So what have we learned?
We've learned that teapees love to threaten violence against anyone that doesn't agree with them. But when someone uses hyperbole to encourage people to vote, the teapees start crying like four year olds.
I read a paragraph of Hoffa's statement about how this was war with the tea party. I didn't see the word vote anywhere in that paragraph Rav. Now, I'm not denying that Hoffa may have said vote somewhere along the line, but when I heard him say it and when I read what he said, he really didn't seem to imply that he was talking about voting at all.
Perhaps, if the SEIU hadn't physically beaten people at the town hall meetings last fall, people on the right would be a little more willing to believe it was hyperbole. Instead, I'm inclined to take him at his word. Too bad for him the tea party outnumbers union members these days. It would be a VERY short war if he'd like to have it.
