Despite President Obamas 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 todays Labor Day rally. Warming up the crowd before President Obamas 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? Theyve got a war, they got a war with us and theres only going to be one winner. Its going to be the workers of Michigan, and America. Were 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
Lets take these sons of bitches out and give America back to an America where we belong, he concluded.

The GOP leadership hates the Tea Party as much as the Rat do.
“The GOP leadership hates the Tea Party as much as the Rat do.”
True.
I could care less about what kind of rhetoric the LEFT use. Both sides have been using it since the nation was founded. It’s the hypocrisy and double standards of the LEFT wing media and some of the LEFT wing politicians including Obama that make me want to........well.....I better not say.
God..for the sake of this country..I hope you are wrong. Media Matters and leftwing zealots at Daily Kos are now in desperation mode trying to spin the whole thing into a ‘Fox News didn’t air the whole clip. I’ve listened to the whole thing...HE SAID WHAT HE SAID!!
AP has finally picked up the story with built in obfuscations and now every local media outlet in the country is parroting the lies of AP. See how that works? Obama has just been waiting on his goons in the media to shape the narrative...then he will make a statement.
FUBO!!
Wow! No comment?!?!?!
Immediately? It's a little late for that...
“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!”
—Well said.
Politically idiotic for the WH. Yes it’s by design but still idiotic.
Excuse me..but they were the ones calling for ‘civility’ when they accused Sarah Palin and the Tea Party of shooting Gabby Giffords!!
It’s the Alinsky Model..use it! Make these marxists live up to their own phony ‘civility’ standards! I say call them out on it and call them out good by raising the biggest stink we can muster.
The approval rate of Congress will drop to 0% if they show up Thursday night...
Can’t wait to hear Obama talk about “healing old divisions” at his big speech this week or whenever it is. What a total disgrace.
Or do the lessons of Tucson only apply to Republicans? Apparently those using incendiary rhetoric in support of liberal causes get an exemption from the lessons of Tucson.
Tucson was the first campaign speech for Obama's goal of a second term...
And yes, only white heterosexual conservatives need to practice civility.
Black flash mobs, Muslim terrorists, Mexican drug cartels and fat disgusting union thugs do not need to practice civility because they are better than us.... /major sarc
MSM forgives Hoffa. After all, the boy is an orphan.
And Janet would act - and quickly against conservative extremists - but with it being liberal goons - liberal extremists? Crickets.
I said I will contact the DOD under the ADA but I understand that Mr. Holder doesn't protect nor defend Caucasians...
:D
Agree. Not allowed to address the congress until he disavows Koffa’s comments.
Rush should be on fire with this tomorrow. I wish I had time to listen to the entire show.
Done (see "Doc's" comment at site):
"Thanks, Mary and Jake, for good, honest reporting."
WWGS (What would Gabby say?)
