Hoffa: “No Regrets” Over Speech Calling For Violence Against Conservatives, This Is a “War”…
Thug.
(TPM) — Teamsters union president James Hoffa would say it all again if he could, he told TPM Monday.
Hoffa riled up Fox News and the right wing Monday with a Labor Day speech in Detroit in which he called Republican members of Congress “sons of bitches” and said union workers are ready to “go to war” with the tea party next year and “take out” Republicans at the ballot box.
Hoffa said he’d say the exact same words all over again.
“I would because I believe it,” he said. “They’ve declared war on us. We didn’t declare war on them, they declared war on us. We’re fighting back. The question is, who started the war?”
The speech came shortly before President Obama took the stage in Detroit — and Hoffa’s remarks certainly overshadowed Obama’s on Fox. But the Teamsters chief said he was just matching fired-up conservative rhetoric when it comes to organized labor and Obama with some fired-up rhetoric of his own.

Lying bastard.
They aren’t called Union Goons for nothing.
Hoffa is an effing liar.
We have never called for violence.
They are baiting us to get pissed off to fire the first shot.
STAND DOWN EVERYBODY!
DO NOT REACT BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT THEY WANT US TO DO.
waiting to hear from obama about toning down the rhetoric and civility.
how’s your daddy
Where’s you’re daddy?
What a lying article. Hoffa said nothing about “taking out” with any ballot box.
He said “take out” which has an entirely different meaning. Who ever wrote that article is a pure lying hack.
The Hoffa name has long been linked to the mob, crime, graft and corruption. Sounds like Jr is a lot like daddy.
The fact that obama did not immediately refute these comments shows that he is of the same mold.
The unions are going down, and they know it. This is another “last gasp” to rally the troops. Someone at Ace linked an editorial saying exactly this from the Detroit paper today. That same page had a cyber survey asking if union membership should be mandatory in the workplace – 68% said NO. Remember, this is DETROIT!
Hoffa might be standing on his daddy’s grave in that photograph.
Or, maybe Obama.
obama at a press conference:
In a male normal voice: “ME me me me me me me me me me me ”
Then in a higher (male?) voice: ” Me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me”
Then in a deep (male?) voice: ” Me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me”
Then the reporter asks: ” Are you trying to clear your voice for the speech sir?”
obama replies: “NO! It’s all about ME!!!”
Another Hoffa and all I can think of is two words:
Cement Shoes
I didn’t hear him say “at the ballot box”. Did anyone else hear him add that qualifier to his rant?
And how has James Hoffa suffered personally?
His hair look great, where is his old man? You might think you know the old mafia but you really don’t And I”m a girl.LOL. Secure the border NOW
Hey Jimmy, next time you are in town drive by and say hello, and throw a few bricks through my front window!

Apparently the apple really doesn’t fall from the tree.
Wonder if Junior will wind up meeting the same fate as his daddy? You never know.
You know they’re desperate and panicked simply because of the rhetoric they use.
We are winning.
Thug just like his Dad.
No regrets. He’ll be popping Teamster-funded french champaign with coke & hookers when his goonionoids start planting IEDs on the highway.
Please keep revealing your inner communist Jimmy-The-Hoffa.
I didn’t hear him say “at the ballot box”. Did anyone else hear him add that qualifier to his rant?
I think he said something about every one of them having a vote, though it isn’t in some versions you’ll see, apparently.
Even so, calling Americans “sons of bitches” (and a lot of the other language he used) is rather inflammatory, all on its own.
They are coordinating these things. Obama refers to us as “enemies”, and he’s condoning this. It’s fairly obvious he wants violence. Think about that. An American president wants this.
“They started it” doesn’t work when you’re five years old and it doesn’t work now.
Obama and his thugs are a total a disgrace to the presidency of the United States of American. In fact the political scene in Washington is a disgrace to this country, and our Contitution of United States and what government is suppose to be! Minus the politicians who were elected in Nov 2010!
muslim/commie assoc-they are burning up with panic. Stand-by for another manufactured crisis.
@ Zip
Your subscript under the picture should read “Thugs.”
This is pathetic and dangerous on so many levels-threaten americans with violence. Do they really think that’s a winning strategy? We outnumber the Unions!
But it’s time the Gop stand up for us, and call them out in public, reminding them inciting violence against americans is ‘Treason’! Playing nice with these thugs is useless-and that includes Obama.
If the rupublicans have any balls left, they should boycott his speech this week, letting him know, he has crossed the line!
Let’s hope this Hoffa offspring goes the same way his old man did…..

The very words that entered my mind…..
(like father, like son)
@Sickofobama
Yes, I for now, agree. My bayonet however, is fixed and ready!
Thugs, plural.
Well,isn’t that special.
The Unions and Obama sighting “WAR”!
Obama Army training in Libya.You know those Jihadist from Afghanistan supported by our weapons given by our Muslin Terrorist President Mr.Who?
American Patriots,Militart & Veterans are Those Barry Commie Soetoro Is Bringing An Army Against!
Obama & Biden are the Most Corrupt Dangerous Leaders America Has Ever Put Incharge!!
Palin ought to tweet that “Jimmy H. has a penile implant
to help him “be a man” and help him to give warm-up screeds before Obama speeches….and help woo new potential
union members.” I wonder what Politico, Kos, and HuffPo
would do with THAT!
Screw you, Hoffa.
Irrites me to death that I have (required) to send you a stinking penny, in union dues.
Pound sand, union thug.
Hoffa you thug goon. Talk to your daddy lately? No? Oh that’s right he was taken out by some other thug goons. The mafia you guys were in bed with. Now your the thug. Whole circle of life thing. Fuggetaboutit.
Lexx Luthor meets The Joker,Cobra Commander meets Megatron,Dr Claw meets Mumra,Darth Vader meets Hardourt Fenton Mudd,Dick Dastardly meets The Hooded Claw
Hoffa has proven he’s joined at the hip to Obama….and will
go down with him in a fireball in 2012. So, let’s all move
along…..nothing more to see here…..
There’s always room for one more in the end zone, Jr..
So do all the truckers out there go for this anti-american thug? I always thought truckers were independant minded hard working Americans? Why do you have a union that is synonomous with corruption?
You know Hoffa, you’ll never see it coming.
Does anyone remember the video that showed Obama having the same stance for every photo from way back when? He’s doing the same now, here’s the evidence: http://hotair.com/archives/2009/09/25/video-did-obama-send-cardboard-cutout-to-un/
Sorry, I’m so bad at the HTML tagging. Please forgive, but watch the video!
*yawn*
Sure, whatever you commie prick. Words are cheap.

ashes ashes we all fall down. Fuck you hooofa
Let’s hope independents wake up and throw this whole administration out next year – it is becoming clearer and clearer it is just an extension of organized crime.
War? Good grief….is this guy for real? Sure we have differences of opinions on the way government should be but to use the word war and pitting Americans against Americans when emotions are already at a an all time high with mob scenes and race riots. What is this guy thnking unless this was their plan the whole time as written in the “Communist Manifesto” which Hoffa and others are following to the letter.

Palin takes-onHoffa & Obama w/ simple truth about bosses exclusively serving their own interests…takes a gitsy girl to take truth to power…Madison redux. (Don’t understand why Zip abandoned his support for Sarah….the only real MAN in the game.)
love the comments about Hoffas’ daddy
one correction … cement shoes were never used
Jimmy Senior passed out some dogs’ asshole decades ago after his conscious passage [ for a brief while, only ! ] thru a meat grinder
second-gen Teamster POS with First-Gen Grinning SCOAMF
So what kinda war will this be?
The kind that only lasts 35 hours a week with four daily breaks and crippling health care and retirment packages?
These clowns couldn’t picket a war much less take on the producers.
God I can’t wait till we can eat the eloy.
will never buy a buy a union made car again
NJ has a nice new Giants stadium waiting for Junior.
More disgusting “thugs”.
They live like kings. They go out to incite the workers to do violence so they keep their money and power.
Wake up folks these people do not have your best interest at heart. The only way you can do better for yourself is by education and hard work.
Choose between the lesser of two evils
Bring it on you SOB. Some of us Americans have been waiting to clean up this country.
