Why would anything he said be unacceptable? Because it makes conservatives and libertarians uncomfortable to think about? Because it doesn't involve working people getting on their knees and accepting whatever managers and corporate leaders decide upon? There is indeed a war on the working class and organized labor going on in this country and it's a good thing someone's talking about it.

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.

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.

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.

I should've learned long ago there's no use arguing with you. Have a nice day.
