White House Stance on Hoffa's Speech: No Comment

Community Organizers can equivocate and bask in the black lights (race-baiter alert) of plausible deniability but sooner or later, a Community Organizer who becomes President of the United States will have to come out into the sunlight. Consider Barack Obama's non-reaction to Jimmy Hoffa, Jr. calling on a crowd of leftists to 'take these son of a bit***s out' as the quintessential example. When asked to renounce Hoffa's comments, which were said in Detroit during a rally at which Obama himself spoke, the administration declined. This can be nothing other than tacit approval.

Despite President Obama’s repeated claims to change the tone in Washington, the White House had no comment this afternoon after Teamsters Union leader James Hoffa, speaking at an event before President Obama, said of Tea Party activists that, come November, Democrats should “take these sons of bitches out.”

Warming up the crowd before President Obama’s Labor Day speech in Detroit this afternoon, Hoffa warned the largely union crowd that the Tea Party was waging a “war on workers.”

“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. It’s going to be the workers of Michigan, and America. We’re going to win that war,” Hoffa told thousands of workers gathered for the annual event organized by the Detroit Labor Council.

“President Obama, this is your army. We are ready to march…Everybody here’s got a vote…Let’s take these sons of bitches out and give America back to an America where we belong,” he concluded.

h/t to Weasel Zippers for providing a nice juxtaposition via Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama himself when allegedly heated rhetoric prompted them both to call for civility. First, here's Pelosi in 2009:



Here's the now silent president back in January of 2011 at the Tucson memorial for Rep. Gabrielle Giffords:
