The words of Jimmy Hoffa and Barack Obama at Detroit Labor Day Rally (party, government)

[roysoldboy]

Here are the words said by Hoffa and followed by Obama. I really wonder how libs can twist the words of either of them to show that Hoffa didn't declare outright warfare with the Tea Party, those SOBs, and how you can twist Obama's words to show him doing anything but bragging on Hoffa. It would be so good to see you twist the words we can all hear here.

» Obama Declares He’s ‘Proud’ of Hoffa–After Hoffa Declares ‘War’ on Tea Party ‘Sons-Of-*******’ - Big Government

And when these union goons actually go out and hurt somebody with a tea party sticker on their car who's fault will it be? Oh not Obama or Hoffa or Trumka's oh no. It will be the person who dared to put that sticker on there in the first place according to THEM.

"take them out"
As in, take them out of office.

Leave it to right-wingers to assume a phrase like that automatically involves guns and shooting.

Your spin isn't going to work here.

No word-twisting necessary- it is a WAR-not a shooting war, but a class war. And the wanna-be "ruling class" started it. We of the working class are going to finish it!

I back Hoffa 100%. I WISH Obama had the BALLS to call those sons of bitiches pulling the strings of the ignorant puppet "tea party" sons of *******! I might gain some respect for him!

With the history of the Teamsters, they do mean to do harm.

My grandpa was a early officer in a local in Charleston, WVA.

He has told me times about beating up men and burning their trucks (thier livelihood) if they would not join the teamsters.

The teamsters are deeply rooted in crime, even against the own members.

Now, don't get your hankie all crumbled-up. Hoffa was speaking metaphorically.

Read up on the history of the US labor movement. "Labor goons" had NOTHING on the plutocrat Capitalists, backed by private AND public armies, when it came to mowing workers and their families down in the streets of this country.

It is when you're representing a group linked to the Mafia.

Yep, that did happen about a hundred years ago. What the teamsters do goes back a hundred years all the way up to today.
