AFL-CIO President Says Beck, Limbaugh ‘Pushed Open the Door to Hate’ After 9/11

AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka released a statement Friday commemorating the 10th anniversary of Sept. 11 — and promptly turned it into a political opportunity to bash Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Karl Rove and other conservatives for opening “the door to hate” in the decade since the attacks:

Wealthy CEOs, anti-government extremist front groups and frothing talk show hosts—from the Rush Limbaughs and Glenn Becks to the Koch brothers, Karl Rove’s American Crossroads group, Americans for Prosperity, the Club for Growth, FreedomWorks and the American Legislative Exchange Council—also pushed open the door to hate.

Despite the unity Americans first felt in the wake of 9/11, that hate has led to “ill-thought wars,” the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and attacks on immigrants and members of the LGBT community, Trumka said. It is also responsible for a racist conspiracy against President Barack Obama:

We saw it in the racism that has found overt and covert expression since Barack Obama began his run for office—from outright declarations of people who said out loud they would never vote for a black man to the ridiculously persistent obsession with our president’s birth certificate. Regardless of his policies or priorities, President Obama is shadowed by the drumbeat of suspicion based on his “other”-ness. And those suspicions are fed and watered constantly by forces that were threatened by his message of “hope and change.”

Trumka, who attended Thursday‘s speech as the president’s guest, said workers have been “vilified” by the “extremist small government posse” that has turned them into “public enemy No. 1.” In state after state this year, politicians have gone after the “paychecks, benefits and basic rights“ of workers and sought to pit them against each other ”in a rabid campaign to shift government support to tax breaks for the wealthy and already profitable corporations.”

Can't we just...never mind. (http://www.theblaze.com/stories/afl-cio-president-says-beck-limbaugh-pushed-open-the-door-to-hate-after-911/)

So, then, one could infer that Mr. Trumka shows sympathy for the terrorists.

Jus' sayin' . . .

This Trumka character is like an obnoxiously drunk best man at a wedding who turns the toast into an embarrassing train wreck before passing out and doing a face plant in the cake.

I am lovin' it! I hope nobody gets the mic away from this retard.  :-)

I'm guessing it was Beck listeners and Rush listeners who stormed the port in Washington state, right?
Since we are the hateful ones it had to be us.  :whatever:

Trumka is heavily playing the race card and bashing Obama's enemies with it, again.  It seems to me that he has met with Obama many times, as well as other union thugs.  I can't help but wonder if recently ObeyWon promised the unions something big, and the proof they needed was in his speech.

If a primary challenger shows up, I'm betting the unions abandon Lord O
