NYCLU: DO AS I SAY, NOT AS I DO
Posted on November 6, 2005
I found this over at The Corner written by Andy McCarthy.
Hypocrisy is on show in a Manhattan courtroom today. The New York Civil Liberties Union will argue for the second day before Judge Richard Berman that the city’s subway bag search policy is an “unjustifiable erosion of the privacy rights of the American public.” Yet take a walk into the NYCLU’s Manhattan headquarters - which it shares with other organizations - and you’ll find a sign warning visitors that all bags are subject to search. One of the city’s lawyers, Jay Kranis, pointed this out yesterday in court while cross-examining a witness. Either the NYCLU believes its headquarters are at greater risk of a terrorist threat than the city’s subway system, or it believes ordinary New Yorkers don’t deserve the same safety precautions that they do.
Isn’t that interesting? The ACLU caught as in a prime example of hypocrisy. Seriously, what kind of terrorists would want to blow up the ACLU? They are one of their best allies. Something has to be wrong here. Perhaps the ACLU are searching bags for crosses and Bibles. I can’t add much to this one, it speaks for itself, and it says a lot about the ACLU’s “principles.” They are most definitely compromised in this case.

So you don’t recognize the difference between public property and private property. Are you some kind of communist or something?
Jason does not recognize that bombs go off with as much force on public property. What is he some kind of idiot or something?
Dethanial,
The Fourteenth Amendment limits the actions of governments. It does not affect the right of a private organization to control its own property. Want to empower governments to engage in useless random searches that divert police officers from doing real police work? Then amend the Constitution.
Apparently the Supreme court ruled against the 14th amendment early in the year about private property acording to Jason.
I love this story!
Does anyone actually expect honesty and equality from anyone associated with the ACLU or its offshoots?
Doncos - no we dont. The communist party has always promoted it agenda with deception.
(All Communists Lovers Unite) ACLU can never surprise me nor shock me. I expect the worst from them and am never deisappointed. I get angry yes, but never disappointed. They are our such our evil as well as their best friends CAIR. What a perfect marriage the two of them are.
If you are innocent who cares if there is a need to go through your bags. Obviously the ACLU is encouraging the terrorists to use the subways. Grrrrrr!
Is that their or their landlord’s policy?
actus - - The aclu has legally stolen enough money to buy their own buildings. Why do they need a landlord.
“actus - - The aclu has legally stolen enough money to buy their own buildings. Why do they need a landlord.”
Even if you don’t need a landlord you still might have one.
