Palin slams Hoffa for 'thuggery'
Sarah Palin is taking to her Facebook page to slam Jim Hoffa, the Teamsters president, for his call to "take these son-of-a-bitches out" in reference to the tea party:

What I say now, I say as a proud former union member and the wife, daughter, and sister of union members. So, as a former card-carrying IBEW sister married to a proud former Laborers, IBEW, and later USW member, please hear me out. What I have to say is for the hard working, patriotic, selfless union brothers and sisters in Michigan and throughout our country: Please don’t be taken in by union bosses’ thuggery like Jim Hoffa represented yesterday. Union bosses like this do not have your best interests at heart. What they care about is their own power and re-electing their friend Barack Obama so he will take care of them to the detriment of everyone else.

To the same degree Americans are concerned about irresponsible, greedy corporate execs who got cushy bonuses from taxpayer-funded bailouts, we should also be concerned about greedy union bosses who are willing to tank our economy just to protect their own power. As union history shows, power and greed corrupt. Just because you claim to represent union members doesn’t mean you are on the side of the angels. The greed of too many of these union bosses has all but destroyed the labor movement in this country, helped chase away our jobs, and is killing the American dream.

6. That's why I say, I, like every American I'm speaking with,
we're ill about this position that we have been put in where it is the tax payers looking to bail out, but ultimately, what the bailout does is help those who are concerned about the healthcare reform that is needed to help shore up our economy, helping tho— it's got to be all about job creation too, shoring up our economy, and putting it back on the right track, so healthcare reform and reducing taxes and reining in spending has got to accompany tax reductions and tax relief for Americans. And trade, we've got to see trade as opportunity, not as— competitive— scary thing, but one in five jobs being created in the trade sector today, we've got to look at that as more opportunity. All those things under the umbrella of job creation. This bailout is a part of that.

10. Are you quoting Sister Sarah? Or are you Sarah? Your post
makes no sense whatsoever. Not sure what you want.. healthcare or tax reduction or a bail out...

12. It's Palin's quote from the Katie Couric interview
I thought it would be recognizable here. I agree that it makes no sense whatsoever.

13. I thought she appreciated and relly liked all the testoterone-t stuff
I clearly remember all the man-up comments, all the reminders of voilence that accompishes...something. So only the Tea Baggers are allowed to man-up and offer Second Amendment remedies?

16. lol.... hey Palin... weren't you the one who used a cross hair for an add
a cross-hair aimed at someone in the democratic party? Not only did you use it, it was pointed out to you how that ad might be seen but some nutcases, yet you left the way it was and then one of those dems you had a cross-hair over got a bullet in her head. Your ad was much worse than this man's words... you hypocrite!

18. WGAF what that vacuous grifter has to say about anything...
...either way this waste of air will be done this year...if she gets in she'll get slaughtered...if she doesn't she'll get side-lined...

Also, why isn't she wearing her wedding band anymore? Is there truth to the rumours of trouble with the Tawd the First Dood?

20. This from a woman who "didn't hear" one of her supporters
yell "Kill him!" (about Obama)-yet it was picked up by a mic and broadcast all over the news. She never ceases to amaze me.

Why does it take so long for Dems to discover that these bullies are all cardboard figures that can be blown over with the slightest puff of air.

How many years have we put up with their bullshit? Get outta the way! There's a country that needs help.

I"ve really got to add that without their guns, these people are nothing. Palin included. Although she also requires a copter.
