I think there is a good demonstration of the ACLU's biases when the chose to side with Rush Limbaugh. It was a pretty obvious case of the government breaking it's own laws, so the ACLU said they sided with Limbaugh. Now, if the ACLU was known for defending everyone's civil rights fairly, this would have been seen as no big deal. But it was a HUGE deal. Everyone was talking about it. Those on the right were somewhat surprised while those on the left were touting it as proof the ACLU wasn't biased. Well, if the ACLU truly wasn't biased, then they would need no such proof. Just the simple fact it was a big deal proves that it was an aberration instead of the norm.

But we could look at other cases. How often do they defend religious rights of Christians? How often do they defend the second amendment (the above case is another aberration and not the norm)? How can they claim to be a civil rights group when they defend the right of someone to be a scout leader (what amendment is the right to be a scout leader anyway?) over the religious rights of the Boy Scouts? And they have even defended NAMBLA (not sure which amendment man-boy love would fall under).

You not only didn't burst my bubble, you just made my point for me. That isn't a real religious group, it is a hate group. They represent some of the worst of humanity and the fact that the ACLU defends them only shows how wrong the ACLU is.

I don't even know if you read what you posted, but that whole case is about the right to protest at funerals. They go around protesting at funerals spewing hate speech and telling people they are going to hell. They do this at the funerals of servicemen who died in Iraq, and they were going to do it at the funerals of the Amish children who were killed in the school house slaying until a radio show host convinced them not to in exchange for air time.

They are the scum of the earth and so Missouri passed a law that banned protesting funerals. The ACLU is backing this scum in trying to get that law declared unconstitutional because apparently shouting hate speech at a funeral is a constitutional right in their mind.
