The media was just as commie then as now.

You know the looney Left is getting more desperate when they start pulling out spokespeople like the Hoffa thug.
Its a vast right wing conspiracy!!
The SDS/Weather Underground/Jane Fonda protests WERE PRO-Communist riots.
The government DOES need to be kept in check and the welfare state has NOT improved lives, it has created a dependency class that subsists on the federal teat for generations.
Kind of like unions being one and the same as the mafia, right Junior?
Hoffa and Mao-Tse Tung are almost the same person.
Except one was a China-man.
James Hoffa is being an extremist.
No Gates or Soros or Streisand or Winfrey or...
FUJH.
Jimmuh H. and the steaming pile my dog left behind are one and the same.
Wow these left wing nuts still think it’s a good thing to insult the Tea Party? Who does that get excited except for the voters on KOS and DU and the media? I mean, how many elections and candidates do the Tea Party have to win/elect before these idiots realize it’s not a good thing to provoke them?
Grass Roots for the win!!
And the American Labor Movement and Communism are one and the same.
Do they really think these ridiculous attacks will stick?
In 2005, Hoffa led the Teamsters out of the AFL-CIO and into the more radical breakaway labor federation, the SEIU-endorsed Change to Win coalition. During the years leading up to that split, the AFL-CIO had become increasingly radical. Then-president John Sweeney, a member of the neo-communist group Democratic Socialists of America, had rescinded a longstanding rule preventing Communist Party members from holding leadership positions within the federation and the unions belonging to it.
Sweeney had also instituted the “Union Summer” training program which required its young participants to regurgitate Marxist boilerplate “that we produce the world’s wealth, that we belong to the only class with a future, that our class will end all oppression.” But none of this was radical enough for Hoffa, who also criticized the AFL-CIO for being insufficiently aggressive in recruiting new members. “In our view, we must have more union members in order to change the political climate that is undermining workers’ rights in this country,” said Hoffa. “The AFL-CIO has chosen the opposite approach.”
By Hoffa’s reckoning, “Wall Street’s greed, stupidity and fraud” was chiefly responsible for creating America’s economic crisis of 2008. In the fall of 2011 Hoffa strongly supported the Occupy Wall Street movement, which excoriated the financial sector as irredeemably corrupt, and he boasted that Teamsters members “all over the country are participating in Occupy Wall Street events.”
When introducing President Barack Obama at a Labor Day rally in 2011, Hoffa shouted, “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.” “Let’s take these son[s] of bitches out and give America back to an America where we belong,” he added. After the event, Hoffa told ABC News that conservatives and Tea Party activists “want to roll the clock back to about 1900.”
When Wisconsin voters in 2011 gave their Republican governor Scott Walker a clear mandate to cut public spending, Hoffa lashed out. In February 2011 he characterized Walker’s modest proposal that state workers shoulder a small percentage of the costs for their healthcare plans and pensions as “a vindictive attack” that was part of a “union-busting” campaign and a “one-sided class war.”

Hoffa is a moron. More proof he is where he is strictly because of his last name, not because of brains.
Well, here’s the problem with Hoffa making such comments:
Most people under the age of, oh, 55 to 60, have NO idea who the JBS was in American politics in the pre 1970’s era.
He might as well be talking about martians in US politics. Younger voters, especially liberals, will be saying “Huh? What?”
As opposed to liberals who sanction every one.
I met James Hoffa at meet the candidate. He was charging 25 dollars for a picture with him. Fundraising? Whose fund?
It is not extreme to believe in, protect, and defend the U.S. Constitution.
Somewhere in America there is a cement foundation being poured that could serve two purposes.
Jimmy Hoffa Jr had these words at an Obama campaign rally:
“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,” Jimmy Hoffa Jr. said to a heavily union crowd.
“President Obama, this is your army. We are ready to march. Let’s take these son of bitches out and give America back to an America where we belong,” Hoffa added.
