Jimmy Hoffa promises “war” against Republicans:.
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? Theyve got a war, they got a war with us and theres only going to be one winner.
It was at an Obama event, no less.
Its going to be the workers of Michigan, and America. Were going to win that war,” Jimmy Hoffa said to a heavily union crowd.”President Obama, this is your army. We are ready to march. Lets take these son of bitches out and give America back to an America where we belong,” Hoffa added.
OK, all you libs who feigned (good lord, I hope it was feigned) outrage over the non-existant threats from the Tea Party (or the occasional rant from insignificant unknown alleged Tea Partiers) and Sarah Palin’s out-of-context crosshairs; this is one of the leaders of your mainstream.
Allahpundit notes that on the one hand, it’s just stupid trash talk, the kind of thing Teamsters leaders (named Hoffa) always do with their rank and file around. But…
…so filthy was the the left’s demagoguery of the right’s “tone” after the Giffords shooting that this sort of verbal excess by one of their own will never, ever be allowed to pass again without their faces being ground in it. So here you go. Start grinding, please.
So whatdya say, lefties? After the Giffords shooting, you all ran blubbering into the streets with the victorian vapours over Palin’s “crosshairs” map, and her “I’m reloading” remarks.
I’m sure you’ll leap to condemn this, right?
Or is it “war” you want?
Because I know that word doesn’t mean what you think it means.
I am truly perplexed that Jimmy, Jr. is still involved with the union thugs that are most likely responsible for the disappearance and probable death of his old man. I guess that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. That said, I had some pretty interesting debates with several of my brother’s union buddies on Saturday. I found that they are starting to question their union’s (IBEW) alliance to DemocRATs, but were still on the fence. Since they are all hunters and fisherman, I showed them the piece about what Fast and Furious was about, as well as the efforts by the dear leader, Hillary Clinton and the rest of their minions to sign the US into the UN Small Arms Treaty and other gun grabbing legislation that they were blissfully unaware of. I am 99% sure that thye are paying attention now! I also told them to spread the word to their union bretheren.
Working people may very well love a good fight. The numbers, however, show they don’t care much for being in a union.
Response by the left to violent rhetoric from the left? —
The last word of above is crickets
The Left will not respond to violent imagery used by the Left. They will, however, write articles about how mean and aggressive Michele Bachmann’s security team is, as if there were no reason to behave that way even as another Congresswoman recovers from being shot in the head.
The AFL-CIO building at the state fair had a large sign calling for the confiscation of property of “the wealthy”. They also had a booth there promoting their “blue-green alliance”. What this alliance does is allign union dolts with the enviromentalist wackos who want to end mining, logging, coal fired plants, etc. I sometimes think unionists aren’t the brightest people in the world.
Media Matters is feeding Lefty web sites & pundits the spin that Hoffa was talking about voting people out of office. Here’s the entire quote. You decide:

The word “war” is mentioned five times, the word “vote” is mentioned a single time, literally elliptically.
Chuck, I have a neighbor who’s a construction worker and big union booster. And a Democrat. He was ranting one night about how the Democrats were the only ones who were for improving the infrastructure of the country.
Well, he was ranting until I asked him, “You like to claim the Interstate Highway system is the best thing the Federal government did to help the economy. Do you think we could get the Environmental Impact Statement approval to build that today?”
nerdbert; I’ll bet he was speechless after that! We all know that you confuse liberals when you throw out educated statements and facts! Nicely done!
Beware of talk about “infrastructure” spending. Any dedicated infrastructure spending is bound to become a slush fund for pol’s on the left and right to pay off constituencies without democratic oversight.
