Leave Me Out of This!
The latest anti-ACLU attack is out. Some folks, like Eugene Volokh, are getting all upset-like because the press release compares the ACLU to terrorists and the KKK. And yes, that is a rather nasty thing to do, so even sympathetic organizations shoul…

“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.

“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.

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.

“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.

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.

Mark, I have never told anyone to die, please do not confuse what a commenter says with what the contributors of this blog say.

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!
