It’s Not Just the Politicians… Wisconsin Tea Party Leaders Receive Death Threats

It begins. The violent left is threatening to kill tea party leaders for supporting Governor Scott Walker’s budget reduction bill.

The Brookfield Patch reported:
Police are increasing patrols near the Brookfield home of a state tea party leader who has pushed for greater health and pension concessions from public employees after he received a veiled death threat over the weekend.
Wisconsin Tea Party Patriots State Coordinator Michael Hintze told police when he answered a call on his cell phone about 2:30 p.m. Saturday, a male voice “asked if he was wearing a bullet-proof vest” and then hung up.
The caller’s identity had been blocked, and AT&T could not trace the call, which came up as a “private caller.” Police likely will be unable to trace the call since it was blocked, Police Capt. Jim Adlam said Monday.
Hintze asked for increased patrols near his Brookfield residence and planned to purchase equipment that would allow future calls, should they occur, to be traced. Extra patrols are occurring.
Adlam said there was not a history of problems or threats to Hintze.
Hintze told police he believed the call was targeting Hintze for his role as the tea party leader. He said his cell phone number is listed on a tea party web site.

One thing to remember people: you can block ALL incoming calls that do not have caller ID information.
kansas commented:
Really can’t be assured the threats aren’t coming from police.
Bitter Clinger commented:
I fear that all these threats of violence will ignite and our country will erupt in flames. Obama and his merry band of henchmen/women and professional thugocracy will have won the day. Pray for our country. Not sure how much longer we can hold out before 1/20/13. Hate to sound like an alarmist but Rome is burning and Obama is picking brackets! Many thanks to the parasite class, ACORN, union goons, and Wall Street whores who elected him.

The parallels in history:
—————
http://www.hitler.org/writings/Mein_Kampf/mkv2ch12.html
“In the present state of affairs I am convinced that we cannot possibly dispense with the trades unions. On the contrary, they are among the most important institutions in the economic life of the nation. Not only are they important in the sphere of social policy but also, and even more so, in the national political sphere. For when the great masses of a nation see their vital needs satisfied through a just trade unionist movement the stamina of the whole nation in its struggle for existence will be enormously reinforced thereby.”
– Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, Volume II, Chapter XII

#3 Bitter- maybe better IWonWTF is picking brackets. I’ve found that when you don’t know what to do, often the best course of action is to do nothing – and at least he cannot do any more harm!

The worst part is that if anything were to happen to one of the TEA Party members, the JournOList media would do everything in their power to blame the Right or just try to ignore the story as much as possible. Limbaugh was correct when he called these guys the State Run Media. They have fallen *that* far.
IronDioPriest commented:
This union thugocracy is getting out of control. Someone is going to end up getting killed, and that will play right into Obama’s hands.
If violence erupts, our only hope of remaining a free nation of civil laws and discourse is for a vast majority of Americans to perceive and understand that the violence has come from the Left, and hold the Left accountable.
If this government is allowed ANY excuse to pin violence on everyday conservative Americans, it will make its move, and civil options will then be exhausted.
american patriot commented:
This is simply the process of separating the wheat from the tares.
It will be good to know who stands with America’s principles as expressed in the DoI, in the 1787 Constitution, and in the state constitutions of limited, contained government whose sole purpose is to serve the people, all of the people. Decidedly America’s principles do not allow for the government to control the people without the people having something to say about it.
This WI business has hardened the battle lines even more. That is a good thing. It’s better to know who will stand with you and who opposes you.
Leftists, big government types versus the rest of us.
serfer1962 commented:
If violance erupts it will be the Kommiecrats worst nightmare. First it will be a local condition, then statewide where The Win cannot intervene. I suspect it will then spread as guerrila warfare where again national intervention is not applicable.
What will then happen is urban blacks will riot (of course) nullifying federal control there too. BUT then the populace reaction will start and radicals will be overwhelmed.
By then OHbama will be boxed in, to declare an National Emergency will need to count on the very people he despises, the guard & military. Are they really going to support suppression? I doubt it.
Expect an attempt to confiscate guns the quickly fizzels
Edouard commented:
This climate full of left-wing bullying is not the kind of America I want, and not the kind of America most people want.
The kind of America in which death threats are made to reinforce political agendas?
Leave that for the third-world sewage holes of the world.
Death-threat making menaces need to be relentlessly pursued and vigorously prosecuted, to get them off the streets into prison and away from decent people.
Valerie commented:
This kind of bullying is actually quite common. When I spoke out against the local Usual Suspects in Maryland, I got my cars keyed. A gentleman I was working with was asked to run for local office, and was threatened with a boycott of his business if he did so.
I think it is time to make all such threats public, including either the name of the person making the threat, or the efforts that person made to be anonymous.
Sunshine kills germs.
Stuart commented:
Death threats indeed, and on the Ides of March no less.

tommy mc donnell commented:
this is what happens when union members let people like michael moore and jesse jackson take over their protest. now your not fighting for collective bargaining rights, your fighting to over throw the government. for almost two years tea parties held protests without anyone being threathened or any acts of vandalism. now the college brats are involved and you get this type of activity. they seem to think its a return to the sixties, its really cool man. well i was in college in the sixties and it was not a cool time man. it was a very destructive time in america fueled by a hate-filled group that called themselves the “love generation.”
pj commented:
This just beginning folks ,strap on your setbelts.Obama knows he cannot win without the unions and the unions will do whatever it can to scare people into doing what they want.Folks we cannot lose this fight are our republic is over.
L.E. Liesner commented:
It seems that Organized Labor and Organized Crime are synonymous. The only difference is law enforcement agencies will persue criminal racketeers but will cuddle and even join labor racketeers. There are laws about companies becoming monoplies, but unions have the right to be a monoply to the point that workers have to join the union to be able to work. Now if that isn’t un- American what the hell is?
Ema commented:
I remember it was no too long ago when 10 democrats in Congress were receiving death threats over their support of national health care and one was actually shot in the head. I remember the members of the tea party crying about how unfair it was that they were all being depicted as crazy supporters of the attempt to kill someone who was in opposition of them. Memory is short indeed. This is a case of two crazy loons at the end of their rope. What they did was wrong. But, don’t forget, there are crazy loons on both sides. Or is it ok only when republicans issue death threats against democrats?
redc1c4 commented:
i remember when Ema was making junk up, just to claim moral equivalence so as to excuse the illegal activity her side gleefully engages in… seems like that was just today.
redc1c4 commented:
i don’t believe for a moment that the phone company and the cops can’t trace the call, but i can believe they don’t want to.
and Ema? the shooter in Arizona you refer to? he was another liberal, just like you: crazy and stupid.
aprilnovember811 commented:
Obama can’t win with the unions. There aren’t enough of them. Where’s his birth certificate. A poll taken in the NY Daily News today said 68% don’t believe he was born here. They’re right.
aprilnovember811 commented:
They can trace the call.
Gort commented:
The police state they cannot find out who made the calls, they are lying. Maybe they don’t want to know.
MadJ commented:
Well, folks, you had better make sure you are prepared and so had the folks in WI. Leftists by nature have NO conscience and will get violent.
PRAY that this nation turns back to God
kay commented:
I’m curious to see how this will play out. Will tea party people and conservatives pack up, sell their belongings and move to a red state, leaving Wisconsin to the wolves to pick over bones?
I wonder what people will do when they are met with true threats of violence: change your tune or face a life where you will be shunned and can’t make a living.
The blue states get bluer, the red states get redder, and then….what? and another thing: how long before people start packing their bags? how long before they decide to move to a red state? or vice versa and those that are in a red state and are liberal move to a blue state?
the question becomes: how long can a person mentally stay in a place where they are not wanted and actively pushed out?
ogee commented:
They want to incite Tea Partiers to riot and have been unsuccessful in doing so in WI etc. Keep ignoring them.
Their antics will backfire.
How so Granny?
ogee commented:
Blocked calls are ruled by the “privacy laws” so they can’t disclose.
Josh commented:
I live in Wisconsin and I’m a tea party member. Where’s my death threat? I invite the cowards to try. I’ve got some 9pm hollow points that say they won’t be successful in snuffing me out. Any of you cowards looking here to find more Walker supporters and tea party members to threaten, here I am 262-325-7561. Try me
trp commented:
The union thugs will discover that tea partiers quite prepared to defend themselves, their families, their property, if threatened.
Josh commented:
Stupid preemptive text, that’s 9mm not 9pm
common man commented:
I was listening to Charlie Sykes yesterday morning he said that letters are being send to businessmen around the state importuning them to oppose Gov.Walker.
John commented:
Threatening the people who pay your salary is not a good idea
