Today at a labor rally in Detroit, Teamsters President Jimmy Hoffa Jr. declared war on the Tea Party and rallied the crowd to “take the son’s of b#$%$$ out.” He implored the President to use his vast resources and that the unions were Mr. Obama’s “army” and that they were “ready to march”.
It is unclear if Mr. Hoffa was calling for violence against those that believe in free market labor or the Tea Party, but using the standard much of the press applies to the Tea Party one could only assume that Mr. Hoffa was calling for armed resistance and targeted killings.
Alright, alright, Jimmy Hoffa Jr. was not calling for blood in the streets, but his rhetoric will surely be worrisome to many. It hasn’t been a year since Gabrielle Giffords was shot and the media attacked Sarah Palin for using targets in a campaign ad for Congressional candidates her PAC backed in 2010. Where is the new era of civility that the Democrats called for? Or will that idea be pushed aside like “PAYGO” was once the Democrats controlled both houses of Congress and the Presidency? In this instance Obama looks to be headed for defeat next November. Perhaps the rules of civility aren’t that important when your guy is threatened? If the media at large doesn’t pick up the ball on this one, I’ll assume that is the case.
The President addressed the crowd shortly after Mr. Hoffa, tellingly he didn’t talk about toning down the rhetoric this time.
More Spanish Civil War than American Civil War then?
They are not better organized than the Army or National Guard and they will get squashed.
AH Jimmy Jr. should be given a drug test and jailed.
... they won't be there to help you.
I think a lot of dead people will be surprised when they learn that.
Yeah, we got handguns but we really prefer sniping with long guns from behind ridges and trees.
It’s a cultural thang.
:)
Hope he joins his dad, wherever that is.
Here’s hoping they’ve saved a plot next to Jimmy.
Yeah, that’s gonna happen....:-\
Exactly. There are a lot of union workers (IBEW) where I live. They all drive pickups with an "I'm The NRA and I Vote" bumper sticker on one side of their bumper and an Obama/Biden bumper sticker on the other side. Not very bright.
“The cops are no match for the military or the national guard.”
They’re pretty good at shooting family dogs.
That’s called “Cognitive dissonance”.
“... a lot of dead people will be surprised...”
What?!
Where I live the state government and even the police will do its duty. In union states there will be trouble and people will defend themselves. We need to call up our congressman and senators and call this the last straw.
What a loud mouth thug! He can kiss my dimpled chad.
WTF does that mean?
Bring it on union punks,
bring it on.
BTW: It says a lot more about their stupidity when you consider that they work at the coal powered electrical plants that Barry and his envirowackos have in their sights.
Seconded with great vigor. Bring it on the mountain!
That’s right and dogs don’t shoot back with heavy armor piercing and high-explosive weapons like the military boys do.
