Via Breitbart TV, this is Labor Day the way it should be — with a guy named Hoffa threatening his political enemies while a union-stooge Democratic leader sits by and smiles. Honestly, I can’t decide how seriously to take him. On the one hand, this sort of salty tough-guy “we don’t take sh*t from no one” garbage is par for the course for labor leaders when addressing the rank and file, and all the more so when it’s the head of the Teamsters speaking. Sure, he makes $300,000 a year on the backs of his working-class constituents, but he knows conservatives are sons of bitches so his “authenticity” is secure. Plus he’s a Hoffa; this sort of rhetoric may be congenital. On the other hand, 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.
A Twitter pal argued that this could have been a “Sistah Souljah moment” for Obama if he had challenged Hoffa on what he said. Interesting point, but I think O had other priorities today — like, for instance, noting how “proud” he is of Hoffa and other union leaders. Oh, and also questioning the patriotism of congressional Republicans who might object to his new jobs plan. That’s the second clip below, which doubles as a sneak preview of Thursday night. How rude it was of Boehner in hindsight to ask Obama to wait a day before accusing them of not caring about America on national television. Happy Labor Day, everyone.

Hit ‘em while they’re on break!
Declaring war on the 80% of the American population who is not in any union, nor wants to be seems to be a losing position IMO.
Hoffa may be a "tough guy" and have a bunch of thugs surrounding him, but when it comes to a "war".....he cannot win.... I don't even think the threat of violence will help him, since I am reasonably sure that there are many in the Tea Party, while not stooping to violence, would not hesitate to confront violence if it were thrust upon them.
Mr Hoffa needs to pay more attention to the old adage:...you need to watch what you wish for...it may just come true!
This Hoffa better remember that history CAN repeat itself...I’m sure there will be other football stadiums built in the coming years.
If you ever wanted to know what communism in America would look like, all you have to do is imagine the whole country run by the leadership of the Teamsters Union and the Mafia.
(Or is that redundant?)
We need to have a few stand back and wait till they leave. Then follow them and catch them alone and beat the livin effn hell out of them.
Kinda like we did around here when the some of the Union goons decided to picket outside a mill managers house. We found them, and they all needed dental care after. Not ONE WORD was said. But, I tell you this friend, it hit home to the rest.
Bring it on, you pathetic, parasitic, cheeseball!
The POS Hoffa Jr. needs to find a resting place next to his dad.
FUJHJ
FUBO
Hoffa needs to disappear like his ancestor.
But you need to have common sense also, as well as class because we are dealing here with “union thugs” who are spoiling for a fight.
True they want violence in the streets and we want a violent overthrow at the ballot box. They are emotional and not logic driven we have to be principled logical and resolute. Dems tell you what they are worried about.They are scared to death of the TP and Sarah has them unable to sleep at night. Sarah whether she runs or not is going to continue to be a voice for liberty and drive them nuts and encourage others along the way.
Jimmy Hoffa is a cornerstone of our Teamsters Union.
Chevy Chase joking about where Jimmy Hoffa is buried on "Weekend Update."
And bring video cameras.
Union businesses are like a tumor; they are sponsoring a move toward tyranny in this country.
We need to starve the tumor; identify businesses that are union and boycott.
FedEx is a non-union shipper; UPS is union.
Gibson is a non-union guitar maker; many others are union.
Michigan unemployment - July = 10.9%
Detroit-Livonia-Dearborn (BLS) unemployment - May = 15.7%
Black unemployment Detroit - July =16.7%
And he has the nerve to give a Jobs Speech, on Labor Day, in Detroit, MI?
He’s Done.
Hey Jimmy Jr., that's not exactly what Russell Bufalino said to Frank Sheeran.
But it's pretty close.
It is time to deal with these thugs by the power of Blood and Iron.
