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.

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.

The bigger issue on this event. From my understanding, it was funded by tax dollars. This is why our tax dollars are being withheld? to fund thugs that insult us.

The current administration could compete with the Sopranos as a reality TV show.

I wonder when Top Chef's Tom Colicchio will tweet that “Hoffa and Obama have Tea Party Americans in their crosshairs wanting them dead. They are now officially dangerous.”

Or does Tom Colicchio save his pseudo outrage only for conservatives.
