Oh, about that claim Jared Loughner was linked to a right-wing group by DHS

Remember the allegation a DHS memo linked Jared Loughner to the right-wing group "American Renaissance"? The left jumped all over it. It was complete and utter BS.

Via The Plum Line at WaPo:
For the last 24 hours, the Web has been alive with speculation that the Arizona shooter has some sort of ties to a right-wing group called American Renaissance. The primary source for this claim is a Fox News report from yesterday saying that law enforcement had made this determination based on information provided by the Department of Homeland Security.

But a DHS official tells me that the department has not established any such possibility, undercutting what appears to be the primary basis for this claim.

    Liberals may be shocked to find out this was started by FOX News.

    FOX News first reported the story and there doesn't seem to be any basis... You decide.
