Trumka's 9/11 Message: "Extremist" Right-Wingers "Opened Door to Hate
Pundit Press ^ | 9/9/11 | Aurelius

Posted on 09/09/2011 10:05:16 AM PDT by therightliveswithus

...Instead, disgraced AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka uses September 11 as a jumping board in order to bash conservatives. At the beginning of his message, he devotes a few fleeting paragraphs on "opened doors," but then his rambling prose quickly devolves into a swamp of lies and hatred.

For example, if you talk to any conservative, he or she has endless respect for those who lost their lives on September 11, particularly those who rushed into buildings in order to help those in need. Not true, declares Trumka! Instead, he writes:

[D]espite our vows, the public servants, construction workers and others who lost their lives or still suffer with the cancerous remnants of the Twin Towers haven’t just been forgotten. They’ve been vilified. The extremist small government posse has turned them into public enemy No. 1...

Trumka later continues his insane blabbering, once again throwing out boogie men and lies:

Wealthy CEOs, anti-government extremist front groups and frothing talk show hosts—from the Rush Limbaughs and Glenn Becks to the Koch brothers, Karl Rove’s American Crossroads group, Americans for Prosperity, the Club for Growth, FreedomWorks and the American Legislative Exchange Council—also pushed open the door to hate.

We’ve seen the costs of hatred in ill-thought wars, in shameful attacks on immigrants and our LGBT neighbors. We saw it in the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. We saw it in the racism that has found overt and covert expression since Barack Obama began his run for office—from outright declarations of people who said out loud they would never vote for a black man.

Maybe he can name a person, event or statement when this took place.

Or... as I suspect, this is just ANOTHER Liberal generic broadside at Conservatism.

When Conservatives challenge the Liberal hate speech, etc., we KNOW who said/did WHAT and WHEN.

Push the unions buttons harder. We want them to be foaming at the mouth, loony tunes, paranoid freak outs.

We want everyone to see Obama’s army.

This is coming from a union thug whose hateful rhetoric led to the murder of a man in the early 1990s.

Trumka's language is shameful, disgusting and deadly dangerous, should anyone take seriously what this obscene little bully has to say.

For him to abuse the occasion of the 10th anniversary of an act of war that killed thousands of innocent people to bash his political enemies is beneath contempt, and also an insult to the memory of the dead.

Doing something, and then blaming it on your enemy is an old commie trick, one the left has been using for years, so long that most halfwitted leftists believe their own slander. Union thugs and their commie enablers in the Democratic Party have been playing the hate and violence game so long they think everyone is the same.

Trumka continues:
...we also saw it in a mob rush of hundreds of workers who destroyed property, kidnapped people, help security personnel as hostages and got away without a single arrest or MSM coverage ...

oh wait, never mind.

When we get the Senate and Presidency the first order of business should be repeal Obamacare but equally important is to disband all Unions from the Federal Government.

Trumka and obama’s army is nothing more than obama’s version of Ernst Rohm.

Hey, Trumka - remember what happened to Ernst Röhm? I bet you don't. We do. Keep it up. For you and those like you, it's going to be June 30, 1934 all over again.

Right. Liberal hate speech and worse is either NOT mentioned at all ... or worse, it is rationalized so maladroitly that not even a child would accept the logic with a straight face.

Remember when the left accused the Bush DHS of having terror alerts in order to divert attention from other issues?

The left is so stupid they don’t even know they’re giving away their whole playbook every time they open their mouths.

Not the first time ...While this may have been 40 years ago, I have no doubt today's union scum would do it again - and worse.

Now we know this campaign of slander is being orchestrated by Obama himself..., not that we had much doubt before.

The Wobblies:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_Workers_of_the_World

Chicago
Minnesota
Washington State — Note the Everett ‘massacre’ and general strike. Dockworkers again.

I used to know someone whose parents were familiar with the goings on of the Wobblies. Decades later, no one talked about details of anything. Many secrets were buried with the people of that generation. Even here, I carefully reword certain phrases, and all I know is that I had a 30 second exchange with that person about cursory generalizations, at the same time that I read up on the ghastly tale of Frances Farmer.
