Leftist Threatens to Kill Wisconsin Tea Party Leader…
Because threatening to kill your political opponents is so “progressive.”
(Brookfield Patch) — 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.

Classic racketeering. Organized crime would be proud.
But since this is a political discussion, this does fit the description of ‘Terrorism’. It attempts to influence policy through the threat of violence.
.
In Wisc. you can’t be sure it wasn’t the police.
If anything happens to one of the Republicans, the media will go into full JournOList mode – protecting the attacker(s), covering for Obama, ignoring the story, or blaming the Right. That’s why this is so serious.
The demorats’ supporters are starting to act like the Taliban, what’s next on their hatred meter acid attacks?
“The love of money is the root of all evil”
..and the msm continue to ignore all of this.
There’s nothing like a calm, rational, tolerant-of-opposing-viewpoints, CIVIL and COMPASSIONATE discussion of core issues….
…and from the Left, there is indeed nothing even remotely resembling any of the above.
Perfect distillation of their core values on full display for all to see.
Keep up the classy, good work Libs! It’s a wonderful advertisment for your brand of ideology.
Oh he’s just a “teabagger” who cares…..right? Certainly not our president or our media or our elected officials.
Sickening.
Tanya, that was, uh, right on the money.
“Police likely will be unable to trace the call since it was blocked, Police Capt. Jim Adlam said Monday.”
Capt. Adlam appears to be a liberal loser or just plain dumb. While likely he does not have direct access to the number the call came from AT&T does and the number can be had with just a little bit of effort.
Bring it on Prog-tards
You’ve been needing a good ass whooping for 50 years… something tells me, you’re all about to get one.
soon
Know I see why the far left loves muslims so much. Birds of a feather.
The police could trace the call if they really wanted to…
KHIR you are right about that, 50 years of the lefts bullshit is beginning to get a little old and they are in a dire need of a BRUTAL beat down!
Something stinks. Not one person making threats has been found? Not though emails, phone calls, signs, nothing?
The good news is every threat, violent incident and innuendo just stokes the fire in many of us to continue the fight.
Thug tactics went out with spats in the 30′s.
So the police cannot identify the source of these threats? After watching them “comuning” with the left wing, union, scum at the capital makes a “reasonable and prudent person” believe that the Wisconsin police are in cahoots.
Wake up conservatives!
If and when the sh*t hits the fan, remember whose side the feds and the police are on. They could bust these leftist maggots if they wanted to, but they don’t want to.. so if fighting breaks out, just remember whose side they are on, and don’t let them cajole you into ‘believing’ them.
They’re all in league.
This was one random act of intolerance and does not define the ideology of any group of people. This person could have been from any political/ideological background…but it fits the argument here for them to be progressive/liberal. I think people should be paying more attention to Gov. Walker’s phone calls…
I wonder if this is what Mr. Obama meant when he said he “wanted a civilian force to rival the US military” in 2008
I hope all the tea party leaders stay strong. I noticed they were quick to condemn any mention of violence in their midst, however the unions and their backers, the LSM, the dems, etc, not a peep out them on the threats of violence against the repubs and constitutional conservatives.
Keep ignorning the news LSM, everyday your credibility goes further down the tubes.
Don’t believe that crap about them not being able to trace a blocked call. Not wanting to do it, of course, is a different thing.
“All politics in this country now is just dress rehearsal for civil war.” — Billy Beck, August 2009.
Police phones can not be traced if there used for undercover
So now you can expect Tea Party people to show at rally’s armored up, and
armed to the teeth?We are not the enemy, we are sanity, looking to come to the aid of our country in desperate times. Should we now live in fear of the unionized segment of our population threatening violence? Is this our presidents aim, to
bring a gun to the fight? If any violence occurs, it’s on his and Mr. Trumka’s
head. Be careful, you are vastly out numbered.
The callers number is set along with the number being called. This is a crock that they do not know the number. Tracing a call is a thing of the past. I have been to a few switch schools and someone is protecting someone. Did you know that the federal government has access to all exchange phone switches by law? Pretty scary.
