ACLU & Greenpeace Investigated
Welcome Wizbang, Conservative Grapevine, Trey Jackson, and Lawshawn Barber readers. And thanks for linking to me.
The news that we have today is too good to be true. But it is. Our friends at the ACLU top the list of “Progressive” organizations being investigated by the Justice Department and the FBI. Check it out:
“The FBI has thousands of pages of records in its files relating to the monitoring of civil rights, environmental and similar advocacy groups, the Justice Department acknowledges.The organizations, including the American Civil Liberties Union and Greenpeace, are suing for the release of the documents. The organizations contend that the material will show that they have been subjected to scrutiny by FBI task forces set up to combat terrorism.” source
“The FBI has identified 1,173 pages related to the ACLU and 2,383 pages about Greenpeace, but it needs at least until February to process the ACLU files and until June to review the Greenpeace documents, the government said in a filing in U.S. District Court in Washington.
The FBI has not said specifically what those pages contain. The ACLU’s executive director, Anthony Romero, said the disclosure indicates that the FBI is monitoring organizations that are engaging in lawful conduct.
‘I know for an absolute fact that we have not been involved in anything related to promoting terrorism and yet the government has collected almost 1,200 pages on our activities,’ Romero said. ‘Why is the ACLU now the subject of scrutiny from the FBI?’” source
Let’s see, first off Anthony, yes you do promote terrorism. Your organization is attempting to grant “rights” to terrorists. You opposed meaningful National Secrurity legislation namely “The Patriot Act.” And you engage in terrorist activities here in the US.
By strong arming the state and local governments into submitting to your will through threats of litigation. Knowing state and local governments have tight budgets.
“The FBI has denied singling out individuals or groups for surveillance or investigation based solely on activities protected by the Constitution’s guarantees of free speech.Officials have said agents adhere strictly to Justice Department guidelines requiring evidence of criminal activity or indications that a person may know something about a crime.” source
1,173 pages? Is that all? Maybe the ACLU shredded the rest!

Wizbang thinks we’re overexcited…and he’s probably right, but oh well!
What Attitude Problem? also has some fun and games.

The FBI is doing the responsible thing. It’s their duty to investigate enablers and protectors of America’s enemies. I can only hope for the day a Caterpillar bulldozer flattens an ACLU office.
Dude, this is awesome. Exposure, exposure, exposure. I know I’m a part of this site, but I’m amazed at you guys, every time a new post comes up. This is excellent news and I hope and pray the JUDICIAL SYSTEM (pronounced like Dana Carvey would)will finally figure out that moral and ethical injustices are NOT in keeping with “civil liberties.”
If we’d all just leave the Constitution alone, we wouldn’t have this problem, but the ACLU come in and act like they have to define what the founding fathers already defined. What’s the deal with the ACLU and what makes them Lady Liberty’s chosen few?
Great Post as usual! I hope when they do recieve the documents I hope there’s plenty of meat to for them to choke on!
sorry for the bad grammar there. I got excited and distracted…;)
Heh heh, I heard this as a news headline on NPR this morning(yea, what I listen to in the early am to get me blood boiling) and just knew you’d come through with it! The ACLU’s retort is as fabulous as it is predictible.
Great work, Jay!

Pass me a beer…I’ve been waiting on the trolls all day. I would be interested in hearing what NPR had to say about this.
Or CL, lol.
rotflmaopimp!!! This is the best news I have had all day! Thank you for making my day a little brighter
I always look to this site for informative and enlightening problems with our justice department, and this would be another shining example.
Thank you for all the support Jay, and as always I look forward to your post tomorrow.
Like shooting fish in a barrel, this post almost writes itself.
Great Work! I posted about it here:
