Groupie, gropie.
Half dozen of one, 6 of the other.
His self loathing or the sycophantic nature in which he follows 'pro wrestling"?
Maybe it's just a 'men in tights' thing.

Well what do you expect? After all he ran as a conservative indy.

LOL! Funny from someone who created a thread called ''I'm Here, I'm Queer''.
HAHAHAHA!!!
You live there and you don't know he ran on the "Reform/Independence" ticket?:roll:
I've always thought of Jesse Ventura as an entertainer. I remember "the Body" from the WWF in my teens when he was the most entertaining part of the show on Saturday morning/afternoon. I found it hard to take him seriously as a politician (although to be honest I never saw much of his political career) and now in this role. I believed him, when in an interview (60 Minutes maybe?), shortly after leaving the governor's mansion in Minnesota, he was bitter about the way the established parties banded together to block any initiatives he wanted to implement, as he was an outsider to both the Republicans and Democrats. Otherwise, he has as much credibility as WWE promoter Vince McMahon does... and I'm a long way past my teens when I used to watch these guys (and even then I knew it was faked)...
No he didn't (As DaS so aptly pointed out). But regardless, what would it matter if he did?
Are you still under the silly opinion I'm a conservative?
Yes I did. So what?
You know what's really funny? The fact that after being repeatedly informed of the gist of that thread (Not that anyone without a severe reading comprehension issue needed it explained to them) you still haven't been able to grasp it.
Now that's funny...
Obviously, you fail to understand that they are reputed to be conservative oriented here.
---------------------------
Yes, you are: big laugh a minuteNow that's funny...
Too lacking in rationality to be anything else.

I thought Bell retired years ago and never did go for the "inside job" theories?:lol:Boy how bout that Jesse Ventura.:lol:
Mission Control this is the Captain of the thread: "Jesse Ventura: Portrait of a Conspiracy Nut"
We have been hijacked:lol:
and.. ahem. I think it was.. cough cough..
An Inside Job!
WEST OF THE ROCKIES YOU'RE ON THE AIR!
I think he still pops in from time to time. I actually enjoyed the show when he was doing it and yeah Bell showed some skepticism. I remember he opened up a line specifically for Satan to call, but the devil apparently was too busy what with Halloween approaching. He had an awesome radio voice and a good sense of humor.
Reputed to be oriented now stands for completely factual?
Of course I am. I have you as my punchline.
A no fail partnership.
How many pro gay rights, pro choice, Native, secularist, communal-ist, conservatives do you know?

Don't be such a kiss up artist. Amazing how these right wingers never stop sticking up for each other. It's a mutual butt wipe society for them here.
That's the reputation they always had here, especially in those days when the Republican party was called IR or Independent Republican. This is because conservatives and libertarians thought they were ''too liberal'' to be real Republicans. Jesse always had this reputation and still does. None of you up there in your right wing dream land are qualified to say one way or the other whether or not this is so.
You are free to express whatever opinion you wish but none of your delusionalisms about Minnesota politics have any basis in fact. And just as I don't attempt to dictate to any of you how to interpret your politics, you have no business telling me what is or isn't fact here.
Well, if you don't like that reputation don't wipe his butt. If you have any proof that my statement was incorrect why the hell didn't you post it rather than make such an inane comment? If you have some proof that Jesse's party was some liberal organization or that he has a liberal reputation, let's you post some proof. Go ahead, Genius - let's see what you got.
Conspiracy is the essential operative crutch of our western culture. Only an idiot would deny it's proven permeation of our rotten system. The list of inside cons threatens to topple uncivilization by it's mass alone. That too is by design. TPTB know from long practice what the sown confusion eventually does to civil continuity and the impossibility of the uninformed citizenry seeing through the veils ahead of time precisely because of the work of the agents of chaos like those self proclaimed wise men in this thread shilling for the NWO which they no doubt hope to be someday rewarded for. They should recall what happens to the bearers of treasures to be hidden in the world of pirates.
I watched one -- the weather control device in Alaska. He makes an interesting case and one could almost believe it the way he presents it until you realize that he leaves out any piece of contradictory evidence to the point he is trying to make.
I have no doubt he believes some of the stuff he is selling.
The show was entertaining though.
Jesse wins!

Ventura wins $1.84 million: ‘Overjoyed reputation restored’
Article by: RANDY FURST and JAMES WALSH , Star Tribune staff writers Updated: July 30, 2014 - 7:12 AM
Ventura shocks world again as jury grants him $1.8 million in damages for defamation by book, “unjust enrichment.”
Defying predictions of a slew of legal observers, Jesse Ventura won his defamation suit in U.S. District Court in St. Paul on Tuesday, but in his first U.S. interview afterward, he said he had “mixed emotions” about his victory.
“I am overjoyed that my reputation was restored which is what this whole lawsuit is all about,” the former Minnesota governor told the Star Tribune in a face-to-face interview in downtown Minneapolis.
“But the emotion is [about] what’s been taken from me. I can’t go to UDT [Underwater Demolition Team]-SEAL reunions anymore because that was the place I always felt safe, and who will be next to throw me under the bus? I’d have to spend my time looking over my shoulder.”
Ventura, who won a stunning 8-2 verdict from a jury in federal court in St. Paul, had frequently attended the reunions for decades and testified he considered them his brothers.
But since the late Chris Kyle’s bestselling book “American Sniper” was published in 2012, he has become persona non grata for Navy SEALs, according to his own testimony.
After six days of deliberations by a deadlocked jury, U.S. District Judge Richard Kyle, with permission of lawyers from both sides, allowed the jurors to return a split verdict.
Ventura served as governor of Minnesota for one four-year term when he was elected as an independent in a three-way race in 1998, surprising pollsters and pundits.
But many legal experts thought he was over his head when he resisted attempts to settle his defamation suit, which he filed in 2012. The standards for winning a defamation suit are high, and he was considered an underdog.
“He shocked the world in 1998, and he’s shocked the world in 2014,” said Joseph Daly, a professor emeritus at Hamline University law school. “Jesse, basically is a winner.”
The jury awarded a total of $1.845 million against the estate of Chris Kyle: $500,000 in defamation damages and $1.345 million for “unjust enrichment”— or to be specific, $1,345,477.25.
“I was nervous when the jury stayed out,” Ventura. said He said he was “very worried” because he could not understand how anyone could believe he had been punched in the head by Chris Kyle, as Kyle claimed in the book and media interviews.
For one thing, Ventura said, photos showed he had no black eye or bruises, when he had a history of profuse bleeding because he takes a blood thinner.
He also couldn’t believe anyone could think that Kyle could knock him down.
“I am 6 feet 4, I weighed 255 pounds and I’ve wrestled Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant, and this guy is going to knock me down with one punch and [leave] no mark on me whatsoever?”
While vindicated, Ventura said, he would have “permanently moved to Mexico” if he lost “because I would have nothing here to live for. If you can’t win in court with the truth, there’s nothing left.” Ventura and his wife, Terry, live about five months of the year in the state of Baja California, Mexico, mostly in the winter.
Judge suggested solution
It was Judge Kyle, who is no relation to the defendant, who proposed to the attorneys the idea of accepting a verdict that was less than unanimous.
Not knowing the divisions inside the jury, David Olsen, Ventura’s attorney, told reporters after the verdict that his legal team was prepared to accept a margin as small as 6 to 4, while attorneys for the Kyle estate opted for 8 to 2.
