In response to "I don't understand the outrage here. Hoffa threw a bunch of red meat to union members. It happens at political rallies all the time. -- nm" by Strongbad

I don't either. Are there people out there who actually think he meant "take out" as in "kill"?

Seemed like a typical, "if you don't like what they're doing, vote their asses out" remark to me, but what do I know?

Responses:

Of course there are, just like there were people who thought Palin wanted people to kill Giffords. -- nm - Ender Sep 7, 07:35 1

  - When you call for an end to this type of rhetoric, and it's then used at a rally you speak at 20 minutes later your response shouldn't be... - Stephen Sep 7, 07:48 3

      - He was at the event Jack, he spoke 20 minutes later, he praised Hoffa (and other union leaders) - Stephen Sep 7, 08:02

      - I don't think "apology" would be the right word, but given that Obama spoke at this event like 20 minutes later I think a disavowal would be in line. -- nm - Ender Sep 7, 07:43 9

        The problem here isn't actually whether those words can be attached to Obama, it's his blatant hypocrisy for only calling these types of words out when it's the other side. -- nm - Ender Sep 7, 07:52 5

        This was said at an event he himself spoke at. I don't think an "of course we don't approve of violent rhetoric" out of his spokesman is out of line. -- nm - Ender Sep 7, 07:57 2

        No shit...if he called them out everytime, he'd never accomplish anythi....um, wait a minute. -- nm - Jim Sep 7, 07:55

        Do what we say, Boy and apologize! - Repubs si Sep 7, 07:51
Taken in full context, I agree. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 7, 07:20
