Congressman Capuano Tells Unions to Get Bloody

When I think of protesters getting bloody it is at the end of a police baton...perhaps that is what he meant...? Hard to tell from what has been posted.

If he did mean the protesters should resort to violence he doesn't deserve to be in office.

Because cops usually begin beating people with no provocation whatsoever? Even if that was what he meant, he is still inciting people to cause violence. Your rationalization is equally atrocious.
Like Sarah Palin with her gunsight and call to reload?

Okay. :thup:

oh shit! Not the Sara Palin defense! What ever shall we do?!?!?

wait

What office does she hold again?
When did the call for civility go out?
Impling murder is a metaphor, b/c it is such a stretch. Implying that you should hit the streets and get violent is not.

Okay. :thup:

And that does what to refute the fact that your interpretation is no better than the OP's? Obviously, if that's how you interpreted the statement then it is inciteful to at least one person - you.

Thanks for trying to derail the conversation though. This has nothing to do with Sarah Palin. You of all people should know that pointing out hypocrisy is not hypocrisy itself.

Sometimes it's necessary to get out on the streets and "get a little bloody," a Massachusetts Democrat said Tuesday in reference to labor battles in Wisconsin.

Rep. Michael Capuano (D-Mass.) fired up a group of union members in Boston with a speech urging them to work down in the trenches to fend off limits to workers' rights like those proposed in Wisconsin.

"I’m proud to be here with people who understand that it’s more than just sending an email to get you going," Capuano said, according to the Dorchester Reporter. "Every once and awhile you need to get out on the streets and get a little bloody when necessary."

I guess Capuano missed Obama's State of the Union speech too. So I'm curious. If bloody violence breaks out in Madison, Wisconsin, will it be Mike Capuano's fault?
Scott Walker may have wasted political capital by sparing Wisconsin’s police and fire fighters
02/22/2011

..... In Wisconsin, the state police, several police locals, and a firefighters union (just a fraction of the states more than 300 public safety union organizations) endorsed Walker in the gubernatorial race. That he’s sparing them now, when so many of his gubernatorial peers have confronted the cost of essential personnel, has both his critics and allies wondering if he’s rewarding allies and punishing his foes.

“Tellingly, some workers — namely, those who tend to be Republican-leaning — are exempted from the ban; it’s as if Mr. Walker were flaunting the political nature of his actions,” wrote the New York Times’ Paul Krugman.


Libertarian blogger and Troy University professor Stephen L. Taylor wrote that it is “not an unreasonable supposition” that Walker is rewarding the firemen and policemen who helped him during his campaign for governor. “I would go beyond that and not ask why Walker is doing what Walker is doing,” Taylor added, “but rather ask why we have not seen (or, at least, I have not seen) his ideological allies calling for him to include police, firefighters and state troopers in the bill?”

But it’s not as simple as Krugman makes it out to be. “Politically, police and fire unions are not Republican bastions; they split their allegiances between the parties,” Barro said. “Because they are a swing constituency, Republican politicians have more incentive to try to make nice with them than with other public employee unions. … I can understand why [Walker] would make a strategic choice to exclude them — politicians pick their battles all the time with an eye toward coalition building — but I do think it’s unfortunate.”

If Walker were hoping to gain politically by sparing police and firemen, his plan has likely backfired. Last week, Tracy Fuller, director of the Wisconsin Law Enforcement Association, denounced Walker’s decision to abolish collective bargaining privileges for public employees.

“I specifically regret the endorsement of the Wisconsin Trooper’s Association for Gov. Scott Walker. I regret the governor’s decision to ‘endorse’ the troopers and inspectors of the Wisconsin State Patrol,” Fuller wrote. “I regret being the recipient of any of the perceived benefits provided by the governor’s anointing. I think everyone’s job and career is just as significant as the others.” .....

Democrats from Massachusetts are notorious for inciting "violence!"

What's next - putting a map of the US on a Democratic website targeting Madison Wisconsin in the "crosshairs" of a rifle scope!

Perhaps our conservative "friends" who support Governor Walker's actions would care to convince us that its just a matter of coincidence that those public employee unions (police, fire fighters) that endorsed him in Wisconsin's gubernatorial race now find themselves exempt from the ban!

Democrat calling for bloodshed in the shadow of defeat in the union debate?

No suprise.

Fox reporting right now that unions are getting violent today in Greece, and Greek police are combating them in the streets.

And now a Dem is calling for blood in the streets. Really classy Dems. Really classy.
Isn't it funny how the left always accuses the right of violence yet they are the ones who actually are?

Do you honestly think that he meant for his people to go out and get thier asses kicked by cops with batons?

Good lord! I know most of us like to "defend our guys". But DAMN you shoulda put a little more thought into it before posting. :lol:

Nope Glennn Beck.
 
Yes, I do think it is possible that that is exactly what he meant.

Now, if you can prove it either way, go right ahead.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Yeah, my common sense kicked in on that one.

If one of my "leaders" told me to go get my assed kicked, I'd ask him if he meant to say that or if he meant to go kick some ass.

Thanks for sticking to your guns though. That's the best laugh all month.
I'm glad I made you happy.

Apparently you have no knowledge of the history of workers' strikes.
History of workers strikes; communism started in Russia with the workers. That is what socialists do, they use the the workers ie the unions.

a sane and rational person would be able to understand that calls for violence come from BOTH the right and left

mindless partisans defend calls for violence from their own side while denouncing and blaming the other side for similiar words

Do you have any of these unequivocal calls for violence from the right?

Ravi is a woman and usually very good at verbal sparing.

She's just really, really off her game today.

Hypocrisy is the point.

The Congressman is a dumbass. He shouldn't be using such incendiary language.

He's now backtracking

After Republicans took aim at his rhetoric, Capuano issued a statement expressing regret for his language, although at the time it drew wild applause and cheers from the throngs of union supporters.

“I strongly believe in standing up for worker rights and my passion for preserving those rights may have gotten the best of me yesterday in an unscripted speech,” he said in a statement. “I wish I had used different language to express my passion and I regret my choice of words.”

Okay. :thup:

btw, the guy admitted that he used the language in the manner the OP claimed...IMO, he does not deserve to be an elected official.

Nor does Sarah Palin ever deserve to be one for engaging in the same type of idiocy.

But of course neither you, she, or any of the other rightwingloons will admit to that.

You're seriously an idiot if you think I support Sarah Palin in any capacity. Thanks for proving you're an ignoramus who makes baseless assumptions. My mental health will probably be improved by ignoring your stupidity from now on.
