The very notion that NOW those same Hateful people are taking offense at inflammatory rhetoric being directed at them from "the left"..!?! </span><span></span><span>Yeah. Right. They're a joke…lol.   Nonetheless: Personally, I do NOT condone Hoffa's remarks. Stooping to the level of right-wing extremists is NOT the answer for Democrats. But neither is kissing the rear-end of right-wingers who insist the President should denounce Hoffa's remarks.     Clearly, Hoffa did the President no favors with his comments and under normal circumstances (the President being the Class-act that he is) Pres. Obama probably would like to denounce some of Hoffa's heated language.   However, since becoming President, Obama has allowed himelf to be painted as a "weakling" and his "base" feeling demoralized by that perception is chomping at the bit for some "Man-Up" red-meat of their own, which I think now leaves the President in a rather precarious position.    He may want to denounce Hoffa's comments. But politically can he afford to do it?    I don't think so.  </span>
