I just want to know how many people hate the ACLU?

The ACLU should be destroyed. It is out to destroy the United States but unfortunately , our stupid, archaic laws protect it and its un-American members.

The truth be known, and admitted by "RUSH LIMBAUGH" him self, the "ACLU GOT RUSH LIMBAUGH OFF" They helped this loud-mouth, and protected his civil rights to search and seizure. Another NEO_CON story the NEO_CON'S wont tell the truth about, because Clinton must have done it, some how.

The Alliance Defense Fund has actually. They sue to keep OUR RELIGOUS FREEDOM. Something the ACLU is against in alot of these cases. The ACLU does some good fine. They need to be dismantled and rebuilt though. All groups like that need to be every few years because they get too powerful and forget what they are supposed to do.

The ACLU should be called the Anti-Christian Liberals Union.  One thing is to stand up for the rights of some poor uneducated person who just got fired for no reason and can't defend himself from the big corporation, etc... but to be so totally against religion that you would proactively and without a single complaint, spend time and effort to stamp out prayer, etc from all government ceremonies, etc., is just insane.  The lawyers who work for and the people who support the ACLU really should look at themselves and ask, "isn't the fact that I am against religion (which in its best form, molds family values and keeps kids from being raised in broken homes, etc.), make me participant to the destruction of the very thing I am trying to protect (the well-being of the average person).  It is actually leading to the deterioration of our values as a society instead of contributing to them.  Don't be fooled... unless you are trash in society, you will never need their help.  Who knows if you are trash?  Not me.  I don't know, but you should... and if you are, you still have a chance to remedy yourself. But remember, once you do, they will no longer be interested in helping you because there will be no news value to it.

4---\nThey are just plain hated...

First of all, the ACLU would have nothing to do with this case. They generally only take cases involving the government infringing on people's civil liberties.\n\nSecond of all, where's your source for this case? You have a few specific details, so surely you must have some news story or a link of some kind to more information? I have a hard time believing your statement.\n\nThird of all, the answer to your question is "no."

Good question... call the ACLU.\n\nhttp://www.aclu.org/

Do you have the money to pursue these things?  Maybe, maybe not.  The ACLU stands up and helps those who think they have been wronged who may not have the means nor smarts to do it on their own.\n\nThey look after civil rights in the constitution just as the NRA rights for 2nd amendment rights.   Both are necesary advocates for our constitutional rights..   You may not always like what either does but in general they're good org's to have in place.

I along with any sane person thinks the ACLU needs to be shut down using RICO statues for reasons such as this. I have no idea why any group would ever stick up for those who hurt the most helpless of us all, our young. NAMBLA is quite possibly the greatest abomination existing in our country. I think that anyone who hurts a child should be executed, locked up for life, or at least be forced to wear an ankle bracelet for life. And those who even attempt to hurt them should be locked up as well. I, as a parent, watch my kids like a hawk after watching this show. I also think the whole entrapment argument doesn't hold water as this is one of the most perverse and depraved criminal acts.

Google it... Or, better yet, go to the place the cops hate: The ACLU website. There are plenty of cases of abuse quoted there

Sure. Then let's let every other person who wants to enter into some freak union have at it too. We'll have people marrying monkeys, watermelons, like eight people at a time in some state-sactioned marital gang bang. Sure, what the hell. It'll destroy the fabric of what America was ... but at least we'll be tolerant.\n\nThis is such a stupid question. The whole concept is just off. Just because you WANT to do something and most people think it's okay doesn't mean it automatically allowed. I'm sure the majority of people would condone cheating on their taxes ... let's start shaking our fists in anger and see if we can get that allowed too.\n\nYou see what the ACLU has done to this country? Like Dennis Miller said ... the ACLU will sue to keep you from putting up a nativity display at Christmas and then sue to defend the right of the local stoner who stumbles into the display and wants to screw one of the sheep.\n\nFreaking liberals are RUINING this country!\n\nP.S.\n\nIt's HILARIOUS that you posted a question asking about the consensus on gay marriage in the "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgendered" section. What in the world did you think the consensus would be?

Not everyone. I think our American society has given them a "bad name" but so far, I've not run into one that I have any reason to dislike. It's stupid, if you ask me.

Of course I'm appalled... but that's the ACLU.  Their origins were sound and reasonable... but they have crossed into areas that are amusing/appalling !!\n\nThe ACLU will defend anyones right to their interpretation of "free-speech":  the Klan, White Supremicists, Islamic Terrorists...\n\nThen again... it's nice to have a counter to the Religious Right who wish to ban: Harry Potter books, Catcher in the Rye, etc.

I've heard that and have wondered about it quite often. I guess a lot of liberals are only generous with other people's money.\n\nOkay - I missed something - where did you say you wanted to raise taxes?!?\n\nAnd it's the ACLU that supports NAMBLA, moron.\n\nAh, I see NOBRAIN is contributing her usual intelligent tidbits. Her mommy really needs to limit her computer time.
