There was a group that gathered a few hundred people in front of ACLU headquarters and sang Christmas Carols. I thought that was awesome. Personally, however, Id be more inclined to leave them a burning bag of s*** in their lobby for Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rex Kickass Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Ah more fake outrage. Here's some of the ACLU's anti-Christian court cases that they helped with since 2004. September 20, 2005: ACLU of New Jersey joins lawsuit supporting second-grader's right to sing "Awesome God" at a talent show. August 4, 2005: ACLU helps free a New Mexico street preacher from prison. February 2005: ACLU of Pennsylvania successfully defends the right of an African American Evangelical church to occupy a church building purchased in a predominantly white parish. December 22, 2004: ACLU of New Jersey successfully defends right of religious expression by jurors. November 20, 2004: ACLU of Nevada supports free speech rights of evangelists to preach on the sidewalks of the strip in Las Vegas. November 9, 2004: ACLU of Nevada defends a Mormon student who was suspended after wearing a T-shirt with a religious message to school. August 11, 2004: ACLU of Nebraska defends church facing eviction by the city of Lincoln. July 10, 2004: Indiana Civil Liberties Union defends the rights of a Baptist minister to preach his message on public streets. June 3, 2004: Under pressure from the ACLU of Virginia, officials agree not to prohibit baptisms on public property in Falmouth Waterside Park in Stafford County. May 11, 2004: After ACLU of Michigan intervened on behalf of a Christian Valedictorian, a public high school agrees to stop censoring religious yearbook entries. March 25, 2004: ACLU of Washington defends an Evangelical minister's right to preach on sidewalks. But hey, I'm sure they'll hate all the Christmas cards. What I think is great is that Bill O'Reilly, hater of the word "holiday," had an O'Reilly Factor "holiday tree ornament" for sale on the Fox News website until two days ago when it was quickly changed to "Christmas Tree Ornament" in the middle of the night.

Furthermore...know why it was changed? Because one of those "Liberal hate websites" O'Reilly always b****es about...one of the guys doing diaries @ Kos, discovered it, posted it, and it made the rounds on those liberal websites, with each and every one of us laughing as we saw it.

Rex Kickass Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 I just thought it was funny. Call it holiday, Christmas, giftmas, Tet, solstice, hannukah, whatever. It's a holiday. It's not actually under siege. But not a lot happens politically in December usually so some people have to make stuff up to get pissed about I guess.

EvilMonkey Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 I have often posted here about how I feel themedia is quick to point out the ® in politicians when they are accused of wrongdoing, and ignore the (D) when they are accused. Here is a story that seems to take it to a new level. http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20051128/pl_af...HNlYwMlJVRPUCUl The sample line I am complaining about is Randy "Duke" Cunningham, 63, who represents President George W. Bush's party for the California town of Escondido, pleaded guilty in court in San Diego to conspiracy and tax evasion. WHY was that mentioned? There will always be republicans in government. 20 years from now, will they still be representing George Bush's party? This is a new low in reporting, I think.

Oh, they're f***ing SAINTS. We all know that. We'll have to go to some obscure lame ass website, but I'm sure we can dig up s*** if we wanted to spend the time. If they had an "R" behind their name, it would be linked on about 6,000,000,000 mainstream media sites by now. That's the point. Again, these assclowns ALL do it, however, the media is obsessed with making sure the "R"'s are caught first. And no, it doesn't make it right that ANYONE does it, but the "mainstream" media makes sure that the "R"'s are reported first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Kickass Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 That's bulls*** and you know it. You're basically sitting there and acting as though AP reporters are rubbing their hands together saying "If I call it The President's party, this'll bring down the whole administration!" I hear Democrats complain about media bias. I hear Republicans complain about media bias. In the end, I don't think most media is biased. Just lazy.

If the story is sensational enough, it doesn't matter who it is. Tom DeLay is a juicy story because he's a Republican - but according to state law AT THE TIME THE EVENTS OCCURRED, he didn't break any law. Was it bull s***? Yep. Is he slime? Yep. But he's getting dragged through the crapper because he's a Republican. Period. And unlike Tex, who loves DeLay, I don't care for him. But his story definitely proves an example of an agenda.

Actually that is incorrect as far as I know...the law Texas passed after Delay's wheelings and dealings happened basically just restated the text of an older law, which is why Earle was able to secure the indictments.
