Ventura, the American Jeltsin

[DaveThomasNMSR]

Do you happen to have the link to the original blog? I can't find it.

This is by far one of the greatest videos by UC ever.

It was this thread, which eventually wound its way into a discussion of Ventura's show, the missing footage of the thermite test, and UC's cool video.

According to Oystein it does not make a difference if Ventura or Bollyn says the untruth about 9/11.
...

FTFY

And what uke2se said.

I need to do more work on ventura, but honestly don't think I can come with anything funnier than what he's already putting out

 

[Quad4_72]

I see 9/11 investigator is back dishing out some more fail. Nothing new to see here.

 

[9/11 Chewy Defense]

Jesse Ventura is a pinhead, not a patriot.

Also Mr. Ventura's wrestling career should be under investigation. The dude is a fake wrestler, he was in it for money, fame & publicity. He's using Conspiracy Theories for money, fame & publicity.

 

[Drudgewire]

Also Mr. Ventura's wrestling career should be under investigation. The dude is a fake wrestler...

In fairness, that's like saying Charlie Sheen's Air Force career should be under investigation. He faked being a fighter pilot in Hot Shots.

Whatever you prefer to call Americans, he is popular in America.

The channel that only sells knives gets better ratings. The "Adult Swim" show "Assy Mcgee"...a show about a walking set of buttocks that fights crime..aires at 2am...and gets better numbers.

I'm surprised Tru-TV picked it up for another season.

Which one was about 9/11? The last one I presume?

I am completely unsurprised that Ventura's programs attract far less viewers than say Americans Idols. After all there are only a handful of forums like this one where people battle it out. I think that more than a million viewers is still a lot. And these are no doubt the more educated people.

Hey 9-11, I failed to read anything about this in any media today.

Oh well, there is always next year for the revolution.

 

[Quiproquo]

Is that sarcasm, Thunder?

 

[Unsecured Coins]

I hope not. I can't wait for this revolution to finally kick off.

 

[grandmastershek]

I would say I am shocked that Truthers still put stock in a guy who willingly left out the results of an experiment he requested an aired, but they still believe Alex Jones and that guy regularly pisses on their legs and claims its raining.

I know two people that watch him seriously (I know a few that like to laugh at him). Both consider the "National Inquire" to be a news paper.

Oh it is coming very soon. My unit already has orders cut to deploy to New York, for under the mission "Operation Roundup"

 

[Unsecured Coins]

You FOOL. The first rule of "operation round up" is you do not talk about "operation round up"

 

[leonAzul]

And these are no doubt the more educated people.

This is sarcasm, right?

No, Jeltsin.
