Hoffa: “No Regrets” Over Speech Calling For Violence Against Conservatives, This Is a “War”…
Weasel Zippers ^ | 9/5/11 | Zip

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?”

They better not try that taking out crap down south.

Whatever. Look around, the South is burning and obama denied federal funds. Texans are taking care of each other while 25% of Texas, a really big state, is on fire. The green part.

They started the war by winning at the ballot box, instead of losing, so now we’ve gotta use violence.

Exactly. And BTW: Why doesn’t Hoffa explain to the Teamsters how they are out of work because illegals are taking their jobs? You know, the illegals that Obama and DEMOCRATS want to give amnesty to? The illegals that Eric Holder sued Arizona about so they could stay? This guy is a real trip.

.a provocation to entice some unstable Tea Partier to commit an act of violence against someone perceived as a political agonist of the president. From there they could confabulate all sorts of fiction regarding the conservatives

Obama prays every night to Satan for guidance to help provoke some Tea Party folks commit violence against leftists. The evil left is getting more brazen with their taunts.

Above all, we must NEVER be the ones to take up violence (first). Tea Party Patriots love this Republic and most are aware of the tactics of the evil left.

One thing is certain, Obama is desperate and hateful. His people will definitely take up violence against us. It's only a matter of time.

I pray our side is strong enough to hold off reacting until such time that most American's clearly see the evil left as the instigators.

WHEN did he say “at the ballot box”? He NEVER said, “at the ballot box”! Calling a labor union the President’s “Army”, saying “workers like a good fight”, referring to this as “war”, and now he wants to pretend he was talking about ballot boxes and voting? Ridiculous...

That’s what gets me... Don’t the union leaders even realize that probably close to HALF of their members, if not more, do NOT support their agendas? That folks don’t have a CHOICE of whether to pay their hard earned income in dues, and if they did they would find their coffers empty?

(PS - I’m the wife of a former member of IAM 113 here.)

Freaking amazing isn’t it? My husband recalled today the union guys showing up at his shop in the late 80s/early 90s in designer suits, Italian Leather shoes, and silk ties... Talk about “out of touch”, and then they claim to understand the problems of workers? What a joke!

This election year will end in bloodshed. It will end in the burning of many houses and buildings. There will be riots in the streets. IT will come from the lefties - it will come from the peace nickers - they will riot and burn and kill. If Obama loses then it will be 10 times worse. None of this will end well for America. Obama knows EXACTLY what he is doing - Maxine Waters knows EXACTLY what she is doing. They ARE ALL trying to start a war against working people.

Pretty brazen statement considering his oppostion is better armed (quality and quantity). Might be a good time for all Freepers to make some extra visits to the range.

"“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?”.

Even trying to give him a break on the rhetoric front, he has gone into the abyss with his repeated remarks.

I also tend to think he is a socialpath. No one has declared war on him and his liberal ilk. The TEA party simply wants debate responsible government that will live within its means. How that is declaring war is beyond me. Well, not really, the socialist want all they can get.

The above said, if the mainstream Republicans had any balls, this would be a killer PR coup. But of course, they will blow this opportunity, also. Any wonder why we're looking at Palin, West, Cain, and maybe Perry?
