MISSION ACCOMPLISHED… Tucson Tea Party Leader Receives Death Threats This Week
gateway pundit ^ | 1/12/11 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 01/12/2011 1:25:58 PM PST by Nachum

After blaming the tea party for the mass slaughter on Saturday one tea party leader is receiving death threats. The sheriff’s office told Tucson tea party leader Trent Humphries to stay home.

The Tuscon Tea Party leader started receiving death threats since the shootings at the Safeway on Saturday. Talking Points Memo reported, via Free Republic:

Trent Humphries, the leader of the largest tea party group in this mourning southern Arizona city, has nothing but praise for the way President Obama has led the nation through the aftermath of Saturday’s mass shooting at a constituent event for Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ). But Humphries won’t be there tonight when Obama speaks at a memorial rally intended to unify Tucson after six people were killed in the tragedy.

Humphries says he’s been getting threats at his home from people who seem to hold him and his organization partially responsible for the shootings Saturday.

Humphries told TPM he’s called the Sheriff’s department more than once in the past few days to make them aware of threatening phone calls.

Mr. Humphreys, take your weapon when you leave home. Take advantage of the 2d Amd. Protect yourself from coward liberals who do not have the guts to face you. They can only shoot you in the back. Dimocrats are cowards. Liberals are cowards. Pure and simple. Cowards.

Radicals like Deputy Dupenuts are stirring up more violence, and they should be held responsible for agitating the leftist lunatics.

It appears as though “Sheriff” Dipstik’s vitriol and heated rhetoric is starting to take hold in his “Mecca of prejudice and bigotry”.

“Humphries told TPM he’s called the Sheriff’s department more than once in the past few days to make them aware of threatening phone calls.”

Good to be on record, but with that Sheriff death threats don’t get past his doughnut and cup of coffee apparently as the killer Loughner was reported to the Sheriff for death threats multiple times prior to the shootout at the Safeway store.

The propaganda is achieving its desired end. Not just intimidating your opponents, but making sure your own don’t consider changing sides, don’t listen to Palin, don’t listen to the tea party folks.

Most of the violence in America comes from the Left and has for decades. This administration is the first, though, to openly promote physical intimidation of its opponents as a tactic.

The thugs and revolutionaries around Obama are kicking this game up to a whole new level. Blood libel has consequences and the consequences are premeditated and intentional. And self-justifying.

Seems the narrative is working in part.

The unhinged will start attacking the Tea party.

Yeah, I don’t think he wants to carry at the memorial service. ‘Tea Partier Brings Gun To Obama Event’. He’s damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t.

The only media influences Loughner had were violent Hollywood films and Violent California Video games.

Both are major DNC political campaign contributors.

That one ranks up there with voter intimidation at the hands of the black pampers.

I think an aggressive analysis from where those “threats” come from might be interesting.....

"The sheriff’s office told Tucson tea party leader Trent Humphries to stay home.

If this was the Pima County Sheriffs dept. then this is the first time the Dupnik headed dept. has been proactive in the face of death threats.

Interesting that they chose to "help" a conservative by restricting his movements.

The Sherriff is the one who’s responsible for it, because for all of the nonsense that he’s been spreading about the whole incident, it’s been HIM and his side that have riled up the kooks. he should be ashamed of himself.
