Jared Loughner & American Renaissance

Tea Party Nation is blaming the the Left for alleged shooter Jared Loughner's rampaged that left Rep. Gabrielle Giffords wounded and six others dead. The Department of Homeland Security is investigating if Loughner has ties to the anti-semitic group American Renaissance. AR swears it has no ties to Loughner and is not racist. The homepage of American Renaissance's web site reveals a hate group. Here are some of their article descriptions.

Loughner is currently in FBI custody and has invoked his fifth amendment rights. The gun Loughner was carrying was legal. Arizona does not require a permit for gun ownership.

Update: Judson Phillips sent this message out to his Tea Party Nation followers. The message is blame the Left for the shooting. Phillips fails to explain why the Left would target one of their own.

The hotheads on the left have been using Twitter, Facebook and other social media to spout off for the last 24 hours. Daily Kos founder Markos Moulitsas fired off a tweet saying, “Mission accomplished Sarah Palin.” Hotheads like him will fade. Next week we will see a more serious attack from those who are the masters at the dark arts of media and politics.

This attack has already started and you can see the liberal meme forming. They will say the tone and rhetoric from conservatives and the Tea Party is responsible for this crime. In Politico today, first an unnamed “Republican” (read RINO) Senator said, “tone matters.” Politico then quoted an unnamed Democratic operative who followed the same “tone matters” line, blaming the “overheated rhetoric” for the shooting, then saying Obama should “deftly pin this on the Tea Partiers,” just like Clinton placed the blame for the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995.

In 1995, Clinton then tried to blame conservative talk radio, especially Rush Limbaugh, for the terrorist bombing. The tactic worked then, backing conservatives off and possibly helping to ensure a second Clinton term.

The line we will see for the next few weeks is going to be that rhetoric and tone of the message from the Tea Party is responsible for this attack. Let’s ignore the fact that this guy was not only nuts, but also a card carrying liberal. The hard left is going to try and silence the Tea Party movement by blaming us for this.

In a decent world, we could all take a moment to mourn for those killed by a liberal lunatic. Political civility is long since dead and the left will not let us do this.

So be it.

The left is coming and will hit us hard on this. We need to push back harder with the simple truth. The shooter was a liberal lunatic. Emphasis on both words.

Where does one get their liberal card?

Phillips' proof that Loughner is an Business Insider article quoting a Twitter user saying Loughner smoked a lot of pot and listened to classic rock in high school. The same could be said about filmmaker Kevin Smith. Phillips' evidense proves nothing. There is also no evidence that Loughner was involved in the Tea Party movement. Why Phillips and others on the Right are doing pushback is because violent rhetoric has been used for so long by Sarah Palin, Fox News and the Tea Party movement against the Left. The recent shooting his what reality looks like. Their fantasy world bubble has been popped and they are doing damage control.
