With everyone else talking about this, I was a bit hesitant to comment on it as well. That being said, however, with the way things turned out, the more I read and heard, the madder I got, and so here goes.
So, Jimmy Hoffa, Jr. is encouraging people to “take out” the conservatives. He said this to a huge crowd of his union sycophants who all cheered when he said it. Next up to the podium was King Hussein I, who said that he was proud of Hoffa. Hmmmm? Now what does this say? Are the words of Hoffa a threat? Well, he did not say “vote them out of office” and he did not say “defeat them at the polls” and he did not say “vote democrat.” No, he said “Let’s take these son of a bitches out.”
Now for all those who will say I am taking this statement out of context, let’s look at it in context. Hoffa said: “We’ve 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’s 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’ve 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. President Obama this is your Army. We are ready to march. Let’s take these son of a bitches out and give America back to America where we belong. Thank you very much.”
Hoffa says the workers are at war with the Tea Party (whom libs define as any conservative), and there’s only one way to beat the Tea Party and win that war. He said that working people (his working people), including him, like a good fight. He said that the working people (again, his working people) are Obama’s Army, and that they (and he) are ready to march. He then said (or gave the order?) to “take these son of a bitches out and give America back to America where we belong.”
Yep, sounds like a threat to me, and his speech sounded inflammatory to me, as if he were trying to incite his little “Obama Army” to action, and not necessarily peaceful action. Especially when one considers his background. I mean, let’s face it, he is Jimmy Hoffa, Jr., the son of a Mafia connected labor leader. And he did grow up in that environment, and he did work for many years with his father and his father’s Mafia connections. Looking at this from that perspective, a quick Google search of Mafia terms synonymous with the word “kill” include, “rub out,” “waste,” “hit,” “whack,” “take for a ride,” and “take out.” (Source)
So, it isn’t really that hard to connect the dots. Playing “6 degrees to the Mob” with Jimmy Hoffa, Jr. shouldn’t take very long. Now of course, this is just my opinion, and I could very well be dead…wrong, but it is my opinion nonetheless.
Now I will admit that I am not afraid of Jimmy Hoffa coming to my house and killing me. He’s much older than me, and personally I think I could take him. But I do worry that one of his whackadoodle sycophants may just take him literally and do his or her best to “take out” the first conservative he or she comes into contact with. Of course, I am using libocrat logic here. Remember Jared Loughner? The nut job with a gun down in Arizona who shot a little girl, a judge, a Congresswoman, and others? The libocrats insisted that he was influenced by a map drawn up by Sarah Palin (or one of her workers) that featured cross hairs on Arizona. As much of a stretch that was, the libocrats put all of the blame on Sarah Palin and conservatives everywhere. What Hoffa said was more direct. Much more direct. So my question still stands, are conservatives in America, including those currently serving as elected officials, now in danger because of Hoffa’s words?
