On the Hoffa statement and the RW...and history

[nadinbrzezinski]

First let's start with the Right...



Now I bring this to your attention since BOTH the Nazis and the Fascists, and later the Franquist, as three major examples...there are more...acused labor of the same exact things the RW is accusing Hoffa. Labor is calling for violence..labor wants riots, labor wants blood to flow.

I wish I was making this up, but this is the exact same accusation. You may not want to believe this, but these ducks are indeed quacking. And for the record...nazis are just one type of fascists.

What's not to believe. I thought this was common historical knowledge.

One of the very first groups Hitler rounded up and threw into prisons and later concentration camps were union leaders.

2. Oh you'd be amazed

At how many folks don't know this. For the record so did Mussolini...Franco, they fled Spain

15. Thanks... Alas this is not a good thing either

The anemic dem response reminds me of the sdp.

16. In fairness, a lot of regular people dislike unions

I mean when you talk about class warfare, some think less about the millionaires and more about the guy making $100k, plus better healthcare, plus more time off, plus pension, etc., while most of us (if we're lucky) make half that amount and no pension.

Just to be fair... it's a fact that many people dislike unions. There are few people beyond union members themselves, and the extremely progressive, who are able to get past the jealousy factor.

Personally, I'd like to see everyone have a livable wage. I do not see unions standing in opposition of that.

BUT, I'm just mentioning this because this is the reality of most voters. This whole Nazi agenda thing is just sort of ridiculous, IMO.

[nadinbrzezinski]

17. Just because there are echoes...

...

For the record dislike of unions is also due to powerful propaganda techniques related to these duckies...see big lie.

[DaveJ]

19. Perhaps unions should hire better PR reps

Have unions ever considered making an effort to do improve their image using PR experts? Are they so old school that this idea sounds ridiculous?

[nadinbrzezinski]

20. They do...perhaps instead of blaming victims you should look at the big picture

See bif lie...and the meme you used..."regular people." tell me who do you think belongs to a union? Martians?
