Yawn. It's a shame but the dangerous rhetoric from the Left in this country is entirely predictable these days. But please remember: the thugs saying this type of stuff are by no means as threatening as the 60-something Grandmom and Grandpop that fly a Gadsden flag and talk about violent ideas like a balanced budget.  Shocked

When someone ends up dead or seriously injured in Mr. Hoffa's war, will the President and his party then say that he has gone too far? Unfortunately, it will be too late by then.

The correct grammar is "sons of bitches" not "son of bitches"

Yeah, that's the first thing I noticed, too. But we shouldn't expect much of the barbarians.

Ah, yes. Here comes Tea Party picture time!

At best, BRTD, prominent people on the Left are now using the same rhetoric that a few lunatics on the Right have chosen to use. Not exactly something to embrace.

Many people have already died in this war. Their sh*t healthcare didn't provide the treatment they needed for the injury or sickness they developed as a result of their job.

Let's just hope that the President agrees and puts that in some TV ads! Of course, we'll just tell him to pull the advertisements and he'll do so in record timing.

...I can't tell if this is serious or not. Nobody really believes that those were to be interpreted as actual crosshairs and what's even worse was the totally disingenuous, faux outrage over the term "targeting" after Giffords' shooting. Everyone in politics knows what "targeting" means in a political sense. It will be a real shame if you fall for the nonsense that it means anything else by conservative groups.

No one said anything about putting anything in a TV ad, Phil. Your response was bizarre and a poor attempt at being clever.

Nobody brought up healthcare directly either until you chimed in. I brought up a TV ad and how the President should use your bizarre and poor attempt at making a point talking points such an ad.

Wrong. You implied that the war on the working class was some sort of made up problem and mocked Hoffa for bringing it up. I pointed out that this war has in fact been going on for many years and, despite your mocking, many people have already died in their fight for decent working and living conditions. Then you inexplicably started talking about Barack Obama making a TV ad.

Wrong (like usual). I "mocked" Hoffa for calling for violent action against those that he dislikes. You defended the comments with the usual excessive rhetoric. Since the President has remained cowardly silent on the matter, I said that we can only hope that he agrees with your nonsensical defense of Mr. Hoffa and that it should appear in a campaign ad. After all, if this war really does exist, there wouldn't be a problem with the President talking about it, right?

Me bringing up a campaign ad is as much of a stretch as you bringing up healthcare since the specific Hoffa quote makes no mention of healthcare. If a healthcare is part of this war then surely advertisements to rally the troops are part of the war.

Wrong as usual? Take a look in the mirror Phil.

Burn!

Now get to bed. You have to be up early.

That's a very hackish post.

I can't tell if you're being serious or not.. considering that people also know what "war" means in a political sense.

So you were never complaining that the rhetoric and tone of the GOP for the past few years was dangerous?  Roll Eyes

Republicans are excellent at bait-and-switch.

Perry can talk about secession and it's all good, wheras a Labor leader talks about fighting for workers rights and they want to call him a radical.

Yeah, that isn't disingenuous or spin at all.
