As the petulant high-pitched whining of the right wing blogosphere reaches fever pitch, Teamsters president James Hoffa is not retreating: Teamsters President: ‘No Regrets’ After Fiery Speech Draws Right-Wing Criticism.

Hoffa riled up Fox News and the right wing Monday with a Labor Day speech in Detroit in which he called Republican members of Congress “sons of bitches” and said union workers are ready to “go to war” with the tea party next year and “take out” Republicans at the ballot box.
