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.

You have no idea what you’re posting. If you don’t listen to his show, how do you know what he is saying?

Bull Meister, if anything happens to a TEA Partier, a Republican or a Conservative, YOU OWN it.

If there is any violence, any Voter Fraud, or any type of intimidation, YOU OWN it.

Enuff said.

Or do the lessons of Tucson only apply to Republicans? Apparently those using incendiary rhetoric in support of liberal causes get an exemption from the lessons of Tucson.

I think that was clear from the very day of the shooting, to say nothing of the last fifty years.

I believe “Bull Meister” is a reference to Presn’t Zero.

Hey, Bull Meister is the President not you.

Enough said. Do your research more carefully before you declare war on a fellow Freeper.

“I am thinking some trash needs taking out.”

Tsk, tsk fellow Freeper.

You obviously don't do any simple research before you run to Mommy for help. Some Freepers are real disappointments. Oh well, we shan't be communicating after this post. You are forgiven. Below is a link showing my use of "Bull Meister". (Shaking head at you in disappointment.)

Obama instigated this attitude from the beginning with “if they bring a knife, we bring a gun” and “get in their faces”. The rhetoric from this WH against the country’s own people is dangerous, and feeds the anger and ignorance of the flash mob mentality.

A “war on workers” Mr. Hoffa? That sounds like the NLRB’s marching orders.

SILENCE IS CONSENT...

You hit the nail right on the head!

Does anyone find it suprising that the left is using inflammatory and violent rhetoric against right, all the while painting us as the violent ones?

They are setting us up to be the patsies in their new "Days of Rage."
