White House Declines Comment On Union Leader’s Anti-Tea Party Rhetoric At Labor Day Rally
ABC NEWS ^ | Sep 5, 2011 6:59pm | Mary Bruce

Despite President Obama’s repeated claims to change the tone in Washington, the White House has no comment this afternoon on incendiary statements made by a union leader who spoke before the president at today’s Labor Day rally. Warming up the crowd before President Obama’s speech in Detroit this afternoon, Teamsters President Jimmy Hoffa, Jr. warned the largely-union crowd that the Tea Party was waging a “war on workers” and said that, come November, they should “take these sons of bitches out.” “We got to keep an eye on the battle that we face: The war on workers. And you see it everywhere, it is the Tea Party. And you know, there is only one way to beat and win that war. The one thing about working people is we like a good fight. And you know what? They’ve got a war, they got a war with us and there’s only going to be one winner. It’s going to be the workers of Michigan, and America. We’re going to win that war,” Hoffa told thousands of workers gathered for the annual event organized by the Detroit Labor Council. “President Obama, this is your army. We are ready to march… Let’s take these sons of bitches out and give America back to an America where we belong,” he concluded.

Please post this again tomorrow so I can call.Ping me please I don’t want to forget.Obama is slick because my first thought is none of the GOP should show for his speech but then Obama will use the picture of the empty seats as his only campaign besides inciting race and class war and cheating with ACORN,moveon.org.Obama will never in a thousand years apologize.So the GOP shows for his speech but they don’t need to stand and applaud the arrogant SOB they should all scream YOU’RE A LIAR and make history showing they had nads.

The anger over this statement by Hoffa and the approval by the white house be dealt with. We all know what "take them out" means.....what euphemism will the white house settle on to define down the clear meaning of this phrase?

What will they take us to IHOP for breakfast....will they ask us out on a date?.....they are already at work on the redefinition of this phrase.

They think we are stupid in every statement they make. Their powers of perception have always guided them....they have been repeatedly affirmed because no one ever challenges him. Now the Tea Party steps up and defines them....and bada-bing-badda-bang....the emperor has no clothes.

I am SOOOO happy this happened. It will overshadow the DUMBASS POTUS’ speach on Thursday and makes this the topic. Awesome.

My thoughts exactly. Poor 0dumb0, goes to Detroit to make a campaign speech (masked as a piece of crap jobs speech), in a socialist, demoRAT, decrepid, decaying, bunch of human feces city of Detroit, and now Hoffa's comments are going to upstage the kenyan communist. It's going to overshadow 0dumb0's imaginary jobs programs. I bet that the WH is working overtime tonight with Hoffa & his thugs to try & figure out how to do damage control on this. Too late 0dumb0! Hoffa already let the cats out with his threatening remarks!

Their silence says it all and labels Obama and his entire admin as the liars and hypocrits they are.

Fine. The patriotic people of this country put down fascism and thugs like Hoffa and these othes once. We can do it again.

2012 is coming and we are going to double down on 2010 despite the Hiffas, Maxine Waters, Joe Bidens, Holders, and Obama’s and their actions to the contrary.
