Sometimes it's necessary to get out on the streets and "get a little bloody," a Massachusetts Democrat said Tuesday in reference to labor battles in Wisconsin.

Rep. Michael Capuano (D-Mass.) fired up a group of union members in Boston with a speech urging them to work down in the trenches to fend off limits to workers' rights like those proposed in Wisconsin.

"I’m proud to be here with people who understand that it’s more than just sending an email to get you going," Capuano said, according to the Dorchester Reporter. "Every once and awhile you need to get out on the streets and get a little bloody when necessary."

Is incitement to violence an impeachable offense?

[DarthVader]

It is crime to incite a riot. The congress critter needs to be arrested and charged.

>>Is incitement to violence an impeachable offense?<<

It is actually a crime and not protected by the first amendment. I assure you that if you or I got up in front of a crowd and said that we would be dragged off the stage and locked up. And our words would convict us in any court in the land.

ping for later

Or hung as the TRAITORS to the Constitution they are.

So this is how it happens? This is how a powerful nation of laws collapses.

Politicians ignore the will of the people. Politicians willfully mislead the public, politicians ignore their duties, and as the decline continues, politicans willfully break the law with no consequences.

We’re cooked.

Inciting riots now ... The true dimocrat/marxist colors start to show ... blood red

[Netizen]

So much for putting an end to violent rhetoric,.

[Mr. K]

Maybe he needs to go to the new Giffords ‘civility’ center in AZ

[USS Alaska]

Capuano said, according to the Dorchester Reporter. "Every once and awhile you need to get out on the streets and get a little bloody when necessary."

Works for me.

They can call if they need a little help at getting a little bloody.

How much is a little?

Seems the critter can be prosecuted and thrown out of office and into jail.

I don’t think that freepers should complain too much. Some here were counseling people to take guns to protests yesterday. Calls for violence are pretty common here. Glass houses and all that.

[tcrlaf]

Silly Conservative....

Don’t you know by now that it’s not hateful rhetoric, or “The Rhetoric of Violence!”, when Done-While-Democrat??

Ask any member of an alphabet network news team, they’ll tell you. Only Republicans and Tea Partiers are capable of violence and hate!!!

[240B]

Sarah Palin should lay off the harsh rhetoric...What?
It wasn't Palin?

Well then Rush Limbaugh should stop this blatant incitement to violence...What?
It wasn't Rush?

Well than the RNC...No?

A Democrat!? Noooo! Democrats never use violent imagery...just ask them. They are sweet little kittens playing with bunny rabbits.

BTW, I'm sure this little rant will make all the new networks -— HAHAHA no one will say a single word about it...

[Doctor 2Brains]

I carry a gun almost everywhere I go, and I’ve never bloodied anybody. What’s the connection?

[Hemingway's Ghost]

Capuano is an effing douche.

[MichaelCorleone]

Hey, we’re talking about a DEMOCRAT and the UNIONS - they do whatever they want with impunity, don’t you know??

[BookmanTheJanitor]

typical Dem - looking for someone else to do the work for him

[jda]

So much for the civil rhetoric!!!

[devattel]

How convenient for the government to incite riots during protests in favor of government coddling, yet anyone who demands the federal government to quit spending is considered a terrorist. Remember, Congressmen speak on behalf of the federal government.

The word ENEMY was clearly defined by our framing fathers.
