Hoffa's comments made to deflect attention from Palin's speech?

[Politics4US]

I believe that these comments were made by Hoffa after Obama or his advisors told Hoffa to make these comments to prevent Palin's speech on Saturday from getting any more attention. Even on talk radio, Palin's speech wasn't covered as much, because of Hoffa's comments. Secondly, Obama spoke privately about how he was annoyed that Palin's Facebook postings attracted so much attention, so Obama clearly would not have wanted her speech on Saturday to be a big topic through out the week. Thirdly, Obama tried to schedule his speech when the Republicans were going to be having a debate this week. I think this was planned.

nothing would surprise me....

Those speeches by Hoffa and Obama yesterday were the biggest gifts conservatives have ever been given. Remind people of them

I think Hoffa’s got a mouth but not brains enough to know when to shut up.

We should all pray to God that they are THAT stupid.

I totally disagree. If you haven’t noticed, the left is losing power fast and are becoming unhinged. Their hero Obummer has totally imploded. Just listen the the Black Caucus speeches last week. Their base is totally demoralized and these speeches are just a way to gin up excitement and passion for the stupid drones. All it is doing is firing up the Tea Party to fight harder.

I saw a dog take a poop today. I’m pretty sure it was taking a shot at Sarah Palin.

He's dead, Jim.

Maybe. But I understand that this kind of spew is regularly sucked down by union f*ck-wads at beer fests and union hall circle jerks all the time. This time was a rare public occurrence of what these humanoid primates consider actual communication.

[Politics4US]

Obama was going to schedule a speech when the Republicans were going to be having a debate, so he could have planned it.

Palin should announce her run for President just a few hours before Obama’s speech and she can announce her simple jobs plan of making Obama unemployed so that the rest of America can get back to work.

Talk about a shot across the bow.

The people who cheer what Hoffa said aren’t on our side anyway, people who see how offensive what he said is either or or may be with us.

I think that is a great idea. I hope she reads your post,

Before that speech, Lil' Jimmy Hoffa was a backwater chump. Today he has the potential to be another revolting Robespierre, the public accuser. We are on the slippery slope to Marxist anarchy after all.

We might be surprised how few care what Hoffa says. Most American guys watch ultimate fighting and gals the Chick-Flicks. They are all proud SOBs.

[newzjunkey]

Good grief.

Hoffa would've made the same asinine remarks.

The world of political discourse does not revolve around what Palin says or doesn't say. With a nod to old advertising, she is not E.F. Hutton.

[dforest]

Pretty silly. He was pursuing the plan set up to fire up their side of the aisle.

They have been ramping it up for a while now. You should take notice.

[Politics4US]

Not with a president speaking after the union leader. This wouldn’t have been covered if a president didn’t speak after the union leader. Notice a difference?

[Politics4US]

A president spoke after Hoffa. That’s why this was covered, and Hoffa probably spoke with Obama’s people beforehand.

Interesting you posted this; I was wondering the same thing and thinking of posting it as a vanity question. Would not put anything past the chicago-style politics....
