You Decide: Did Teamsters President Jimmy Hoffa Go Too Far? (Time to vote)

Teamsters President Jimmy Hoffa is under fire for his harsh words about the Tea Party. Hoffa told a crowd in Detroit that America faced "a war on workers, you see it everywhere -- it is the Tea Party," and urged the crowd to "take these son-of-a-bitches out." Hoffa made the comments while introducing President Obama. Did Hoffa cross the line with his heated rhetoric?

The Union’s(hence Obama’s) problem is the average blue collar person is, absence union obedience, on the side of the conservatives. This means they are potential Tea-Party
advocates.

Reagan won handily by winning over these types of guys. It terrifies the libs that they may decide to vote their gut instead of being a blind follower.

By having Teamsters Union boss Jimmy Hoffa Jr. speak for him and call his political opponents “son-of-a-bitches” that have to be “taken out”, Barack Obama has demonstrated that he is not fit to be President of the United States. I’ve got news for them: The United States is a great country because it is mostly made up of “son-of-a-bitches” like me, and we are not the ones who will be “taken out”. And let me emphasize that I mean that in “the nicest possible way”.

Yeah, but my guess is they weren’t the muscle. More likely the one’s defacing the walls of the capital with banners and such. Still one has to have suppoert from the asses, er masses to get away with knocking people around. I’ll me taking my 115 pound ridgeback with me to all outdoor teaparty events in the future.

Am I going too far if I say “So’s your old man, Jimmy!”?

“Not so much AFSCME or NEA union members, I can’t see a bunch of bureaucrats and teachers acting as thugs...but we’ll see. “

I guess you didn’t see the tv coverage of what has gone on in Wisconsin....

I'm glad for the warning. Now I am less likely to hesitate to use deadly force to defend myself is accosted by Union Thugs. The hesitation would have to be measured in milliseconds since there was not much there before the warning.

Texas is a "Right to Work", "Castle Law", and "CHL" state. Not a very target rich environment when it comes to Union Thugs but hey, there's always hope....

That’s fine. I hope they do vote GOP. They’re still pukes paying dues to commies.

Ridgebacks are amazing animals. I used to work with a woman who raised them.
