ACLU Defends Limbaugh, Sharpton Demands Reid Apology
(2007-10-04) — The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) today offered free legal services to defend talk radio host Rush Limbaugh, whose civil rights, the ACLU contends, “are in jeopardy from powerful officials in the U.S. government.”
“This is not just an issue of simple slander,” said an unnamed ACLU spokesman, “This is a coordinated campaign at the highest levels of government specifically targeting a private citizen, attempting to use the power of government to squelch his freedom of speech, distort his words, destroy his career and smear anyone associated with him.”
The ACLU source added that, “If this were happening in Myanmar, the U.N. would send an emissary to intervene and the Security Council would impose sanctions.”
Meanwhile, the Rev. Al Sharpton has invited Sen. Harry Reid, D-NV, to appear on his satellite radio show “to apologize to all wealthy, white Americans who were offended when Sen. Reid intentionally misquoted and maligned Rush Limbaugh from the floor of the senate.”
If it hadn’t been the “Sharpton” bit at the end, I might not have realized it was Scappleface. Every once in a while (the broken clock syndrome) the ACLU does manage to get things right, and it would be a PR coup for them to back Limbaugh, so they could use that later to deflect criticism from their left-wing agenda.
WOW !
Next stop, The Twilight Zone...
About half-way through—when I read the statement from the ACLU—I realized I should check the source. Very good!
That’s what I get for scanning & commenting on the way out the door.
Guess there ain’t no flying pigs.
Actually the Sharpton bit at the end was the most believable.
I’ve been snookered by Scrappleface postings here before. The Sharpton bit was the giveaway.
ROFL...love that Sharpton bit.
LOL
Heheh I was getting ready to rush to the roof and search the skys for volatilis porcine.
Till I saw the source.
Good for a giggle!
Wow. Isn’t this the SECOND time they have done so?
LMAO, ACLU,,,,,in ur dreams!! LOL, good one!
Oh, Scrappleface. I guess there was just the one, then.
Thank you ACLU. You are good for something other than eliminating manger scenes.
"snort.........."They've flown before:

It's not unheard of for the ACLU to step to the defense of high-profile people who don't necessarily agree with the group's civil rights mission, Romero said. When conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh faced an investigation into prescription drug fraud, for example, the ACLU filed a friend-of-the-court brief defending his medical privacy. The ACLU argued, and the court agreed, that the records should be off-limits to prosecutors.And they're flying again now in a way you probably don't want: ACLU challenges sting that led to Craig's arrest
Braking for humour bump!
Holy crap ... I started reading, thinking this must be scrappleface or something, and sure enough ... :) to the max! Then again, it really shouldn’t be parody, should it?
I read the title of the article and I swore I saw a pig fly past my window.
I looked again and saw it was Scrappleface and just a fat pigeon.
