(Politico) — Republican Rep. Allen West slammed the Obama administration on “Fox and Friends” Wednesday for not condemning Teamsters President Jimmy Hoffa’s call for workers to wage war on the tea party and “take these son-of-a-bitches out.”
West said that Hoffa’s remarks, made at President Barack Obama’s Monday Labor Day rally in Detroit, have “no place in the political discourse of this country” and he called on the president to denounce them.
West likened Hoffa’s call to both the movie “Patton,” best known for its depiction of World War II Gen. George S. Patton’s speech to U.S. troops the day before D-Day, and to Saul Alinsky, who wrote “Rules for Radicals” and is considered the founder of community organizer.
“Perhaps Mr. Hoffa was going back over the weekend and he watched the movie ‘Patton’ where you know Patton gave that incredible speech before the Third Army and he tried to mimic that,” West said. “But it has no place in the political discourse in this country. I think what you see happening is that in order to stir up the liberal base, they have to demonize a certain entity and that entity they have chosen is the tea party.”
West added that Democrats are trying to ignore the failures of the Obama administration by turning to “a Saul Alinsky type of tactic.”
