WHITE HOUSE: Obama Is Not Going to 'Serve as the Speech Police for the Democratic Party'
FoxNation.com ^ | Sept 7 | Staff

A top aide to President Obama says Americans must decide for themselves how to be civil with each other -- a rather sharp departure from comments that Obama has himself made in the past. In an interview with the WMAL Morning Majority Wednesday, White House Communications Director Dan Pfeiffer said the Obama administration is not going to be drawn into the "gotcha game" of reacting to comments made by Teamsters President James Hoffa, Jr. At a Labor Day rally in Detroit, Hoffa urged the President to use unions as his army to fight back against the Tea Party and "take these son-of-a-bitches out." Pfeiffer told WMAL that President Obama is not going to "serve as the speech police for the Democratic party."

At the same time if any of us were to use the same language ABOUT OBAMA using Jimmy Hoffa's words, the Secret Service would pick us up.

I suggest Speaker Boehner may want to send his guards over to visit Hoffa anyway.

Oh! That’s a new one. Dems use ‘Mispoke’ for lies and now will use I’m not with the “speech police’ for when they can’t hide their obvious malevolent nature.

But of course ‘accusations’ of anyone who disagrees with them will always be their game, ie ‘racist’ or ‘hate speech’.

The WH and the rats have put themselves in a box. The Hoffa episode will be resurrected in the future whenever the rats go into high dungeon over any comments from the right.

Trying to saw off the baleful influence of Hoffa’s thinly veiled talk of warfare.

I wonder if it would be wiser to let no president run for re-election while he/she is president (a run would be permitted for a future term, however). That way candidates can’t hide behind their office.

Pfeiffer told WMAL that President Obama is not going to "serve as the speech police for the Democratic party."

If I'm not mistaken, Pfeiffer just publicly admitted that the Teamsters are part of the Democrat party. Anyone want to forward that info off to the FEC?
