie. Your reputation was financially ruined because your old ass got hit for being stupid and it was mentioned in a charity book and not because of your years of being a colossal 9/11 truther faggot.
Jessie is like a bad STD that won’t go away.
Ya know, I don’t have much use for professional wrestlers. I have less for politicians. But this shit drops him down to Witless and Psul levels of dishonor.
I’m having a hard time placing him on the Psulie/Witless/Soulpatch/Burrell scale. With this huge dishonor, his tinfoil hat TV show, not to mention his willful descent into the giant chamberpot that is politics…he’s wracking up a huge karmic debt.
@47
Jessie is like a bad STD that won’t go away.
So is it “Jessie ‘the dick sores’ Ventura”?
That amuses me way more than it probably should.
CPO Kyle confirmed it on O’Rielly, Oppie and Anthony, and many other media sources.
