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?”

Hoffa was unleashed by the Obama people. I believe this was a deliberate attempt to incite violence....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. Look at the past week. We have seen statements from Waters, Andre Carson’s statement regarding tea partiers hanging people from a tree, and another black congresswoman involking the tea party to go to hell, and other comments. This is a strategy which the DNC have framed for political advantage. It rivals an attempt to incite a riot and should be examined by law enforcement agencies.

Bring it, Hoffa, to Texas. Either put up, or shut up.

We started it? The bad words came from our mouths? We're the violent ones?

Very good point. Many on here are inviting him to start it if he feels that way.

Well... that was a stupid comment.

What frontlines, premature warrior?

What just happened was that a union idiot popped off. Looks like some people want to rise to the bait.

He didn’t fire a weapon at you. He just had some terrible, inflammatory rhetoric.

Man ... I sure want soldiers like YOU on my side.... you know ... ones that think some stupid, a-hole union guy represents most Americans and his dumb@$$ words are a real threat that requires a lead remedy?

Front lines of what? Sanity? Well... you’ll find me there. If we ever have a real civil war here ... no .... I won’t be on the front lines. I’m a 41 year old female. I’ll be guarding a perimeter because I’m a good shot.

If you’re itching for some kind of conflict ... go find it ... in the meantime ... some fool shot off his mouth.

"Why did you post busted links from Media Matters?"

??? If you look at the two links, you will see that they are both the same but the first link had a stray ' at the end of the first link. Do you think I put it there on purpose? ???

And when I gave you the correct link, you post:

"I’m still wondering why you’re posting links to Media Matters. Are you funded by George Soros too?"

And why am I linking to Media Matters?

lol...because that's where the story was---accusing Fox of doctoring Hoffa's speech.

Am I funded by George Soros?

Freepers who know my posts would find that question hysterical. And in case you might think that response evasive, the answer is NO

...I'm still chuckling.

You know, I don’t like the union SOB (ha ha), don’t like what he said - but I think it’s disingenuous demagoguery to state that it was a “call for violence against” us.

Well, since the Republican Olde Guard, next-old-fart-in-line process is endorsing Mittens, and the Drive-By Media says he is our candiate, and since the opposition always picks our candidates for us - and THEY have picked Mittens, I guess Mittens is they guy ALL Republicans need to vote for. Funny though - I expected Mittens to run against Mr. Soetoro in the Dem Primary, since Mittens is the better of the two liberal Dems.

The only question that remains to be answered is whether little Jimmy was “loning” it, or whether he was blubbering his fat lips under the direction of Obammie the Commie.

Another question I have is how many union members are aware they are part of a communist enterprise?

Not all unions are, but many.

These I call the “communionists.”
