Thug.

(TPM) — Teamsters union president James Hoffa would say it all again if he could, he told TPM Monday.

Hoffa riled up Fox News and the right wing Monday with a Labor Day speech in Detroit in which he called Republican members of Congress “sons of bitches” and said union workers are ready to “go to war” with the tea party next year and “take out” Republicans at the ballot box.

Hoffa said he’d say the exact same words all over again.

“I would because I believe it,” he said. “They’ve declared war on us. We didn’t declare war on them, they declared war on us. We’re fighting back. The question is, who started the war?”

One better..

Hoffa Sr was pardoned by Nixon and released from prison early.

“Because those of us watching the evolution of Obama’s war on American citizens watched AP pick up the Media Matters meme within 30 minutes.”

I never saw a post mentioning that and don’t go to MM. Guess I will start...

This individual is a jack booted thug...akin to a fascist.

Well, patriotic Americans soundly defeated fascism once in the form of Adolf Hitler to the point that his name and his Nazi organization is a hiss and a bye word around the world.

We can do it again...and it looks like we may well have to.

2012 is coming and we are going to double down on 2010...despite all the Hoffas, Maxine Waters, Joe Bidens, and Barack Hussein Obamas and their feelings and actions to the contrary..

I am so sick of the double-standards applied to the left and the amorphous grass-roots movement we call the Tea Party.

The left has stolen from us and has attacked our values for decades. When, we finally get fed up after Santelli's rant on CNBC and we begin to organize, the left calls us racists, "astro-turf", and "wing-nuts". Just google "free republic" sometime and see the how derisively the left views this forum and the good people who defend American values.

Some nut-case in Arizona shoots people, after which the media wrongly attributes the blame to us and the anger they perceive in our movement. We are then lectured by the President and his sycophants in the media about how we are the cause of this coarsening political debate. Now, the President attends a Labor Day event, after months of directly blaming Republicans and the Tea Party for the debt situation we had no hand in making, only to stand there silently, while a leader of the labor movement threatens us with his heated rhetoric.

This will not intimidate us. This will only make us work harder to take back our government. Now is the time for we conservatives, the libertarian-minded fiscal conservatives, the religiously-minded conservatives, the national-security minded conservatives, and just plain old patriotic, constitutionally-minded conservatives, to unite and throw these people out of Washington in November 2012.

Lesseeeee...we have Local .308, Local .357, Local .223, Local .44, and Local .454. Any others I might have missed?

I visited the union website and found no sure way to post a message to the sorry POS union hierarchy. I'm not surprised,I was in the United Assn.of Plumbers & Pipe fitters for several years and you could never contact anyone above the local level without a warrant.

Union thugs are mostly public sector parasites.

OK, it is war.

Fire all of these scumbags and outsource everything.

[ReneeLynn]

And they blamed Sarah for Gabriel Giffords. WHAT’S the excuse for this thug? Eh, MSM?

[ejonesie22]

Have you seen Hoffa?

Better make it 10....

[Jack Hydrazine]

The TEA Party declared war on Mittens The Cat????

[penelopesire]

I hear you..but in all honesty..the war was just declared by Obama and his goons on the American people. Your declarations of some sort of cease fire are premature.

I guess you won’t be found at the front lines....go figure.

[Dick Vomer]

That's neat. He wants a "war" and so do the union thugs.

Kewl

this is what my kids play with, when they play "war". It'd just be airsoft.

So we should just get together at your next union rally. We will play capture the flag or attack/defend and just have fun.

remember..... Curved side points awaaaaayyyyyy. Read the outside. Hahahahaha. This is gonna be fun. I can hardly wait. ....... Really

[3Fingas]

Well, I am glad that both you and your prodigious man-cave dwelling friend are on our side. :-)

[SERKIT]

According to WaPo, some in the TEA Party declared war on Mittens.

“I would because I believe it,” he said. “They’ve declared war on us. We didn’t declare war on them, they declared war on us. We’re fighting back. The question is, who started the war?” Open, direct threat with confirmation. We declared war on them? Liberals have given me extreme problems since the first day I began working in the workforce and haven't let up. No, THEY started it. Hello FBI? Uh, yeah...that's what we thought. Go ahead Hoffa and all of the Hoffa wannabees....keep pushing it, please. Just keep pushing...

[Jack Hydrazine]

I thought Leftists were anti-war! LOL!

[penelopesire]

I wasn’t referring to you dear..i was referring to carling or whatever his name is. I know how this story hit the internet..been sitting her waiting on the inferno for hours!

[RitchieAprile]

Its right out of the Alinsky playbook. Young Hoffa was well schooled in the arts of union ‘leadership’. He knows that
nothing is too illegal to try in order to get some TP people
to lay an arm on, or draw or display a weapon. And when that happens a ‘journalist’ just happens to be ready to record the proceedings.

They sound like buffoons, but, they’re not. Gotta be situationally aware.

[pallis]

Hoffa is a terrorist. Union thugs who follow him are terrorists.
