Tolerating the ACLU

How long should you stand by while your neighbor plots significant ill-will against you and your family, or your neighbors, or people who look like you? Should you sit there and "tolerate" their Right to talk about it all day long? Should political action groups defend their kind of "speech" that virtually terrorizes large numbers of particular demographic groups?

The ACLU defends NAMBLA's Right to advocate man-boy "love" - pro bono - for free.

Let's save the point that NAMBLA ought to call themselves what they are, the North American Man Boy Lust (not "Love" - as they say) Association, for another day. They advocate the lowering of the age of consent for minors in an effort to legalize sex with minors. In short, they want to legalize the rape of children they can confuse into saying 'yes.' The ACLU states they don't join the advocacy of the groups they defend, but they defend their Free Speech

Will Prussian Blue's rise to racist-music infamy have the ACLU pounding down the girl's door soon, as well? These two 13 year-old twins (Lamb and Lynx Gaede) have their second album on the way, a music video, a grip of fans, and are used by David Duke to draw large crowds with their racist views of white nationalism. (By the way, their "music," like their message, sucks).

Ted Shaw, President of the NAACP's Legal Defense Fund isn't so happy about Lamb and Lynx' "spewing out that kind of garbage" and points out that they aren't espousing their own opinions, but ones they're being taught.

Still, the ACLU probably isn't far behind. When the girls attempted to help only the white victims of Katrina, they received enough angry responses that they ended up dropping off their supplies with a local Confederate memorabilia shop, rather than facing the angry mobs. Also, last month, the girls were dropped from the line-up at their hometown county fair when enough people in the community protested about the message these girls were sending. I wouldn't be surprised if the ACLU hasn't already contacted the girls about the "disenfranchisement" of their Freedom of Expression.

It's interesting - the strategic-anger that some will display over a tax policy discussed (we're talking Freedom of Speech, now) by the political-right, when compared to the inverse level of tolerance those same people display over NAMBLA or Prussian Blue's Free Speech.
