Quotes about Jimmy Hoffa

Red Buttons

Jacques Cousteau, the last man to see Jimmy Hoffa. Never got a dinner!

Michelle Malkin

Barack Obama and Jimmy Hoffa are like Tweedledum and Tweedledee, Lady Gaga and hype, the 'Jersey Shore' cast and hairspray: inseparable. The president can no more disown the Teamsters Union's leader than he can disown his own id.

Louis Stokes

There was a man who was an associate of jimmy Hoffa, who testified against Hoffa in his trial down in Tennessee. We had information from him that he and Hoffa did, in fact, discuss the planning of an assassination conspiracy against Bobby Kennedy.

Vincent Bugliosi

Waiting for the conspiracy theorists to tell the truth is a little like leaving the front-porch light on for Jimmy Hoffa.

Gore Vidal

I shared, naturally, in that hatred of organized labor which has been the one political constant in my lifetime…. No alternative view of organized labor has ever come to us through the popular media. If labor leaders were not crooks like Jimmy Hoffa, they were in the pay of Moscow.

This quotation is extremely subtle. Vidal tells us that he has always hated organized labor. He also tells us that the media has always given us one monolithic view of organized labor. He is silent as to whether that view was accurate and justified or in his mind or whether he was just going along with the image created by the media. There is no answer, but it is a quotation that is food for thought. Numerous studies found that at the beginning of the 21st century, the public view of labor union crooked and/or communist leaders was much worse than reality.
