And is AmRen really a “conservative” group??

Many here would find themselves in disagreement with much of what is posted on AmRen, as well as the tone of things. JimRob has not allowed links to AmRen ever. They characterize themselves as "race realists", that is they beleive that there are differences between races that have implications for our society and nation.

They are definately not anti-semitic, they don't rant on about ZOG, their web output consists purely of linked articles from mainstream media, in a format similar to Free Republic. However AmRen alows blatently racist responses of the type that would quickly get one banned at Free Republic.

It would be impossible to describe them as liberals or leftists. It would be a big stretch to call them 'conservatives' as many people here understand the term, but from the 50,000 foot level they are on the right.

What I get from this, in part, is that Jennifer Griffin is a very poor reporter.

She apparently did no due dilligence on what some Administration hack handed her. She didn't fact check the story, and obviously doesn't know enough about American politics to know that calling Gabrielle Giffords the highest elected Jewish woman in American history is ridiculous.

She could have done Google searches to debunk most of the story, but apparently didn't bother.

Some journalist!

Here is her background from Wikipedia:

Jennifer Griffin

Born 1969
Education Harvard University
Occupation national security correspondent, journalist
Spouse(s) Greg Myre
Children two daughters, one son
Notable credit(s) Fox News Channel

Jennifer Griffin (born 1969) is a Fox News correspondent,[1] currently reporting from The Pentagon in Washington, D.C. as national security correspondent. Prior to her reassignment (on March 12, 2007), she had reported from Jerusalem for the network since joining it in 1999.

She is credited with conducting a rare interview with Ariel Sharon and reported on Sharon's hospitalization. Griffin also provided Fox News' coverage of the expulsion of Jewish settlements from the Gaza Strip.

Griffin has reported from Phuket, Thailand following the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and subsequent Asian tsunami. She also played a part in the release of fellow Fox News reporter Steve Centanni and cameraman Olaf Wiig from captivity in Gaza in 2006.

Prior to joining Fox News, Griffin covered the Middle Eastern affairs for the Associated Press, National Public Radio and U.S. News and World Report. Previously, she reported for The Sowetan newspaper in Johannesburg, South Africa, where she covered Nelson Mandela's release from imprisonment and numerous other moments in South Africa's transition away from apartheid.

Personal: Griffin is a daughter of John W. Griffin, a partner in a Washington law firm, and Carolyn J. Griffin, the producting director of Metrostage, a theater in Alexandria, Va.. Griffin married in Oct. 1994, to Greg Myre,[2] a journalist who has reported for the Associated Press and The New York Times. Griffin and Myre have two daughters; Annalise and Amelia, and son Luke.[3] A 1992 graduate of Harvard University, Griffin has a bachelor's degree in comparative politics. Griffin discovered a lump while nursing her new baby Luke in September, 2009 and soon was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer.[4] The aggressive nature of this condition had forced her to leave the airwaves to pursue treatment. Now being cancer free, Jennifer returned to the airways on August 25, 2010 reporting from Kabul, Afghanistan.
