I would only hope that the SPLC would be so fair minded to identify the many, many public and published speeches by leftists calling for violence. Oh wait how silly of me, they'd have to start with key lefty leaders... AFL-CIO leader Richard Trumka anyone:<br /><br /> Below are some of his incendiary comments.<br />“UMWA President Richard Trumka…urged union members to…‘kick the (expletive) out of every last one of ‘em.’†(“Sabotage Attempt Foiled at Peabody Coal Beltline.†Nashville News [Nashville, IL] 8 Sept. 1993)<br />“You’d have to be very naïve to believe that if management brought in scabs, there won’t be something somewhere.â€(Sands, David R. “Striking miners: Big Coal not serious.†Washington Times 3 Sept. 1993)<br />“I’m saying if you strike a match and you put your finger in it, you’re likely to get burned. That doesn’t mean I’m threatening to burn you. That just means if you strike the match, and you put your finger in it, common sense will tell you it’ll burn your finger.â€( McClain, John D. “Violence possible UMW chief says.†Virginian-Pilot [Hampton Roads, VA] 3 Sept.1993)
