The main suspect in the Arizona massacre has links to a fanatical pro-white magazine.
Fox News claimed it had seen a Department of Homeland Security memo which said Jared Lee Loughner, 22, had ties to American Renaissance, which is staunchly anti-immigration, anti-government and anti-Semitic.
Arizona Republican Gabrielle Giffords, the target of the mass killing, is ‘the first Jewish female elected to such a high position in the US government. She was also opposite this group’s ideology when it came to immigration debate,’ according the DHS memo.
Mrs Giffords is the granddaughter of Akiba Hornstein, the son of a Lithuanian rabbi who in the 1940s moved from New York to Tucson. He later changed his name to Giff Giffords in an effort to avoid anti-Semitism.

This is simply not true. A fabrication.
He doesn’t sound like a TEA Partier or Palin supporter to me. The state run “media” must be lying again. In fact, it doesn’t sound like the little bass turd has ever even paid any taxes.
Next they’ll be claiming Palin did some mind meld on him.
Silly me, I always thought links implied actual evidence. I haven’t seen any yet (and I am no fan of AmRen, but a very bad precedent could be getting set here - namely, DHS running with an SPLC slime campaign without any additional proof).
I dont trust the DHS for nothing. WE know little ms. napalitano has always thought the staunch white folk are terrorists esp. ones that listen to talk radio.
Tucson is the commie lib Mecca of Arizona. The rest of Arizona is mostly conservative except for the commie college campi and the reservations.
Gifford is anti-immigration and pro Second Amendment. If anything, is a good dem, if there is one. Noone deserves to get shot in the noggen.
Oh yeah, I trust THAT source...
I think the Department of Homeland Security memo said that they need to tie this guy to some so-called right wing group (i.e. staunchly anti-immigration). But anti-semetic says muslim to me.
math class has a way of making people crazy
Who you going to believe, the imperial government or the lying eyes of all those people who read the perps own words on his own website?
A DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY MEMO??!!! Well THERE’S a trustworthy, believable source!!
“Arizona Republican Gabrielle Giffords, the target of the mass killing, is ***‘the first Jewish female elected to such a high position in the US government.”***

Between the Daily Mail and Fox News, it’s hard to tell which is more malodorous.
Article says FOX news is reporting this. Is this true? Haven’t seen this anywhere.
The lies are spreading. There is no evidence to support this nonsense. But the Daily Mail is a leftist rag, so I guess they are happy to help spread the lies.
“American Renaissance and Jared Loughner”

Jared Taylor, Special to AR News, January 9, 2011
“We have all heard by now of the attempted murder of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords on Saturday. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reportedly issued a memo claiming that the shooter, Jared Loughner, has some connection with American Renaissance. We have received a copy of the memo ( http://gretawire.blogs.foxnews.com/latest-on-shooting-of-congresswoman-giffords-motivation-anti-semitic-and-she-was-the-target/ ) , the relevant portion of which we reproduce here:
<< But no criminal record? Intervention by someone?* no direct connection - but strong suspicion is being directed at AmRen / American Renaissance. Suspect is possibly linked to this group. (through videos posted on his myspace and YouTube account.). The group’s ideology is anti government, anti immigration, anti ZOG (Zionist Occupational Government), anti Semitic. Gabrielle Gifford [sic] is the first Jewish female elected to such a high position in the US government. She was also opposite this group’s ideology when it came to immigration debate.* >>
This is so hopelessly wrong that it is hard to believe it is a genuine government document. No one by the name of Loughner has ever been a subscriber to American Renaissance or has ever registered for an American Renaissance conference. We have no evidence that he has even visited the AR website.
American Renaissance condemns violence in the strongest possible terms, and nothing that has ever appeared in it pages could be interpreted as countenancing it.
AR is not anti-government, anti-Semitic, or anti-ZOG, as is clear from the 20 years of back issues that are posted on our website. The expression “ZOG” has never appeared in the pages of AR, and we have has always welcomed Jewish participation in our work. Many of the speakers at American Renaissance conferences have been Jewish.
Although the name Gabrielle Giffords has appeared in news articles we have excerpted on our website, AR itself has never mentioned her and has certainly never criticized her policies.
Finally, Gabrielle Giffords is not the “first Jewish female elected to such a high position in the US government.” Barbara Boxer has represented California in the Senate from 1993, and Diane Feinstein has done so since 1992. There are at least six Jewish congresswomen listed by Wikipedia as currently serving in the House.
If this memo is typical of the research done by the Department of Homeland Security, our country is in serious danger.
I telephoned DHS today to try to get the bottom of this nonsense, but apparently there is no homeland security on Sundays. The person who answered the phone said no one is there and that I should call back on Monday morning.
Fortunately, some of the media organizations that have been reporting this story have contacted me, and have reported my assertion that American Renaissance knows nothing at all about Jared Loughner, that we condemn all violence, and that we cannot possibly be described as anti-Semitic.
Even Mark Potok of the SPLC was quoted today as saying, “Jared Taylor is not an anti-Semite.”
We will report any further developments.”

They do not sound dangerous to me, suspect it is more of the DHS incompetence/leftie spin.

FoxNews has not distinguished itself in this incident. First by declaring Giffordfs dead. Then with Shep Smith failing (or refusing) to challenge AZ Sen. Linda Lopez for blaming the Tea Party for the shooting. Then by employing a new blonde-haired male reporter (whose name escapes me) reporting from Tucson and sl;anting every tidbit about the shooter to the RIGHT. Mentioning only Mein Kampf and not the Commie Manifesto, announcing this phony “link” to an “anti-Semetic white hate group” (AmRen is neither anti-Semetic or a hate group, showing the ridiculous Sarah Palin mailer from 100 year ago, as if it somehow inspired this psycho, leftist maniac.
