ACLU SPOKESMAN: RELIGION = TERROR

Posted on August 17, 2005

Hat tip to Junkyard Blog and Regular Ron
Critics of the ACLU have long suspected that the organization hates Christians. Well, one ACLU official does his best to prove it:
It’s in the choice of words, but you decide.. is American Civil Liberties Union chief Joe Cook calling the Tangipahoa Parish School Board members a bunch of terrorists?
Cook was asked about a meeting Monday, during which the school board spoke to all teachers and workers about policy for this year, and had been asked by the ACLU to remind teachers to be extra careful not to allow prayer at school functions. This is what the ACLU chief had to say:

“They believe that they answer to a higher power, in my opinion. Which is the kind of thinking that you had with the people who flew the airplanes into the buildings in this country, and the people who did the kind of things in London.”

Tangipahoa school officials tell reporters it’s ludicrous to compare the Tangipahoa school board’s “fight for religious freedom and freedom of expression in schools” with terrorist motivated attacks.

    Clearly a ridiculous statement that calls for his resignation. Not only is it highly offensive to its target but it does a great disservice to those who support the ACLU in spirit and in practice.

    It seems to me that the terrorist recruiters and the ACLU recruiters go after the same kind of people. They are commonly known as idiots.

    The ACLU is right-on… the two biggest threats facing america are Islam and Christianity… the to a lesser degree Judaism…

    Do you speak in intellectual terms or only in colloquialism? One day you’re an Armadillo and if you don’t roll up in a ball, you’re gonna get hit by a truck. Telephone poll ‘cuz a motorcycle doen’t have doors. (eye-roll) idiot.

    What is the difference between the killing of a communist during combat and the asskicking of a lawyer from the ACLU. It is a crime that we cannot take down the communist ACLU lawyers the same way. The last communist I shot splattered just like the last hog I shot.

    I guess all that dope has killed off a few too many brain cells. Do your body a favor hedgemoron, lay off the smoke. It’s idiots like you pushing the Communists to push the legalization agenda. Don’t you have a clue? Your friends at the ACLU are Communists. You know, lovers of that FAILED system.

    Where did you graduate high school? The county jail. Don’t go away mad… just go away.

    They seem to be saying that saying a prayer is the same as flying a plane into a building and killing thousands of people. So everytime you pray you might as well just have killed.
