Capuano Calls for Blood at Pro-union Rally

By Matt Murphy,

Congressman Mike Capuano must have lost the memo from President Obama and Democratic leaders who were demanding more civility in our political discourse and a toning down of incendiary rhetoric after the massacre in Tucson on January 8. Yesterday, at a rally on Beacon Hill, Capuano couldn't resist the urge to stir up a crowd of union members with a call for blood in the pursuit and protection of their political agenda.

Capuano's comments included: "This is going to be a struggle at least for the next two years. Let's be serious about this. They're not going to back down and we're not going to back down. This is a struggle for the hearts and minds in America," Capuano said, refering to the Tea Party counter-protesters as a "couple of nuts in the background."

"I'm proud to be here with people who understand that it's more than just sending an e-mail to get you going. Every once and awhile you need to get out on the streets and get a little bloody when necessary." he continued.
