ACLU to Defend (yet another) Terrorist

I don't know why this is "news" anymore. John from Stop the ACLU also notes that this particular lawyer has a track record of representing Hamas. Typical.

Two civil liberties groups filed legal briefs this week in support of a Virginia man accused of helping to fund Mideast terrorists, arguing that federal agents had no right to search his home without a warrant in 1993. [More]

1 ACLU and lawyer will get a platform - client will lose and go to jail. Recall an old movie from the 50's (BW) about a Puerto Rican kid on trial for murder in NY - he's got a Public Defender (Glenn Ford?) but an ACLU type group and Kunstler type lawyer talk his mom in letting them join the team. The Rad lawyer turns the trial into a circus about race, class, and bigotry. Platform stuff for leftist groups. The Public Defender (supposedly a 2nd rate lawyer) stays on course and punches hole in the State's case (actually weak). Public Defender scores one bigtime - acquital looks good - but Rad Lawyer turns around and throws the case deliberately! He and his group want a convicted martyr for the cause - not an aquitted kid.

2 Sounds like a pretty good flick. What's it called? Reminds me of the recent story where DNA proved an executed man was indeed the murderer after all. I could picture all the Leftard activists pulling their hair out in frustration because an erroneously executed man would have been so good for their cause!

3 "Trial" 1955 - haven't seen it in over 25 years - maybe again this weekend if I can find it. Its worth it - if I remember - not a great movie - but controversial and pissed off the left in the 50s.

4 Glenn Ford never popular with the Hollywood left considered "too patriotic". Quiet guy - reserved in his personal believes (leaned conservative) but not out-spoken like Wayne. Good guy - though some Righters might consider his too easy going and accommodating.

5 Libs love it when innocent people get killed, that way they can prove they were "right". They actually hate people, and it's only "the cause" they really care about. I worked in the non-profit sector for 5 years so I saw it up close. They spouted off about "the poor", but treated the poor folks who came calling like dirt, and made volunteers cry out of sheer assholeness, because they couldn't care less about people on an individual basis. And I was a Lib when I figured that out, so I had no axe to grind at the time.

6 The ACLU is a cover up for their real organization. NAMBLA.
