You mean like the American Civil Liberties Union, People For The American Way, and radio programs named Democracy Now and All Things Considered?

The ACLU says they fight for civil liberties, and that they do, for the Klan or for students' rights (though they're hardly perfect; they had a shameful period of collusion with the FBI). The People For The American Way has the neutral-sounding name of the interest group.

The ACLU picks and chooses their battles. They were late to come in on Rush Limbaugh's side regarding the privacy of his medical files (late coming in purely voiced support, no legal contribution was needed or requested).

The ACLU fights Chrisitianity in the schools and the "public square" but does not challenge the teaching of Islam in public school curriculum (even including the reading of Islamic prayers) nor did they voice in on the request for a city to permit and amplified prayer call 5 times a day from a mosque in Michigan.
