Ventura vs. a SEAL?

Former Gov. Jesse Ventura is in the thick of another controversy, this time with a Navy SEAL who says the governor, who claims to be an ex-SEAL, disrupted the wake of a SEAL (Michael Monsoor) with loud talk about his opposition to the wars.

Chris Kyle told a Sirius XM Network show that he punched Ventura in the face in the 2006 incident. (Warning: There is an obscenity or two in this video)

The website, The Blaze, digs into the story a bit more, where commenters aren't buying the story.

The former governor has not yet responded to the allegations.

Most Seals are brainwashed killing machines, er, HEROES.

Ventura appears to have "changed his mind about something and realized he might've been wrong in an initial assessment or opinion."

More power to him.

At a wake, though, Jim? How is that much different from the Westboro Baptist Church?

If Ventura in fact said they "need to lose some of their own," he was indiscreet and cruel.

Kinda like war.
