PoliticoThe chairman of the Ohio Democratic Party is defiantly defending his use of the f-word to describe tea party critics of President Obama’s health care law, pledging in an e-mail to supporters that he will “never apologize for speaking out forcefully against them.”
"And don't any of you m*****f*****s call me 'foul-mouthed,' either!"
Chairman Chris Redfern was caught on tape Monday night using the expletive as he attempted to arm supporters at a union forum with an argument to use against the presidentÂ’s critics.
“Now he or she gets health care, your health care, while he or she looks for a new job. In the very base terms, we win these arguments and every time one of these f***ers says — excuse my language,” Redfern said, using a variation of the f-word, according to a video clip posted by Wheeling, Ohio, television station WTOV.
"F***in' YouTube!"
The clip went viral, and in an e-mail sent Wednesday afternoon, Redfern defended his remark and attempted to blame the tea party for denigrating the level of dialogue.
"It's your f***in' fault I'm using so many G**d***ed f***in' swearwords!"
