All the more reason to go.

Interesting. How many people would be willing to walk into that cesspool of a rally and offer themselves up as a martyr to expose the unbridled hatred of the opposition?

I recall reading about someone who did something like that some time ago.

These are comments from the Tucson Tea Party Leader?

Though he won't be in attendance this evening, Humphries says he's glad Obama is coming to Tucson.

"I've been very impressed with the way he's handled things so far," he said. Humphries said the president has struck "the right tone" in the aftermath of the shooting

"From the way he's handled it so far he's been really impressive," Humprhies said of Obama.

Who got to this guy?

Is he recording these threats?

When the dust settles he needs to play them for the PUBLIC to see what the VILE actions of the Sheriff and Leftist Media have produced.

BTW shouldn’t the Deputies be PROTECTING him. Have they received direct orders from Sheriff Dipsh*t to NOT protect him.

He has evey right as a FREE Citizen to be in public whenever he wishes.

The fact that it would be wrong - provocative - for him to go proves his point.

Hypocrisy.

I agree that it’s best to ignore the Obama arrival, but...

on April 15...

The Pima County Tea Party Rally of 2011 is ***ON***

You can bet the Kos, DUmmie and MorOn.org types will be outside with their obscene, anti-America/anti-Palin signs and banners. I’d stay as far away from that joint tonight as I could. Especially when they’ll be so many ‘RATS there hitting people up for donations for the DemocRAT candidates.

And a sign at the entrance with an estimate of the number of concealed carry permit holders present...

"We got a not-so-veiled threat,"

I guess it would be 'politically incorrect' to say, "lock and load."

Rally, Rally, Oh really?

... memorial rally intended to unify Tucson after six people were killed ...

Because Tucson is evenly divided between those who think it's terrible that a judge, a child, and several elderly bystanders were killed, and those who believe a few random shootings just keep life interesting?

Our public discourse is unremitting twaddle.

Excuse me, but how exactly has Sheik Obama “led the country” in the aftermath of this crime?

He read a statement from TOTUS into a microphone. Has he done anything else?

This so-called Tea Party leader, instead of hiding in his house at the suggestion of the same government agency that implied it was he and others like him that are responsible for mass murder, ought to gather up a few hundred other patriots, close to this memorial, with some signs that say, "God bless the victims and their families" and then tell the media that shows up they're outraged that them and most others in government have blamed the Tea Party, veterans, Palin, conservatives, Republicans, and patriots etc...

Instead of hiding in their homes, lets see and hear someone down their stand up and state the damn truth!

You know as well as I do that, to a leftist, saying something about a problem

IS

“doing something about it”.

Why couldnt he just go. What was he going to do, wear a tshirt and hold up a poster board? This is not a Rally this is a memorial. Big difference. For the sake of these families goodness gracious please let there not be politics.

They should put on the '0' tee shirts, gas up the video recorders, practice a looney and adoring stare, then go and record this wellstonesque "memorial" from every possible angle.

I know it's like asking them to dive into a septic tank, but they can always shower afterwards.

Would you really want to go into a ‘everyone disarmed zone’ because of obama’s presence? You are threatened and prevented from protecting yours and yourself.

He is strong, tonight is not the place to be for him.

There is a time and a place for all actions. Easy for you to say what other people should and shouldn't do. I'll leave it up to others to determine what is the "best" course of action for themselves.

He and the wookie walked outside for his daily photo op and LED the world in a moment of silence. /s
