Ohio Democratic chairman: What’s up with these tea-party f***ers?
posted at 5:41 pm on September 22, 2010 by Allahpundit
Three reasons not to get too upset. One: Hey — it beats “teabagger.” Two: These days, you’re apt to hear worse language about tea partiers at a meeting of the Republican caucus in Congress. Three: Given the way things are going in Ohio, this tool’s likely to be unemployed in a few months. He’s under stress. Cut him some slack.
And no, he’s not sorry:
Let’s talk about what is truly obscene:
* Tea Partiers in Ohio compare President Obama to Hitler.
* They shout at town halls that President Obama is not an American.
* They harassed a victim of Parkinson’s disease in Columbus.
* And they engage in campaigns of lies and fear against our president, our governor, and others — all with the goal of keeping us silent and sitting at home.These tactics have no place in our politics, and I will NEVER apologize for speaking out forcefully against them. And let me be clear: I will not back down from the passion I feel about the issues impacting working families in this state.
You can watch the unedited clip here but if you’re looking for something a bit more comprehensive, replete with voter reaction, click the image below. Exit question: Newest tea party f***er — John Bolton?

Meanwhile, his original rant was made at a union hall in front of a bunch of union dudes.
Irony at its finest.
Bishop on September 22, 2010 at 5:45 PM
Maybe this would go over just fine if he were in New York, where the state bird is the middle finger, but I think Ohio may have a few problems with this.
teke184 on September 22, 2010 at 5:45 PM
He is the one throwing pejoratives and using profanity, but it someone else’s fault.
Not once chance of him taking responsibility for his words, he is very well suited to the party he is in.
Blarg the Destroyer on September 22, 2010 at 5:45 PM
The Tea Party is working.
It’s getting to them.
They can’t eat.
They can’t sleep.
Soon their hair will be falling out in clumps.
Keep it up Tea Party. You are causing both parties to freak out.
portlandon on September 22, 2010 at 5:46 PM
If we’re the f**kers, what does that make him?
Cicero43 on September 22, 2010 at 5:47 PM
Heh. So sadly true.
Weight of Glory on September 22, 2010 at 5:47 PM
Was he as impassioned when war protesters called returning soldiers baby killers? How about all the people comparing President Bush to hitler?
My personal favorite: “campaigns of lies and fear” Hello kettle.

Such a good example of someone living rent-free in someone else’s head. I love it.

Skandia Recluse on September 22, 2010 at 5:52 PM
That grey-haired nitwit they showed the video to is the epitome of the passive, moronic liberal voter immersed in their rhetoric. Sickening.
MadisonConservative on September 22, 2010 at 5:52 PM
Finally, a democrat with some balls, now if only he had a brain he just might be keeping his job.
abobo on September 22, 2010 at 5:53 PM
Wonder why he bothered apologizing for the language, it is quite typical at union meetings, anyhow the ones I have attended.
fourdeucer on September 22, 2010 at 5:53 PM
When angry and frustrated the f bomb will clear rooms, townhalls, whole cities.

I hate to be crass, but you asked:
The cornhole?
catmman on September 22, 2010 at 5:55 PM
If I never hear another politician utter the phrase “let me be clear” it will be too soon.
A Democratic politician knows nothing at all about how to be clear, nor about transparency in government. I know that when they utter that phrase that I should immediately start digging because it’s a signal that they’re hiding something important.
Harrell on September 22, 2010 at 5:55 PM
Buh-bye.
RedNewEnglander on September 22, 2010 at 5:55 PM
A little NancyBoy goes to talk to the Steelworkers union and felt … inadequate. So he fires up the tough-guy talk to sound like one of the boys.
He wants to give those Tea Party f*ckers such a look!
Jaibones on September 22, 2010 at 5:55 PM
A myriad of F-Bombs are going to clear a large part of congress this November…mostly the blue ones.
Eff ‘em.
Jaibones on September 22, 2010 at 5:57 PM
Well it must be sad to get your 15 minutes then go down in FLAMES .
Oh they ARE worried , WORRIED about investigations to be launched in January 2011, how many will be caught in the net of corruption as UNION officials are indicted ?

Grace_is_sufficient on September 22, 2010 at 5:58 PM
He’s a piker. Wisconsin ‘Rat chair Mike Tate can’t even say the right “T-word” when he cusses us out.
steveegg on September 22, 2010 at 5:58 PM
What rock has this DB been living under? Is he going to imply with a straight face that someone can’t easily pull up Youtubes of lib protesters yelling Bush is Hitler, Kenneth Gladney getting beaten by SEIU or leftists biting off fingers at healthcare protests? And keeping people silent? Its not the tea party suggesting net neutrality, bringing back the fairness doctrine, and dismissing slam dunk voter intimidation cases.
If dems lost the ability to be hypocritical I’m not sure we’d ever hear them speak at all.
Kataklysmic on September 22, 2010 at 5:58 PM
That’s OK. On Nov. 3rd he’ll be curled up fetal in the shower crying and sucking his thumb.

In: Whine twice as hard.
Dusty on September 22, 2010 at 5:59 PM
When you have nothing to say and you are losing the debate – cuss at people, call them names like bigot or racist. I am always surprised when the media says this combative nature on both sides, yet they cant show me members of the tea party using this kind of language.
pwb on September 22, 2010 at 6:01 PM
Why those union organizers are getting so mad, they might just go out and picket in person — instead of hiring people for minimum wage (no bennies) to do it for them.
Such passion.
GnuBreed on September 22, 2010 at 6:03 PM
Next up David Brooks and Mark Shields agree on this man’s passion.
Limerick on September 22, 2010 at 6:03 PM
I just drove through Cincinnatti last week. It’s a total sh!t hole. Maybe he should worry more about taking care of the problems in Ohio and leave the heavy lifting to those who are energizing American’s to take back our country.

Mitt Romney hair, khakis, penny loafers, and a button up. Throw in a few effenheimers and I was instantly reminded of a Harley-riding, Sturgis-attending badass.

milwife88 on September 22, 2010 at 6:06 PM
Au contraire, we don’t want you to keep silent. Keep talking! Please!
Buy Danish on September 22, 2010 at 6:07 PM
Cool your jets to those that fret about tea party infighting, at the end of the day…NONE of them will vote Dem/Socialist anyway. Let the debate rage on, in the end the RINOS will make nice and realize we need to get that Fraud out of the White House.

aww boo hoo. Hey, teabagee, was it good for you?
As for obscene, I guess he’s never been to a leftists’ demonstration. Or witnessed what the NEA’s funding thanks to his party.
simpler response…projection, typical, hatefilled leftist projection.
joeindc44 on September 22, 2010 at 6:12 PM
Totally unfair…Mitt’s hair is much manlier than that.
Jaibones on September 22, 2010 at 6:12 PM
I remember how passionate this guy was in the years before the last presidential election complaining about left wing attacks on the President, comparing him to Hitler, et al. NOT!
yubley on September 22, 2010 at 6:12 PM
Woot!!!
Just when the racist tag was starting to wear thin, now I’m a f***er!!
ButterflyDragon on September 22, 2010 at 6:12 PM
It’s amazing that the leftist response to criticism is to demonize. The Ace inspired ad featuring every lefty pol and talking head shouting racism has got to be made.
So, the deficit’s $2trillion? Racist
So, unemployment is high, racist.
So, we rammed healthcare through? racis.

He was at a USW hall? I guess the union hasn’t completely eradicated steel production in that Ohio – yet.

I feel so bad for my demorcrat friends in their pain as they envision the end of their fledgling careers in graft and corruption being brought to a swift end in November.

The citizens are tired of being frucked by his goons. He’ll get his on Nov. 02, 2010.
Schadenfreude on September 22, 2010 at 6:30 PM
He used the f-bomb and apologized to steelworkers?
I think steelworkers use it without blushing on a daily basis.
It’s a lovely sight to see a democrat in meltdown mode.
More, please.
tru2tx on September 22, 2010 at 6:33 PM
Notice that he’s not pooping his pants about the GOP, but the tea partiers.
So many messages packed in that there.
Akzed on September 22, 2010 at 6:33 PM
That’s an excellent observation.
TheBigOldDog on September 22, 2010 at 6:36 PM
Wow. What’s really obscene is the amount of straw that must have been used to construct all those straw men.
I mean really, Are those tea party rallies just full of signs that say “I hate people with Parkinson’s”? You really have to be deluding yourself to so blatantly avoid what the tea party people are really angry about.
Oh, and where were you to complain about the obscenity when stuf like this was happening?
Scrappy on September 22, 2010 at 6:37 PM
Now THAT, is the most astute observation of all…so far…bravo!!!

I can smell the cluelessness. I think by now, anyone who’s confused about the message of the teaparty (hint: it ain’t about parkinsons disease) should ask. It’s idiotic that right before getting slaughtered, these dems are whiningly repeating year old cliches.

Democrat Party (Ruling class)
Republican Party (Establishment class)
Tea Party (of the people, by the people, for the people)
The Republican party had better wise up!
Keemo on September 22, 2010 at 7:02 PM
Ummmmm I seem to recall all of those things, and worse has been done by Democrats, to Republicans, and Tea Partiers.
And I don’t recall any of what this man says, being on the news, of any station? Go ahead, and use profanity. It won’t help you now. As one of the unemployed, maybe you’ll reap some of what your party has hurled onto the hard working,(but without jobs) Americans.
capejasmine on September 22, 2010 at 7:04 PM
Ya know what; these people calling us these pretty nasty names are going to become regular folk citizens once again very soon.
Just say-in…. Good ol’ Karma coming down the pipeline when these folks are made to answer for such behavior. Kinda like those in my area who were real loud and obnoxious when Obama was elected potus; throwing down some real trash talk… Now you can’t even find an Obama bumper sticker around these parts. Those loud mouths are hiding out in their homes.

Just a note to the blankers that were in the UNION HALL listening to this guy.
You might want to take the time to ask yourself how the SEIU can represent Unions in China or other countries when they would be looking at workers making $1 a day in some places. Mr. $150,000 a year AMERICAN UNION WORKER meet your new UNION BROTHER in Saalisi, Indonesia making $300 a year.
MMMMM, Question for FANCY AMERICAN UNION WORKER where you think business going to go when SEIU start marketing the Indonesian Union worker?
AMERICAN UNION WORKERS…….SOLD OUT BY YOUR OWN UNION BOSSES…….now who is the blankers in this Union Hall?
PappyD61 on September 22, 2010 at 11:31 PM
Well how bout those who
Disrespected our President for 8 years.
Who called him an idiot and a criminal.
Who attacked everyday citizens standing up for their rights.
Who spread vicious lies about our men and women in the military
and who led a campaign of fear and lies against the right?
Hell thats just those who are working today in the Senate, Congress and White House.

HellCat on September 23, 2010 at 1:19 AM
I wonder if Jefferson or Adams or that old bunch used foul language during a speech. The “dem party chair” here should put a language scrubber over his mouth. Or some kind of converter. Do such devices exist? If not they should. Obama might even sound coherent with such a device. Less bulky than teleprompters and run on batteries.
