Josiah Cantrall, at American Thinker:
“Are you wearing a bulletproof vest?”
Click. Michael Hintze’s phone line went dead — the caller never identified himself. A prominent Wisconsin Tea Party leader, Hintze is the latest recipient of anonymous death threats.
That’s precisely the way it’s supposed to work. Collective-force mobs are, by design, inherently anonymous, while their individual opponents are not:
I’ve been stalked, chased, and verbally assaulted by several individuals. One woman drew a crowd around me and proceeded to rattle off my full name, my age, my hometown, and the exact size of my family. She noted that I am the second-oldest of thirteen children. She also recited the very dates I had been on Fox News and the time period of my visit to New York.
Creepy though it was, this woman’s knowledge of my personal life was impressive. She knew information that many of my friends were not aware of.
These rooted leftist tactics are beginning to trouble even some of the denizens of the Left. In a post that Cjunk referenced in this SDA post, Lee Stranahan of the Huffington Post wrote:
Why isn’t the mainstream media talking about the death threats against Republican politicians in Wisconsin?
Try to set aside whatever biases or preconceptions you might have for a moment and ask yourself why death threats against politicians aren’t considered national news, especially in the wake of the all too fresh shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and other bystanders. And there hasn’t just been one death threat, but a number of them.
[…]
Just before writing this article, I did a Google search and it’s stunning to find out that the right wing media really isn’t exaggerating — proven death threats against politicians are being ignored by the supposedly honest media.
It’s almost as if there’s a blatant double standard.
Hey, where’s the Reader Tips? I slept at my computer last night waiting for them 😉
I have no doubt that the “caring left” would have no problem whatsoever pushing people into cattle cars.
SDH, the site was down for a while last night due to a temporary server malfunction.
I maintain this violent rhetoric will yield a politcal assasination yet.
Probably by a nut-bar…..but then it always is…..
Double standard? How ’bout full on crazy; anti-war protesters went to Wisconsin this weekend.
This isn’t new. Leftists use these tactics on every area of life, where they disagree with conservatives, Union Busting, Pro-life, anti-nukes, mandatory government day care, Islam, tax breaks for business, etc. and the list goes on. For them these tactics are justified, for anyone else they are barbaric.
One day the final battle between good and evil will occur and these union, freeloaders, lazy bums will reap what they sowed.
Of course the left oriented corporate media is biased. Any partisan leftist has the same bias and dual standards when they abandon common morality for the compromised morality of political partisan activism. Specifically and in sum, the left activist-partisan duality involves the holding of their enemies to impossibly high moral standards while they themselves, in pursuit of their cause/politics/ideology, are held to no moral standard what so ever.Any degenerate act is justifiable under the guise of left wing righteousness.
One day the final battle between good and evil will occur and these union, freeloaders, lazy bums will reap what they sowed.

One can only hope Mike but the left won’t give up easily because most are fanatics.
Really impressed with the left. Read on twitter where some goof wished Ann Coulter to holiday in the radioactive zone in Japan. Niiice!!!
Churchill said it best “A fanatic is someone who won’t change his mind and won’t change the subject.” Good Lord we need more like him.
Politics is simple for me. There are ‘doers’ and ‘takers’. Self explanatory as to the approach that each group takes in life. My experience is that the majority of ‘takers’ reside on the left. That said they also do exist on the right as well. The mindset is distinctly different and the ‘takers’ outnumber the ‘doers’.
‘Takers’ usually dominate the agenda because it is the easiest road to travel. Their actions usually culminate in some form of disaster where the reality of nature’s rules reassert themselves. I consider fundemental captialism as one of nature’s rules. Debt is the trigger.
they learned this from the best.
right wing death squads in all those banana republics with their anti-communist zeal, where individuals agitating for such things as, horror of horrors, LAND REFORM get a visit from a bunch of balaclavas and are never heard from again.
‘they ALL do it’.
Looks like Beagle was up late playing Call of Duty again.
Well Beagle, old son, it is probable that the banana republic death squads are perhaps the exception…but because they are employed by most Latin American regimes they are actually more fascist than right wing. These things seem to be limited to Latin America….likely cultural.
Generally and globally it is the lefties who resort to bullets when they lose at the ballots.
And then there is that apt saying by Ioseb Besarionis dze Jughashvili :
“It matters not who votes…but what matters is who counts them.”
Nice moral equivocation, Beagle. South American right wing death squads equivalent to North American conservatives? Have you stopped murdering Jews yet, Beagle, because, like, it was statists that did the dirty deed then? “they ALL do it”.
Obama’s in Brazil – here’s a local take

“…it’s stunning to find out that the right wing media really isn’t exaggerating — proven death threats against politicians are being ignored by the supposedly honest media.”
Aren’t the useful idiots cute when they first start to wake up?
Sad as it is that they are this late to the party, it is still heartening to witness the sheer outrage when they finally figure out they’ve been used, and to what ends. It swells the ranks of the righteous, and that is always a good thing.
btw could we all stop feeding the dog. Its stinking the place up.
Double standard? How ’bout full on crazy; anti-war protesters went to Wisconsin this weekend.
Yes, and to express its contempt with their presence, it freakin’ poured in Wisconsin today.
We all know why the media isn’t reporting this phenomena. It does gel with their preconceived story line. Concervatives are supposed to be the unstable ones, not Liberals, so since it can’t be true it can’t be news.
No one should be surprised at how much knowledge of his private life that the author’s harasser had. Remember who’s running our bureaucracies, with all that sensitive personal information just a mouse-click and a keystroke away. Public “service” employees, indeed.
beagle et al; It was the National Socialist party in Germany,not the National Free Enterprise party or the National Capitalist party.I would like for you and others to study the history and aims of socialist parties through out history.You will come to the same conclusion as Orwell and a lot of other former socialists,it works great on paper and greater for some than others.I compare socialists to Cowbirds,let others raise their young and provide for them.
Only some can be violent nutjobs.
Let everyone know what kind of people leftists are.
I think the Fleebaggers where the external expression of what they internally think of as Democracy. Socialism always gets good press no matter how many millions are killed in its name & ideology.
The left love Hitler till he invaded Russia. Thats all anyone really needs to know about the left.
Police state mentalities all, as long as they pick the hammer, all must bend to the will of these Vampires.
JMO
Since the left voted for Obama, every evil lefty slime in the world has felt that it’s open season on anything that isn’t equipped with many, many, teats for the useless to suck on.
Obama has spawned more of the same garbage that he comes from, the Chicago Machine!!!!
So why is Obewonhusein holidaying in Brasil?

$ FKA gord said “I have no doubt that the “caring left” would have no problem whatsoever pushing people into cattle cars”. The Russian and Chinese Communist socialists and National Socialists were just the most efficient at cleansing society of “enemies of the people”. Don’t anyone kid themselves, if some of Layton and Obama’s friends could get away with it they would do the same. They are very busy trying to bring that about.
sasquatch @ 12:23 and spike 1 @ 2:02 have it right.
Elections have consequences….
The lefties correctly regard Wisconsin as a fight for their life.
There are other states now taking the cue.
The social democrats rely heavily on cash donations from the public service unions, the public service unions rely on the democrats to pay their wage demands, and the unions without compulsorary membership would lose their union dues….it’s a corrupt incestuous relationship.
The social democrats and public service unions must win in Wisconsin….their very existance and financing relies upon it.
This is why they are so obviously desperate…..and IMHO dangerous……
This could be the spark that ignites a civil war….

Sir, I must respectfully disagree.
I’m down here in Arizona today, and despite the machinations of the local Lefty TV and newspaper media, things are pretty good. The MSM is trying to stir up a fuss about the pending legislation on illegals and state paid benefits. Nobody cares. People are not freaking out in stores and restaurants like they were last spring.
The difference? November election. Good guys won, bad guys lost. Harshly. People are now getting on with their lives, secure in the knowledge that the worst of the crisis -has passed-.
The Dems over reached -badly- in 2009 and 2010. The blame for the real estate crash and the market crash and the current gas prices is being correctly laid at the democRat’s feet.
Gabriel Giffords got shot about an hour south of here, nobody here is taking these death threats in Wisconsin and other places lightly. Except the media. This has been noticed.
What I have been seeing is an increase in Liberal bumper stickers. Your Prius and your Smart Car with Obama stickers, Give Peace A Chance, Republicans for Voldemort, “coexist” spelled out ion various religious symbols, stuff like that.
I’ve decided this is a sign of Democrat useful idiots lashing out at all the gun toting, truck driving, beer swilling white cowboy people down here who are strongly in the majority.
There will be no civil war. The Dems lost it ALL in November 2010, and like the 100 ft brontosaurus mortally shot in the @ss, it is taking a while for the message to get up to their brains. They are done like dinner.
I would not be at all surprised to see some atrocities like the Giffords attack perpetrated by lone DemocRat loony tunes, but a mass uprising isn’t in the cards IMHO.
Unless the Republicans start giving Barry everything he wants on a silver platter, with sprinkles. That could get ugly.
The MSM which is largely dependant on the groups that they have catered to for so long … can’t have the public feeling sympathy for those despised conservatives and Republicans now can they?
As for threats from the left …. cowards…. if they can’t goad a crowd into doing their work for them …. they sure as hell wont do anything themselves.
Of course there will always be the odd loon who can work himself into enough of a frenzy to try to kill people….. but that happens with or without the union pricks and the other thugs helping.
