| Subject: Teamsters President James P. Hoffa: Take these tea party sons of bitches out Fri Sep 09, 2011 4:20 am | |
| Was James P. Hoffa egging on unionists to physical violence to deal with the tea party when he said "take these sons of bitches out," or was he urging the crowd to strike back with their votes?
Hoffa, in a statement Tuesday, said he was referring to political action and refused to back away from his strongly worded Labor Day speech in Detroit.
"We're fighting back. That's what Teamsters do -- we stand up for what is right," Hoffa said. "I will never apologize for standing up for my fellow Teamsters and all American workers."
Hoffa's remarks came after he told the crowd they needed to help President Barack Obama by voting for him in 2012.
Former Alaska governor and 2008 GOP vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin characterized Hoffa's comments as "thuggery."
