You're a fool. The ACLU is more than willing to defend ANYONE's right to civil liberties, including kids who want to wear confederate flags to school, or organize their own student led prayer groups. To call a group that defends our quickly disappearing personal rights "communists," you really show your true stripes. I’d like to second Rob’s comment. You’re a fool.

Thu, 18 Sep 2008 17:29:22 +0000 http://www.palmettoscoop.com/?p=3055#comment-209656 Seriously, do you even read what you link to, even your own posts? Your headline is deliberately misleading. The ACLU is not proposing to make "prisons into polling places". You say yourself they want "the state to automatically restore voting rights when people leave prison", not before. When you say the ACLU teamed up with the DOC to "stifle legislative attempts to look into allegations", the piece that you wrote and linked to clearly says the ACLU wanted the state to "look into allegations", and you were griping that Ozmint was just now pretending he was on board with it. As for the ballot access issues, if you're really so serious about strictly following election laws, you should talk to your friends in the McCain and Obama camps. Neither of these campaigns met the filing deadline in Texas, and Bob Barr is suing to keep them off the ballot- a reversal of what happened to him in West Virginia and elsewhere.
