As the only USMB'er to ever attend American Renaissance

[William Joyce]

Let me clear up a few things.

One, it's not a "group." American Renaissance is a magazine. It comes out monthly. I have subscribed for years. It has subscribers across the country, and the world. It has a small staff, and the editor is Jared Taylor, a Yale grad and fluent Japanese speaker. For sheer brilliance, you'll rarely meet a man of his station, and I'm proud to say that I have.

Every few years they have a conference. I have been to three or four of them.

There is no such thing as a "member" of AR. You can subscribe... but so can anyone.

You can attend the conference... but so can anyone.

AR is literate, undeceived, and... sadly... not "anti-semitic."

Jews write for AR and speak at conferences frequently.

Its last conference was shut down by left-wingers who threatened to kill participants and blow up the hotels in which the talks were being held.

Never heard about that, did you?

It is, in fact, pro-white. About that, there is no doubt.

AR's response:

<em>American Renaissance</em> and Jared Loughner :: American Renaissance News

We have all heard by now of the attempted murder of Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords on Saturday. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reportedly issued a memo claiming that the shooter, Jared Loughner, has some connection with American Renaissance. We have received a copy of the memo, the relevant portion of which we reproduce here:

<< 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 [sic] 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.* >>

This is so hopelessly wrong that it is hard to believe it is a genuine government document. No one by the name of Loughner has ever been a subscriber to American Renaissance or has ever registered for an American Renaissance conference. We have no evidence that he has even visited the AR website.

American Renaissance condemns violence in the strongest possible terms, and nothing that has ever appeared in it pages could be interpreted as countenancing it.

AR is not anti-government, anti-Semitic, or anti-ZOG, as is clear from the 20 years of back issues that are posted on our website. The expression &#8220;ZOG&#8221; has never appeared in the pages of AR, and we have has always welcomed Jewish participation in our work. Many of the speakers at American Renaissance conferences have been Jewish.

Although the name Gabrielle Giffords has appeared in news articles we have excerpted on our website, AR itself has never mentioned her and has certainly never criticized her policies.

Finally, Gabrielle Giffords is not the &#8220;first Jewish female elected to such a high position in the US government.&#8221; Barbara Boxer has represented California in the Senate from 1993, and Diane Feinstein has done so since 1992. There are at least six Jewish congresswomen listed by Wikipedia as currently serving in the House.

If this memo is typical of the research done by the Department of Homeland Security, our country is in serious danger.

I've been to the disgusting site. Nothing but racist trash there. Wouldn't want to be associated with the scum and won't post in this thread again.

 

[uscitizen]

I went to a Renaissance fair once. Interesting and fun but a bit silly.

She is Arizona's first Jewish Congresswoman.

So
how do you know you're the only usmb'er to attend Renaissance.

 

[William Joyce]

I don't but it's a safe guess.

Interesting fact:

Jared Lee Loughner is possibly Jewish, but Gabrielle Giffords isn't, technically, because her mother was a gentile.

Ar?

 

[California Girl]

LEO's have now stated that there is no connection between Loughner and American Renaissance. Which is why I have repeated said we should wait for FACTS (facts, not opinions or speculations) before we start mouthing off about this incident.

 

[NYcarbineer]

So, the killer may not have had any association with the American Renaissance.

I guess that means that AR's sterling reputation as one of America's classiest Conservative Racist organizations remains intact.

 

[Sallow]

What's not to love about racists?

They hate their fellow Americans.

That's so madcap.

Sadly, journalists aren't concerned with "facts", just what sounds salacious.

Were you at the conference in Herndon?

I thought that Nick Griffin was spot on...but Wayne Lutton missed the mark.

 

[Luissa]

I went to a Renaissance fair this summer.

 

[Tank]

Could you imagine if people tried to smear the NAACP like this?

Racism may end up as the last thing the U.S. doesn't have to import.

You do. What is there to imagine?

 

[Baruch Menachem]

This is the quality of work we have grown acopstomed to at DHS.

It might be worth noting the name and religious affiliation of the majority leader of the house right now.

If these are the peaple responsible for our national security, we now have reason to fear.

I prefer the Dark Ages fairs.
