"We 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 is 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 got a war with us and there's only going to be one winner....
"President Obama, this is your army. We are ready to march. Let's take these son of bitches out...
It's pretty clear what Hoffa meant by his comment:
Fox Doctors Hoffa Speech To Fabricate Call For Violence | Media Matters for America
Right-wing bloggers misled by dishonest Fox News video editing are attacking Teamsters President James Hoffa, Jr. for supposedly urging violence against Tea Party activists during a Labor Day speech. Conservatives are also attacking President Obama, who appeared at the event, for "sanctioning violence against fellow Americans" by failing to denounce Hoffa. But fuller context included in other Fox segments makes clear that Hoffa wasn't calling for violence but was actually urging the crowd to vote out Republican members of Congress.
During the segment that the bloggers have latched onto, Fox edited out the bolded portion of Hoffa's comments:
HOFFA: Everybody here's got to vote. If we go back and keep the eye on the prize,let's take these son of a bitches out and give America back to America where we belong! Thank you very much!In an initial report on Hoffa's speech at 1 p.m. on Fox News, Ed Henry reported that Hoffa said that "we'll remember in November who's with the working people" and "said of the Tea Party and of Republicans, 'let's take these sons of bitches out.'"

He is ranting against the right, so the main stream media doesn't give a ****.
it's nice to see that liberals/leftists have decided to toss away the nonsense outrage about violent rhetoric... they should have know it was false outrage the last time this sort of stuff came up

There was very little "outrage" last time this came up.. that is until one of your own started a shooting spree targeting the political opposition...
but regardless of that... the "left" did not have to manipulate comments or take them out of context like what Fox News and you lot have done here.

It is clear to anyone being honest that Hoffa was talking about voting and the electoral process.
Exactly what was quoted in the Fox article I posted. So what's the left's problem?

It's pretty clear what Hoffa meant by his comment:
you are correct. it is. he used warlike rhetoric to emphasize the importance of his side voting their preferences.
now, you recognize the importance of realizing what someone is saying rather than hyperventilating over the rhetoric. how wonderful! you no doubt will prove to be a consistent, honest left-winger who will apply the exact same standard to everyone who comes before you.
why, I bet if I were to check back in time to the Cathy Giffords shooting, I would find post after post from you denouncing your fellow liberals for their idiotic treatment of Sarah Palin's use of target images!
.... goes back and checks .....
... awww..... shoot. turns out not so much.
