James Hoffa – a real class act!

James Hoffa, general president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, had some choice words for the tea party on Labor Day.

"Let's take these son-of-a-bitches out and give America back to America where we belong," he said onstage in Detroit while warming up the crowd for President Obama, who spoke at the same event.

Tea Partiers have not taken kindly to his comment. (Ya think)?

After criticizing Hoffa in a statement to press, Tea Party Express blasted out a fundraising email hitting Obama for failing to reject Hoffa's sentiment:

“It is disgusting and shameful that Obama allows this kind of violent rhetoric to continue. Isn't he the President of ALL Americans? How dare he allow his supporters to "declare war" on American people who are standing up for liberty? The reason President Obama doesn't put an end to the onslaught of attacks and insults is simple... he agrees with them.”

I agree with the Tea Party, that if it's war the Teamsters want....

What is the Tea Party?


The Tea Party movement is a grassroots movement of millions of like-minded Americans from all backgrounds and political parties. Tea Party members share similar core principles supporting the United States Constitution as the Founders intended, such as:

•  Limited federal government
•  Individual freedoms
•  Personal responsibility
•  Free markets
•  Returning political power to the states and the people

As a movement, The Tea Party is not a political party nor is it looking to form a third political party any time soon. The Tea Party movement, is instead, about reforming all political parties and government so that the core principles of our Founding Fathers become, once again, the foundation upon which America stands.
