Resistance to lynchers on Labor Day ! Well, it actually begins a little early with Maxine Waters' s comment some days ago sending the Tea Party to hell. Today James Hoffa, the Teamsters leader, finally said what is on all our minds: " Let's take these sons of bitches out and give America back to an America where we belong! " and " We gotta keep an eye on the battle 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 got a war, and they got a war with us, there is only going to be one winner and it's going to be us." There was much regurgitating crime tactics by Blakeman, an ex-Bush employee, who knows but won't say how cutting off income for a worker is harmful to the worker more than it is to his or her boss, and an equiparating of Hoffa's supposed violence to that of the Tea Party by a Democratic Party Chair from South Carolina, Harpootlian. But, saying that self-defense, standing up for justice and equality is the same as lynching in terms of violence is news to me. Since when is willful cruelty, oppression and torture the same as stopping it? For Bush's waterboarders, maybe. Tell that to World War Two veterans, for one, since Civil War fighters are long gone. What the critics really mean: if you want to clean this up, you're on your own, it looks messy and dangerous. So, unless we absolutely have to back you, you're on your own. Divide and conquer. But can we say it without getting off sadistically by demeaning you with our comments? Oh, the Tea Party wants Obama to apologize for Hoffa's words. Tell them to go to hell, Hoffa!
