Comments on: ACLU, where are you? Campus tyranny and the ACLU’s silence. http://www.stoptheaclu.com/2006/12/10/aclu-where-are-you-campus-tyranny-and-the-aclus-silence/ Beating Them With Their Own Sickle And Hammer Mon, 23 Nov 2009 08:03:40 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.2 hourly 1 By: gentrfam http://www.stoptheaclu.com/2006/12/10/aclu-where-are-you-campus-tyranny-and-the-aclus-silence/comment-page-1/#comment-59869 gentrfam Tue, 12 Dec 2006 23:15:07 +0000 http://stoptheaclu.dreamhosters.com/archives/2006/12/10/aclu-where-are-you-campus-tyranny-and-the-aclus-silence/#comment-59869 "why has the ACLU ignored such an obvious target" Did you try Googling this before you made the claim? Less than a week ago, we find on FIRE's website, that the ACLU sued the Rhode Island College. A few links down on the google search and we find that the ACLU was the mover on Iota XI v. GMU, the first Federal case to knock down speech codes. I mean, for crying out loud, it would have taken you 5 seconds to find out that the ACLU has never supported Campus Speech codes! “why has the ACLU ignored such an obvious target”

(What exactly constitutes "offensive speech" anyway? And why should anyone's DESIRE to not be offended interfere with my right to speak my mind?) What Glib is saying is basically that, plus some references where they are used. He also says it is telling that the self-proclaimed defenders of personal liberties are strangely absent when it's got anything to do with Christianity or conservatives. Article summary in 2 paragraphs. Simple enough to understand, Paul? Bear in mind, this is coming from someone who is currently almost done with his tour in college.

That's kind of like Michael Jackson questioning Stone Cold Steve Austin's masculinity. If you can't understand some fairly simple language and easily supportable conclusions, the problem isn't mine buddy. If you in fact CAN understand what I have written and find it all so objectionable, why not attempt to show me where I have erred instead of commenting just to comment? “without making a single valid point”

Have you ever been on a college campus yourself, except to gawk at chicks? Even if you do come up with something a little less hysterical and more accurate sometime, jeez, try toning it down just a little.
