At around 8:15 AM on Jan. 9, 2011 on the Fox News program Fox and Friends, there was an aside mention of a connection between Jared Lee Loughner, the shooter in Tuscon that killed six people including a federal judge and critically injured Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, and the white supremacist publication American Renaissance who will be sponsoring their 9th biannual conference in Charlotte, NC on February 4-6, 2011. American Renaissance conferences have been held since 1994 and was to be held in the Washington, DC area last February, but the outrage over the conferences have been building up over the past four years to the point that four hotels declined to play host to them prompting organizers to cancel the event. The Charlotte conference is a makeup date, well outside the Washington, DC area. This is not to say that the outrage is not going to follow them there, however. One People’s Project is officially endorsing the effort to oppose the American Renaissance Conference and urges others to join us in this effort. There will be talk of freedom of speech of course, those freedoms articulated by Rep. Giffords last week as she read the First Ammendment on the House floor. However we believe that this not mean we discount the things that are said, and the consequences that come things said. It is now time that we also excersise our FIrst Amendment rights and repudiate the hatred and bigotry that comes from those who publish, contribute and support American Renaissance, and especially those who will attend this conference. The following comes from Fox News’ Greta Van Sustren, who has posted the memo on her blog where they mention the AmRen connection. We bolded that passage.

Below is a note from my FNC colleague Jennifer Griffin: (by the way, the fact that my blogs focus on Congresswoman Giffords in no way is meant to take away from the other victims and their families. The tragedy is immeasurable and words inadequate.)

Per Griffin
This is an internal memo obtained by Fox News put out by DHS compiling facts known so far about the case – new – shooter’s mother worked for Pima board of supervisers and the suspected anti-Semitic motivation of the shooter.
MEMO:
“The investigation has been taken over by the FBI, and is being run through the Tucson Command Post. Here’s what can be confirmed at this time (1800 hrs)… * Gabrielle Giffords Is in ICU.* Federal judge John Roll is deceased. He did rule on a 32 million dollar civil rights lawsuit in February, 2010. That ruling brought death threats to Roll and his family, and for a time he was given a protection detail.* 6 deaths attributed to the shooting. 19 total people hit by gunfire.* suspect’s mother works for the Pima County Board of Supervisors* the suspect has multiple arrests … 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 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.* DHS have a list of names and dates of birth of all victims.* the ACTIC is still playing a major role in the investigation… Computer forensics is cleaning up the surveillance videos, and images from around the scene, and involved in the investigation – working together, was MCSO, DPS, Phoenix PD, ICE, and of course the FBI. It did just come in from the command post, that the federal judge was Not originally scheduled to attend the meeting, according to wife. She stated that he received a phone call about an hour before and was invited to attend. Wrong place – wrong time. For the planning side, there are impromptu memorials popping up all over the state, but the largest one is downtown phoenix, at the capital.”
