Jimmy Hoffa Sings the Siren Song of Desperation
by Mike FlynnJames Hoffa Jr., aka Jimmy the Lesser, joined President Obama yesterday for a rally of the rapidly-dwindling faithful. (Thanks to some heavenly playwright for setting this scene in Detroit, a city more decimated by leftist ideology than any other.) As the President sat calmly by off-stage, Jimmy the Lesser excited the crowd with an old-fashioned stemwinder of trade unionist fire-and-brimstone. (Paging Jeremiah Wright.) It is worth multiple viewings:
The “Era of Civility” is definitely over, I guess.
Most of the commentariat is arguing over whether or not Jimmy the Lesser was making threats against the tea party (read American public). The wanna-be grundoons at Media Matters spittle that somehow Hoffa’s comments were taken out of context. Such an argument takes the context out of context. I’ve learned that when a Teamster or Longshoreman says things like “war” or “army” and calls his opponents “sons of bitches” it is prudent not to fidget over the nuances of language. Best to get ready for a dust-up.
But, the “debate” over whether or not Jimmy the Lesser was making threats is kind of beside the point. I watch his speech and see only one thing…panic.
Imagine you are Jimmy the Lesser. The economy is in the tank and your members are feeling the brunt of it. They are losing their jobs, which reduces the money into your coffers. You’ve staked your members’ fortunes on a politician who is increasingly seen, even by Democrats, as completely out of his depth. There is no prospect for recovery and Obama is out of tricks.
Worse, the general public seems onto your game. Wisconsin moved to end the most-favored-employee status of union members. The unions stormed the capitol and vandalized it. You and your brethren marched and protested. You threatened, screamed and cajoled. You vowed to inflict political armageddon. You pulled out every trick in the trade unionists book and…you lost.
You then targeted a Supreme Court special election and orchestrated recall elections against half a dozen GOP Senators. You threw tens of millions of dollars of your members’ hard-earned money to execute a political game-plan that had historically worked. You used every scare tactic possible and got plenty of cover from your allies in the media. And, again, you lost. The public rejected you at every turn. In Wisconsin.
Yep. Panic, pure and simple.
A friend of mine suggested that Jimmy the Lesser was perhaps a few sheets-to-the-wind during his rant. I don’t know about that. I do know, however, that the drunk in the bar always makes his most boastful and belligerent threat right before he passes out.

Saying stupid things must be in the Hoffa family gene pool, probably why daddy hasn't been seen in decades.
Go liberals! Waste your money and lose a bunch of elections! Soon, your members will realize what losers you are!
The only reason why unions still exist today is to steal money from workers to give to the democrat party.
Maybe Hoffa ought to go hang out wherever his dad is residing right now……. ;-]
Hoffa must really hate Obama. I think this just sealed the deal on the next election.
"a politician who is increasingly seen, even by Democrats, as completely out of his depth."
0bama was out of his depth the moment he first wet his diapers and has been ever since.
He needs to join his esteemed father.
Phuck Jimmie Hoffa (jr). He belongs in the same place as his daddy, in the swamps of the Meadowlands, New Jersey.
You want a war? We'll GIVE you a war.
all that union money gone down the drain in Wisconsin,and to top it off the workers in Wisconsin are refusing to pay union dues,50% of the teachers stopped paying the protection money,that has to hurt the union thug bosses pay check.These guys are desperate now and violence is the last tactic they have,my guess is that very few will show up when called into action,maybe the union can import some thugs from Iran to do their dirty work?
Hoffa is a gangster. If you appreciate gangsters, vote Democrat.
Bring it on fat boy! We will not be Kenneth Gladney. We will not be Reginald Denny.
"If you appreciate gangsters, vote Democrat."
They will.
Obama Should Condemn Hoffa's 'Direct Threat' to Tea Party Tuesday, 06 Sep 2011 01:15 PM By Amy Woods http://www.newsmax.com/TheWire/Limbaugh-Obama-Hof...
"It is better to offer no excuse than a bad one." George Washington
That was the weakest response I have ever hear from a crowd of that size. Sounds like even those folks are tired of listening to idiots.
A cornered cat is dangerous. There will be blood.
2012 cannot come soon enough and the demise of these hapless thugs. Jimmy Hoffa Jr. needs to go the way of his daddy… Yes! I said it!
I find it remarkable (though not suprising) at the silence of this administration regarding both Hoffa and Biden's comments. Both of these jokers literally picked a fight with the conservatives/tea party/Republicans with their statements and for the JOTUS (Joker of the United States) to stand by without making a statment of its inappropriatness is reflective of how out of depth he is.
There was no doubt about where this guy wanted to go.

There 'ya go.
I guess he really has two private armies now.
The union thugs and the feral black flash mobs.
Yeah, literally.
If the Unions can declare war on the Tea Party, the Tea Party should declare war right back.
Let's see… The Tea party is all about taxes and lowering the debt. I bet if we made Right to work national, I bet that would aid in getting people back to work, bringing in more taxes (without raising the tax rate) and allow us to pay down the debt. And the Unions suffer for it. Sounds like a new Tea Party Platform to me.
"I am not a capitalist soldier; I am a proletarian revolutionist. I do not belong to the regular army of rite plutocracy, but to the irregular army of the people. I refuse to obey any command to fight for the ruling class…. I am opposed to every war but one; I am for that war with heart and soul, and that is the world-wide war of the social revolution. In that war I am prepared to fight in any way the ruling class may make it necessary….” – Vladimir Lenin
History repeats itself.
You would think that democrats with all thier superior intellect which radiates like a newborn sun would know not to stir up a hornets nest that is middle class America.
I guess what the left figures is that they can start the fight and when middle class America reacts, the parasites can scream to high heaven about being bullied by far larger numbers and how they need to be given "protected" class status.
The irony of a group united by a dying concept gathered to listen to the rambling of a President with a dying career, smack dab in the middle of dying city, would be comical if it weren't so sad.
Just another blowhard. Union thugs are only tough when they outnumber their opponents 50 to 1, or when they are sneaking around to vandalize whatever property they can easily get at. If they really want to start a riot in Detroit, whatever. Not like there's a much left to destroy. I know, I live just outside it. To cause any real chaos, they would have to come out of the city. They do that, they'll find that people around here aren't just going to roll over and let them do as they please. And that will be the end of that.
But it will never happen. They talk tough, but in the end, they are just self-serving cowards that are going the way of the dodo. These are just the final convulsions before the lights dim for the last time.
I wonder if Jimmy the Lesser ever eats at the Machus Red Fox restaurant.
The liberals are in a panic mode. Their frantic grasping at any straw to blame or action to push is not working. Time has come for them to walk home in defeat. Heads down. As the losers they are. (we won in Wisconsin) Yippeee
Compromise, anyone?
hehe.
They've only just begun to sound shrill, patriots. It's going to get louder and louder as more of them realize that, far from being the Lord and Savior of Liberalism, That One has become the Pied Piper who's leading each and every one of them right off a cliff. Socialism and unionism, its inbred hillbilly cousin, are totally screwed for another generation, and they know it. You'd lash out, too, if you were this desperate.
good observation. alls I can keep repeating is that they can't hide and lie anymore with the internet!
LOL…. I believe he had the fish that day………
Mr. Hoffa is going to learn what happens when you try to corner a wolverine.
Hoffa you idiot. Do you think your union goons are the only ones who know how to swing a Louisville slugger??
I've watched the speech several times, and each time it seems more and more like the dying gasp of a bunch of people suddenly finding themselves completely irrelevant. They can feel themselves losing, and they're trying to remind people of the "glory days" when organized labor directed politics with an iron fist.
They can scream and shout about wanting a war and taking people out, but all I'm sensing right now is big, stinky fear.
Jimmy Hoffa Jr. apparently missed the great irony. His brand of union thug-ism has already killed two! His father and the once great city of Detroit.
I stand with the Sons of Bitches.
What Hoffa doesn'r get is that his blowhard, profanely insulting, over-the-top war cry is our incentive to insure 2012 is a disaster for him and the Democrats starting with Obama. His comments will bring in even more votes to defeat the Democrats and thier Union thug buddies. The Tea Party 'barbarians' are about to burn the gates and storm the kingdom of the leftie socialist boy king and his union serfs. No Mercy, No Quarter, No Prisioners. Come get some.
Advice for free Jimmy: Shut that great big pie hole up, and get your hand out of my pocket.
Advice for free President "O": Shut up too!
Look for the union label……………….and shop the other way!
LOL!
I think his remains are in a Jersey bridge somewhere….
He did not choose his friends well.
Bravo! That's reminiscent of what Adm. Ernest J. King, who became Chief of Naval Operations during World War II, remarked when asked to comment on his promotion:
Methinks we need more than a few Admiral Kings around these days…
Good bash bashley, I like your style. POTUS says he's proud of what Jr. had to say. Pure desperation setting in for unions and the Dems at this point. I'm fearful of how low these people will go.

"It is better to offer no excuse than a bad one." George Washington
And it's quite a song a desperation– what crude, rude, hate-filled rantings he's apparently capable of.
Agreed, fear!
Hoffa took over the family business it's probably all he knows.
It's too bad Detroit's ex-mayor Kilpatrick was unable to join in of the festivities. He would have really rounded out the distinguished panel of speakers and set the tone for the future of left-wing governance.
There is a simple way to deflate unions. Eliminate the automatic dues deduction and make union members write a monthly check.
Wisconsin did it. So can the rest of the red states and then we'll see where most union members stand.
That's why it is becoming known as the "Feral" Government, not the Federal Government.
Send @sshat Hoffa a teabag…….

hoffa might as well have said WE WANT OUR MONEY and shot a pistol up in the air. . . a minority of thugs
Maybe, the United States is ready for four political parties. The Democratic Party, Republican Party, TEA Party, and the SOB Party. I might be convinced to join the SOB Party, instead of being non-affiliated.
Hoffa is a failing private sector boss attempting to show solidarity with the public sector unions. AFSCME, SEIU, AFGE, etc. AFLCIO president Richard Trumka is boss of AFSCME. Here's a revealing shot of Trumka's mug: http://www.thesupernaturalist.com/ROTTENTRUMKA.ht...
Mike Flynn,
I saw the clip at BTv where you and Andrew visited Media Mutters.
You're some pretty good sonsabitches.
A group of Inglorious Basterdz!
Keep up the good work.
Good article here as well.
This topic has legs.
I believe Idaho did the same. We have ressurrected an initiative to do the same in CA – wish us luck.
The Tea Party is not the American public. It is a segment of the Republican party and obviously not the whole if you are to listen to Karl Rove, Krauthammer, etc. which comprise about 40% or so of the electorate. The other 60% are not the Tea Party and a lot of Republicans arent either. Please stop repeating this BS.
I have news for you Repubicans are not the entire middle or working class. Sorry! It's hard to believe that you're this dumb, sheltered or live in such a red state bubble as to believe that absolutely no democrats are either working, middle, or upper class. It's beyond ridiculous. Perhaps you need to get out more? Whether you know this or not middle and working class people want the rich to be taxed at a higher rate too, over 70% the last time they were polled, and want healthcare reform as well as reform on student loans. Where do you get your information from? Oh yeah, your ass! The teatards are a small segment of the right wing and one that is losing favor quickly with the American public and hopefully by next year is so marginalized and discredited you have to move to Alaska to get away from the flying tomatoes.
I too, am a son of a bitch…
Screw you Jimmy. Come get some.
Looks like he needs to take a good dump… he's full of it….
Daddy said things like that about the wrong people…
Yeah, I understand there's an extra little niche in a certain bridge piling…
I wonder if his mommy has a teleprompter for him…
Perhaps The Won really is a plant of the hard right, put in place to drive the liberals off the cliff. Thank you, Obama, for energizing the right as no one has since – well – forever. Even Jimmah pales in comparison.
Please stop repeating this BS.
Perhaps you should stop presuming the people you hate have your flaw.
When he says woprking class, he means people who make an honest living. Dems, rich or poor, do not fall into that category. They're lowlife bums looking for handouts or con men who extort the taxpayers.
And more governance by polling? Newsflash, dumbass: This ISN'T a democracy and 51 doesn't get to rob 49 just cause it wants to. If you want to live in a countr where that's the norm, MOVE and leave America to the people who appreciate freedom.
It must have been hard to keep all the unionistas in town over the 3 day weekend. They would rather be at their lake houses.
Flynn is right. Everything stays the same, until it changes.
As far as the Detroit — the union killed that town with help from EPA, OSHA, and all the other regulators.
However black malfeasance and black disfunction should not be overlooked. It gives me not joy to say that, but it is a fact. Culture matters, not just economics.
Mentor of class warfare !
Honey, you just keep right on living in your basement. The entire political establishment wants to pretend the Tea Party is a tiny group but they all know better, including Hoffa and Obama and all the little twits in Congress screaming as many vile things as they can imagine. Turn on something else besides MSNBC. Pollsters are bought and paid for so believe whatever you choose. Meanwhile, don't be surprised in November 2012.
Unions have killed lots of businesses, airlines, etc. and are directly responsible for the end of the Post Office now pending. Their game is intimidation like the NLRB's latest law last week. Employers of 2 or more must post a sign saying the employees can unionize. That is simple if you have a start-up: Don't hire employees. If you do have employees and they unionize, close the business. Now isn't that a fine state of affairs for the United States of America that was a great country until this President?
This was the civilian force the annonted one wanted "just as well financed and equipped as our military". Yes, the FUNDAMENTAL TRANSFORMATION of America! Election day, November 2012, the day Americans woke up and said that's enough!
…IN A NUTSHELL
…obama is the best example of why if you,"spare the rod, you'll spoil the child". I think it has gender issues
Thanks. It was a hoot.
OA, you truely are an idiot tool of the left.
The Tea Party is the American public, and it is more than just Republicans in the Tea Party, but also Democrats and Independents. That is something the unions are not, since they only support one party.
Could you stop repeating the same BS over and over. We all know you know nothing of politics and you are also easily bought in any talking point. Since you have no original thought or capability to think on your own.
I hope they wear their red and purple shirts to the "war."
Aim Small–Miss Small
Jimmy Hoffa Jr., self appointed "Hero" of the middle, working class seems to have one big hypocritical problem. He makes over $300,000.00 per year off of Teamster Union dues from its members and then is telling everyone that those sorry S.O.B.'s of the Tea Party are the problem of this country.

Seems Hoffa is getting paid really good by being stupid. Funny though, the stupid ones are the Teamsters who are "footing the bill" for this clown to spout off.
