Do you remember when Girffords was shot there was a attempt to blame the tea party for their rhetoric even though it was clear that wasn't the case.  Obama called for both sides to tone down the Rhetoric. 

 

Teamsters President Jimmy Hoffa had some profane, combative words for Republicans while warming up the crowd for President Obama in Detroit, Michigan on Monday. "We got to keep an eye on the battle that we face: The war on workers. And you see it everywhere, it is the Tea Party. And you know, there is only one way to beat and win that war. The one thing about working people is we like a good fight. And you know what? They've got a war, they got a war with us and there's only going to be one winner. It's going to be the workers of Michigan, and America. We're going to win that war," Jimmy Hoffa Jr. said to a heavily union crowd. "President Obama, this is your army. We are ready to march. Let's take these son of *****es out and give America back to an America where we belong," Hoffa added. Obama addressed the crowd shortly after Hoffa.

John King was shot in the arm last week when he surprised a man trying to slash the tires on the truck at his Lambertville home.The word "scab" was also scrawled on the side.

King says he became suspicious when he saw an outside security light outside go on.

When he stepped out of his front door, the man fired one shot and ran off.

 

King is the owner of the largest non-union electrical contracting company in the area.

Furthermore, the shooting came soon after the union that represents Verizon workers declared “open season” on “managers and scabs.”

A recorded message by the union stated, “It is open season. Follow them safely, but when you get to a location, torture them, torture them with chants and noise. Be so loud that they can’t concentrate and wish they never got out of bed.”

The IBEW is certainly not the first union to resort to violence and bullying tactics. In fact, the union most guilty of this sort of behavior is arguably the Service Employees International Union (SEIU).

TUCSON, Ariz. | Before a rousing, raucous crowd of 13,000 Arizonans aching from Saturday’s deadly shooting, President Barack Obama on Wednesday evening urged Americans to tone down their rhetoric and debate “in a way that heals, not a way that wounds.”

“Bad things happen, and we must guard against simple explanations in the aftermath,” he said. “We may not be able to stop all evil in the world, but I know that how we treat one another is entirely up to us.”

"Meet Eddie York. He was a workingman whose story will never scroll across Obama’s teleprompter. A nonunion contractor who operated heavy equipment, York was shot to death during a strike called by the United Mine Workers 17 years ago. Workmates who tried to come to his rescue were beaten in an ensuing melee. The head of the UMW spearheading the wave of strikes at that time? Richard Trumka. Responding to concerns about violence, he shrugged to the Virginian-Pilot in September 1993: “I’m saying if you strike a match and you put your finger in it, you’re likely to get burned.” Incendiary rhetoric, anyone?

 

A federal jury convicted one of Trumka’s UMW captains on conspiracy and weapons charges in York’s death. According to the Washington, D.C.-based National Legal and Policy Center, which tracks Big Labor abuse, Trumka’s legal team quickly settled a $27 million wrongful death suit filed by York’s widow just days after a judge admitted evidence in the criminal trial. An investigative report by Reader’s Digest disclosed that Trumka “did not publicly discipline or reprimand a single striker present when York was killed. In fact, all eight were helped out financially by the local.”

 

In Illinois, Trumka told UMW members to “kick the s**t out of every last” worker who crossed his picket lines, according to the Nashville (Ill.) News. And as the National Right to Work Foundation (pdf), the leading anti-forced unionism organization in the country, pointed out, other UMW coalfield strikes resulted in what one judge determined were “violent activities … organized, orchestrated and encouraged by the leadership of this union.”

 

Trumka washed off the figurative bloodstains and moved up the ranks. As AFL-CIO secretary, he notoriously refused to testify in a sordid 1999 embezzlement trial involving his labor boss brethren at the Teamsters Union. No surprise. Thugs of a feather: Trumka’s violence-promoting record echoes the riotous Teamsters strikes dating back to the 1950s, when the union organized taxicab companies to target workers with gas bombs, bottles and fists.

 

And now, Trumka is spearheading a Democratic Party get-out-the-vote campaign by far-left groups — publicized in the revolutionary Marxist People’s World — to “energize an army of tens of thousands who will return to their neighborhoods, churches, schools and voting booths to prevent a Republican takeover of Congress in November and begin building a new permanent coalition to fight for a progressive agenda.”

 

Take those as literal fighting words. The bloody consequences of compulsory unionism cannot be ignored."

No, that was the left who accused the Tea Party when Giffords was shot by a lunatic. He didn't even care about politics.

 

If a member of the Ta Party is killed, you can blame Hoffa directly.

Funny, especially from the guy who said, "The person responsible for the shooting will never be identified...the cops are all unions members.  And, they all have guns....things that make you go hmmmmmm."

 

Wait... that's not funny at all, it's stupidly pathetic.
