MORE THOUGHTS ON Jimmy Hoffa’s “Take These Sons of Bitches Out” Speech:

Hoffa announces that there are 2 sides aligned in a fight against each other, and he would like anyone who has or wants a jobs to perceive himself or herself as a “worker” and thus a foot soldier in his army, with no independent mind.

That’s quite repulsive.

And by the way, the constant use of this word “workers” reinforces the notion of the collective. You can see that for Hoffa, “workers” mean “soldiers” — and obviously, soldiers take orders. They don’t think for themselves.

Which is how Hoffa, et al. prefer it. And Obama has associated himself with Hoffa and his language at this very event.

Also: “Tea Party Zombies Must Die!” Remember, people called Sarah Palin an accomplice to murder for much less.

UPDATE: A study in contrast.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Sarah Palin: “Welcome, Union Brothers And Sisters.” “So, as a former card-carrying IBEW sister married to a proud former Laborers, IBEW, and later USW member, please hear me out. What I have to say is for the hard working, patriotic, selfless union brothers and sisters in Michigan and throughout our country: Please don’t be taken in by union bosses’ thuggery like Jim Hoffa represented yesterday. Union bosses like this do not have your best interests at heart. What they care about is their own power and re-electing their friend Barack Obama so he will take care of them to the detriment of everyone else.”
