What does everyone think about him? I've heard Patton say good things about his books.

Shit Magnet was a fun read, but I have a hard time not hating the guy.

I've read some of the Answer Me! issues and Redneck Manifesto. Parts are funny and entertaining but it's pretty tough to take in anything larger than a very small dose.

I followed him on twitter for a while, cause the guy can be funny, but I unfollowed after a while because his attitude was so ... I don't know, it's like he hates us all and wants to see bad things happen to us. It bummed me out.

For me, his website writings and tweets went from "This is shocking!" to "This guy is pathetic and needs help" pretty quickly.

The weirdest thing is, the captions he puts for his pictures (his child, wife, etc.) on his website are pretty normal and affectionate.

I don't like misogynists, wifebeaters, and racists as a rule. This dirtbag is no exception.

Please read this interview. His justifications for beating his ex-wife and ex-girlfriend are stomach turning. He doesn't seem to have a problem with hitting women, and you know what? I have a problem with that.

Basically. I was trying to figure out how to compare him to Tucker Max, but Goad is about a thousand times worse. I don't know if Tucker Max has a history of domestic abuse to go along with his lack of talent.

I'd say the latter is way, way worse than either of them.
