Bush Hater Says the ACLU is a Fraud
Posted on September 18, 2008
I don’t know who this guy is, but he hates Bush and the ACLU. That is rare, so I decided to link his article. Not only for the simple reason of its oddity, but he claims to have had his political speech censored by U.S. judges ordering google to block him. I don’t find that hard to believe. He claims to be a political refugee in Europe now. He’s got some wild claims, quite fantastical…but enjoyable and occasionally a few good points. Its mostly a good critique on how the ACLU is a fraud, but its sprinkled with some good ol’ Bush hate too. It makes me wonder if the ACLU just gave the guy excuses because they thought he was a conspiracy theory nutcase….not that I would ever judge him that way. Hey U.S. Judges! Just because you disagree with someone’s politics gives you no right to threaten murder!
Regrettably, the reality is that the ACLU is a very weak and timid organization, despite the huge amounts of money that they raise. The ACLU often refuses to help many important cases in which freedom of speech is being denied. The ACLU is big on raising lots of money and issuing press releases, and chasing after a few cases that are already in the media and which already have other organizations involved in them, like the Guantanamo Bay prison scandal.
The fact is that the ACLU abandons and systematically denies help to many of the people, who deserve the ACLU’s help the most, and who have nowhere else to turn. The ACLU has also been very weak on confronting some of the most important civil liberties issues connected with the George Bush regime and America’s right wing. The ACLU totally abandons and ignores, and leaves to persecution, jail and even death, many victims who are outside the notice of America’s corporate media.
The ACLU was actually known as a disappointing fraud in the Joe McCarthy era, too, when the ACLU submitted to the government witch-hunt against leftists. The ACLU was so worthless in those times, that famous civil-rights advocate Corliss Lamont quit the board of the ACLU in disgust in 1951. So the ACLU was a sham and a failure even in those days more than half a century ago. (Corliss Lamont founded the National Emergency Civil Liberties Committee as a rival which actually fought Joe McCarthy, and which helped the victims of the government, instead of ignoring them like the ACLU. Lamont’s organisation no longer exists.)
Fun stuff…read it all on the unbanned site!
