Strange Bedfellows

ACLU Comes to Rush Limbaugh's Defense

"For many people, it may seem odd that the ACLU has come to the defense of Rush Limbaugh," ACLU of Florida Executive Director Howard Simon said in a released statement, "But we have always said that the ACLU's real client is the Bill of Rights, and we will continue to safeguard the values of equality, fairness and privacy for everyone, regardless of race, economic status or political point of view."

This shows how totally great the ACLU is, and why so many neocons hate them: Their purpose is to make sure the government obeys the law; to protect American citizens from abuse of power even if it means defending someone who has trashed them for years.

They choose values over vendetta. Good for them.

Do you have a link to that? I'd like to check that out, if you do. Thanks.

I may be mistaken but I don't believe that a fundamental precept of communisim is disarming the citizenry. It is I am sure, a fundamental precept of any totalitarian government, which unfortunately all previous attempts at communism have been. But disarming the citizenry is the aim of any government that wishes to totally control the masses, be it commie, facist, or our own.

While I might applaud the ACLU for acting in a non partisan way I still have to wonder in a way that makes me angry how Rush Limbaugh could admit buying and taking large quantities of Oxycotin without so much as being booked.

Practice in Florida is book them for what you can and if more charges become available at a later date file then.
