Bruins Goalie Tim Thomas Turns Down White House Invite

Boston Bruins goalie Tim Thomas has iced President Obama. Thomas, whose goalie mask bears the popular libertarian and Tea Partier phrase "Don't Tread on Me," declined to join his hockey teammates in a reception at the White House to celebrate their Stanley Cup championship.

Thomas chose instead to take a shot at the establishment on his Facebook page. He wrote:

"The Federal government has grown out of control, threatening the Rights, Liberties and Property of the People ... This was not about politics or party, as in my opinion both parties are responsible for the situation we are in as a country."

The Bruins Goalie isn't the first to play hooky from the White House.

In 1997 Mark Chmura of the Green Bay Packers skipped the trip to the White House, and last year Dan Hampton of the 1985 Bears refused to attend the team's 25th anniversary of their Super Bowl XX victory because he's "not a fan" of President Obama.

Tim Thomas for president! Him and Sarah Palin together are at least as smart as a regular person, stitch them together and lets get this circus freak show on the road!

When I masturbate, I draw a picture of Obama on my hand. Lord knows he fucks me enough.

My there are a lot of ignorant people posting on here, Oh, well, cést la vie.

Full disclosure, I have been a Bruins fan for many years, and this is the first time I have been embarrassed by them. Tim Thomas is a great hockey player, but we have no way of knowing if he is an intelligent man...although this mess would seem to indicate otherwise. Suck it up, Timmy. Fans shouldn't have to be subjected to your personal political views. If you care so deeply, retire and fix things.

@green1773 No doubt you're a scary individual face to face, though I'll bet I could still kick your ass. I love how you picture me as a rich, out of touch, wimpy old man--sorry to disappoint you, but then, you're probably getting used to disappointment by now, aren't you cracker? Now go vent your frustration on someone else--this is getting boring.

[pontifexish]

@green1773 It must be hard going through life seeing everything in black and white terms. I actually feel sorry for you, cracker.

[green1773]

@pontifexish lol, your a pussy. if you were anywhere were i was you would whining like a baby. you have no balls,a forum like this is for your type of scared little old men, no law degree would save your ass. i would bust you in two and then fuck your wife. i own your little pussy ass, your in denial, you ramble on about what you are,your the only retard on here doing that. you have no job even,you failed in life and your wife is out getting some because viagara cant even help you.

@pontifexish Cracker is a racist term to whites, ask an african american if you actually no one you dumb fuck, your not in touch with anybody on the streets. you say you have a law degree swtf would you know about the streets. everything you claim is stuff you read in books, your probably the so called 1%. you my friend have this belief that everything you so is the rule of law. go ask your wife what cracker means or if you actually knowe a black person ,ask them

[pontifexish]

@green1773 Enough with the racial epithets--it's bad enough that you throw around "retarded," "fuck" and "cunt" like they were going out of style. Regardless of whether or not my arguments are sound, you prove yourself to be a racist moron every time you leave a comment. "Cracker" generally refers to bigoted types like you, whereas the N word is simply a derogatory term used by crackers--now do you get it? Probably not. Goodbye, green1773, and I hope you get the life you deserve.

@green1773 The fact that you haven't mentioned any of your accomplishments is hardly proof that you aren't a pimply-faced teenager whose only job so far is bag boy at the supermarket. Your frequent use of "lol" and "lmfao" strongly suggests that you're not an adult, as does the rest of your immature ramblings. Finish school and read a book once in a while, will you? You may yet evolve into a decent human being, though I wouldn't put money on it. So long, you very sad and obnoxious punk.

@pontifexish so if i call a black man a nigger and he is a racist,that means i am not. where the fuck did you get that retarded logic from,are you fucking serious.my fucking god,your the dumbest fucking cunt ever.
