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.
“We got a not-so-veiled threat,†Humprhies told me. “The Sheriff’s deputies told me to stay away from public places.â€
The Pima County Sheriff’s Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Humphries said the threats have coincided with Saturday’s shooting and began nearly right away.
“We had people say, ‘too bad it wasn’t your family that was killed,’†Humphries told me. Other angry calls have come in as well. “‘The blood of that little girl on your hands,’†Humphries recalled one message saying.
But it was a new call that came in this week that Humphries said had him staying out of public view for a while.
“It was something like ‘we hate you and we’re going to stand against you and we’re going to use our First and Second Amendment rights to stop you,’†Humphries told me.
Nice work, Sheriff Dupnik.

Good job, Dupnik.
Oh and, DU, go **** yourself. Stop with your "we ain't violent peepz."
Again, the Tea Party had NOTHING to do with this shooting. Jared Loughner was just a NUT in general. Everyone in the media should be ashamed of themselves, including the Sheriff of Pima County. He definitely needs to step down now.

Update: The caller-ID for Trent Humphries home phone has shown that many calls were from the sheriff's office.
:fuelfire:
ETA: This was a joke.

Amen!
So much for the "hate" and the "violent rhetoric" of the Right, huh? So much for the liberals being the "peaceful" ones and the "progressive" ones.
Hypocrites, each and every last one. Two-faced, gutless, lying hypocrites. Whitewashed tombs which are pretty on the outside and full of decrepit filth inside.
Shame on you all.
And... what's with all the calls from the sheriff? What does that dope think the Tea Party is up to? Why not go make some phone calls and track down some of those illegal aliens or native-born criminals that I'm sure are to be found in Pima County? Why harass law-abiding citizens who believe in the Constitution?
I guess he has to cover his ass and his job, since a congresswoman almost got murdered (and a federal judge and a nine year-old child got murdered) on his watch.
