I\u2019m fairly certain at this point I don\u2019t need to go over his bio, so let\u2019s just dive into the stinking cesspool which is his Candidacy Statement:<\/p>\n
Since publicly refusing my first deployment to Iraq last Spring, I have dedicated almost entirely my mind, body and finances to ending the criminal occupations of BOTH Iraq and Afghanistan and ensuring fair treatment for returning veterans and service members.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
I like your use of CAPS for BOTH. It really moves me in a way that nothing usually moves me except dysentery and prune juice. As far as I know, your mind and finances have been dedicated to illicit substances, and your body to hookers, so good to know you have a new hobby.<\/p>\n
For a year after my refusal, I organized and executed a grass-roots public defense campaign that resulted in my honorable discharge from the Army’s IRR which garnered wide spread media attention domestically and internationally.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Um, dipshit, you might want to check that discharge again. It wasn\u2019t honorable, it was General under Honorable. Not the same thing.<\/p>\n
I have extensive experience and success working with the U.S. Congress. As a board member, I will bring broad contacts from both sides of the isle to the center of IVAW’s strategic planning. As well, I have a great number of high-level connections and experience in the field of political communications that will greatly benefit this organization should I be elected to the board.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Really, name one success you had with Congress? Go ahead, I\u2019ll wait. Name a piece of legislation you worked on that passed. And what \u201cisle\u201d are you talking about? I\u2019m assuming you mean the \u201cIsle of misfit toys\u201d. Were you the train with square wheels, or the polka dot elephant? No wait, you were the pistol that shot Jelly weren\u2019t you? You are such a misfit even King Moonracer banished you from the Isle. Remember, no one wants to play with a Matthis in the box. <\/p>\n
I have organized and led many non-violent direct actions to further our points of unity, as well fought highly successful defense campaigns when civil disobedience led to the arrest of myself, our members and allies. I have never lost a defense campaign. No individual who I’ve been arrested with or helped defend has ever been convicted of any wrong-doing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
You have a startlingly poor grasp of our language. Beyond that, are you really arguing one of your strong suits is never having been convicted? What about when you only joined the Army to stay out of jail, does that count? I can\u2019t help but remember the scene in Stripes:<\/p>\n
Have you ever been convicted of a felony or a misdemeanor? That’s robbery, rape, car theft, that sort of thing?<\/em><\/p>\n
– Convicted?<\/strong><\/p>\n
Yeah.<\/em><\/p>\n
– No. Never convicted.<\/strong><\/p>\n
I am well known and respected throughout the Global Peace Movement and have worked tirelessly and effectively to repair damaged organizational relationships for IVAW. I have demonstrated a dedication to working with individuals of vast political views throughout my time as a veteran activist.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Yes Matthis, you are loved across the spectrum from Marxists to Trotskyists. (We play both kinds here, Country and Western.)<\/p>\n
Though I have endured extensive, personal and highly libelous assault for my military resistance and dedication to truth, I have remained an active and highly-visible member of IVAW, demonstrating my dedication to the cause of peace and veteran justice beyond any measure of personal sacrifice.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Libelous assault? Are you kidding? Who libeled you snookums? And what sacrifice have you ever made in your entire life? The only people I see sacrificing are your Dad, step-mom, Blanka and a host of other people you have fleeced. Not to mention the movement which you\u2019ve damaged by your unhinged jackassery. Should I keep going on about the tale of woe you\u2019ve left in your wake?<\/p>\n
But this part is my absolute fave!<\/p>\n
