According to witnesses, Ventura started beaking off about the SEALS, and Kyle called him on it and told him he could apologize or answer for the comments. Ventura told Kyle to run along or get hurt - and that is when Kyle punched him out. Ventura lost the fight and later sued Kyle's estate for assault, slander and libel. He later dropped the assault suit. There is much controversy over exactly what happened but this much is public record.<br /><br />I have no doubt there was a fight that night, and I have no doubt that Ventura got punched out and that he probably deserved it. In my scholarly opinion, Kyle was out of line, Ventura was out of line and the whole thing should have been hushed up, swept under the rug and forgotten about. Unfortunately Ventura's conceit and ego are legendary and by the time he could collect - Kyle was dead and only his wife and son would be hurt by the suit.<br /><br />Ventura went ahead anyway and collected his cash and prizes from a recent widow and her heart broken son - proving himself to be the shitbird Kyle always said he was.<br /><br />That incident was a stain on Kyle's memory but not his character - I wish more politicians were held accountable for how they treat the military.Glen Filthiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03256741311142364722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497093028548856666.post-4505520615346194632015-01-27T07:37:42.503-05:002015-01-27T07:37:42.503-05:00Kyle claimed he punched out Jessee Ventura, which ...Kyle claimed he punched out Jessee Ventura, which he did not, and lost a multi-million dollar lawsuit against him. He was claimed he was shooting people during Katrina, which he didn't.

If he were a nut he never would have qualified for the SEALs and the fact is - he often got in supreme shit for telling the truth - chief among them that militant moslems are savage, ignorant enemies of civilization and that the best way to deal with them is a bullet behind the ear.<br /><br />You talk about manliness, Bob - but that guy walked the walk. Let us dispense with the PC and call a spade a spade. The effeminate liberals have always hated the military. And Hollywood - a bastion of left wing liberal idiocy and a community famous for producing the worst of America's moral and intellectual cripples - hates them most of all. <br /><br />I love it that the social justice warriors are fuming about how we refuse to be entertained and enlightened by their propaganda. They rage that Eastwood's movie is not true to life...how they would foam at the mouth and shit their pants in rage if the truth were told about MLK - that he was an abusive, philandering piece of shit and a race whoring hypocrite like Sharpton or Obama!<br /><br />Listening to the liberals whining about movies taking liberties with facts is like listening to the pot complain about the kettle being black. Michael Moore's crockumentaries spring to mind. As for me...yeah, I would rather see a movie about a real hero and not black idiots posing as heroes. There has been far too much of that lately and I too am sick of it.Glen Filthiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03256741311142364722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8497093028548856666.post-91057545344597594302015-01-26T20:42:42.124-05:002015-01-26T20:42:42.124-05:00White People are sick and tired of hearing about h...White People are sick and tired of hearing about how much they suck. Or why they're bad people for benefiting from a system built on slavery (which ended 50 years before their first European ancestor entered the country.) <br /><br />Hollywood's mostly Jewish movie producers must now find themselves between Scylla and Charybdis, wanting to profit from that tantalizing market of white bread conservatives, yet being too afraid to break ranks with the kill-whitey leftist party line. Which of them will be the first to break? TroperAnoreply@blogger.com
