Ah the one sided ref returns. Doctor I made it pretty clear that I was leaving it open because it was too early on Loughner. On the other hand some folks here are still pushing their partisan talking points.

Arizona shooting suspect may be linked to anti-Semitic group

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.

This group sounds far right to me.

He's certainly crazy but doesn't that go hand in hand with somebody from the political fringe who is willing to attempt to assinate an elected official? I do agree though that it's too early to say he's a right wing nut job but if more stuff comes out with the anti-immigration group that might change.


Yep, I left it open and nothing turned up with the group. If he had been an active member that probably would have changed things as I said. Likewise if he had turned up to be a big Olbermann fan and was stalking Giffords because he was in love with her that would have changed things too. Instead Loughner was a registered indy who didn't even vote. There's things people are stressing while leaving what doesn't fit there agenda out. I could do that too but it just seems dumb at this point.

Fair play!
