DHS Memo Suggests Shooter May Be Linked To Racist Organization
Fox News ^ | January 09, 2011 | Jennifer Griffin

Posted on 01/09/2011 7:56:53 AM PST by winoneforthegipper

According to a memo obtained by Fox News with information compiled by the Department of Homeland Security and released to state law enforcement officials, Jared Loughner, the alleged shooter of Congressman Gabrielle Giffords, may have been influenced by a pro-white racist organization that publishes an anti-immigration newsletter.

No direct connection, but strong suspicion is being direceted at American Renaissance, an organization that Loughner mentioned in some of his internet postings and federal law enforcement officials are investigating Loughner's possible links to the organization. The organization is a monthly publication that promotes a variety of white racial positions.

Further, the suspect's mother works for the Pime County Board of Supervisors.

Do we know of any, other than the Communist Manifesto being one of his favorite books?

How much longer before they blame it on Rush?

The current host on the lib talk station - KGO 810 - in San Fran is doing it now, and throwing in the target symbols from Palin. Of course, considering where he is broadcasting from, he has a ready made audience to say , "Amen" to his rants.

American Renaissance?

They are a pretty nasty front group for the National Front. They verge on anarchists.


I have a feeling you have zero evidence for this. I mean besides some press release from the ADL or the SPLC.

AmRen’s founder is Jared Taylor who was a member of the National Front and also founded the “New Century Foundation” an overt racist ‘think tank’ (their description) and also works and writes for the Council of Conservative Citizens which is run by the same people who run StormFront. This is pretty common knowledge.

Hating NASA - one more reason to shoot Giffords.

"I’m guessing that to whoever found this, pro-white = racist. Of course, the same would never be said of the NAACP or La Raza."

I spent just a few minutes on the Amren.com site.

I see absolutely nothing racist there and it is non-controversial when compared to La Raza or the NAACP.

At most it advocates for restrictions on immigration from 3rd world countries and extols the virtues of Western Civilization...which happens to be predominately white.

La Raza advocates for the separation of the Southwest and the creation of new country...after expelling whites.

Yeah, let's HAVE this conversation.

Exactly what is your point?

Isn’t my post a short hand way of saying FR believes they are a racist organization?

Of course, we can link to the Congressional Black Caucus and we can link to Reverend Wright’s church as well as Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson.

Jared Taylor is a member of the Natinal Front? Really? I’m sure you have some evidence for that you can provide us, perhaps along with evidence of his anarchist and racist tendencies. Besides the “everybody knows” dodge.

A POST FROM ANOTHER THREAD:

The AmRen group has been holding meetings in the DC area for years.

It is well known that Jared Taylor is non-violent and pro-Jewish. He is more famous for being pro-Jewish than anything else. That is a source of much resentment among the anti-Semites who are pro-White.

The idea that AmRen is promoting violence is absurd to anyone who has even the slightest familiarity with the organization. They are a suit and tie, academic type group.

I’ve been on Free Republic more than 12 years, as well as a consumer of all kinds of information from the internet and elsewhere, and I have never in my life heard of an organization called “American Renaissance.”

Same here. Wonder if all its members revere Marx/Engels (like Loughner does)?

From his own dvd from a national conference “Why Americans Resist Race Realism” with Bruno Gollnisch a National Front founder in which he proclaims his membership. We can’t post the link here but it is really easy to find on AmRen’s site

Be patient.

DHS is manufacturing the evidence right now.

By the time they finish they will have photographs of Jared Loughner sitting in Sarah Palin's kitchen eating mooseburgers while she shows him how to fire stinger missles.

Why aren’t they talking about his Communists links???

What are you, some kind of McCarthy-ite? Have You No Shame?

It's sarcasm, OK? ess-ay-are-sea-ay-ess-em.

***On March 30, 1981, a lunatic named John Hinckley, Jr. shot President Reagan in an assassination attempt.****

I remember that day and how the MSM absolutly went bonkers!

I’ll never forget how, on ABC, Frank Reynolds reacted when it was announced that Hinckley bought his gun in DALLAS!
Reynolds threw up his arms and yelled...

“OH! DALLAS!” Obviously a flashback to 1963.

Odds are this sheriff gave him a pass earlier in his acting-out.
