Tucson Tea Party Chair Warned to ‘Stay Away From Public Places’

Though he says he has been “very impressed” with the way President Obama has steered the nation through the aftermath of last Saturday’s shooting, Tucson tea party leader Trent Humphries was not in attendance for Obama‘s remarks at Wednesday evening’s memorial rally.

Humphries has been instructed by police to “stay away from public places” after he and his family received numerous threats from people who seem to hold him and his organization responsible for Jared Lee Loughner’s shooting rampage.

“We got a not-so-veiled threat,” Humphries told TPM. “The Sheriff’s deputies told me to stay away from public places.”

“We had people say, ‘too bad it wasn’t your family that was killed,’” Humphries explained. “‘The blood of that little girl on your hands.’”

But it was one call in particular that had Humphries afraid for his family’s safety Wednesday. “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,’” he said.

Humphries said this week‘s threats are not the only ones he’s received since founding the Tucson tea party in 2009. During the 2010 midterm election campaign season, his family was force to switch to an unlisted phone number.

One of Saturday‘s victims was Humphries’ neighbor.

And though he believes most threats wouldn’t ultimately be carried out, “I have a wife and kids,” he said, agreeing with law enforcement authorities that the safest place for his family right now would be out of public sight.

———-
The UK‘s Guardian interviewed Humphries shortly after last Saturday’s shooting to ask him what role (if any) he felt the tea party played in the shooting. Here’s what he had to say:

    Sad Lefties feel they have to ruin people’s lives for political gain…

      Sarah Palin brought it on herself. She was asked to tone down the rhetoric and she refused.

      Sarah Palin is suffering from a serious case of foot in mouth disease. It seems that idiotic statements are not a choice to her, but a lifestyle. She has become a lightning rod for hate.

    The Progressive-Left, in true form, are using this tragic event to shut up their opposition. Their true colors are coming out. This is who they are.

    For this UK Guardian guy to feed into their frenzy is an indication that they’re getting on the blame-game bandwagon, which is not surprising, coming from the Guardian.

    To even suggest that this is the fault of the Tea Party is absolutely beyond the pale. The Tea Party are law-abiding people who want to restore the Constitution and the Republic. They stand for limited government and freedom.

    This senseless act of violence is the sole responsibility of the crazy gunman himself, irregardless of his political leanings, which, in this case, was more toward the Left since a few of his favorite books were Mein Kampf and the Communist Manifesto and Loughner had intimated that he was unhappy that Rep. Giffords has voted against Pelosi. This gunman’s ramblings were incoherent and he had been kicked out of school, rejected by the military, and he had made threats to law enforcement.

    Does that sound anything like a Tea Partier or any conservative? I don’t think so.

    This is more of the same of the Progressive-Left using a tragic event to further their partisan agenda of never letting a crisis go to waste. It is partisan politics at it’s worst!

    This is precisely why Obama has come to be known as the Divider-in-Chief. He could choose to put an end to it but he chooses to feed into it for partisan gain, which is to shut his opposition up!

    Let’s end this blame-game now, and let’s hold the gunman responsible for his horrific act of violence because he is the one who pulled the trigger.

      Hey Blazers – I have GOOD NEWS!!!
      The fact that these progressive geniuses:
      Whiteteaparty,
      Killafromwasilla,
      AKMEIIKEUS,
      et al,
      are becoming more involved is proof positive that there is poo – poo in their pants.
      They remind me of cockAroaches, well no, not exactly, because cockAroaches mostly stay hidden.
      They remind me more of wolf spiders. When I had a wood shop, the wolf spiders were little pretend badasses… they would come at you – charge, but not fast enough in retreat to escape a well placed
      boot.
      Cocky, but dumb as, well, dumb spidery – thingies.
      Must suck to be you guys, WTP, KFW and AKM (whatever)
      Best medicine for these geniuses is pure non attention. Just like you’d treat a spoiled little brat.
      Well, I obviously didn’t follow my own advice. Perhaps fellow Blazers can learn from my mistake.
      Love,

      “… climate that has created an atmosphere of aggression …”

      It’s OK to be aggressive with those who wish to take your unalienable rights and enslave you. The Progressives in government are violating their oath to the Constitution, and the danger for the People in allowing that to happen is a “climate” of repression which has often in history lead to government abuses of power.

      So, when we talk about about our First and Second Amendment rights, we’re talking about staving off tyrannical government. This is our lives we’re talking about here, and that’s the reason for the aggressive, albeit DEFENSIVE, climate and language.

      Some prominent Lefty MSM televison and radio personalities as well as Lefty syndicated political cartoonists (Ted Rall being the most vocal) and Lefty bloggers have been openly rooting for “Revolution” and calling for “Violence and Unrest” since long before this tragedy occurred.

      It darn well almost amazes me the gall the Left has asserting that they have zero culpability in anything and everything when it comes to the destruction and demise this country is going through when the polar opposite is the -TRUTH-, and right before everyone’s eyes. But like I said, “almost”. I already know that they have nearly no morals, nor scruples, and are so narrow sighted that they’d sooner pour kerosene on the fire than make a feeble attempt to extinguish it just so they could have their way. Indeed, the Left are quite unscrupulous.

Neither side has a leader that says “shut the eff up, let’s all be Americans” Except for Glenn Beck, and he is called a “hate-filled racisr” Well, how bout you all on the left listen to him and stop hating him? And how bout all of uss on the right stop responding to those on here who incite us to respond! We are ALL Americans, dammit, and we should all act like we are Americans! Now i lay the initial blame squarely on the lib instigators whocome here with no foundation of fact and spew lies and distortions, but at the same time, those of us here who respond in kind have equal culpability. We all need to calm down, gather our breath, and think a minute.

      Just for you Tea Party bashers – do you not realize the ignorance in your statements? Seriously .. First off, you are defending a bunch of delusional psychos who are threatening a man and his family. Secondly, you are attacking an entire group of people based on their beliefs. Hmm .. isn’t that what your regressive buddies say NOT to do with Blacks, Hispanics, Muslims, etc? What’s the difference? Do you suffer from some kind of mental illness that makes you incapable of realizing your hypocritical double-standards? You folks disgust me.

      Come on! About the “racist comments on Mexican-Americans” post from earlier .. uh .. nobody bashes Mexican-Americans. They bash ILLEGAL IMMAGRINTS! KEY WORD: ILLEGAL! I have not seen any true racist posts on here. I’ve seen posts about stopping the invasion of our southern border! Sure! I’ve seen posts about enforcing the law and protecting our border! SURE! Heck I’ve seen posts for people calling for the MEXICAN govt to enforce the same code they enforce on their SOUTHERN border on the US border! What’s that punishment? DEATH! You are gunned down! Well, why don’t they do that on the NORTHERN border? Hmm .. no answer, eh?

      The fact is you people are a bunch of statists and hypocrites who live by no moral code or standards. Both of you are delusional, to take it a step further. Tea Party folks want nothing more than for us to go back to constitutional principles. That’s what Sarah Palin wants as well. You say she’s become a lightening rod for hate? SURE! The leftist media and psychotic, un-american politicians and pundits HATE HER! WHY? Because she’s a threat to regressive agendas everywhere! The woman knows what’s right and is willing to risk her life and reputation to make sure our constitution is justly upheld. If you elitist punks knew anything ABOUT the constitution, you’d realize that the Tea Party is RIGHT about low spending, small govt, lower taxes, and PRETTY MUCH everything their main supporters are speaking out on. Not everything, but generally, it’s true. Maybe if you geniuses didn’t watch so much MSNBC and read so much HUFFPO, NYT, and Wash Post you’d get a big dose of REALITY.

      When the Government is broke and cannot give out checks anymore, the game will be up and a civil war between the LEFT will erupt. The LEFT that is poor and Unionozed will blame the LEFT elitists that rule them now (probably a few RINOs will be in there too)…Bank on it!

      rogue, Tomorrow Evolves America
      Let me see if I am understanding these threads, starting with the original video.

      It would seem the interviewer assumes, and fully asserts, the tea party has to have some culpability for the Saturday tragedy. The assumed argument appears to go something like, ‘Well since the tea party favors the Constitution, which has the Second Amendment, and a gun was used, the whole tea party is certainly partially, or equally guilty, as the triggerman.’ Which makes about as much sense as, ‘Well since the triggerman was a drug users and liberals are known for drugs and their legalization, the liberals, a matter of fact, any one who has ever abused drugs, is equally guilty.’ These are petty days full of petty arguments.

      Then here, meaning above, we get a burst of twists, equally as petty. Palin obviously strikes great fear. If she was 10 times the women some make her out to be, she would still be a petty nobody, of no concern. So, why so much rant over someone you hold in such low esteem… unless you fear, your assessment is all wrong? Either lock her up for some crime, or give her as much as you hope we give you. Those who strive so hard to spew and insight so much hatred, are a vast sea of hypocritical nonsense. I certainly do not expect anyone to give up their child-like bantering. Please, please, do keep it up. I certainly do not expect anyone to suddenly turn to the substantive concerns of today, let alone tomorrow.

      I for one do not think this latest tragedy will make this Nation turn for the worse. I certainly do not fear more… and believe me, at times speaking my First Amendment mind on sites like this has wrenched my guts, often, over the last couple of years. No, greater civility will prevail, by all, from all and for all. But it will not emerge overnight. Greater substance, truer substance will take hold. First, remember we do have a new House which has already made a historical start. There is no end in sight as to what they will do. Second, do not visit the pumps. Turn your eyes away from the signs that appear to know unending height. Change, change and change again marches upward, oh tanks. Most of us know who has held that hope the longest. Higher prices at the pump surely must be bringing joy to one political prophet. Third, Gabby will likely recover, she will likely visit and be perplexed over the talk, while she slept and healed. Someday, she will speak her mind again. We might all wish to give a cheer. But if Gabby, proves to be Gabby, her wrath over these days may humble this nation as never before. A monster put a bullet through her head, but after these days get processed through her head, her condemnations of those who throw silly and false blame in pretense of her behalf, may be monstrous. Time heals and tells.

      KILLA FROM WASILLA, if Sarah Palin has become a “lightning rod for hate”, it isn’t because that is her choice, it is because she was designated the whipping post of the left, which is very sad to me. There are adults and kids everywhere who wish(ed) they had a mom like her, lived in a great state like Alaska with its beauty and opportunities, and could go on the adventures (tv or not) her children experience. Instead many are grow up without a dad, and a mom who is stretched to the limit because she is the only bread winner. Children deserve better than that and if you cared, truly cared, about this country and its citizens, you would want a representative who encourages prosperity, family and the love of country.

We have malfeceance in office at the very highest levels in the Executive Branch of our government, starting with the President, the Attorney General, and all the other cronies he has brought from the liberal marxist/socialist left. Oaths of allegiance to the United States and to protect and defend the Constitution and uphold the laws of the United States mean NOTHING to them. Only their ideology.
