Go Jesse

Jesse Ventura is my new favorite superhero:
Americans have changed “in that we have a paranoia that there’s a crazy Arab around every tree,” Ventura told Marcus Baram. “We’re walking on eggshells now, when in reality you have as much chance of running into a terrorist as winning the Powerball.”
He ripped into conservative talkers, such as Bill O’Reilly: “I always want to go on [his show], I’ve got something, I’m going to blast him for something. I don’t want to reveal what it is so he can’t prepare. But he doesn’t have the courage to have me on.”
On Sean Hannity, whose show Ventura guested on this week: “He’s scared to death of me. It was over in a few minutes and that was it.”
The former Navy SEAL said he’d relish an opportunity to waterboard Hannity, a procedure he endured himself during military training: “I’ll bet him a thousand bucks that I can get him to say ‘Barack Obama is the greatest president’ — if I get him to say it, he’ll give the thousand to charity and if I can’t, I’ll give the money to charity.”
Ah, but he spareth none:
Ventura didn’t spare Democrats either, on torture: “They condoned it. Nobody stepped forward and said this is torture. Democrats are so spineless, so afraid to go against the tide.”
Yep.

Is he the only Navy seal (or UDT) who went through the training? Big mouth Ventura needs some attention and he gets it because the progresives movement now believe he is credible.
I don't necessarily disagree with everything he says about waterboarding, I just find laughable that he is now being idolized by the left. But the left loves it's idols.
Tingling going down the back of one's leg is just awesome! |

In those days, you still had to be charged with a crime before you were guilty of it– and had to be charged even to be held. Today, it seems they can hold you as long as they want to– its absurd," - Jesse Ventura
never get it twisted, Ventura rises above the false left/right paradigm most Americans buy into. www.infowars.com |

Seems hard to believe that if it is really torture that it can't take someones life, doesn't mutilate the body and leaves no marks after. Sounds like coersion, not torture. |

Suffocation with water isn't torture? Are you kidding me? Why did they have to keep doctors on hand to perform CPR if it was just coersion? By the way, electricty also doesn't leave marks if applied correctly. |

Waterboarding can induce cardiac arrest. |

Yep. He's absolutely looking for publicity. But he also knows there's a constituency, largely on the left, that's buying what he's selling - strength through idealism, rather than strength through fear and control.
He might even belive it himself. He sounds like he does. But he's virtually alone in throwing the right's political nonsense right back in their face - something the Democrats should be doing, but once again are too timid to do.
I'll give this to Cheney - the American people respect strength. But - as Ventura demonstrates - they also respect a little honesty. |
