Jesse Ventura Lays Waste To Fox And Friends (VIDEO)

My word, Jesse Ventura is basically straight up walking across America from one television news studio to the next, just plain wreckin' whatever fools he finds hanging out there, like he was Caine in Kung Fu or something. Here's a clip of Ventura dispensing his version of street justice to the gaggle of naifs that host Fox And Friends. Brian Kilmeade, who I believe the kids call "the Brown one," is goaded into riling Ventura up on waterboarding, and it doesn't really go well. "If we're not going to be a country that goes by the rule of law when it's convenient or inconvenient then what do we stand for?" Ventura asked. Kilmeade whined back that things are different when "people are on fire" and "buildings are blowing up." Ventura maintains, "I wouldn't torture," properly citing the fact that it produces "baloney."

Oy. Then the Brown one says that his support for torturing the bejeezus out of people will end when "they're dead," which was not a smart thing to say to Ventura. "Really? Have you enlisted? Have you enlisted or are you just talking?... Go walk the walk, don't talk the talk."

Actually, I think we can all agree that having Brian Kilmeade attempt to defend this country in any capacity would be one of the worst ideas imaginable.

That was ugly!

Please Jesse, for the love that is all is holy, making sense and smacking 'round Neocon Sheep!

The first couple of times was very cool, not it just not sporting!!

[SPZig]

Jesse Ventura is a true American patriot. The more he talks, the more I like him. Its a shame he said he isn't going to run for office anymore though.

[Shammie2000]

[blaqntelligence]

My respect for Mr. Ventura just keep growing.
I watched him ream hannity a new one, now this.
I know he's not doing it for my entertainment but boy am I having a ball watching this.

[just4shiggles]

I agree! I'm so glad that he is speaking out about this issue. He is someone who will not let the right wing talk show hosts speak over him. Go Jesse!!! I hope he gets to sit down with Beck and O'rielly also!

[celaceysr]

For all of you who just viewed this video & don't understand what you were watching...I'm all to happy & willing to provide the following interpreta­tion......­........"A COMPLETE ASS WHUPPING"

Thank You

[roma1]

Go Jessie!!!!

[Furrypeanut]

Give that man a radio show! Aside from his wacky 9-11 theories... he's pretty good at banging on the right wing freaks.

[jazzycafe]

And the blonde lady says, "Well, this has been a fun chat. Let's do it again soon, shall we?"

[poeticjustice4all]

This is what happens when teabags get in hot water.

Mr. Kilmeade's indignant posturing and faith-based fear-mongering dissolves when faced with Ventura's protest of violations to the rule of law.

[BabblingBrooks]

Other than that Ventura is, legally, wrong, you might have a point.

[serialcoma]

Nice to see you remain an id io t.

This is a quote from this article...

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/11/02/AR2007110201170.html

After World War II, we convicted several Japanese soldiers for waterboarding American and Allied prisoners of war. At the trial of his captors, then-Lt. Chase J. Nielsen, one of the 1942 Army Air Forces officers who flew in the Doolittle Raid and was captured by the Japanese, testified: "I was given several types of torture. . . . I was given what they call the water cure." He was asked what he felt when the Japanese soldiers poured the water. "Well, I felt more or less like I was drowning," he replied, "just gasping between life and death."

Jesse Ventura for President 2016!!

[AmericanScream]

Dear God No! Speaking here as a Minnesotan. He may sound good lately, but that doesn't mean he's a good leader.

[Lahonda]

Jesse - Chess
Fox - Parcheezi

[patricklee5150]

I never thought the day would come when Jesse Ventura would be the smartest guy in the room!

[BabblingBrooks]

He wasn't. Hell has not yet frozen over.

[RobinLandseadel]

Not yet, but the polar ice-caps are melting.

Jesse was the smartest man in that room. Steve said nothing and the other two had nothing intelligent to say. The camera and board operators didn't pipe up and the director was mum. Jesse was the only man in that room that made any sense.

ITS AMAZING TO ME, HOW THESE LATTE DRINKING, DRAFT DODGING SISSIES ARE TRYING TO COMPARE THEMSELVES WITH A WAR DECORATED NAVY SEAL.


IT BOGGLES THE MIND.

[ECBA88]

You mean... it isn't legitimate to recognize someone's greater authority than your own on an issue, and listen to them a little, and then be happy when they make sense?

By the way, how old do you think HuffPost readers are? I was born in 1988 and have yet to dodge a draft. Are you a current or former armed services member, or do you have the same level of military experience as I do?

Don't forget, Sarah Palin loves her lattes too. But sometimes even she takes her finger off the shift key. You should take her as a role model and try it.

[BabblingBrooks]

I won't say I'm a FAN OF ECBA88, but I am a fan of this particular post! Thanks much.

[BabblingBrooks]

They aren't trying to compare themselves to a SEAL. It's YOU FOLKS who are doing that!

[novoorganum]

and my man Eisenhower :

"In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist." - Dwight Eisenhower, Farewell Address, Jan. 17, 1961.

[BabblingBrooks]

Eisenhower might, today, note the disastrous rise of misplaced power in the congress and the presidency.

[RobinLandseadel]

He probably couldn't help but notice the rise of the corporations who effectively control that congress and presidency you're deriding. Not to mention the awful imbalance of taxes funding towards the military in this country.

[novoorganum]

Kilmeade: if you have never wore the uniform, then you should shut your trap!

[BabblingBrooks]

That's not the way THIS COUNTRY works. Perhaps you are thinking of military dictatorships?

[Mnemanth]

No, I think we're thinking that unless you've served your country in uniform, you don't have a very informed or intelligent opinion regarding these matters.

[RobinLandseadel]

Preemptive war---Bush Doctrine, anyone? Yes, you Mrs. Palin---is the mark of a military dictatorship. So are legal rulings designed to render legal what has been universally regarded as torture for centuries.
