Hoffa Threatens GOP At Obama Event: "Take These Son Of Bitches Out"

Making friends and influencing people for the cause. How many union members are also TEA partiers, how many know one, how many sympathise? These meetings aren't closed occasions nowadays -- it's not like it used to be when a few news outlets controlled what was shared with the world.

Teamsters President Jimmy Hoffa had some profane, combative words for Republicans while warming up the crowd for President Obama in Detroit, Michigan on Monday.

"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.

Obama addressed the crowd shortly after Hoffa.

#1 I doubt most rank and file Teamsters are as dim as the SEIU crowd. But if things get too serious, and either union tries to bust up a Tea Party crowd like they were scabs, they will soon find that Tea Partiers have both cameras and guns.

#2 I'm pretty sure the slavers had opined about the same concerning the original Abolitionists.

#3 yeah, but you'll have to wait for the next DOJ team to prosecute them.

#4 Why haven't you posted the article in which Dear Leader condemns such uncivil language?

#7 I have not heard any such divisive/abusive/violence- inciting remarks from the Tea Party or Republicans. However, we have been hearing of lot of this sort of thing from the labor unions and Democratic Party regularly. So much for the lack of civility Obama lectured and scolded about. I guess he meant any Republicans or anyone else who opposed his policies and dictates.

#9 "That 68 year-old man holding a Gadsden flag -- we're sending him to the hospital. That 23 year old secretary who protested against Obamacare -- fist city, baby! 'Cause we're such big, tough union guys that the law doesn't apply to us except when we hide behind it. And hey, it takes a special kind of guy to inherit a union."

#10 They really don't want to provoke us. Not unless they want to be dead. You keep on your side of the protest line and we'll stay on ours. It will work better that way.

#11 Actiually, they are the ones who fear death. That's why the language. It's their final argument, fear. After Wisconsin, they know the Wagner Act will be in play in a Perry administration. So long dead weight.

#12 nota bene:
I belong to a local government technical union - required by my job (which I love and I think I'm pretty good at?). That said, I will defend to the death against this Teamsters/SEIU/Obama union thuggery. I don't pay for the union PAC and I would quit if given the chance. Not all union members are bad - most of them are restricted by workplace rules - but some are, and if it takes pick handles in the streets, I'm there :-)

#13 I'm in the same boat as Frank G. If my union should solicit my attendance at a rally, they may be, er, "disappointed" at which side of the police line I'll be on.....

#14 We're not allowed to strike (and most I know would not), which DOES avoid the embarrassment of poor turnout

#15 Typical deal with these Leftist/union thugs. Demonize and isolate the enemies. Dehumanize them. Oh, no, never get into a debate where they could lose on the merits of their arguments.

#16 I was reading an article from the NYT, Sept. 7, 1885, which included the line, "Threats that had the color of Kuklux tactics were freely made."
This country hasn't changed all that much.

#18 Will the Net's infamous "VINNY DA BIRD" accept eating SOLYENT MARINARA imported from the Moon + Rigel Colony???
