The actual site is even more offensive;

Instead if listing the amendment accurately, it says that Freedom of Speech is the first freedom listed in the Bill of Rights. They exclude the passage about Freedom of Religion in order to make their point. Unbelievable.

I just sent the
ACLU an email pointing out their omission and asked them to be more forthright. What do ya think the chances of that will be?

I agree, TN2000 -- this is the actual outrage here. They "ellipsed" freedom of religion because this particular page focuses on ACLU's version of free speech. They butcher freedom of religion on another page, as rollo tomasi and Javelina note.

The site says that it's the 'first freedom mentioned in the First Amendment'. They're right, of course.

Wow! Good find. You are correct. Here is what they say on their site.

"It is probably no accident that freedom of speech is the first freedom mentioned in the First Amendment: "

That is just flat out incorrect. Some would call it a lie!
