Teamsters President Jimmy Hoffa had some profane, combative words for Republicans while warming up the crowd for President Obama in Detroit, Michigan on Monday.
"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 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.

Remember the far leftists screamining about Palin's crosshairs on the voter map?
amazing silence from these fools now.
-
Obama & Debbie Wasserslut-Shitz are silent on this.

Not a good choice of word but "take them out" could mean anything such as take them out at the ballot box by voting against them
btw - I don't have any sympathy for teabaggers since their little get togethers are usually filled with explicity violent rhetoric and images
It would be fun to see a rumble with TeaBaggers (usually morbidly obese and old) against the Teamsters
-
Yeah...please show us proof of that. We have this assbag saying it on camera while the teabagger rascist shit has yet to be proven. When they had their big rally in DC, there was none of that. u libs and your douchbag theories.

Its called liberal double standards and divorce from reality of ones own words.
Obama is the one blaming talk radio and the tea party for breakdown of discourse when he himself deals in it daily.

let me know when someone starts talking about "2nd ammendment remedies" or says "“If ballots don’t work, bullets will.” and then we'll have something to talk about

FOX & Friends Showdown: Wasserman Schultz Avoids Hoffa Question

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2011/09/06/showdown_on_fox__friends_wasserman_schultz_avoids_hoffa_question.html
DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz appeared on "FOX & Friends" this morning and ducked answering a question about Jimmy Hoffa's "take these son of bitches out" comment.
Host Gretchen Carlson asked several times for a response to what Hoffa said, however Wasserman Schultz kept saying that the American people want us to focus on "working together."
However, eventually Wasserman Schultz got fed up and asked "are you kidding me?" She continued: "Really Gretchen? How many times have you called out the coarse language at tea party rallies? Almost never," she said.
Wasserman Schultz never directly addressed Hoffa's comment.

Hoffa Not Asked About "Son Of Bitches" Comment In 6-Minute-Long CNN Interview
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2011/09/05/cnn_does_not_ask_hoffa_about_son_of_bitches_comment_in_6-minute_long_interview.html
Playing hoffa not asked about son of bitches comment in 6-minute-long cnn interview
CNN's John King failed to ask Teamsters President Jimmy Hoffa about about his threatening "son of bitches" remark at a Labor Day rally attended by President Obama. The interview lasted just over six minutes and covered various topics from Obama's upcoming jobs speech to Mitt Romney. Yet, there was no time to ask Mr. Hoffa about this comment:
"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.
At several points during the interview Hoffa's "son of bitches" quote was in the lower-third of the screen.

Nice try, Blacken. But this wasn't just on Fox News. CNN and, believe it or not, MSNBC called Hoffa out on this garbage, too (at least "Morning Jo(k)e" did).
And, notice how DWS ducked and dodge the issue, when Gretchen Carlson hit her right between the eyes with the issue. Why didn't DWS cry that the clip was supposeldy edited or distorted?

Of course, it was edited. The same as it was when played on CNN and MSNBC.
Plus, that was from Megyn Kelly's show, which I believe she aired before interviewing Hermain Cain.
So, WHY did DWS duck and dodge, when Gretchen Carlson brought up the issues, especially after all the yap Shultz gave, after Giffords got shot, regarding political rhetoric?

" The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president".

Its a great quote...and true. The left, the hard left is a danger to this country. Just like the hard right white supremacist groups would be..or super evangelicals. The problem is twofold. You libs seem to think the teaparty is the hard Right and two: the Left has been taken over by Obama type hard leftists. The US is a center right country and must be governed like that. I would love a farther Right president but that type of guy comes with other issues that I don't like. We want to avoid ending up like Europe and you idiots want give all our money away and embrace socialism.

Flashback: Obama vowed to end federal probe of Teamsters corruption
By Michelle Malkin • September 6, 2011 01:42 PM
The White House is still refusing to comment on Jimmy Hoffa’s profane, threatening warm-up speech before President Obama’s Labor Day gig in Detroit yesterday.
They’ve got each other’s back.
Here’s a flashback from May 2008 that you may remember.
Sen. Barack Obama won the endorsement of the Teamsters earlier this year after privately telling the union he supported ending the strict federal oversight imposed to root out corruption, according to officials from the union and the Obama campaign.
…John Coli, vice president for the Teamsters central region, who brokered the Teamsters endorsement, said Sen. Obama was “pretty definitive that the time had come to start the beginning of the end” of the three-member independent review board that investigates suspect activity in the union. Mr. Coli said that Sen. Obama conveyed that view in a series of phone conversations and meetings with Teamsters officials last year.
…Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor confirmed the candidate’s position in a statement to The Wall Street Journal, saying that Sen. Obama believes that the board “has run its course,” because “organized crime influence in the union has drastically declined.” Mr. Vietor said Sen. Obama took that position last year.
Son of a…never mind.
***
Debbie Downer has no comment either. She’s a kept woman.

Yeah...um we get paid enough to pay taxes. Its enough that we run our own tax places to ensure everybody gets them done. The whole "our military make so little money" thing is so certain groups can feel better about themselves. We may not make enough for the kind of jobs we do...but everybody is paying payroll taxes. I do pretty well.

There is more than ample evidence that illegals do vote in many elections.

I have been in canvass rooms in Florida during recounts, on the streets of NYC, Pittburgh etc doing this type of work.
So take your far left wacked out bay area crap elsewhere where people don't know any better.

Repubs love to rant about voter fraud even though the incidents are minimal and never change the outcome of an election but when Dems try to investigate wholesale election fraud they Repubs pretend like it never happens

you asked about THIS CLIP and I told you want would have happened (IMO)
Anyone who watches the full clip can easily see what this guy is talking about
Another example would be Ed Schultz trying to edit Perry's statement about a "dark cloud" and pretending it was some statement about Obama's race
He took shit for that from Dems on that as he rightly should have
same thing happened. When you see the full clip you can easily see what Perry is talking about

Carney Passes On Opportunity To Rebuke Teamsters President Hoffa (video)
RealClearPolitics ^ | September 6, 2011 | RealClearPolitics
White House press secretary Jay Carney was asked by ABC's Jake Tapper to give a response to Teamsters President James Hoffa's controversial comment at yesterday's union rally in Detroit, Michigan in which President Obama also attended.
Tapper asked for the White House's reaction in light of President Obama calling for civility in political rhetoric after the attempted assassination of Congresswoman Gabby Giffords.
"First of all, those weren't comments by the president," Carney told Tapper. "The President wasn't there. I mean, he wasn't on stage. He didn't speak for another twenty minutes. He didn't hear it."
"Mr. Hoffa speaks for himself. He speaks for the labor movement," Carney said about the Teamsters President.
"The president speaks for himself. I speak for the president," he added."
"Were the comments appropriate," Carney was asked.

Civility Goes Out The Window
IBD Editorials ^ | September 6, 2011 | Staff
Posted on September 6, 2011 7:36:18 PM EDT by Kaslin
Incivility: Teamsters boss Jimmy Hoffa Jr. introduced President Obama to union hordes by declaring war on the Tea Party and offering him an army against Republicans. Why no condemnation from "The Great Uniter"?
When President Obama held a rally at a sports arena in Tucson in January after a madman went on a shooting spree that maimed Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., and killed a federal judge and a civic-minded 9-year-old girl, he called for "more civility in our public discourse."
"We should be civil because we want to live up to the example of public servants like John Roll and Gabby Giffords, who knew first and foremost that we are all Americans, and that we can question each other's ideas without questioning each other's love of country and that our task, working together, is to constantly widen the circle of our concern so that we bequeath the American Dream to future generations."
Was Jimmy Hoffa "widening the circle of our concern" when he riled up the crowd for the president at a Labor Day rally in Detroit by declaring, "President Obama, this is your army. We are ready to march. Let's take these son of a bitches out"?
Was Hoffa living up to moderate Democrat Giffords' example, as Obama urged all to do, when he said of the Tea Party, "They've got a war with us and there's only going to be one winner. ... we're going to win that war"?
The president had no condemnation for Hoffa's uncivil intro at the event, simply numbering Hoffa among his "friends" in attendance, of whom he was "proud."

Infrastructure Spending, Public Disapproval of the President, and the New “Hoffa Standard”:
Today’s Q’s for O’s WH – 9/6/20112
TAPPER: The president’s talked about — I know there’s a lot in the speech that we don’t know about, but it does seem like infrastructure spending’s going to be part of it. He’s mentioned it several times, including yesterday. There obviously where hundreds of billions of dollars of infrastructure spending in the stimulus bill, and while that bill may have stemmed the bleeding, it obviously did not prompt the kind of economic recovery that the president had hoped. Why would a new round of infrastructure spending have a different effect?
CARNEY: The — I think your analysis of the recovery act I’ll — hundreds of billions I think may be overstating the amount of actual infrastructure spending. But the — remember, the — what a lot of people don’t know and wasn’t widely reported is that a third of the recovery act, fully a third, was tax cuts. The — and in –
TAPPER: But that still leaves –
CARNEY: And in — and in assistance to states, and there were a lot of different components of it.
TAPPER: I’ll call the Sheriff, he can get us a number.
CARNEY: We’ll get that for you. But the point is, what is uncontestable (sic) is that those infrastructure projects that were funded by the recovery act were very well managed, came in on budget or under budget, and led to the creation of many, many jobs, by an outside, independent analyst. I mean, broadly, the recovery act – I think it was over 3 million jobs, created or supported over 3 million jobs — created or saved over 3 million jobs.
If you’re asking me did it fill the hole created by 8 million jobs lost, the answer is no, because 8 million jobs is more than the 3 million that the recovery act created or saved. That’s how dire the situation was that we encountered when the president was sworn into office.
What it definitely did was, together with the other initiatives the president took in conjunction with Congress — is prevented us from falling into a Great Depression, and began the slow but steady road to recovery, which has led to more than 2 million private-sector jobs created in the last 18 months and economic growth rather than economic contraction.
Nobody is arguing that the growth we’ve seen this year is anywhere near robust enough, or that the job creation we’ve seen is enough.
But even this year, there have been a million private sector jobs created. And we certainly think that the initiatives taken – put forward by the president and taken up by Congress and passed had a lot to do with that.
TAPPER: There’s a new ABC News poll/Washington Post poll out today that shows a record high of American people disapproving of the president’s handling of the economy, of the deficit, of job creation. One in three Americans say they’re worse off now than when President Obama and before President Obama took office. What’s the president’s message to these people?
CARNEY: That he is working every day to take the necessary measures to grow the economy and create jobs, that he fully understands the anxiety that is out there among the American people about the economy, the frustration at the pace of growth, the frustration at the pace of job creation. And that’s why he feels it is so urgent to take action now and not to simply say, oh, well, we shouldn’t do anything and then let it all be decided next year after an election. The American people don’t deserve that. They deserve action now, and that’s why the president will call for action now.
TAPPER: And lastly, Jay, in January, President Obama said after the shooting of Gabrielle Giffords, “At a time when our discourse has become so sharply polarized, at a time when we are far too eager to lay the blame for all that ails the world at the feet of the of those who think differently than we do, it’s important for us to pause for a moment and make sure that we are talking with each other in a way that heals, not a way that wounds.” Did he mean that?
CARNEY: Of course he did.
TAPPER: How does the comments — how do the comments by the Teamster’s president fit in with that?
CARNEY: Well, first of all, those weren’t comments by the president. Secondly, as I think has been recorded –
TAPPER: They were comments by a union leader at an event that President Obama spoke at.
CARNEY: I understand that there is a ritual in Washington that, you know, somebody says something and you link the associations and then everybody who has an association with him or her is somehow — has to avow or disavow it. The president wasn’t there — I mean, he wasn’t on the stage. He didn’t speak for another 20 minutes. He didn’t hear it. I really don’t have any comment beyond that, Jake.
TAPPER: OK, well, some of us covered the campaign and recall a time when somebody made some harsh comments about then-Senator Obama while — during the introduction of a McCain rally. And the Obama campaign was offended and expected an apology, and Senator McCain came out and did so.
CARNEY: The — Mr. Hoffa speaks for himself. He speaks for the labor movement — AFL-CIO. The president speaks for himself. I speak for the president. You know, what the president was glad to do yesterday was have the opportunity to present his views on the importance of working Americans and on the importance of taking measures to help working Americans, to create jobs and grow the economy.
TAPPER: So the precedent — so the precedent you’re setting right now for the 2012 election is that Republican candidates are the ones that we need to pay attention to, and those who introduce them at rallies, their surrogates — we don’t have to pay attention to anything that they say.
CARNEY: Jake, I really — I think I’ve said what I can say about that.
TAPPER: Is that the standard now?
CARNEY: You can report it as you –
TAPPER: I’d rather — I’d rather not have to do this Washington kabuki every time something happens. But if that’s — if that’s the standard — if that’s the standard, then –
CARNEY: The standard is we should focus on the actions we can take to grow the economy and create jobs instead of focusing on kabuki theater.
