Even MSNBC Thinks Hoffa’s Comments Were Out Of Line

When the cable news morning show that gets emails and text messages from the White House decides that Jimmy Hoffa’s comments about the Tea Party are wrong… Morning Joe‘s entire opening segment of today’s program was all about Hoffa‘s incendiary comments made during his introduction of the President at Monday’s Labor Day rally in Detroit.
From “Morning Joe”:
But it did not end there… Pat Buchanan closed the discussion and tied much of it together, from the violent comments by the Congressional Black Caucus, to the allegation that the Vice President called the Tea Party members terrorists.
(This clip also has the same still frame as the one above, but it is different.)
It makes you wonder: Was this all just a well-crafted plan by the Democrats to rally their base as Congress returns from recess?

Posted on September 6, 2011 at 12:05pmYou got a point there. Most “REAL” Americans only work for around $10 an hour give or take a few bucks. Unions are only so mad at the Tea party because they make about 2 or 3 times that much maybe more depending on the job, but they make everyone elses lives miserable in the process. Screw unions.

Posted on September 6, 2011 at 12:55pmYou’ve got to wonder how a man can convince himself that — not only is some other man obligated to create a job for them — but that it has to be a well-paying job, no matter what the “worker” brings to the table. Unions are parasitic organizations. They produce nothing. They are just one more entitity standing in line, with government and the mob, to grab part of the income stream produced by others. A good worker who makes the welfare of his employer a top priority does not need a union.

Posted on September 6, 2011 at 5:25pmThey probably DO represent America’s workers because the other 83% are not working!!!!!! When you have somewhere near 20 million displaced workers SOMEBODY has to be working for the unions, and thanks be to Obama, he has made SURE that the unions will be busy until his debt to them is paid in FULL!!!!!! Of course, when you make $30 an hour, give the government their share, give the union their share, what you take home is almost the same as the guy working for $10 per hour. Yes sirree, unions have done a fine job of improving the quality of life for Americans . . . that why unions need the President to pass card check so they can eliminate the private vote of future members. It‘s pretty hard to bully someone into voting to become unionized if you don’t know who they are!

Posted on September 6, 2011 at 11:38amThis is just the beginning and if you think Hoffa is bad you’d better stop listening. The left is imploding and they are angry, amoral people who believe that they are right. They are willing to do things that might just make the, so called, religious wars minor by comparison. They have shown their willingness to flush whole races and ethnicities down the toilet to get what they want. Remember the Weather Underground was talking about killing off 25 million 40 years ago. That’s 25 million of our most productive citizens too. Arrogance has taken down every major civilization in history and we will be no different.
