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?”

Makes you wonder how Sen. Durbin and the ofhter democrap polititians are going to respond to this threat.

It’s a blog. Misquoting, as usual.

You sound like several members of my family. They take pride in their hard work and despise the money-grubbing, power-hungry "bosses".

No, Mr. Hoffa. American workers have met the enemy and the enemy is YOU!

[HiTech RedNeck]

Hoffa is begging for mutiny.

“Dear mr. Hoffa, FYI, I am a member of Local .308. If you want a fight, put your affairs in order.”

LOL

I’m in Local 357.

This jerk doesn’t know what war is. Organize, conservatives. Organize, Tea Party.

>>They better not try that taking out crap down south. CCW friendly, they will get hurt.

And despite being called thugs, scum, goons, and lazy by almost everyone on FR, most union members in the south will be firing at Hoffa and his yankee anti-American mobsters.

Does Hoffa mean his thugs should “take out” tea partiers as they go to vote?

Ping to article:

Looks like the author of this article (Evan McMorris-Santoro) is beginning the media clean-up of Hoffa’s remarks.

Meanwhile, not only is Hoffa not repentant (as if anyone thought he would be), but he is doubling down with some lies.

There is a new stadium being built somewhere awaiting Mr Hoffa’s presence in its foundation.

I used to tell myself “If they become brazen enough in their hatred of America and the middle class,people will see”.
I guess I was wrong, they seem to be winning by convincing the folks who pay no taxes that they are paying too many taxes and somehow deserve the money of everyone else.
I've seen a decent chunk of the world. If I had to be truly destitute and could chose a place to park my sorry butt it would be right here in the U.S.of A..
I believe if we don't gain control in the next election it is a done deal,the game is lost and it's time to hit reset and just start over.

Good thing they will have to have lots of coffee breaks while trying to stuff those boxes against the wrath of Americans who are sick and tired of Obama.

As if that fat arse little chicken sheet would have the nerve to come down to Dixie land and say that. I dare him.

Ain’t me- anyone that knows me knows my monitors aren’t that big!

[SERKIT]

I must have missed the memo. Here is a quick Google search, and I can't find the TEA (Taxed Enough Already) Party declaring war on anyone except a slight spin saying they declared war on Mittens.....
