Presidential candidate Herman Cain struck back Monday against abrasive comments made by Teamsters union President Jimmy Hoffa, Jr. attacking the tea party and congressional Republicans at a Labor Day event in which President Obama later delivered a speech.
Appearing on Fox News Channel, Cain said the reason Hoffa and others resort to vitriolic rhetoric to bash conservatives is because “they have no plan, they have no ideas.”
“The one reason the president and his administration don’t have an idea that’s going to work is they keep forgetting the business sector is the engine that drives growth,” Cain said.
“He [Obama] is offering the same old stuff so all he and others can resort to is name calling,” Cain continued. “That’s all they have to intimidate folks. When he mentioned about working people, tea party people work, too. The fact that the president made his remarks and didn’t offer one constructive idea about how he’s going the get this economy going and the reason is simple. He doesn’t have any. Zero job growth [in August] and I’m looking Thursday for another zero in that speech that he’s going to give.”
Hoffa Jr. said during his speech that unions need to fight a “war” against tea partiers and congressional Republicans.
“President Obama, this is your army,” he declared. “We are ready to march. Let’s take these sons of bitches out and take America back to where America we belong.”
Though Obama wasn’t present when Hoffa Jr. made his incendiary remarks, Obama noted the presence of the Teamsters union president during his speech. Other union bosses joining Obama at the rally were United Auto Workers President Bob King, AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka and SEIU President Mary Kay Henry.
A spokesman for the AFL-CIO has not answered multiple requests from The Daily Caller asking whether Trumka supports Hoffa’s comments.

Thank you, Mr. Cain, for joining Palin in speaking out against this travesty.

Mr. Cain’s comments were made yesterday, and I am glad to see Palin and Bachmann join him today with their sentiment.
Herman tells the truth—AGAIN.
Mr Cain is another one who gets it.
Oh, they have a plan. Gimme, gimme, gimme. Tax Republicans at 100% to get our benefits (note I don’t say “the rich” because union Cadillac plans are exempted from taxation). Use physical force to shut up anyone who gets in the way.
Well heck, there's a few *Perrywinkles* running around saying that Palin was the only one *fooled* into responding.
Now I see Cain and Bachmann stood up for the tea party and America, good for them!
The plan is Cloward-Piven and this administration has it down to an art form.
Correct. They have a plan. They just can’t be honest about the plan until they’ve finally seized power.
Damn Kerplush, there went another Perry Fairy theory!!
cloward-piven is another one of these socialist master plans that neglects feedback from Patriots. I don’t think it’ll work out as planned due to unintended consequences
I did not know that. Thanks for letting me know.
“Well heck, there’s a few *Perrywinkles* running around saying that Palin was the only one *fooled* into responding.”
Haven’t seen that, please source; however, the failure of any GOPer to respond to that idiocy by take them out “concrete” Hoffa is plain and simple dereliction of duty. You don’t sit back and take that kinda bull$h!t.
F’em.
***Cain said the reason Hoffa and others resort to vitriolic rhetoric to bash conservatives is because “they have no plan, they have no ideas.”***
Because they have no plans or ideas? In all due respect to Mr. Cain, I think (Hoffa and ‘others’) problems run far deeper than that.
I think the violent rhetoric IS their plan. I suspect this is code to “Obama’s army” for “Begin the violent operations”.
If Holder’s “people” and Hoffa’s “people” start committing mass violence, we will know that every dem official who refused to condemn the rhetoric even though specifically asked to do so was signaling their approval of the violent operations going forward.
Be ready, people. This could get really ugly really quick. Especially in places where guns are restricted so that only thugs who don’t care about following the law (Holder and Hoffa’s people) will be armed. I’d suggest that either you stay away from those places or carry a concealed weapon that nobody needs to know you have unless you pull it out to use on violent thugs.
I suspect that violence is their plan. And at least Hoffa, Biden, Obama, and Wasserman-Schulz are signaling for that part of their plan to kick into gear - for the army to mobilize and start doing mass violence. Two of those leaders used the violent rhetoric and 2 refused to condemn it even when specifically asked to comment, and now if there is violence by Holder’s “people” and Hoffa’s “people” those 4 democratic leaders will bear the responsibility.
Seriously why did Ricky, and Racky give AK's to the Narco Terrorists? Think about it.
