Hoffa: "Let's Take These Sons of Bitches Out"
— rdbrewer

From Real Clear Politics:

"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," Jimmy Hoffa Jr. said to a heavily union crowd.

"President Obama, this is your army. We are ready to march. Let's take these son of bitches out and give America back to an America where we belong," Hoffa added.

(Emphasis mine.) So much for the Palin "reload" argument, huh? And the alleged crosshairs. And that thing about cooling down the heated rhetoric? Well. That's only for Republicans. At least, that's what the MBM tells me.

Let's be clear: This is practically an incitement to violence. Let's see if it is denounced as such in the media.

And, as @ExJon tweeted, this is a perfectly set up "Sister Souljah moment" for Obama. "Of course, he's too tone-deaf and afraid to take it."

3 If lefties are known for their lack of a grasp on reality, they are a bunch of old Dutch burghers compared to the union people.  They are stuck in a Woody Guthrie song, with no conception of how they are viewed by the rest (90%) of the population.  Word to Mr. Hoffa, Trumka et al.;  we loathe you and all your works.

This is hate speech and the same type of sentiment that drove nationalism in Germany. The talk of a paramilitary type of army built around a single person to advance a nationalized cause being espoused through hate and division.

This is what the democrats are engaging in and it is dangerous rhetoric that is being spewed on top of rhetoric that is dehumanizing and demonizing the tea party and conservatives.

How could this be happening in the 21st. Century?

Join a Tea Party and stand up folks.

We appear to be reaching the appointed hour of our nation.

When the collapse comes and these liberal wingnuts want to blame, they will set in motion all of the hateful rhetoric they are planting now.

This is heading in a scary ugly place with the complete complicity of the president, advanicing his party's hateful rhetoric.

Oh how blind these folks are, how blind.

37 For Hoffa and the rest of the statist/thug/crony capitalist goons out there:

"But I learned a thing or two from Charlie, doncha know
You better stay away from Copperhead Road."

Individually they are not so much a threat, being cowardly bullies and thieves at heart.  But when they can gang up on those weaker, they get brave.

President New Civility sure is a passive-aggressive little man, isn't he?  Still nary a peep from Obama over the "Tea Partiers want to lynch black folk" speech.  He lets his minions say all this stuff so he won't have to appear to be going into the gutter.

Someone has been trying to warn us about this

Here ....

We’re here because America is at a tipping point. America faces a crisis. And it’s not a crisis like perhaps a Midwest summer storm – the kind that moves in and hits hard, but then it moves on. No, this kind will relentlessly rage until we do restore all that is free and good and right about America. It’s not just fear of a double dip recession. And it’s not even the shame of a credit downgrade for the first time in U.S. history. It’s deeper than that. This is a systemic crisis due to failed policies and incompetent leadership. And we’re going to speak truth today. It may be hard-hitting, but we’re going to speak truth today because we need to start talking about what hasn’t worked, and we’re going to start talking about what will work for America. We will talk truth. -palin

and here...

Real reform never sits well with the entrenched special interests, and thatÂ’s why the true voices of reform are so quickly demonized. Look what they say about you. You are concerned civilized citizens and look what they say about you. -palin

and this...

Friends, you are better than that. Our country is better than that. We’ve got to unite. We’ve got to stand together. We can confront the problem and we can achieve lasting reform. And I can tell you from hard-earned experience with bumps and bruises along the way, that the road ahead is not easy. You will be demonized. They’ll mock you. They’ll make things up. They’ll tell you to “go to hell.” - palin

And SCoaMF tries to steal the words written on Palin's bus today too. He really IS at the total end of his rope, they are all afraid. We just have to be strong for the next 400-some days.

64 Everyone stay calm. Seriously.

Obama is just trying to provoke us to violence, or stupidity.

ALINSKY RULE 10: "If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive." Violence from the other side can win the public to your side because the public sympathizes with the underdog. (Unions used this tactic. Peaceful [albeit loud] demonstrations during the heyday of unions in the early to mid-20th Century incurred management's wrath, often in the form of violence that eventually brought public sympathy to their side.)

116 Interesting breakdown stats from BLS on union membership:

Industry and Occupation of Union Members 

In 2010, 7.6 million public sector employees belonged to a union, compared with 7.1 million union workers in the private sector. The union membership rate for public sector workers (36.2 percent) was substantially higher than the rate for private sector workers (6.9 percent). Within the public sector, local government workers had the highest union membership rate, 42.3 percent. This group includes workers in heavily unionized occupations, such as teachers, police officers, and fire fighters. Private sector industries with high unionization rates included transportation and utilities (21.8 percent), telecommunications (15.8 percent), and construction (13.1 percent). In 2010, low unionization rates occurred in agriculture and related indus- tries (1.6 percent) and in financial activities (2.0 percent). (See table 3.) 

Among occupational groups, education, training, and library occupations (37.1 per- cent) and protective service occupations (34.1 percent) had the highest unionization rates in 2010.  Sales and related occupations (3.2 percent) and farming, fishing, and forestry occupations (3.4 percent) had the lowest unionization rates. (See table 3.)

The Left keeps referring to the Tea Party as though it is one big unified organization...... When it is not. It is more of a unified 'idea' of less government, less taxes, less interference into our lives. A theme, which a whole lot of us agree with.

If a bunch of Barry's thugs stormed into a crowded room and declared "We're looking for a tea party member"..........I would stand up and say:

"Here. Take me...I am the tea party".

Even though I have never actively participated in Tea Party events......I agree with the theme, and voted for tea party candidates.

So these union thugs are picking a fight that will not turn out well for them.

170 155, It stove piped and gummed my AR up. It's horrible. Steel instead of brass also is hard on the ejector. There is still some understandable apprehension with using steel-cased ammo in .223. Unlike the Soviet-designed cases, the 5.56 cartridge has very little taper to the case and its length to diameter ratio is very large. The result of this is that 5.56 ammo has more friction during cartridge extraction and comparatively less extractor surface area. This usually isn't a problem with brass cases, but with steel cases, especially lacquer-coated case, stoppages are more frequent. This is likely to due with the difference in expansion/retraction properties between brass and steel. These problems aren't limited to .223 either, as some guns, such as the HK USP line of pistols, is notorious for having feeding and extraction problems with steel-cased ammo.

The world will never know you existed at all!
King Leonidas: The world will know that free men stood against a tyrant, that few stood against many, and before this battle was over, even a god-king can bleed.

If conservatives win and the economy collapses, as it will, then the left wingnuts will rally and start to divide the nation to reclaim political power.

That's why it will take a leader with guts and honesty. She will have to tell Americans that this may get worse before it gets better, but that they MUST guts it out together. She must convince people to keep faith in American ideals of work and prosperity and independence and self-improvement. She must not panic and resort to quik'n'easy leftist solutions that deliver an immediate, transitory high.

I have a natural aversion to tyranny. And union tyranny and fascism is something that has been allowed to flourish for far too long.

It is one of my personal litmus tests for candidates......their position on right-to-work, and collective bargaining. This is a basic conservative dividing line, imo. So when Palin referred to the unionistas in Wisconsin as her "brothers and sisters", it was like a dog whistle for me.

Obama's reaction to not make this a Sistah Souljah moment is not because he's tone deaf, it's because he agrees with it.

Obama told his troops to "get in their faces" right before the 2008 election, when all the polling showed him with a comfortable lead.  He didn't need to do that in order to win the election, he was setting up the way he would govern.

281 O/T: Heloise's Hints

Here is a hint from my Good Housekeeping column about how to keep the area around your urinals sparkling clean. It's something that is easy to do and you may never have done!

PROVIDE A TARGET
If you have a business that provides restrooms for your customers or employees, here's a sanitation tip from my friends at the Rocket Shop Cafe in Bakersfield, CA: Provide a target for the guys. It can easily cut down on the need to mop the area around the urinals one or more times per day. It also seems to provide your customers and employees with a chuckle every time they use the urinal.

It's a different America today. And the producers of this country who've been repeatedly insulted, smeared, and extorted from aren't much in the mood for threats.

When push comes to shove, I'm every bit as capable of violence as Hoffa and his goons. So are a lot of people. Bet on it.

284 In my name is a link to an editorial in the Detroit News-link goes to the newspaper.  Detroiters (some of them) see the unions for what they are, and what they have done to the city and state.  The louder they scream, the less effect they will have in America.  Hoffa and Obama are preaching to the choir.  Do not be discouraged.  We will defeat them and Obama.

286 292 Whew check out Drudge this is not going unnoticed! Once again Palin ahead of the curve advising Union members to reject the leadership. She sees the issues with a clarity none of the others do and knows just how to address them.
Turn the members against their leadership the responsible American loving ones anyway.

You really think that's going to do any good whatsoever?

Union members are just going to lay down their ball bats and give up their cushy taxpayer-provided pensions & benefits........because Sarah Palin asked them to? 

Has Palin ever spoken out about the liberal brainwashing that has been going on in our schools by unionized liberal teachers?  I don't mean this as a snarky question....I haven't kept up with every little thing that she has ever said, so I don't know if she has or not.

287 299 Concealed kerry,

the "good union folk" that are so numerous and such a voice of reason that they let their organizations be controlled by Mafioso and scum like Hoffa???

either they're meek, or not numerous either way the "good union folk" have more of a responsibility to raise in their "brothers" than I do to mollycoddle their tender sensibilities by not calling their organization precisely what it is an extortion racket.

I aim to use what works, the union members overwhelmingly went for Ogabe.  Evidently they enjoy broad brushes they sure pay people who use them ably enough.  I look forward to turning the entire nation into a right to work nation and throwing closed shops into the dustbin of history the other Marxist ideas have gone.

292 306 Concealed kerry,

my dad is an old Teamster the UNION screwed him out of his pension not the company that folded the union....

19 and half years on a contract for them and he paid out of his savings for his pension contributions out of pocket....they never honored the pension nor did they refund the money.

I am not talking about setting the people who use the union goons to secure their inflated wage and have an icky conscience about it on fire....but I am not going to fete them as heroes either.

I keep hearing/reading these statistical percentages of union membership, nationwide.

Does that include the public sector unions too? [the govt unions] Anyone know? It just seems like a small number, if it includes all unions both in public & private sectors.

The TSA workers are now AFL-CIO aren't they? So even though that is a so-called 'private sector union'......it has overlaps into the public sector.

294 Time for legal action against Mr. Hoffa. He has Clearly made Terroristic threats against a large portion of the Country. What does he mean by " Take them out " exactly? Does it mean he wants us dead? Does he want to beat us up?
There is a Pattern of Behavior when it comes to Unions, and violence is that pattern. I  Doubt Janet Napolitano and her Ghestapo goons will use their " Pre Crime " technology to catch union thugs before they cause more violence.

My point is the unions were once a necessary evil but they have always been evil....

and today they are largely unnecessary it is like taking a bath in a U-238 pool before a cancer screening what they do for our economy

LOL Love this crap.
Dear, dear, Mr Hoffa-
look at maps of past recent elections. Red States and counties control the Food. They are the vast majority of this great countryÂ’s area. We also control the Fuel supplies and energy producing regions. Conservatives are the vast majority of gun owners. The military is pretty solidly conservative.

If you insist on making statements as such exposing your rank ignorance, my only comment would have to be “bring it, bitches”.

We prefer to do things the right way, play by the rules, convince and win at the ballot box- but if you feel froggy, by all means JUMP!

297 The one is a chickenshit coward. Uses proxies in every instance of class warfare and race baiting. The unions and democratic party,(I'm repeating myself), have fallen back on the only thing they own, total lack of merit. It is a testimony to the goodness and morality of Americans where the baiting has not bared rotten fruit. It says everything about the morals and principles of America, and the hate and treason of those who wish to destroy it. There is an ages old axiom, a bit of wisdom that never looses its meaning: Careful what you wish for

ha ha a union army:

We march! With two 30 minute breaks and an hour lunch! And tomorrow's a vacation day, by the way!

Where are the coffee and donuts? We were promised coffee and donuts! We will not fight until we are provided with ample hot coffee and fresh donuts, including crullers, jelly filled and bear claws.

Don't make us file a grievance against you. Because we will. And then You Will Be Sorry.

Also, we cannot load our own ammo. That's been outsourced to the Mexican army/drug gangs.

302 Hoffa is a big retarded pig just like his Mafia father was. Difference is his dad wasn't afraid to say he was a mobster unlike his son and the legal Mafia aka AFL CIO. All I can hope for is he's buried next to his dad, tomorrow. :-P

306 This might matter if today's UAW resembled something like a union instead of a moose lodge or odd fellows hall.   Bunch of old duffers hanging around drinking and bragging about running the world.   All their contracts have no strike clauses.  What the hell good is a union that tells the bosses they won't strike no matter what.   Let's see some picket lines you old goofs.  Shut down the works! 

Ya can't touch me I'm part of the union ... I'm a union man !

307 In picking this fight with the Tea Party Hoffa seems to be channeling Stalin's famous quote about power and the Pope:

"The pope? How many divisions does he have?"

Krauthammer described the answer in a beautiful phrase:

"Within 10 years of his elevation to the papacy, John Paul II had given his answer to Stalin and to the ages: More than you have. More than you can imagine..."

So it is too with the Tea Party. 

We have more divisions than you, Jimmy; more than you can imagine.

The Detroit Free Press informed its readership today that if they wanted to go and see Obama speak they had better bring along “a picture id”

http://tinyurl.com/3lft5cu

So, this is the current state of the madness.    One must undergo greater scrutiny and credential checking to SEE Obama than to VOTE for Obama.

Posted by: Alice through the looking glass at September 05, 2011 06:02 PM (u+8qs)

309 this is a perfectly set up "Sister Souljah moment" for Obama. "Of course, he's too tone-deaf and afraid to take it."



Wrong, the community agitator actually supports this union thug behavior

The Phone numbers for Homeland Security are:
Operator Number: 202-282-8000
Comment Line: 202-282-8495

At the VERY LEAST please call the comment line and report Jimmy Hoffa Jr. for making terrorist threats against the Tea Party. Remember, if Tea Party members are attacked by a union employee this can all go back to Hoffa's statement to "take them son's of bitches out".
