The ACLU, who have always claimed to stand primarily for freedom of speech, have finally proven themselves for the hypocrits that they are. I first heard this story on XM Satellite radio.
As reported in the New York Times, the ACLU is considering a new policy in which its board members would be prohibited from publicly criticizing ACLU policies and internal administration.
"You sure that didn't come out of Dick Cheney.s office?" former ACLU board member Nat Hentoff asked. "For the national board to consider promulgating a gag order on its members -- I can't think of anything more contrary to the reason the ACLU exists."
I guess they believe in freedom of speech as long as it doesn't hurt their donations.
