Jimmy Hoffa Threatens Again
Well, the title is a bit misleading, I suppose. Jimmy Hoffa Jr. appears to be taking over from where his daddy left off. Hoffa Jr. made vulgar, threatening remarks toward Republicans and Tea Partiers while waiting on President Obama to come on stage in Detroit, Michigan. Hoffa called Republicans and the Tea Party "sons of bitches" and called for them to be "taken out."
Hoffa Jr., like his father, is the Teamsters President. They are known for their union violence and criminal activity within the Mafia. The fact Hoffa Jr. made such threats on Labor Day, even if they were not serious, is an indication of what kind of Presidential Campaign is on the horizon. What is even more remarkable is that our President, the man who is suppose to be above it all, said nothing in his remarks about the profane rhetoric from Jimmy Hoffa Jr. That is not surprising in the least to me.
The Tucson Shootings of January 8th of this year was a horrific event on several levels. First, it was horrible because a nine-year old girl along with other people were murdered at an event by Rep. Gabriel Giffords. While the bodies were still cold, left-wing bloggers were already blaming the Tea Party. That was disgusting in its own right. President Obama called for "civility" in a speech shortly afterward. That lasted less than a couple of weeks. Just recently, noted Marxist Rep. Maxine Waters said "The Tea Party can go to hell!" in response to the audacity of people who have this crazy idea you should not spend more than you have in "the bank." As is with Jimmy Hoffa's outburst, the Hypocrite in Chief has not condemned these remarks due to their violation of his pleas for "civility." No one can take a zealot seriously. It is becoming more and more apparent that, not only President Obama approves of bombastic remarks by Waters and Hoffa, he is painting himself into that zealotry corner.
I made the remark at the time of President Obama's plea for civility, that I felt that was a good start. But, he was and is the worst violator of the civility request. By not condemning the remarks of Maxine Waters and Jimmy Hoffa Jr, President Obama gives tacit approval of their inflammatory remarks. It is only going to get worse as the President continues to sink in the polls.

All political views are welcome. That includes the liberal viewpoint as well. Civil discussion is preferred and encouraged. You can disagree without being disagreeable.
