I was fairly surprised over the weekend at Balloon Juice to see one of their erstwhile bloggers state that people just want a president to fight over something—what the fuck does that even mean? We’re in a woeful place when alert Democrats have seen so little liberal fighting they don’t even know what it is.
This is a big part of it, Teamsters President James Hoffa using inflammatory labeling by calling the Republicans the sonzabitches they are and flatly stating next year’s election is a war against the Teatards it rightly should be. Hoffa’s people—as all of us—have taken many assaults over the years from Republicans, why should he be gentle with his speech?
