"War" between Tea Party and the Unions

Violent talk from the so-called peaceful Liberals, yeah, right! It seems to me that the majority, if not all, of the violent talk comes from the left.

Tea Party Groups Condemn Hoffa 'SOB' Remark

Published September 06, 2011

| FoxNews.com



Teamsters Union President James Hoffa listens prior to President Obama speak in Detroit Sept. 5.

Tea Party groups roundly condemned Teamsters President Jimmy Hoffa after he called on union supporters unhappy with congressional Republicans to "take these son-of-a-bitches out."

The Tea Party Express called the comments "inexcusable," saying they amounted to "a call for violence on peaceful Tea Party members."

The national group, along with Tea Party Nation, urged President Obama to condemn the remarks delivered by Hoffa while warming up the crowd Monday before a Labor Day speech by the president. The White House so far has not commented on Hoffa's strong languag

Yeah, I was outraged over the quote, too, until I found out how FoxNews edited the video.

Fox Doctors Hoffa Speech To Fabricate Call For Violence

September 05, 2011 4:55 pm ET by Matt Gertz

Right-wing bloggers misled by dishonest Fox News video editing are attacking Teamsters President James Hoffa for supposedly urging violence against Tea Party activists during a Labor Day speech. Conservatives are also attacking President Obama, who appeared at the event, for "sanctioning violence against fellow Americans" by failing to denounce Hoffa. But fuller context included in other Fox segments makes clear that Hoffa wasn't calling for violence but was actually urging the crowd to vote out Republican members of Congress.

During the segment that the bloggers have latched onto, Fox edited out the bolded portion of Hoffa's comments:

HOFFA: 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 and give America back to America where we belong! Thank you very much!

I'm outraged that Jimmy Hoffa would dare speak in a way reserved for right-wing AM talk radio hosts.

Brilliant Kate

Once again

The national group, along with Tea Party Nation, urged President Obama to condemn the remarks delivered by Hoffa while warming up the crowd Monday before a Labor Day speech by the president. The White House so far has not commented on Hoffa's strong language.

People who refuse to criticize Rush Limbaugh demand the President criticize the impolite words of James Hoffa.

Right from the beginning, Obama and his thin skin went after individual talk show hosts for criticizing his holy ass, but when one of his labor leader sheep goes out and spews violent rhetoric, silence. He really should practice what he preaches.

What violent rhetoric are you talking about? Fox News took his quote entirely out of context.

Also, do you think that right wing talk show hosts actually improve the level of discourse of the country? Do you actually think that Rush Limbaugh is uplifting? Whenever I hear him talk, it's always dragging someone else down, it's always negative.

Hoffa is standing by his comment, telling the blog Talking Points Memo that he'd say it again because "they declared war on us. We're fighting back."

Yeah, that's right, he was misquoted by Fox News.

BTW:

I admit that I listen to Rush Limbaugh once in a while and I think that when he DOES talk bad about those on the Left and on the Right, they usually deserve it. I can tell by your remark Kate, that you would like to silence those who do not agree with your side. When he is negative, IMO, it is because of the negatives done by those you seem to want to protect.

Let it be known to you on the Left, that Dissent is NOT racist, or Violence, though your main stream media may tell you it is. If you want to talk about violence, which I know you really don't, let's talk about the New Black Panthers.

I can tell by your remark, Nmysys, that you do not know that I do not want to silence those with whom I disagree.

Have you not heard the vitriolic screeching from the left talk show hosts?

How did Fox take it out of context? Saying "lets take these SOB's out" can't be taken out of context. Especially coming from a teamster boss. The teamsters are well know for their violence....taking someone out is not on a date or a movie to these guys.
