Will Barack Obama condemn Biden and Hoffa for calling Republicans 'barbarians' and 'SOBs'
The London Daily Telegraph ^ | September 5, 2011 | Toby Harnden, US Editor

Posted on 09/06/2011 8:29:15 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

I enjoy political hardball as much as the next reporter. It’s barely concealed truth that campaign journalists, like the operatives we cover, love negative campaigning and revel in OTT insults and martial rhetoric. Even candidates often lapse into the language of “rip his throat out”, “tear his eyes out” or “drive a stake through her heart”.

It’s no secret either that many Republicans despise Democrats with a passion and vice versa. Just as British MPs hide their contempt of their opponents by referring to them as “the honourable member’, American politicians have their own, albeit less formal, ways of masking their true feelings with anodyne language for public consumption.

But the statements today by Jimmy Hoffa Jr and Vice President Joe Biden demean the presidency and, tactically speaking, are stupid own goals.

Hoffa, the Teamsters president, was warming up a Detroit crowd when he said: “President Obama, this is your army, and we are ready to march. Everybody here’s got a vote. If we go back, and we keep the eye on the prize, let’s take these son of a bitches out and give America back to America where we belong.”

Biden, whose mouth has long been a liability for Obama, was at an AFL-CIO rally when he told union members: “You are the only folks keeping the barbarians from the gates…the other side has declared war on labour’s house.”

These comments were not nearly as bad as the statement last week by Congressman Andre Carson....

When you have a guy whose father was a Mafia made man and he himself is just another union goon, and he says he's going to "take out" someone, he must be taken at his word ~ that's what he means ~ that's what he intends to do.

It's enough for a RICO conviction, so keep that in mind for early February 2013.

As I've been forced to remind folks many times before Joe Biden has had brain surgery 3 times unsuccessfully.

With this, we have to wonder if the sutures have come loose.

Boenher should make Obama’s Thursday night address contingent upon Obama publicly repudiating Hoffa’s incitement to violence.

Someone approached president Calvin `Silent Cal’ Coolidge and told him he had a bet that he could make the president say more than three words.
Coolidge’s response?
“You lose.”

The best advice anyone could give putative president 0bama?
“Quit digging.”

I think the closest “normal people” get to a Teamster is the UPS delivery guy. I plan to respectfully have a talk with the driver the next time he makes a delivery to let him know my opinion of Hoffa’s speech. I think we all should.

If I’m feel particularly P.O.ed that day, I might even have an AR broken down on the picnic table being cleaned.

Just sayin’.

“It’s no secret either that many Republicans despise Democrats with a passion and vice versa.”

No you have this wrong we do not despise all democrats we despise the communist democrats that have taken over Washington..they use the others as slaves since none of the others care one way or the other what the Communist in the white house is doing as long as he is black..

As for Obama condemning anyone like Biden or the others didn't you know the memos go out every morning from inside the oval office telling these morons what to say..They just look up new words and deffinitons every morning to paste on anyone other than their ignorant selves..As for Barbarian I think they have it wrong since that is what they actually are and have been called many times..I think they just looked it up one day after being called that and said hey yeah that is the word we will attach on to the Conservatives..

I think it is really funny since the word fits them to a tee..

Barbarian:1. a person in a savage, primitive state; uncivilized person. 2. a person without culture, refinement, or education;,,

The good news is Union workers will do a crap job building the concentration camps ( oops, reeducation camps) they want to send us to...it'll be easy to break out...

“The hoffa mofo-pansy has NO IDEA of what he is desirous of in his declaration of war.”

This mofo-pansy, along with his limp-wristed messiah, will be hunkered down in some safe bunker, servicing each other, while their lemmings fight any “battle.”

We got the Black pansies training children to fight in their race war against whites. mexicans threatening war to take vack land lost in the war with mexico. Frigging Muslims threatening war and revolution against the USA and now union thugs threatening to take the SOBs (us) out.

I just wish somebody would stop the talk and just get it on, after we make an example of one of these groups we should have no more problems from the rest.

No matter how you dissect Hoffa's entire speech, his message to his Teamster thugs, and all union thugs, was loud and clear.
This is a War and we have an Army. We will physically 'Take Out By Force' all Republican opponents, voters, and their supporters -- Tea Party member or not.
We saw what SEIU goons did at Town Hall Meetings. Hoffa has now thrown down the gauntlet and issued a FATWA.

Okay 'Jr', I guess it's time to finally Lock and Load. Then 'your Army' can 'Meet My Little Friend'.
