Former MN Gov. Ventura wants to add widow to suit against Navy SEAL Chris Kyle

[hollohas]

...talk shit about a man that had made millions on destroying Jesse's character. Like him or hate him, his character was defamed and the jury agreed.

Do you really think ANY of the people that purchased this book did so because of the story about Mr. Scruff Face?? Kyle didn't make millions on destroying Ventrua's character...he made millions because he wrote a compelling book of which an extremely small percentage contained the story about Ventura and none of it actually included his name. It's reported that $1.3M of the award was for unjust enrichment. Which to me means that the jury believed $1.3M of the profit they received from book sales were due directly to the apparently false story about Ventura. That's simply BS.

It's much more likely that ZERO people purchased the book because of the minor story about Ventrua and therefore ZERO of the award should have been due to unjust enrichment. Or at the very most, the unjust enrichment award should be the same percentage as how many of the 525 pages in the book reference the false story.

Let's say there are 10 pages about this bar fight. The book made $3M in royalties by the last figure I have read. That would be $57k in unjust enrichment. This $1.3M is absolutely overboard.

Award Ventura some money for defamation = fine. (Although I personally disagree with the suit). But Kyle's estate should absolutely not be be guilty of $1.3M worth of unjust enrichment regarding this case.

And one thing is absolutely clear. Ventura has successfully tarnished his own name during and after this court case a HELL of a lot more than Kyle did with this book or his interviews.

I think a lot of people that didn't know who Chris Kyle was did buy the book because of the Ventura story.

Like it or not, Jesse Ventura is, and always will be, a bigger name than Chris Kyle.

Why? Because the majority of Americans don't give two shits about who Chris Kyle is.

But they do know who Jesse "The Body" Ventura is. They know that he ain't got time to bleed. They know that he can body slam in the ring and in the Government. They know!!!



In summary, the Ventura story damn well sold books. Lots of books.

If this was true than Jesse Ventura's books would be better sellers than Kyle's but they don't even come close.

Why would anyone buy the book for the Ventura story when you could read it in 5 or 10 minutes sitting around Barnes and Noble with a cup of coffee? I read the book twice and don't even remember any part of the bar fight story. It would have been the least interesting part of the book, anywany

Here it is in all its glory: http://m.nationalreview.com/article/...lgado/page/0/1

All you little butt hurt worshipers need to realize that your war hero lied and made some shit up. And he got sued for it and lost.

Nothing else matters. Not Jessie's not being a SEAL by technicality, or what he said about his service, or what he's done in his life. What matters is what Kyle wrote in his book and what he did to promote that book.



You guys are on the wrong side of the equation on this one... Sorry...
