Olbermann Condemns Hoffa’s Violent Rhetoric

CORRECTION: We erroneously thought Mr. Olbermann was referring to Jimmy Hoffa's use of "army" and "war" and "take these sons of bitches out" when referring to the tea party yesterday. Apparently, Mr. Olbermann was actually speaking in reaction to the tragic shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in Tucson.

We regret the error.

Yours is certainly is a unique way to condemn violent speech. Do unto others as you feign sensitivity, is the TeaFarty way.
Hoffa is exactly correct. There already is a TeaFarty/RepugniCON war on workers and we as workers must recognize it and enjoin that war to defend ourselves and our rightful place in our capitalist system

syvyn11   September 6th, 2011 - 8:27 am

Almost can't wait for Countdown to see how Keith justifies what Hoffa said, when compared to the Special Ed. Comment.

We love to hear Billy O'Reilly's take on this. Word has it that there's a police car parked in his driveway, though.

holy crap, you're a child. TeaFarty? Really?

Petroglyph   September 6th, 2011 - 8:34 am

Irrelevant and too late.

We are not going to let this be swept under the rug and Wasserman-Schulz proved that on the other thread. For ANY POTUS to have "no comment" on vitriolic, violent hate speech by a man who spoke immediately before him in a public forum is reprehensible. He has effectively declared war on over half of the American people. THAT is the epitome of the word "Traitor".

IronTigersVet   September 6th, 2011 - 8:35 am

Now that's he's over on Al Gore's "program", he's still a twit and viewerless, bombastic POS.

Hey Hoffa…..any time….any where…..any place…..

Come get some…. (if you really have the nads)….

I'm waiting for you and your ilk to make the first move…..it will be your LAST…..

Yea, even the minimum wage is too much, huh? How else shall CEOs increase the $50 million a year they award themselves as alpha employees beholden to no one?
Repugs believe that the collectivism of corporations should be used to enable them to dominate the labor relationship with total control.

Sounds like cheap booze talking. There is a war on workers. UNION WORKERS.
You know. Those people that probably couldn't get a job on their own, make more money than they should and you can't get rid of them.

Hoffa is high.

RightUnite   September 6th, 2011 - 8:40 am

He's just twelve, who's gotten on Mom's computer again… He needs to remain in the basement, munchin on Cheetos and drinking his koolaid.

RexSalvator   September 6th, 2011 - 8:41 am

Oddly enough, I agree with you, and I hope Hoffa and Obama bring things to the boiling point.
What we are witnessing is the collision of two incompatible philosophies:
Unions and liberals = Socialism
Tea Party and Conservatives = Capitalism
I say the USA needs this “war”, it is long overdue.
I look forward to the fight. And, may the best man win.

nceeno   September 6th, 2011 - 8:41 am

Personally, I don't give a damn what O'Reilly says…ever.

Why would anyone in their right mind HIRE anyone who declares "war" against fiscal conservatives, business owners, at least half of the US, and in the same breath asks for jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs…?

Hey union workers–if you really want jobs, then you need to to back a pro-business president, not a socialist who wants to bring us all down. Union workers in socialist countries can't afford boats, RV's and lake houses, FYI.

I hope that the workers see that the union leaders have teamed up with the politicians–the "more equal pigs". If socialists prevail, there won't be much in the way of "trickle down economics" because the pie will be that much smaller.

CPeony   September 6th, 2011 - 8:55 am

Hoffa is a big mouth bullie. Nothing but rhetoric and if someone actually made a physical move at him, he would whimper like a little baby. As for Oily-Man, he only wants attention. Anything he says is just hype but it's interesting to note that he did expose Obama's thug on MSM.

What CEO's are you talking about ? Jeffrey Immelt who did just that and paid 0 taxes. And that is fine with me; he owes us nothing. CEO's do not owe you or me a dime. I do not know about you, but I work at a Corporation with a CEO. You probably work for a poor person. Min wage is designed for a way to show what a new worker can do; not to support a family. But people like you use the min wage as an instrument to attack. Look to the dems in Congress – they are among the richest Americans while they feed sponges like you.

How can Obama, two years after passing his trillion dollar stimulus, realize that his shovel ready jobs were not shovel ready?

PUBLIC-SECTOR UNIONS MUST DIE! UNRESTRICTED FEEDING AT THE PUBLIC TROUGH MUST STOP!

The publicity continues to expose the taxSUCKING public-sector unions. They bus in rent-a-mobs who shout down anyone who tries to address them and DEFACE EVERYTHING THEY TOUCH. College kids with their Märxïst beards, raising their commie fists, homeless with their wool skull caps carrying signs they don't understand, and union goons threatening anyone who steps out of line. FEW OF THEM ACTUALLY PAY TAXES but ALL of them hang on to the taxpayer teat for dear life.

Now we see what Obama meant when he said he wanted a "civilian army" that would have equal funding as the military. From what I see, it isn't just Organizing for America but Obama's unions who are part of that funding. I bet if you added up the cost to the taxpayer for those two and all the other left-organizations that get funding like Planned Parenthood and ACORN, I bet it exceeds the cost of our military budget.

BTW: Does anyone know what Organizing for America does other than campaign for Obama?

They aren't Obama's sheep — the unions tell Obama what to do. Remember… many believe that it was the Mob that killed Kennedy because Bobby and John went after the Mob. JFK was also linked to a Mob leader's girl.

uncledan   September 6th, 2011 - 9:56 am

The best part about this whole thing is that once again, Obama has presided over another PR disaster. The week has just opened – only four days in this week and Obama is facing the nightmare speech from yesterday, tanking poll numbers, and horrible economic news. And on Thursday, he has to give a speech which no one really cares about. No wonder the Left Wing crazies at Salon magazine are openly calling for Obama not to run in 2012.

keeemosabe   September 6th, 2011 - 9:58 am

Rationalize by using straw men much?
The difference is I abhor it and you adore it…unless you can pitifully assign blame to any straw man you wish to disassociate with . So what if you can demonize only three CEOs who make plenty of money? and idolize the rest because they worship greed and bring to bear overbearing power within the party of greed, which dutifully carries the water for CEOs and CEOs alone.
So you want to save money in the health care system by paying the CEOs both past and present of United Healthcare $100 million a year. Is that how you want to save money, Bunkie?
Funny how workers earning $25 an hour or even the $7 minimum wage are greedy, lazy and "overpaid" in your fantasy world and the $50 million a year CEO is worshiped.

chicagomatt   September 6th, 2011 - 10:00 am

the left is going to do its best to justify any threats from the left by saying that "workers are under attack by the GOP".

which is a crock. look at Wisconsin.. the workers were paying something like 4% towards their healthcare insurance and were forced at gunpoint by Governor Walker (and the Koch Brothers) to pay something like 10%. to those who have been given so much for contributing so little, this is considered an attack.

chicagomatt   September 6th, 2011 - 10:02 am

right? he was being INTRODUCED by Hoffa when Hoffa went into his call for violence rant.

Obama can't even use the "gee, i didn't hear that" excuse he gave us about sitting in Rev. Wright's church for 20 years and not hearing any hate speech against whites.

chicagomatt   September 6th, 2011 - 10:05 am
