Was he really threatening violence?
Or are some people just looking for fighting words in any Leftist’s rhetoric?

He used “fighting words”, but delivered in a dispirited and weak voice. It was pathetic. It sounds like Jodl rallying his subordinates in the bunker. “Let's show these Russians what the master race can do!”

Nonetheless, he is clearly urging rough men to perpetrate violence on his behalf, because he cannot be bothered to do it himself.

“Was he really threatening violence?”

You should really look into the history of union goon violence in this country and then you can make your own judgment.

I say bring it on!

I also say Maxine Waters can go to hell and she can say hello to her mother when she gets there.

But....that’s just me. I’m Irish. I LIKE to fight.

This rhetoric doesn’t bother me in the least.

Judge for yourself.

Keep in mind how incendiary language may be interpreted by those who are in this “army” Hoffa is promising to obama.

Remember Tuscon? That crazy kid shooting Democrats and the blamefest that followed?

Tell me you do.

What about “...taking...out...” do you not understand?

It is surely not framed in the context as going out on a date.

Have you seen what is done to people who try crossing a picket line, when there are no public warnings given? Actually the same goes on today but the media is not reporting it.

I’m not saying we fear it, on the contrary we face it down eyeball to eyeball. It is high time that We The People dress these fools down but to do so means we will have to fight fire with fire.

Never forget, we surround them.

The SEIU weren’t called the purple people beaters for nothing.

I won’t mind seeing the union leadership driven into a rage. Sensible people stuck in the mushy middle might move from the middle.

We don’t need to fight back physically. We can win on ideas. This will enrage them even more.

Interesting read from Michelle Malkin:

...Meet Eddie York. He was a workingman whose story will never scroll across Obama’s teleprompter. A nonunion contractor who operated heavy equipment, York was shot to death during a strike called by the United Mine Workers 17 years ago. Workmates who tried to come to his rescue were beaten in an ensuing melee.

The head of the UMW spearheading the wave of strikes at that time? Richard Trumka. Responding to concerns about violence, he shrugged to the Virginian-Pilot in September 1993: “I’m saying if you strike a match and you put your finger in it, you’re likely to get burned.” Incendiary rhetoric, anyone?

A federal jury convicted one of Trumka’s UMW captains on conspiracy and weapons charges in York’s death.

According to the Washington, D.C.-based National Legal and Policy Center, which tracks Big Labor abuse, Trumka’s legal team quickly settled a $27 million wrongful death suit filed by York’s widow just days after a judge admitted evidence in the criminal trial. An investigative report by Reader’s Digest disclosed that Trumka “did not publicly discipline or reprimand a single striker present when York was killed. ...

In Illinois, Trumka told UMW members to “kick the s**t out of every last” worker who crossed his picket lines, according to the Nashville (Ill.) News.

Big Labor’s legacy of violence

Dunno.

If I call you and your family son of bitches and say to my pals, "Let's take them out", how are you feeling about my "rhetoric or is it a threat"?

Nah, nothing violent about “taking the sons of bitches out”. Especially coming from union goons taking about going to war. It’s all just in our heads because we’re all morons. Leftists mean us no real harm at all.
