Christian Group Tells ACLU to Back Off
Posted on November 17, 2005
Update: Volokh readers…I do not think the ACLU are terrorists as in killing people. I don’t think they are anything like the KKK as far as race goes. While I understand the feelings, I do not endorse these descriptions of the ACLU, but I do endorse the action of taking the petitions asking them to back off.
Hat tip: The Gray Tie
I’m a little late on this one, but I just didn’t find it in time. I thought I would post it anyway, just to show how there are groups out there fighting the good fight.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 17 /U.S. Newswire/ — The Reverends Rob Schenck (pronounced SHANK) and Patrick J. Mahoney will visit ACLU headquarters today to hand-deliver more than 20,000 petitions demanding that the left-leaning liberal attack group back off of terrorizing communities and individuals who seek to affirm America’s Judeo-Christian values.Schenck, who heads up Faith and Action in the Nation’s Capital, and Mahoney, director of the Christian Defense Coalition, asked their respective members to sign the statements after the ACLU sued a small rural school district in Adams County, Ohio, over four displays of the Ten Commandments in front of public schools there. The ACLU won an order for the Commandments to be removed, then demanded that the school reimburse them for legal expenses. After Christian ministers in the community stepped forward with a pledge to replace the money taken from the school budget, the ACLU settled for $80,000.
“The ACLU is this generation’s Ku Klux Klan,” said Rev. Rob Schenck. “They gallop into small towns with legal hoods over their heads and terrorize good people by threatening to harm children by draining the coffers of local schools if they so much as dare to recognize our nation’s true heritage. These ACLU bullies are nothing more than psychological terrorists.”
The Reverends Schenck and Mahoney plan to arrive at the offices of the ACLU around 3 p.m.

Good everyone across america needs to stand up to these thugs …
All of us who work at the ACLU found this pretty funny today. I went downstairs at 3pm just to watch the festivities, but Schenck was nowhere to be seen. Given that he got our address wrong in his press release, I’m assuming he was delivering his petition a few blocks away at the Stock Exchange.
Hey, Hee hee…
You should go somewhere and die already.
Screw you AND the ACLU!
I clicked on the link to sign the petition and I received an error message.
Try it again debsay, it worked for me.
How do you expect people to take you seriously when you throw around words like terrorists, and tell people you disagree with to die? Instapundit was right, you are a bunch of kooky extremists and conspiracy theorists that mainstream America will never take seriously. Keep up the good work!
Mark, I have never told anyone to die, please do not confuse what a commenter says with what the contributors of this blog say.
Apparently Mark does not know what main stream american thinks. Every time I mention ACLU I either get a hateful comment about them or prople just dont know their evil agenda. Never have I heard talking to anyone anything good about the scumbags.
I know where there is something that should be delivered to the ACLU headquarters but it is illegal
“Volokh readers…I do not think the ACLU are terrorists as in killing people. I don’t think they are anything like the KKK as far as race goes. The below quotes are analogies”
Of course! They’re nothing LIKE the KKK. They’re just ANALOGOUS TO the KKK.
So the left no longer understands analogies?
That is what I am getting from reading some of the comments here and from reading the posts at Volokh and Insulted.
The Reverend rightfully made a comparision between the tactics of the KKK from their heyday and the ACLU of today.
Both of them terrorist organizations, with the difference being that with the ACLU lawyers carry out their economic terror campaign in courts, instead of whites carrying out campaigns of murder in the woods against blacks.

How analogous. Trees and murder and terror of a minority vs. paper.
I admit Actus that it was a bad analogy, but I am pressed for time.
“I admit Actus that it was a bad analogy, but I am pressed for time. ”
Really you’re pressed for an anology. Think what the world would be like if the KKK tried to use lawsuits — or if the ACLU was a majority using murder to suppress a minority. Thats the analogy being made.
