THE suspect being held over Saturday’s shooting of US Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords may have links to anti-Semitic race hate group American Renaissance.
An internal Department of Homeland Security (DHS) memo quoted by FOX News Channel revealed the gunman - named by the media as Jared Loughner, 22 - is “possibly linked” to American Renaissance.
The group subscribes to an ideology that is “anti-government, anti-immigration, anti -ZOG (Zionist Occupational Government), anti-Semitic,” according to the DHS memo.
Giffords “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,” the note said.
The suspect’s mother works the Pima County Board of Supervisors in Arizona, the briefing added.
The DHS confirmed that the FBI have now taken over the investigation.
Um, Barbara Boxer, Feinstein? Not to mention all the other Jewish women in the House.
This is probably Holder blowing smoke. But it'll be interesting to see what comes of it.
Anybody here ever heard of "American Renaissance"?
This is, of course, incorrect.
First, Giffords, whose father is Jewish, is not technically Jewish. Giffords apparently decided to be Jewish about 10 years ago but did not convert.
Second, there have been a number of actually Jewish females elected to the House of Representatives, at least as far back as Florence Kahn of California in the 1920s.
She is the first jewish female FROM ARIZONA elected to congress is how it should read. Poor reporting.
So Loughner, a Jew himself, is anti-semetic? Should we assume that every crime against a Christian is done by a bigoted hate-filled anti-Christian?
