Media Mash: MSNBC Defends Hoffa Edition
"If Rush Limbaugh or you on your radio show said we have to take out Obama, you know darn well that tomorrow morning every editorial in America would be accusing you of inciting violence," NewsBusters publisher Brent Bozell said to Fox News host Sean Hannity last night. Yet when James Hoffa said the same thing about Tea Party conservatives, liberal journalists at MSNBC actually defended the Teamsters president.
"MSNBC is aiding and abetting on this character assassination campaign against some very good people," the Media Research Center founder argued on the September 7 "Media Mash" segment.

As far as Hoffa is concerned, union leaders should have term limits. As for Obama, take the son of a bitch out!
Obama's "Army" takes hostages
Submitted by Cool Arrow on Thu, 09/08/2011 - 12:10pm.
don't try to tell me Hoffa's remarks followed by this act of violent hostage-taking, are coincidental.
Truth is, the Pres refused to denounce the rhetoric and is now a silent supporter of gang violence.

This is more than a few targets on a voting map. This is a left-wing organization operating on newfound license from the Administration.
No one was arrested

People held against their will. Property/inventory damage. Breaking and entering - and no one goes to jail!?

Remember the anti-Palin outrage?

Why? Because union workers have the "right" to be the only ones hired to work at the port. "It appears the members have taken action on their own," said ILWU spokesman Craig Merrilees. But it's just a coincidence that this happens just after Hoffa gives a speech with violent rhetoric, right? Do you think the public will now view unions more favorably?

A Radical Liberal
So, when you see who Obama hung out with as a youth and now as an adult-he is the guy, he has not changed.
he dazzled voters with BS-so there he is in the White House.
Hoffa is a Socialist-his membership is headed south there goes the cash.
so he is on the edge of extinction.
what you now see from Hoffa-desperation.
a snake sheds his skin-still a snake /wal la-Obama and Hoffa.
Obama and Hoffa the cancer that is killing America
I dont know if O'Bozo knew EXACTLY what thug Hoffa was going to.

say,,,BUT, he knew the message, and THATS why he had him inroduce him, a duh! O'Bozo is a Chicago big govt lib pro-union, anti-capitalistic and "big business", rabid radical, and devoted commie-the exact OPPOSITE of what I, and many on here, believe in! And THATS how he got his name O'Bozo, cause hes such a stupid-ass!

Submitted by Rush Fan on Thu, 09/08/2011 - 5:03pm.
our savior President Barack Hussein Obama, an O'Bozo. That's not only disrespectful, but a RACIST comment. Are you a racist?
I will agree with you that the President is anti-capitalistic, a rabid radical, and a devoted commie. I'll also agree with you that President Obama is a stupid ass. I will add my belief that Obama is worthless, slow-witted, feebleminded, retarded, foolish, a jerk, a man-child, confused, stupefied, a dunce, a flunky, a dullard, a stooge for the unions and the Greenies, and his speeches are full of banalities.
However, unlike you, I treat our President with the type of respect he deserves.
Actually the more I think about your O'Bozo comment, I'm inclined to agree that it is an accurate description of Obama. So, let me conclude by taking back my racist comment, and leaving you with a last comment: Never Mind. :-)
No doubt MSNBC will report
Submitted by celator on Thu, 09/08/2011 - 4:59pm.
No doubt MSNBC will report that there have been more union jobs lost during Obama's reign than under any other president. Maybe Hoffa will bring this up in another rant. Any day now.
Union Thug

Hoffa is a millionaire union thug who is not at all interested in giving up his wealth earned on the backs of blue collar workers. That being said, Obama obviously has a hearing problem. Odd how he could sit in a church for 20 years (he says he went whenever he could) and not hear Jeremiah Wright degrading the United States, calling for anarchy and spewing garbage from his millionaire mouth and he didn't hear Hoffa when he was in the same room with him. Biden says he didn't hear him either but Biden is senile. Can we get any records on his deafness or are they, like his college records, birth certificate and social security number sealed. I would say to Mr. Hoffa bring it on Tubby I have the three wise men, Mr. Glock, Mr. Smith and Mr. Wesson who would love to see you "take me out" (I doubt he meant to dinner) but if I am wrong, by gosh I'm sorry. The tea party members and all Republican should be taking up arms for self defense against union thugs, whether they be SEIU, AFL-CIO or whatever.

My bookie friend has now dropped the odds of a free election in 2012 to 3:2 against. My polling place is near the coroner's office, and is run by the purples. (SEIU signature color, for those of you in Rio Linda.)
All that said... Don't have one doubt that tea party members that are able to, WILL be ready to rock.

Hoffa Knows

If anyone knows what it means to "take out" someone it would be Hoffa, Jr. In 1975, mobsters in Detroit "took out" his father, Jimmy Hoffa, Sr.
