I did, but it's not really pertinent to most of our comments Isaac Send a noteboard - 08/09/2011 04:02:42 AM
The manipulation here is blatant. I am disgusted when either side uses these tactics.


For the most part the right is objecting to the double standard, not claiming Hoffa was encouraging violence but rather that every time a conservative uses 'combative words' there's a media flash fire. It hasn't even been a year since many people, including many on this site, attempted to blame the acts of a mass murderer on political figures of the right for using language far less combative than Hoffa's.

I don't think that he was advocating taking them out with mobs weilding ballot boxes. Pretty sure he was talking about taking them out by using the right to vote. Duh.


Doubtless so, although in Hoffa and the Teamsters case there is actually some room to think twice on that, there's has not been a history unblemished with violent or underhanded behavior.

I would be dissappointed in Obama if he did apologize. The video you watched was doctored. Tashmere - 08/09/2011 01:35:39 AM 545 Views
when you compare what Hoffa said vs what people got upset about Palin saying Palin wins random thoughts - 08/09/2011 05:03:18 AM 492 Views
That was stupid too. I just want to throttle people when they get stupid about interpreting crap Tashmere - 09/09/2011 01:37:02 AM 470 Views

For me that video changes nothing; his rhetorical imagery was unacceptably violent. Joel - 12/09/2011 10:28:00 PM 574 Views
I don't think that we can afford to watch every single little thing we say and obliterate any Tashmere - 13/09/2011 12:56:34 AM 557 Views
