New development.
The feds are reportedly probing whether shooting suspect Jared Lee Loughner has ties to an anti-Semitic, anti-government hate group that has ads for tea party organizations on its website.
A Department of Homeland Security memo quoted by Fox News says the agency is looking into whether Loughner is âpossibly linkedâ to the fanatical group American Renaissance.
The group promotes views that are âanti-government, anti-immigration, anti-ZOG (Zionist Occupation Government), anti-Semitic,â the memo says.
Itâs not immediately clear that Loughner is actually a member.
Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, the target of Loughnerâs firing frenzy, is âthe first Jewish female elected to such a high position in the U.S. government. She was also opposite the groupâs ideology when it came to immigration debate,â according the memo.
The groupâs website features what appear to be paid advertisements for tea party versions of the âdonât tread on meâ flag.
