Muppet News Flash: James Hoffa is still a hopeless thug:
We’ve got to keep an eye on the battle that we face — a war on workers. And you see it everywhere. It is the Tea Party. And there’s only one way to beat and win that war — the one thing about working people is, we like a good fight. . . . President Obama, this is your army, we are ready to march . . . Let’s take these son-of-a-bitches out.
Your army, Mr. President. I wonder how you like it?
One of the most disappointing experiences of my life was being picketed by the Teamsters, at a newspaper I edited in Philadelphia. The newspaper neither owned trucks nor employed drivers, but the Teamsters thought they were owed a contract, anyway, and picketed the newspaper and our advertisers. But the thing was, these clueless goons didn’t even have the courtesy to send actual Teamsters to picket us: They just paid a bunch of scabs from a day-labor center to picket us. Even Teamsters won’t hire Teamsters.
Happy Labor Day!
I have to admit that Obama's political police force is much less scary now that I see them in action.

Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseFantastic video, but I thought Obama's brothers were black.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseI thought Jimmy Hoffa was buried under Giants' Stadium. No? Could we look into that?
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseOnly union labor is approved for excavation in the Meadowlands...
So, no.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseHoffa says: "We’ve got to keep an eye on the battle that we face — a war on workers. And you see it everywhere. It is the Tea Party. ..."
I thought the gripe against the Tea Partiers is that they (we) are a bunch of r*dnecks -- 'r*dnecks' being people who actually work for a living and get the back of the neck sunburned.
So -- how does Hoffa figure that the r*dnecks (workers) are the ones battling the union people (workers)? Assuming of course that too many years of extortionate labor contracts have not turned union members from workers into slugs. Ya think?
[And the captcha says r*dnecks is now a dirty word. I beg to differ, coming from a long line of them myself.]
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseCab, don't you know that " workers", and "working families" only apply to members of unions? And they are the only "workers" the democrats recognize. What about the rest of us? I guess we must be management.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseExactly. This is a complete canard.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseAll I can say is that the Tea Partiers must be the most formidable force ever seen in American society - they've beaten down the unions, lynched all the blacks, despoiled all the Hispanics, hamstrung the combined Houses of the US Congress, stymied the Executive branch, and still managed to pick up all the litter from every battlefield.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseYou're wrong, they're not done despoiling yet.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseYes, I plan on despoiling Obama's reelection plans. i also like to ask ol' James if he knows where his boys buried his dad.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseLOL yuck.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseWhy is it the Tea Party has to endure all these allegations of racism and hate and violence, while the Teamsters and unions historically have very real connections to organized crime?
Is Jimmy Hoffa Jr., the guy who introduced the President today, in thick with the Mafia like his father?
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseAs far as I know, only Thomas Sowell has written about Obama's lust for a national police force, on that would be answerable only to him. Why no one else has picked up on this, I have no idea.
But here is what I would like to know: Mr. Kevin D. Williams, are you ready to declare the people under Mr. Hoffa to be "crazies?" Or is that reserved for the Right? Take your time. Don't answer at once. You can have Dan Foster answer for you if you wish.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseNothing says "jobs" like Detroit. Good luck with that visual with independent voters.
Reply to this commentLinkReport Abusewe need to get the word "scab" out of the lexicon. Replacement workers should just be called "workers" and those picketing should be called -- well, there are a lot of things to call them, but maybe "shirkers."
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseAgreed.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseA scab is something that covers an open wound. Allowing it to heal.
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseConsidering the damage unions due to companies, bringing in scabs to start the healing process makes sense.
Some bright young conservative film geek needs to dub Obama's Detroit Labor Day speech over a running montage of scenes of the hellhole that is present day Detroit*.
(*My hometown. Is dead)
Reply to this commentLinkReport AbuseDetroit hasn't had a (R) mayor since 19 and 62. City council has been (D) dominated since then, too.
Sad what's happened to that town.
