ACLU is blasted by Rees Lloyd on Hannity & Colmes

[fleshtreat78]

ACLU are terrorists they should be bombed

[TheMightyShell]

ACLU fights for equal representation. There's probably no God, get over it.

[SwordSworn147]

aclu fights for christians

google it

[watup962]

Wow, the ignorance present in these comments is astounding.

[duchesseagle404]

PLS AMERICA LETS SHUT DOWN THE ACLU...THEY ARE AGAINST AMERICA....

READ MORE ABOUT THE ACLU PLS GO TO  GOPUSA.COM

[duchesseagle404]

From the beginning, Roger Baldwin instructed those involved in the ACLU movement to make sure it always looked like a very patriotic organization. He instructed them to..."steer away from making it look like a socialist enterprise. We want to look like patriots in every thing we do. We want to get a lot of flags, talk a good deal about the Constitution and what our forefathers wanted to make the country and show that we are really folks that stand by the spirit of our institutions."

[duchesseagle404]

Most Americans are not even aware of the ACLU's radical left birth and its dedication to following a communist-socialist agenda for the past 85 years. The ACLU was created at a unique gathering held in 1919 by an activist socialist named Roger Baldwin.

[duchesseagle404]

Others of socialist-communist leaning assisted him with input at this assembly. Some participating were Elizabeth Gurley, later to become the head of the Communist Party, USA. Also at the event were the Soviet intelligence agent Agnes Smedley and Socialist Party leader Norman Thomas.

[duhboss1]

That second guy to interview him was getting a big chubby when he got to complain about the ACLU upholding the law, you could tell.

[PtH888999]

The ACLU fights for the constitution of this nation. They will fight for ANYONE who's rights have been violated. They fight for christians, muslims, atheists, blacks, whites , hispanics, republicans, democrats.

The ACLU does a great service to this country.

[vivalaleta]

@PtH888999 Bullshit.

[PtH888999]

@vivalaleta Nice blanket statement, care to back it up?

[vivalaleta]

Since its creation on Jan. 19, 1920, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has often been at the center of controversy and public debate. They have taken on issues ranging from abortion, the death penalty, and immigration to religious displays, drug policy, and the war on terror. In fact, the ACLU has appeared before the US Supreme Court more times than anyone except the US Department of Justice.

[vivalaleta]

@PtH888999 Consider this statement from the ACLU: "Immigrants pay more than $90 billion in taxes every year and receive only $5 billion in welfare. Without their contributions to the public treasury, the economy would suffer enormous losses." If 32.5 million immigrants (the total of legal and illegal immigrants, according to the recent U.S. Census figures) really pay $90 billion in taxes, then they pay half the taxes the average native-born American pays.

[duhboss1]

@vivalaleta Perhaps they have half the income of an average native-born American. And in any case, they're still paying 18 times as much as they consume, regardless of whether they include illegal and legal immigrants.

And, believe it or not, many illegal immigrants actually do pay income tax, as they believe that it will somehow earn them citizenship.

[vivalaleta]

@PtH888999 Note too that the ACLU combines both legal and illegal immigrants into its statistic. Most taxes paid by immigrants are paid by legal immigrants. Illegal immigrants often pay little or no taxes because many of them are working "under the table" in the underground, cash-based economy.

[dontletithappen]

Lenin stated: "Communism alone is capable of providing really complete democracy." James Madison, the "Father of the Constitution" had something different to say about a democracy: "Democracy is the most vile form of government ... democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention, have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property, and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths."

[dontletithappen]

The ACLU was founded in the 1920s by Roger Baldwin and Crystal Eastman, described as a "progressive" and "the perfect feminist." Earl Browder was general secretary of the Communist Party of the United States from 1930 through its dissolution in 1944. When the party was reconstituted as the Communist Political Association later that year, Browder was chosen as its president. The ACLU's founding was attached at the hip to communist organizations.

[willrocks93]

you rightwingers are the rebels now, as the left wingers were under bush. You are both too stupid and self rightoius to smell your shit is exactly the same.

[willrocks93]

so the aclu is corrpt, yet the assholes who violate the constiuion everyday are fighting, for, robotic freedom. you blohards are funny, maybe terriosts are communists as well. wouldnt that be perfect. im not partisian, olberman is a d bag as well.

[vrghiks]

The ACLU is the right arm of the devil!

[watermelonygoodness]

How is the ACLU Communist? Who in America would rather live under Communist rule than under George Bush? I'm not a Communist, but for the record, there are nations where Communism has been effectively implemented.

[sissyfist]

The ACLU is not Communist. Jesus right wingers think anyone with a Bachelors degree is a commie. I totally despise neo cons...wrong on every foreign policy issue ever. Oh wait Kissinger bombing Cambodia, that was awesome. Not.

[waynegasparro]

Visit Christian white nation . name

[libbie7777]

visit Jesus

[XxXxINSIGHTxXxX]

The ACLU site and words hold no weight with me. They are corrupt

[XxXxINSIGHTxXxX]

The ACLU is suppose to be about helping all with civil liberties and human rights. But they have no problem with ppl like farrahkan and his cult like followers who advocate kill white race, destroy their images and all they hold dear. death to white race world wide and death to America. The ACLU is not even breathing a word about these hate groups of blacks that said/say kill whitey, him,his women, his children and kill their babies too. Turning blacks into false religious radicals up 2 no good

[XxXxINSIGHTxXxX]

You miss my point. I said the ACLU allows hate to be spewed. And the stuff I mentioned being spews out is fitting their agenda.

[OffspringFTW65]

@XxXxINSIGHTxXxX It is because they view us all as equal, Men, women and children needs someone to look up to to defend their needs, This is "God" however he isn't doing shit. This is why people need to take things into their own hands, we hold our minds to be high and invincible, however our bodies are not. Make an example of a threat to the common man, a threat to society, and destroy them on national television. In my eyes it is the only way, the human mind cannot be beaten.

[poetofdemorest]

GOOGLE THIS ACLU and Michelle Winkler. This lady is being charged for praying. A principal Frank Lay and a athletic director, Robert Freeman are being charged with CRIMINAL acts of praying at school. Yet, ACLU represents religeous groups????? At least Hannity and Colmes are speaking out against this evil organization. Hey come to my house and try to take my cross of my yard and watch what happens HAHAHAHAA

[HerbWalker]

Boy I cant wait to see the ACLU standing before Jesus Christ on judgement day!

[dosomethin888]

Seriously!!!!

[avataz]

The ACLU is a facist organization who is plotting the destruction of America along with the Tri-Lateral Commission

[111thedude111]

You talk of deaths caused by self-proclaimed 'communist" countries when there has never been any communist country in modern times. How about deaths caused by capitalist ventures and countries? The ACLU has defended Christians before, just look up their case records on their site.

[dosomethin888]

The ACLU has defended enough Christians to make it look as if they are bi-partisan. But, they are taking so many rights away from Christians it is unbelievable. They are an anti-religious organization and I wouldn't trust any information they have on their site. Look elsewhere for the truth about the ACLU.

[111thedude111]

I didn't. I googled "ACLU defends Christians." And I'm not a pinko, as my comment my make me look like. Im a free-market anarchist.

[dosomethin888]

Okay, well you aren't going to get the truth about the ACLU by googling a piece of information about them.

[goldendoomer]

AMERICANS need to stop fearing the liberal and the politically correct. WE built this country, WE will run it and see to it's well-being!

[evb4mvp]

i cant trust fox news nor this idiot who posted this

[Joelomite]

ACLU can go to hell. Send them to another dictatorship country.

[bobjr29]

lets have a war with aclu

[streetswell]

When Sean Hannity was fired from his first talk radio job for insulting a lesbian caller, the local chapter of the ACLU successfully got him reinstated onm First Amendment grounds. I wonder why Seansie isn't present to say thank you?

[troyalldis]

The ACLU is obviously un-American.

[Jaric55]

Yeah, only if you think America should be a the Christian Republic of America..

[troyalldis]

There was NEVER to be a state recognized church, as there was in Europe; the founders saw the danger in that. But there was to be a continuance of the christian religion. Church and religion are NOT the same thing.

[Jaric55]

Yes, there never was to be one, but the Religous Right is trying to institutionalize religion in the government with their "morals." Church and Religion are EXACTLY the same thing.

[troyalldis]

That is where most people are so wrong. Church and religion are NOT the same thing. I'm sorry but if you think that it's because you haven't researched it. Get back to me after you have investigated it.

[Jaric55]

Look, I'm not interested in word play. These two words to me are describing the same thing. The only reason someone would want to separate them is if they wanted to get around the separation of church and state, becuase it doesn't literally say "separation of religion and state," although that is what it really means.

[troyalldis]

"word play" So county and country mean the same thing too? It's as easiy as getting a dictionary and looking up the two words. What they refer to are two different concepts--they are NOT the same thing. They Founders were completly agianst a State Church, however they did want the Christian religion to be apart of government.

PLEASE, before you comment back, look up church and religion in a dictionary

[Jaric55]

No, I'm not going to look anything up becuase it would be a waste of my time. You said you think that the founding fathers wanted the Christian religion to be a part of the government, and I disagree. Until you present proof, which you cannot, I will not bother arguing with you. Just tell me how we have a "freedom of religion" if we HAVE TO follow laws by a government that makes it laws based on a particular religion??

[troyalldis]

How unfortunate. Not even willing to get a dictionary and look up two words.

[Jaric55]

I guess you forgot to read my reply. I recognize that church and religion have different meanings in the dictionary, but the founding fathers used them interchangeably.

[jordman2013]

has the ACLU ever heard of the first amendment. people have a right to express religion and and their opinions in public? The ACLU is trying to opress Capitalism

[Jaric55]

Uh...yes the ACLU protects the first amendment, along with the rest of your rights. "Public" in the sense that it is in the open allowed religion..but "public" in the sense that it is funded by tax-dollars...is NOT allowed. Opress capitalism?? I'm guessing that was a joke.

[dosomethin888]

The ACLU only defends the "first amendment" and "freedom of speech" when it benefits their agenda.

[Jaric55]

Right...becuase Nazis and Gay Haters fit right in with the ACLU crowd. Bottom line is...christians think they have a right to instill their teachings in the government, when they don't. The ACLU defends those fighting against this myth of a "christian nation," and other attempted breaches of the U.S Constitution.

[XxXxINSIGHTxXxX]

does the ACLU defend all the many islamic attacks on people in the USA? Does the ACLU even mention to ppl like Farrahkan and his nation of islam in the USA to pipe down there hater of humans who have light skin!

[Jaric55]

Huh? The ACLU doesn't defend violence or hate in itself. It only defends the freedom to hate. The ACLU doesn't tell anyone to "pipe down."

[insanic1]

why are the interviewers on american tv companies annoying?

[tisthefire]

people seem to ignore the aclu defending the rights of christians to protest gay pride events, the ability of individual pharmacists to deny prescriptions that violate their religious beliefs, defending the rights of a jehovah's witness who would not swear he would bear arms for his country for religious reasons, the list goes on and on and on.

[bigajosep]

who gives a shit about crosses? the aclu have done and continue to do much more important things..such as protecting our freedoms and liberties

[XxZaitenxX]

yes, freedoms and liberties that protect rapists and murderers.

[bigajosep]

yes as well as revolutionaries who need to overthrow their government.

[heifer2228]

if "nobody cares except the ACLU", then why is the story on the news?

[Keszler]

yeah they are communist!!! lol your a fucking tool

[GlobalWarmist]

Communism is responsible for 180,000,000 murders of innocent people. Socialism has never worked. The US Democrats are the tools, the Republicans are constantly kicking piny butt....

[Keszler]

i guess socialized programs in Europe are failing right? Like um Spain and Italy. Its not the ideology of socialism thats fails, it the people in control. I don't want a complete socialized government in America but I do want some programs.

[GlobalWarmist]

Human dignity is all you need in a society. Taking care of parentless children and the disabled is not socialism in nature. Police, Fire & the Military are not socialist programs. Protecting people from greedy water and air polluters is not a democratic principle these are American Principles.

The welfare state, teachers unions, Social Security and universal healthcare are socialist programs that are run by the state and are complete utter failures. Europe would be dead if it wasn't for America

[Keszler]

Your argument the Europe would be dead if it wasn't for America is irrelevantly. So taking care of the poor or at least trying to is not an American principle? Your arguments about socialized programs fail is not irrelevant because: just because programs have failed before does not mean new ones can't

[HitleryClinton]

whats that saying about doing the same thing over and over again... and insanity?

[Keszler]

no its called perfecting things programs in America have not been a complete failure

[XxZaitenxX]

Socialism works, but nowhere near as effectively as the beehive and anthill.

[XxZaitenxX]

it isn't the governments job to take care of people, their job is to rule over is with them under our control, we need to save our own problems, besides, welfare is abused far too much, there's way too much opportunity out there, noone is forced into prostitution except by slave traders, work at Mcdonalds or something. I bet if we had illegal immigrants replaced with the unemployed and had people actually work instead of abusing our tax dollars, the economy wouldn't suck right now.

[JohnSmith54533]

Capitalist wars have killed far more, but that's not my point.

The ACLU protects corporate rights in the Constitution. In other words, they're not Communists. They have never advocated the proletariat controlling the means of production.

[XxZaitenxX]

Capitalists fight in defense, the ACLU is forcing their idealogies on us and have killed probably millions of people by now by letting rapists and murderers go free in about 4 years of being in prison, where they get to live for free there. The ACLU was founded by Communists with the goal of destroying the United State's values. I saw in a vid to the right that the ACLU protected people's rights to protest a soldiers funeral, they only support their own agenda and do nothing to protect victims.

[JohnSmith54533]

Dude, the ACLU handles civil rights cases, not criminal cases. They have never defended and criminals whether they are murderers, rapists, or shoplifters.

[logalogalog]

They have defended Al Qaida.

[GreedCorp]

Excellent job articulating America's position describing the subversive ACLU.

Wasn't the founder a devout Communist?

[soolkyut]

Left and Right are both stupid. Come to the centre.....

[overmind25]

Don't be silly. The center isn't every the "right choice". That doesn't mean that one "side" has all of the correct ideas and represents what it states it stands for.

[soolkyut]

I'd say the centre doesnt really have any original concepts, but instead realizes that both sides have good aspects and can cherry pick the best idea to get the job done. I should have said "anyone who sticks only to one side, not thinking the other has ANY good ideas... is stupid"

[soolkyut]

"Look at Europe, no God there?"...... WHAT? I didnt realize Europe waas Communist. Boy do I need to go read the news. When did this happen?

[bronco3250]

Hey there Thack, I guess you did watch what I set up for you...good job. Your suggestion that there is no God in Europe tells me you dont get out much...do you? Cathedrals, the Vatican, etc.

[soolkyut]

umm... what? I've been to Europe a number of times. Before you start attcking you should stop and look around. Read the "About this video" part. it says "The first thing that must happen is the Communist must get rid of all Religion starting with Christianity. Hey if you don't believe me look at Europe. No God there"

[soolkyut]

lol.... how nice of you to let them stay

[R682884]

The ACLU should have been stopped in 1920 when they were founded. 87 years later and this agency (ACLU) still shows how anti-U.S. it is and how communist and socalist it is.

[beavermac]

you must defend everyone when it comes to freedom of speech and freedom of press,its a 2 sided sword

[macman13]

"Common sense position"

"Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen."

[sagsarvestani]

Their founder was communist,communists by definition are atheists.What they may do on behalf of the religious is done for effect,not out of conviction or ethics.If this non-profit tax exempt crowd had any ethics they wouldn't stiff taxpayers with legal fees totaling over $8M in recent years

[overmind25]

Communists do not have to be atheists.

[bronco3250]

Uhh they do in communist China, they did communist soviet union, they do in every communist country known on earth, so you may not have to be, but you better not let the communist government know.

[College79]

What? Religion is allowed in China, Buddhist, taoist, christians, hindus, islamist are all in China. Although 59% ZI beliee remain unreligious.

[overmind25]

Eastern Europe was Christain.

[soolkyut]

Commuism does not require religion, however many communist governments choose to banish religion as a measure of control. But in a "well run and fair" communist government (which we've never seen) religion is not an issue.

[evilclown9911]

russia used to shoot people who yelled, "Christ has Risen!," on easter

so, in a sence, communist governments frown on religion.

[soolkyut]

USSR wasnt a well run or particularly fair state... so yeah, I'm not surprised

[evilclown9911]

i wasnt either when my pastor told me about what they did on easter

[overmind25]

The Soviet Union was not the only "communist" nation. EASTERN EUROPE

[phillypa]

ACLU defends christians. How can they be anti-christian?

[sambasol22]

And to address the faithless country question. Just look at the societies where there is the least homicide, the least violent crime. These are the most atheistic countries in the world. The UN development index ranks societies by violent crime, literacy, educational attainment, and per capita incom. Apart from the US, the top 20 has the most atheistic societies on the planet. (Netherlands, Canada, Australia, Sweden)

[sambasol22]

The ACLU came to the aid of a high school senior who wanted to put a quote from the bible in her high school yearbook. And when Jerry Falwell's church was being denied the right to incorporate in Virginia, the ACLU helped strike down that provision of the Virginia Constitution. So please check your facts before you go off on a tangent with your name calling. I think Anti-Christian is an untrue label.

[jet499]

True the ACLU IS ANTI-CHRSTIAN NOT ANTI-RELIGOUS

[phillypa]

false. they are not even anti-christian.

[JeffersDodge]

The ACLU are Communist and bent on transforming America into a socialist nation. Little do they know that free market capitalism, a Republic, patriotism and faith are the ultimate condition of a healthy society.

[whoami2b]

I would say faith has NOTHING to do with a healthy society.

[JeffersDodge]

Show me one faithless country half as healthy as America?

Take away faith in a higher power and who do you have faith in? The Government? Bush, Reid, Pelosi? Having faith in yourself is half the picture but where do you derive your values standards, morality, ethics and principals? Is liberty and freedom a right given to you from government or from God? I am not a religious person but I am personally convinced that if faith is left out from the above equation you are left feeling empty.

[whoami2b]

Religion has nothing to do with morality, standars etc. It is inherent to everybody. There are plenty of "faithless" countries. Just look at a great many European countries where religion no longer plays any great role. There has been no detrimental impact of that. I am an atheist, but I am certainly not left feeling empty. To the contrary I feel quite happy with the fact that I am not living a lie.

[phillypa]

America has highest murder rates and crime. Is that healthy? Is that faith? God?

[dentex1986]

in the 1950's not only was america much more christian,but there were almost zero gun laws.yet the crime rates were extremely low. as liberalism goes up, crime goes up.

[soolkyut]

That is not necessarily correlated. Global Warming is caused by pirates... since pirates are declining, and temperatures are rising, they must be linked!

[bronco3250]

Well, I can assure you the gangs, videos, music and movies are all more factors than anything you can think.

Ben Franklin, "Only a moral and just nation can sustain such freedom with which we have provided."

I guess they werent so dumb...now were they?

[PtH888999]

@JeffersDodge

How about you don't have faith at all and require evidence for your beliefs.

Define healthy, because i can name atheist majority countries that are MUCH SAFER and has alot less crime than the US.

[JeffersDodge]

It has everything to do with faith in God or in Self to be the noblest person you can be. To achieve and produce for your family, your community. Faith in a power higher than yourself gives you humility. I would run from a godless society. There has been more wars more death more destruction from godless societies than all such mayhem in the name of any God.

[whoami2b]

Do you think people who do not believe in god do not achieve and produce for their families and their communities? God is not required for humility. Last of all, I refuse to believe the idea that godless societies are more destructive. Absolute rubbish.
