Leaked govt memo: Shooter may be linked to hate group
By Liz Goodwin
29 mins ago

According to a leaked memo obtained by Fox News, the Department of Homeland Security is looking into the possibility that suspected shooter Jared Loughner was linked to a white supremacist group called American Renaissance, or AmRen.

AmRen founder Jared Taylor, however, tells Fox he'd never heard of Loughner and that according to his group's records, Loughner never received AmRen publications. His group's events are all held on the East Coast, he said, far from Loughner's hometown of Tucson.

According to the memo, Loughner "is possibly linked to this group. (through videos posted on his myspace and YouTube account.)" The group is "anti government, anti immigration, anti ZOG (Zionist Occupational Government), anti Semitic," the memo said. (Taylor told Fox his group is not anti-Zionist.)

Both the group's anti-Semitic and anti-immigration leanings would not put Rep. Gabrielle Giffords in its favor. Giffords is the first female Jewish elected representative from Arizona. She also supports comprehensive immigration reform, and was opposed to Arizona's SB1070 law, though she also opposed the Obama administration challenging it in court.

That dumbass sheriff Dupnik was blaming talk radio (i.e., Rush Limbaugh) and certain television personalities (i.e., Glenn Beck) in his press conference yesterday.

Maybe... but we do know he is a product of the politically- correct, morally-bankrupt public school system.

He should sue if it isn’t true. They like defaming people and their associations.

So if someone logged onto the AR website even one time, they may be linked to the organization?

What do they mean by linked?

By that logic, I'm linked to Democratic Underground because I've visited their website. I despise DU but by their definition, I'm linked to them.

I deploy the use of the words "may" and "linked". The MSM uses them in a despicable manner.

This is only the beginning. “Leaked” Government reports will have words,”may be likned to the TeaParty movement”, and “may be a follower of Rush Limbaugh.”

Yup, MSM template in full effect. As soon as I heard this story yesterday I was waiting to see how quickly it would be linked to the teaparty.

“How soon before the Democrat Party controlled media announces that Loughner was “linked” to Free Republic or the Heritage Foundation or to the Reagan Library? It’s amazing the amount of bilge the media is vomiting on the American public. And doing it so quickly too.”

They already have HuffPo has a big comment picture that claims he is a Free Republic poster I was telling someone about that in another post earlier.

Thanks for that litany. If you don't mind, I'm going to copy and save it, as ammo for the inevitable war of words that we conservatives are going to have to fight starting tomorrow at work and in our circle of associates. Good research, FRiend.

The SPLC is a joke.

Mark Potok was on Olbermann’s show last night trying to spin this into another James von Brunn story. The SPLC is obviously hoping to cash in on this story.

The bogus AmRen charge won’t hold up to scrutiny. Everyone who knows who the AmRen people are know there is no merit to the charge that they are “anti-ZOG” or promote violence.

That’s ridiculous.

There really are Neo-Nazis out there who post on the internet everyday about fighting “ZOG” and killing Jews and so forth but all those people hate Jared Taylor and AmRen.

Of all the “racist hate groups” out there, AmRen is the last one anyone would ever suspect of promoting violence.

They are just throwing mud and hoping to find something - anything - that sticks.

First it was Sarah Palin because of using crosshairs in that ad to defeat Democrats. Then it was Glenn Beck because of his views about gold. Then it was Rush Limbaugh who created “a climate of bigotry” through “hate radio.”

Before this is over with, I am sure Ron Paul will be blamed in some way too. It will all culminate in the realization by the media that ...

That it is all BUSH’S FAULT.

Harry Reid was just way too vitriolic day before yesterday when claiming the repeal of OBamaCare would not even make it back to the Senate, let alone get passed by the Senate!!!

There are danged few coincidences in politics!!!

This is what the Obama kiss ass media will do for the next two years, milk this tragedy for all its worth..remember what Rahm Emmanuel said about “Never letting a crisis go to waste” well you can bet they won’t waste this one. They will continue with the LIE that this guy was a right wing extremist(Even though its proven by people who knew him that he was far left). They will bash talk radio, bring up the fairness doctrine, basically use this guy like they used the Oklahoma City tragedy to get OBama’s sorry ass re-elected

This is just the liberal goon squad attempting to make Loughner ‘conservative’ by being tied to an anti-Semetic group, because all Tea Partiers are racist of course, and attempting to create some BS juxtaposition.

Of course the smear job is also them giving us the implicit threat that they can do this whenever they want and follow up on it if they choose, Chicago style.

Wonder if they’d like it if we started asking ‘What’s Nancy know and when did she know it?’

Put up or shut up. Let’s see the evidence. Otherwise you’re practicing the “mcCarthy tactics” that you claim to abhor.
