Politics Turns Dangerously Rougher A Commentary By Tony Blankley

Whether Hoffa's words are criminal or not, with words like "terrorist," "lynching," "go to hell," and "take them out," the emerging tone of the Democratic Party regarding the Tea Party is ominous. It is the language of murderous violence, and it is targeted at a specific group of people. Most disturbing is the failure of the Democratic Party leaders to condemn such language -- including Chairman of the Democratic National Committee Debbie Wasserman Schultz -- who on national television specifically and repeatedly evaded any comment on Hoffa's statement. No president or other party leader can be held responsible for the utterances of all his political colleagues, nor can he or she be expected to respond to every intemperate word. But when the words are by other party leaders themselves and are nationally reported, a moral obligation arises to condemn such language.

“Most disturbing is the failure of the Democratic Party leaders to condemn such language “

Maybe it’s their plan?

I think they’d love to see a mob of 500 union thugs take apart some guy who they thought was a TEA Party member. They WANT violent mob action, it seems to be a necessary part of Progressivism.

Personally, frothing-at-the-mouth Democrat hatred is good news. That much passion cannot, by it’s very nature, be a steady state condition. It can only lead to ditches filled with bodies. Always has. Pity the Dems aren’t bright enough to make such an obvious connection.

Every great "revolution" needs their "Knight of the Long Knives" to solidly push their leaders into power!

When one of these "flash mobs" run into a person or group of persons who are sufficiently armed, and willing to defend themselves, you will see the Obama Administration come down on ALL gun owners and I believe they will do so with great vengence and much malice! They will do this to scare all of those who do not willing submit to the new rules and limits!

I couldn't disagree more. What would a "don't do that" do? Nothing. Let them speak their minds. This is politics. This isn't a friendly game of cards. This isn't even college football. This is about power. They want it. They want it over you.

Hoffa's speaking the truth of what he thinks. It's what I'd expect from an old school Detroit union boss.

Politics isn't nice, and it's time we stop being nice and do what Hoffa says and take out the sons of bitches. Like the SEIU.

"I think they’d love to see a mob of 500 union thugs take apart some guy who they thought was a TEA Party member."

I think it may have started the night of Hoffa's rant. Half-asleep, but I thought a trucker with Tea Party stickers on his truck who called the nationwide "Midnight Trucker" show said other truckers had tried to run him off the road twice already that night. Any other Freeper hear that?

Look at their disgusting performance historically -- a lot of people think Sacco and Vanzetti were innocent, because of LeftMedia lying. People still think Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were "innocent" and Joe McCarthy was a monster -- which is 180o out from the truth, as verified by the Venona Papers.

Vince Foster might have been talking about the LeftMedia when he wrote in his suicide note about shameless presstitutes who "lie without consequence".

I think you're right, that they came to office planning a "Reichstag Fire" ploy to try to take out the Second Amendment, because they knew they couldn't run a coup d'etat against an armed People -- insert Yamamoto quote here about blades of grass.

"Gunwalker" was apparently a first-pass attempt, that might still bite them if the GOP gets the necessary Senate majority that would convict Obama of "high crimes and misdemeanors". The presstitutes are sitting on the story for now, protecting Obama and Holder. I think the House should impeach Holder despite his having a Senate majority. Make the senatorial Dems defend Holder the way they did The Rapist.

The President’s Army has declared war on the Tea Party. Take note.

If you have a permit to carry concealed, use it. Always.

Think about next summer, when the Tea Party will (most likely) again hold mass rallies prior to the Big Day in November. Now add a few buses full of union thugs carrying baseball bats.

Anybody else see a problem here?

Funny how Trumpka and Hoffa look so much alike.

The prominent, neanderthal forehead.

The piggy little eyes.

The potato-like, bulbous nose.

The flapping jowls, the bloated face.

Do you think that when Hoffa was talking about sons of b*tches, he meant Trumpka, and maybe they're brothers with sluts for mothers? Hoffa senior may have known Mrs. Trumpka really well...

Ain't it the truth. Seems like the GOP is reading the Marquess of Queensbury rules to a bunch of libDem thugs while they're busily kicking us in the nuts.
