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.”
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.

Death threats are called in every day and always made by cowards that can't do shit, hiding in a safe room becouse of that however is positively unpatriotic and an even more cowardly act.

If police had actually traced the calls, I'm sure that they would have found out that the calls were coming from inside of his own house. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED is right. His own family finally has him right where they've always wanted his sorry ass. Frighten out of his own mind.
His wife and children probably can't even stand him. He even looks like a scared ass chicken shit.

Sigh... the circle of violence is a vicious one. I don't think that he should be receiving death threats. First of all because it will not really accomplish anything constructive. Second, because he is not the single cause, if he is really any cause, of the shootings.
The biggest case against him is that the Tea Party which he leads has been very threatening and aggressive in a few circumstances, and he hasn't really taken control of the party to either stop or prevent such things from reoccurring. Unfortunately returning violent threats to the Tea Parties general leader is only going to perpetuate a cycle of tension in which something like the Tucson shooting will be more likely to happen again.

Advocating death threats and death on someone who's a follower is wrong... so the only "mission accomplished" done here, is that these people that are calling him, are now just like the racists and bigots of our country.

The left wing spread their hate on the Tea party because they didn't agree with Obama

I've seen a lot more hate coming from the tea party than I have seen going into it. Not to say that they're all a bunch of extreme conservatives who flirt with the border of being annoying and being an asshole, but a decent chunk of them are and it's enough to make the whole party look really really bad despite what good others try to do with it.
