Wow! You're saying that the ACLU is actually *opposed* to civil rights?
And that the reason they defend Nazis and such is to discredit the very
cause that they claim to be working for?
That's amazing. Who all is in on this conspiracy? What about all the
people who donate to the ACLU? Don't they know that the organization
is working to prevent civil rights rather than to support them?
