No words for this kind of garbage.
Ex-Gov. Jesse Ventura, former pro-wrestler and perpetual raving nutjob, filed a defamation suit last year against Chris Kyle, ex-Navy SEAL and author of “American Sniper.” In his book, Kyle had written about a fight between him and Ventura:
After Chris was tragically murdered this past February, Ventura asked that Kyle’s widow, Taya, be substituted as the defendant. Because Jesse Ventura is a colossal ass.
'It would be unjust to permit the estate to continue to profit from Kyle’s wrongful conduct and to leave Governor Ventura without redress for ongoing damage to his reputation.'

He is suing the executor of the Sniper book. Just because Kyle is dead is no reason to drop the lawsuit. Money is still being made off of it and seeing how Kyle used the he punched Venture as a selling point of the book Jesse has every right to sue.

I don't agree with everything you post but I fully agree with you here.
Just because Chris Kyle is dead, a tragic and sad death it was, the fact is Ventura was still accused of something and all he wants is to clear his name.

Wait a minute so if this Kyle dude is lying about Jesse in his big important book
than what if he also is lying about his kill count? 250+ seems a bit over the top doesn't it?
Christopher Scott "Chris" Kyle (April 8, 1974 – February 2, 2013) was a United States Navy SEAL and known as the most lethal sniper in American military history, with 160 confirmed kills (out of 255 claimed kills), although these statistics have not been released by the Pentagon.

I haven't read it. I don't know if its claims are true, and I couldn't care less.
But I do know Ventura's lawsuit is based on what Kyle said in an interview, not what he said in his book.
And I also know Ventura is a corporate disinfo shill who despises the military (not hard to see why Ventura would be envious of Kyle; he was only a Storekeeper, Third Class!) And I also know Ventura is a liberal.
So I'm backing the Kyle family on this one.

He doesn't mention Ventura in his book. You obviously don't know much about his book.
