The American Civil Liberties Union is using sophisticated technology to collect a wide variety of information about its members and donors in a fund-raising effort that has ignited a bitter debate over its leaders' commitment to privacy rights.

The mantra of all Leftists: "Do as I say! Not as I do!"

What I don't see brought out is that these database marketing firms can do a 'negative search' deleting their known donors and members to identify other prospects--and do opposition research on their known or prospective enemies. I know about this, having owned a small firm years ago that pioneered in the field....

Liberals make rules for the rest of us. They don't live by their own rules. What the ACLU is doing is completely in character with the conduct of the modern Left.

The issue has attracted the attention of the New York attorney general, who is looking into whether the group violated its promises to protect the privacy of its donors and members.

Silly fool .... you only have rights if the ACLU allows you to have them

The organization has been shaken by infighting since May

This was the most promising part of the whole article.

One of my Law Professors said that she would give us an Afor the course if we would send in our applications to become members of the

All Communist Lawyers United

I refused and got a B, but saved myself the $120.00 Student membership fee, I feel like I made out on that one.

I thought these idiots claimed to be for civil rights, including right to privacy. Typical liberal hypocrits.

I wonder if the ACLU could figure out how to sue itself?

I believe that what this prof. did was unethical and possibly illegal. Have you filed any type of action?

Hypocrisy and secret meetings from the left? I could have never imagined it was possible.
