MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Jacob Volkmann admits he’s trying to make a name for himself as a fighter. The problem is it’s getting him in trouble at his other job.

Following a fight last Friday, the 31-year old White Bear Lake man was being interviewed by Joe Rogan. Volkmann told Rogan that President Obama should call him to schedule a “glass-ectomy.” Rogan then asked what a “glass-ectomy” is.

“A glass-ectomy is when you cut your bellybutton out and put a piece of glass in there so when you have your head up your butt you can see where you’re going.” Volkmann said.

The White Bear Lake School District apparently was not amused. Volkmann, who’s an assistant wrestling coach for White Bear Lake, said the district put him on paid administrative leave.

1. New favorite UFC guy!
2. Funny stuff - way to go!
3. Suspended from his public school job? Turn the tables -- had he said something about GWB four years ago, he likely would have been given a raise. Ugg!

[SECURE AMERICA]

If he was not fighting for the school district or representing them, they have NO LEGAL RIGHT to suspend him. Sue their asses off..........

When asked who he’d like to fight next following a fight in late 2010, Volkmann said “Obama” because “someone’s got to knock some sense into that idiot.”

That comment not only got Volkmann put on leave from the school district, but also caught the attention of the U.S. Secret Service. They questioned him not long after.

If the Secret Service visited everyone who thought Obozo was an idiot, they'd have to hire so many new employees the unemployment rate would go to zero.

They are well within their legal rights to suspend him.

Not a smart thing to do IMO, but the law definitely allows them to do it.

Too funny. Don’t know him, nor do I follow UFC, but I like him. Unfortunately, he’ll get the “Joe the plumber” treatment and, somehow, the MSM will make him the bad guy.

Seems there is something in the First Amendment to the U.S Constitution that say’s something about “Freedom of Speech”.

Oh, almost forgot, the Constitution is nothing of importance to Buckwheat and his supporters......

Fergetaboutit!

If Jacob Volkmann had said this about Sarah Palin:

1) Bill Maher would have him on his HBO show ASAP

2) Chris Matthews would get YET another tingling feeling up his leg

3) MTV would give him his own reality show

4) NY Times would claim this guy is the voice of a new generation.

5) He’d be Michael Moore’s new BFF

6) Joy Behar would be trying to bump uglies

7) KOS Kids would have a new American Idol to worship

8) Cal Berkley would give him an honorary PHD

9) Obama would give him a cabinet position

10) Public School district would make him superintendent with a 7 figure salary.

After Danial Craig, who plays a tough guy in hollywood, tells us Obama is the real James Bond, its good to hear the real deal from a real tough guy.

[Chipper]

He should have demonstrated it on Rogan right then and there. Rogan needs it also.

3. Suspended from his public school job? Turn the tables -- had he said something about GWB four years ago, he likely would have been given a raise. Ugg!

Let's protest outside the school and convince parents to defund the PTO!

[montag813]

Too funny. Don’t know him, nor do I follow UFC, but I like him. Unfortunately, he’ll get the “Joe the plumber” treatment and, somehow, the MSM will make him the bad guy.

NOT IF WE STAND UP AND ROAR AND STAND BY HIS SIDE! No one ever protested on behalf of Joe, nor outside the home of the bitch bureacrat who illegally released his tax records.

Sign me up.

[yank in the UK]

So much for freedom of speech huh?

[yank in the UK]

There was much worse things spouted off about GWB in a fit of verbal diarrhea by the progressive liberati. I suppose freedom of speech only applies to maggots of a certain political persuasion.

[Safetgiver]

but the law definitely allows them to do it....Cite that particular law, please.

[DJ MacWoW]

Did You Know?

The Current FReepathon Pays For The Current Quarters Expenses?

Now That You Do, Donate And Keep FR Running

[erod]

And he’s in trouble why??? Sounds like a real man to me not some pansy fag like Obama.

[GBA]

Can you cite which of the school's 'legal rights' trump an individual's right of freedom of speech, especially that of political speech?

Sounds more like a lawsuit waiting to happen and his to win and the school's to pay for.

And what a wonderful civics lesson for the students!

May the tree of liberty be watered with the school district's money.

[Chode]

prolly should be a galssOSTOMY

[yank in the UK]

I don't know if comebacknewt can cite that law or not, but I can cite which amendment gives this man the freedom to say whatever he wishes to.
