Words Can Never Hurt Me ...

Beware. The sensitive types are busy taking offense again...
Sheesh. We really need to stop defining down "threats of violence" by the uber-PC campus sensitivity crowds, who have their own timid definitions of what's allowed to be said, with the usual over-reaction reflex at the ready.

TEA PARTY GROUP TO HOFFA: Resign!
After Teamsters union president Jimmy Hoffa, Jr. called for a “war” against Republicans and tea partiers on Monday, one tea party group is calling for the union leader to resign.

“Calls to violence can never be acceptable in this civil society,” the Rockford, Illinois tea party group said in a statement. “Hoffa’s remarks were made in an introduction to Obama speaking to Auto Workers and Unions in Detroit and this sort of angry, hateful, call to violence should be repudiated by the President with a call from the President to ask Hoffa to resign his very public position of influence.”

While warming up a Labor Day crowed in Detroit before a speech by President Obama, Hoffa Jr. said unions need to pick a fight with tea partiers and congressional Republicans.

“President Obama, this is your army,” Hoffa Jr. declared. “We are ready to march. Let’s take these sons of bitches out and take America back to where America we belong.”

The Rockford tea party called Hoffa’s comments “incendiary and dangerous.”

A far cry from the Hope And Change of 2008, isn’t it?

Hype the fear. Hype it, own it. Victim-wannabees all.
Let the New Media spin a new front-page, week-long minor story into a another manufactured crisis, all based on fearful thoughts of potential violence...

No thanks.
Not like that...

Hint. Maybe this: “We are ready to march. Let’s take these sons of bitches out and take America back to where America we belong.” is referring to a political massing in the streets, to vote undesirable (to Dems, and suffering labor) politicians "out". And hey, be flattered by the adoptive nod to "take America back" to where "we belong". Imitation is the sincerest form, I've heard...

Just remember:
if your own social circles consist of using firearms for societal fear control, don't assume everyone else is one trigger pull away from effecting change via violence.

And for me personally? Leave the language to be open to interpretation, and don't assume that what you see and hear in those strong dead-on words by a hardened labor man is the one and only interpretation, especially if you're a cautious and literal type. Be freer in your thinking?

You simply can't box in words like that, suffocate them slowly to mean only what you're hearing... it's an affront to the Free Speech idea, where we let people in different classes and positions put things in their own words, and not define it down for some sensitive campus ears, not used to hearing more coarsened, tough language that hasn't been properly vetted for all audiences who might be well taught and conditioned to take offense. Fwiw.
