By now everyone has likely heard about Bruins goalie Tim Thomas declining to go to the white house because he disapproves of Obama. Frankly, I would have just gone, only because he was representing the Bruins, but whatevs. Then this assmonkey decided to open his piehole<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Look, if this cretin wants to stand outside the White House and spew his drivel, that’s free speech. But standing up the president? All that does is show that Thomas has the class of a swamp rat.<\/p>\n

What’s worse, you know Thomas would not have done this with the liberal Democrat Bill Clinton in the White House. Truth is, he felt free to dis Barack Obama, because Obama is black.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Assmonkey here also wrote a book about his experiences <\/a>in Viet Nam <\/del>Nebraska and Canada.<\/p>\n

In 1969, Jack Todd was twenty-three and happy beyond his dreams. He had left behind a hardscrabble youth in a small Nebraska town, had an exciting and enviable job as a reporter on the Miami Herald, and was wildly in love with his beautiful Cuban-American girlfriend. As the war in Vietnam drew closer, he assumed that he would fight, as the men in his family had always fought, though he was increasingly troubled by America\u2019s role there. His oldest friend had just returned from Vietnam and was already showing signs of the war-caused trauma that would destroy him; he had seen and done things too terrible to describe. He begged Jack to dodge the draft, to go to Canada. Nevertheless Jack entered the army and completed basic training. On leave before his departure for Vietnam, he agonized over a momentous decision. By now deeply opposed to the war, he crossed the border into Canada, leaving behind his family, the girl he loved \u2014 and his beloved homeland.<\/p>\n

Now one of Canada\u2019s most successful journalists, Jack Todd is a remarkable writer of great power and vibrancy. It has taken him thirty years to come to terms with the guilt and shame of desertion, to break the silence, to tell this controversial, important, profoundly American story. In a dark century, when many \u201conly obeyed orders,\u201d he chose not to. This is an intensely moving personal story told with passion and literary verve, as well as an eloquent account of a tortured time in American history. It is hard to put down, and impossible to forget.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, you loved your girlfriend so much you ran away. And now you’re going to lecture us on how to act? Really Dick? Here is his email, perhaps you could write to him and suggest he engage in autofallatio with himself until he asphixiates, however unlikely that is:<\/p>\n
