ACLU smoking dope at border?
Minutemen say photos show 'legal observers' getting high

ACLU "legal observers" allegedly smoking marijuana while observing Minuteman volunteers (Photo: South East Arizona Republican Club)

Volunteers with the Minuteman Project in Arizona say "legal observers" sent by the ACLU to monitor the citizen border patrol have been seen smoking marijuana in violation of the law.

Photographs were posted on the website of the South East Arizona Republican Club after Minuteman participants reported they saw, and smelled, the ACLU workers smoking pot.

Eleanor Eisenberg, executive director of the ACLU of Arizona, did not respond to a request for comment given to her assistant by WorldNetDaily.


As WND reported, ACLU activists shadowing the Minuteman Project at the U.S.-Mexican border are actively aiding and abetting aliens attempting to enter the country illegally, according to a spokesman for the volunteer civilian force.

Grey Deacon told Joseph Farah's nationally syndicated "WorldNetDaily RadioActive" audience Friday that ACLU monitors sent to the border to watch Minuteman activity and report civil-liberties abuses to authorities have begun flashing lights, sounding horns and warning off illegals and their "coyote" human smugglers from entering territory patrolled by the volunteers.

"They are actively engaging in criminal activity," said Deacon.

Deacon said the ACLU activists are resorting to new tactics because of the success the Minuteman Project is having in assisting the Border Patrol in spotting illegal aliens and in generating publicity about the insecure U.S.-Mexico border.

The ACLU dispatched its representatives to the 23-mile section of the Arizona border patrolled by the Minutemen after predicting the group would abuse the rights of illegal aliens. No such abuses have materialized to date.

"The ACLU's position is that illegal aliens have a right to enter our border and stay in this country as long as they want," said Deacon. "That's what one of the leaders of the group told me personally."

A volunteer reported, according to the South East Arizona Republican Club, "The ACLU is getting desperate to get something on the Minutemen and are trying to provoke incidents now."

"They pushed one of the Minutemen the other night trying to get him to push back. Didn't work. Then last night they walked up and shined a spotlight right in a Minuteman's face from six inches or so away. Didn't work that time either. We immediately report these types of contacts with them to the sheriff to counter any claims they try to make against us. They should be called the UCLU (Un-American Civil Lawsuit Union).

"They give us the middle finger every chance they get to try to get us to react. We are still trying to figure out if that is their age or IQ."

All of this makes perfect sense. The Dopes sit at the border to make sure that the invaders bring their supply of dope do so without interruption.

"Apparently the ACLU may believe the most efficient way to realize this goal is to confound the US legal system."

..and keep their volunteers brain dead with pot.

"predicting the group would abuse the rights of illegal aliens"

So illegal aliens (law breakers) have rights, but the folks who pay the bills (taxpayers) have none. Sounds about right to me /sarcasm off

Oh this is rich, not only do we have reports, but also photographic evidence. The ACLU may face RICO if it is not careful.

ROTFL!!!! At the irony... The ACLU wanteed to go down to the border and break-up the Minute Men, but instead it seems the Minute Men make break-up the ACLU...

The poetic justice is so sweet...

I actually received a call at my home from Michelle Malkin about this yesterday. She's running this story down and wanted details, the original photos, and the original witnesses. I helped her out since I know who possesses the original pics and pointed her in that direction.

Cool. I hope this gets smeared all over the New Media!

Have you run into any Earth Liberation guys? Just wondering if there's been any threats of violence from them.

It looks like Michelle has already written this up in her blog:

ACLU: LIGHTING UP ON THE BORDER?

By Michelle Malkin · April 18, 2005 11:25 AM

Getting lots of e-mail from readers and fellow bloggers about these photos of ACLU "legal observers" (scroll down)--assigned to monitor potential illegal activities of the Minuteman Project--apparently breaking the law themselves and smoking pot on the job.

I've contacted the ACLU of Arizona for comment. Also am tracking down the person who took the photos. I've been informed that the Cochise County Sheriff's Office has the pictures and has received a complaint, but is unlikely to take action.

I'm the one who told Michelle that I'd emailed the photos to the Cochise County Sheriff's Office and discussed the situation with a Deputy there. No, the Sheriff's office did not plan to take any action.

Very cool. Imagine that, a conservative columnist doing basic fact-checking, as opposed to the nonsense we see from the old lamestream media, with RatherGate, Jayson Blair, etc.

I've long thought that the ACLU is out to destroy the country... but I'd never heard this quote by their founder.

The aclu have always been unAmerican. The by-laws are proof of it. They have been for years, undoing our laws, just as the bolsheviks did in Russia during the early 1900s. They have always been a bad influence in our country.

"The ACLU's position is that illegal aliens have a right to enter our border and stay in this country as long as they want," said Deacon.

What a moron this guy is. If this guy is admitting that they are here "illegally", then where does the "right" for these aliens to come and remain here originate?

This guy obviously never read the constitution, yet like most liberals, makes preposterous statements on matters pertaining to it.
