Despite President Obama’s repeated claims to change the tone in Washington, the White House has no comment this afternoon on incendiary statements made by a union leader who spoke before the president at today’s Labor Day rally. Warming up the crowd before President Obama’s speech in Detroit this afternoon, Teamsters President Jimmy Hoffa, Jr. warned the largely-union crowd that the Tea Party was waging a “war on workers” and said that, come November, they should “take these sons of bitches out.” “We got to keep an eye on the battle that we face: The war on workers. And you see it everywhere, it is the Tea Party. And you know, there is only one way to beat and win that war. The one thing about working people is we like a good fight. And you know what? They’ve got a war, they got a war with us and there’s only going to be one winner. It’s going to be the workers of Michigan, and America. We’re going to win that war,” Hoffa told thousands of workers gathered for the annual event organized by the Detroit Labor Council. “President Obama, this is your army. We are ready to march… Let’s take these sons of bitches out and give America back to an America where we belong,” he concluded.

I will not buy anything that has the “Union Made” label on it.
and to think they said we were just astroturf
Jake Tapper was anchoring ABC news tonight.
I wonder if Diane Sawyer will mention it tomorrow night?
The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
I think Obama didn’t know what Hoffa said ,because in was not written on the teleprompter and he probably thought Hoffa was saying nice things about him
Of course! The media are nothing but the new politburo to American’s new marxist dictator.
Mr President:
Given the statements by Mr Hoffa and Vice-President Biden today, I am buying ammunition to prepare for the war I expect is coming.
Either you tell them to back down or I will assume you to be my enemy as well.
A war was just declared on American citizens. If our government cannot even address the declaration it is completely worthless.
I'm shocked, too.
I am SOOOO happy this happened. It will overshadow the DUMBASS POTUS’ speach on Thursday and makes this the topic. Awesome.
It’s so easy to despise this entire gaggle of Obamalunatics!
Yep..This Mary chick is getting hammered by the left in the comments section on her original report of this too. Media Matters is out trying their best to spin the whole thing. I don’t think it’s gonna work...the whole internet is on fire right now!
We should thank her for her honest reporting!
COWARD!!
CALL YOUR CONGRESSPERSON..DEMAND THAT OBAMA NOT BE GIVEN ACCESS TO GIVE HIS SPEECH IN THE PEOPLE’S HOUSE UNTIL HE DISAVOWS THIS VIOLENT RHETORIC!
Capitol Switchboard: (202)224-3121
Cite the poisonous environment and the White House's unwillingness to condemn it.
Suggest some "cooling off" time for Obambi. That ought to get his head spinning.
Thanks narses and Nachum for pinging your lists!
Well, here we are. Living in a nation led by someone who looks the other way when even a man introducing said leader tells the crowd to ‘take out’ the opposition. And the crowd CHEERS.
“There is not a black America and white America and Latino America and Asian America - there’s the United States of America.” —Barack Hussein Obama, 2004, DNC speech
Excellent idea!
I don’t know whether to laugh,scream or cry right now. I’ve never seen such an irresponsible act by a sitting US PRESIDENT in all of my days.
This man is seriously dangerous to the very unity of the United States!
Geesh....POST THE WHITE HOUSE NUMBER and give OBAMA an EARFUL.
At least that was the info I was provided second hand. I make it a point never to watch him myself.
