Hoffa On Tea Party: ‘Let’s Take These Sons Of Bitches Out!’

Mr Hoffa – please don’t “take out” my mother! She’s 75 yeasr old and aligns with the tea party just becasue she thinks the government has gotten irresponsible with its spending.

After the Bush administration doubled the national debt, it didn’t take a tea party member to perceive government has been irresponsible with its spending. It’s unfortunate the Bush era not only delivered massive debt and huge deficits, it also delivered a massive economic collapse that basically handcuffed the new administration and put great pressure on government resources, services – and the deficit.

Ah, the Democrats’ new Era of Civility strikes again.

Remember back in 2008 when John McCain repudiated the talk-show host who emphasized then-candidate Obama’s middle name?

We’ll be watching and waiting to see if President Obama renounces his own warm-up act.

Of course there are the “Go To Hell” comments of Representative Waters and the “hanging on a tree” comments of Representative Carson to consider also.

Since they’re serving President Obama by implementing Saul Alinsky’s Rule No. 12, “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it,” he’ll have to handle it with some delicacy, lest he dissuade others from carrying on with it right up until the 2012 election.

After all, he can’t demonize all by himself, can he? It would be too obvious, and might even appear unseemly to those who aren’t Democrats.

I thought Obama called for a new era of civility after palin shot gabby giffords?

I am sure he condemned Hoffa in his speech?

I am sure we will get all of the hand-wringing about the violent rhetoric and the “new civility” that is so necessary these days. No? Oh, that is only when Sarah Palin puts cross-hairs on a map. I’m sure if she would have just talked about “going to war” and “taking them out”, it would have been A OK.

Hoffa, must be promising another Gabby Gifford day of hell…..I wonder if kids get in the way will he or he thugs shoot them too

You seem to be amplifying it and making it as bad as it can possibly be. Is that a good idea?

Spoken like a gangster………which is what you would expect from the Teamsters.

Futures on the market down 200 as I type,gold over $1900.00/oz. Europe’s socialism is causing fracture and bank’s toxic balance sheets are being exposed. Our President is about to use the Joint session as a prop for a call to become Europe. Massive infrastructure spending,Union payoffs and tax increases. Opponents are targeted Alinski style as enemies,racists,hostage takers and radicals. MSM failed to vet candidate Obama and the world looking for American leadership sees a deer in the headlights with a default ideology toward Keynes and Marx. Those hoping to see Kennedy have instead stood slack jawed as a smiling handsomer Fidel Castro attempts to steer America into an iceberg. Thanks for everything,ABC,NBC,CBS,NYT,Washington Post, AP and especially Comcast. Get ready for a billion dollar campaign to paint you as racist.greedy obstructionists standing in the way of a hamstung President. No accepting of responsibility will be offered and as Christanne Amonpour did this past Sunday, any truth telling will be met with partisan media push back.

As a teamster from Illinois i can tell you Mr. Hoffa does not have my support or the support of many of my co-workers as most of us oppose Obama. I am sure he has the support of many teamsters but truly not all.

If someone threatened the president, the FBI would be on them in seconds. Hoffa has advocated threatening 287 members of Congress. Let’s see if anything happens.

Tea Party people, just plain folk with maybe .00001 of one percent scumbags, all they want to do is return to the principles this country was founded on… responsible and effective government. Who are the real scumbags in this picture..

Socialist Obama’s Mr. Hoffa (United Union) sounds way to much like the head of Socialist Hitlers Goon squad (the Brown Shirts) with their threats to any that spoke out against them down and their nonsense about beinf for the “workers” BS. History repeats itself

I am with you Mr. Hoffa in fact 46% of Americans disapprove of the tea party……The American people are sick and tired of the tea party putting ordinary people up against each other. Union worker, public workers, poor, middle class……we are all Americans and we all contribute to the economy…..Teachers, police officers, post office worker, and more……..we tired and we are ready to kick some arse!

Another Obama minion class act.

Mary Bruce, shame on you for not giving the complete quote which made it clear that Hoffa was saying to vote out those against workers. He was not advocating violence which your story alluded to.
This isn’t the first time you have left out the part of quote that would show the true intent or made up your own interpretation that was clearly not correct on reading the facts. Are you perhaps a tea party or perhaps a Republican who can’t stay impartial as a true journalist should do?
I hope your boss takes note of your lack of journalism skills. ABC news has a better reputation than the way this story was written.

Mary Bruce was correct, play the video, i did five times, I like to know what my idiotic union President is doing with my union dues. He will be the next guy i will try and vote out of office.

Mary Bruce did not get the quote correct . . . . she left out the ‘vote’ part. The actual quote is in the context of Hoffa urging people ‘to remember in November’ and vote. The quote is exactly as follows . ..

“But you know what . . . everybody here’s got to vote. If we go back, and keep the eye on the prize, let’s take these son-of-a-bitches out.”

Mary Bruce was correct

“Well guess what? We’ve got the vote – and what we say the answer is ‘Remember in November’ . . . and we will beat the tea party” Hoffa today.

His whole speech was about voting out Republicans in November.

Oh geez, PLEASE don’t start with the phony butthurt, right wingers. I could post links all day of right wingers inciting violence and making threats. Clean your own house before you start crying about a labor leader using an epithet about you.

What phony ‘butthurt’ are you referring to, tsam? There seems to be a legitimate gripe here as far as the ‘right wingers’ are concerned. Barack Obama specifically called for an end to inflammatory words and statements. Barack Obama specifically called for an end to the name calling and hateful speech. Barack Obama specifically called for bipartisanship and a coming together of both sides to reduce the deficit, decrease our debt, and get Americans back to work. Hoffa says the tea party are SOBs. Biden says Republicans are ‘acting like terrorists’. A certain member of the Congressional Black Caucus (Democrat) says that the tea party wants black people hanging from trees. Even Obama himself has used the phrases ‘holding America hostage’ and ‘holding a gun to the heads’ of Americans when describing the Republicans and Tea Party.
I have yet to read anyone’s post on this board claiming Republicans never said anything out of the way or inflammatory. Of course they have. The point is, plainly, the double standard that Obama and his administration have. Are you willing to argue that point? I’m willing to step up and say that Republicans and Tea Party members have said and/or done many things that did not sit well with me, as I’m sure many others would be willing to do. Let’s see how far you are willing to go, tsam.

Good Evening America:
Boy! Am I glad President Obama came to Detroit today! All were fired up and ready to go. Especially Mr. Hoffa, who like me and millions of others, wish we could pull the lever(s) today, for Four (4) more years! ! !
Mr. Obama is a gentle giant, who deserves more time to get us out, of the mess, that the Republicans and the Tea Partyers got us in, in the first place, ( Wall Street and the Confederate, Good ole Boys). I guess they didn’t get enough of that good old fashion, beat down we Unioers gave them the first time. Looks like they’re waiting for us to give them a nasty, TKO! ! !

But if they know like I know, my experience has taught me, not to awaken, sleeping bears, while you’re unprepared, for what you’re going to get. But, it too, late. Now they’ve gone and done it,
they have awaken, that ole Union bear. And I pity the Pool.

Hoffa On Tea Party: ‘Let’s Take These Sons Of #### Out!’: Keep it up Hoffa! That statement may be offensive to most people but it’s music to the ears of the Republicans. Hoffa is playing right into their hands. The sicker he makes the Democratic party look, the more votes the Republicans get.

The unions are what is breaking this country and Jimmy Hoffa the gangster proves that. You people who don’t see that are beyond ignorant!!!! You wanted to elect Obama and get change and look what happened a four year recession spending trillions of dollars on nothing.

‘Let’s Take These Sons Of #### Out!’
Words have consequences. Is that how it goes?

Hoffa said Obama needs help. He sure does! He needs to learn what it takes to run a business, that earning a profit isn’t evil, that it takes a profit to pay the workers & shareholders. Funny thing I’ve never worked for a poor man.

Mary Bruce used a partial quote to make Hoffa seem as if he was talking about violence. He was actually said to get out and vote. Anyone can look on youtube and see that this story is just sensationalism.

Shame on you Mary Bruce, you should correct this story.

“The Tea Party are nothing more than dupes of a propaganda campaign financed by the ultra-greedy”
Thanks for your compassion, but you are way off base. The Tea Party-iers are simply those who understand the importance of the Constitution and limited government.
Those of you who do not understand that, need to read up on our history, in particular the reaons why they structured the government and the Constitution the way they did. There is a reason they placed every limit, every check, on government, as the result of a study of history and human nature both.
Our place in history as the freest, most prosperous nation on earth is a direct result of the limits they placed on government.
It is you on the left who are working to remove the limits on government, and seeking to weaken the Constitution. You’re willing to give up lasting freedom for a flimsy promise from the politicians, working so hard to give power over your life to your masters.
You are the dupes.

All union thugs, SEIU and most public employees are draining the taxpayers, depleting the free market and holding the producers ransom by looting the til!

There are a lot of people who have jobs thanks to President Obama…unfortunately there are more that still need them and he is working on that . While the GOP likes to condemn him..I ask them…what jobs have you created since you were voted in in 2010 campaigning on jobs..not the deficit? People in Wisconsin, Ohio and Michigan do not have to wonder because you have eliminated many of their jobs for teachers, firemen and cops….adding to the jobless numbers. Ask those who are working in the Auto Industry and are having record sales figures since 2003. That is thanks to Pres. Obama who stood up to the GOP and saved this industry. ….look to Wisconsin, Ohio, Florida, Michigan…they are all experiencing buyer’s remorse and trying to get rid of some of the republicans they recently put in office. I say…that is a lot of dissatisfaction and it won’t go away in 2012…bet on it.

Posted by: talmag | September 5, 2011, 12:16 pm 12:16 pm

Talmag, I totally agree!! I’ve been making this point over and over again. Poll after poll shows that the tea party and Congressional Republicans are extremely, extremely unpopular. They are viewed negatively by the majority of Americans because, frankly, the vast majority of Americans want their earned benefits like social security and medicare. The vast majority of Americans respect teachers, firefighters, police officers and the other publics works employees in their communities. The vast majority of Americans want balance and practicality when it comes to tackling the debt– a balance between practical, targeted spending cuts, increased efficiency which roots out waste and, yep, increased revenues via closing tax loopholes, getting more Americans back to work and progressive taxation. The vast majority of Americans find cutting worker, consumer and civil rights to be a step too far, a step against the people of this great country. They don’t want to repeal the 20th and 21st centuries, as Rick Perry and the other tea party candidates in the GOP speak of. A majority of Americans are not even conservative, let along tea party wackadoodle conservative.

There’s an interesting article at Truthout called, “Goodbye to All That: Reflections of a GOP Operative Who Left the Cult.” Lofgren, the writer, points out the three tenets of the modern day GOP including its tea party. Not one tenet is related to jobs. They are: 1.The GOP cares solely and exclusively about its rich contributors. The party has built a whole catechism on the protection and further enrichment of America’s plutocracy. 2. They worship at the altar of Mars– war, baby, war. 3. Give me that old time religion. Pandering to fundamentalism is a full-time vocation in the GOP.

The latter really explains alot: after all, isn’t it the apocalyptic frame of reference of fundamentalists that psychologically conditions the religious right– however they’re branding themselves this year– to steer this country into war and economic collapse?

Lofgren notes, “Having gutted private-sector pensions and health benefits as a result of their embrace of outsourcing, union busting and “shareholder value,” the GOP now thinks it is only fair that public-sector workers give up their pensions and benefits, too. Hence the intensification of the GOP’s decades-long campaign of scorn against government workers. …
If you think Paul Ryan and his Ayn Rand-worshipping colleagues aren’t after your Social Security and Medicare, I am here to disabuse you of your naiveté.

Obama was classless.
We know that Hoffa is a thug… How is his dad doing??
It seems that Obama doesnt represent me anymore..
Its really I VOTED FOR HIM..
NOT AGAIN!

Nice whitewash Ms Bruce. Mr Hoffa told the crowd ‘to take them out’. Is this supposed to be that new civility we were lectured about? This incitement of violence is totally unacceptable and Mr Hoffa should have no part in the Obama administration and no part in public life. He is a thug who has demeaned what should have been a celebration of workers. Totally inappropriate and shame on Obama for not calling him out on it.

Isn’t it odd how the Tea Party talks tough and uses war and shooting references, talking about 2nd. amendment solutions until Hoffa or someone else challenges them with their own rhetoric. Then they’re shocked and outraged that someone would behave in such a thug like manner. Like the playground bully, one small push back and they reveal themselves to be playground sissies. In a pathetic way, it’s really hilarious.

Poor Steve…you are delusional.

What is hilarious is the level of hypocrisy libtards show on a daily basis.

^^^^^^^ 5′s to Hoffa.
This would only be a good start to take back some of American from the ANTI-America scumbag low life, low IQ imbeciles of the mad hatters of the tea party.

Let’s do it!!

What a waste of electrons these feedback threads have become. Why even bother talking? Most people commenting here are spoon fed their “philosophy” and do not question what they are told — they just endless spout it here on the the net — again, and again and again…. Why I even looked at this thread, I have no idea – guess it is like slowing down for an accident on the freeway. Y’all can’t be right, so someone, somewhere is lying to you — I say they all are — both sides. I don’t believe any of them.

President Obama’s Tucson Speech after the Gabby Giffords & others shooting:
….
“But 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 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.”
….
Really, President Obama? Then explain this set of comments from Union Thug Jimmy Hoffa (the live one) with you smiling at his side.

It’s appropriate that Union THug Jimmy Hoffa and Democrat Thug Barack Obama made their pro-union comments in Detroit.. The city that is crumbling and decaying around the Unions and Liberals who have caused that destruction with their unholy alliance.

To the comment about President Obama’s speech in Tucson after Congresswomans Giffords’ tragedy,if you are going to hold other people responsible to the President’s words why not try holding Rush Limbaugh to the same thing? A few days ago he said General Powell would vote for Obama because “melonin is thicker than water”. Is this the kind of speech that brings all Americans together in your opinion? Don’t let your feelings interrupt your thinking.

I never did think or say that they didn’t use their money politically. Karl Rove’s group Crossroads GPS, the Koch Brothers Cato Institute and Americans for Prosperity, The Family Research Counsil, Grover Norquist’s Americans for Tax Reform, etc. are all unions that collect money from people to spend it aggresively in politics. Now I’m not saying unions are perfect or that mistakes weren’t made by individuals in unions in the past. All I’m saying is that to use words like “thug” and “bosses” can be applied to the groups I’ve named. So be fair in your criticism. And remember Ronald Reagan was the “Thug Boss” of the Screen Actors Guild union.

Hey ILIKEPIE read my post at 12:50. i think you’ll find it interesting.

Okay…..hang on a minute. So Rush Limbaugh says General Powell will betray his party and vote for Obama because (and I quote), “melonin is thicker than water” and that makes the left racist? Since when does Limbaugh represent the left? Maybe its your left….no no…your other left. I think you have left and right mixed up. and what hanging tree guy? Is that a reference to the President of the United States Barrack Husein Obama? Or is it the left being racist again? Your words have been marked.

I’m glad to see that someone corrected this story to include the part where Hoffa clearly stated voting was the way to throw the bums out.
ABC news has the reputation of covering the news professionally. I hope they catch and prevent Mary Bruces’ tendency to sensationalize ( by leaving out important quotes or facts) otherwise ABC will downgrade its reputation for honesty and professionalism.

Let’s compare shall we? After the Giffords shooting, the leftwing media IMMEDIATELY started accusing and attacking Sarah Paling (ooohhh she’s so vicious and mean) and conservative pundits like Limbaugh etc..OK. Now let’s compare and contrast.
Only ABC even mentioned this violent, crass, call for violence from a Hoffa (uh, let’s see what are Hoffa’s known for?, Oh that’s right, Cement shoes, Tommy Guns, and Chicagoland Gang style politics). Nowhere, except ABC can be found even the comments by Hoffa, Nowhere!

Sadly, Hoffa’s rhetoric is yet another example of partisan, posturing with inflammatory intentions. In short, liberal politics as usual while demonizing those with dissenting views.

Hoffas (aka Herman Goering) is another example of how cruel, desperate out of touch with reality the liberals are. Another example of the liberal double standard.
