Oh, and the excerpting here was very selective. From the article:
“On all of the issues we disagree, and there are many ... we decided to move those off the table and focus on those cases on which we agree, and that is to place reasonable limits on government power and to do something to protect personal privacy which is eroding at a phenomenal rate,” Barr said.
So Rep. Barr noted many disagreements with the ACLU. And the ACLU noted several disagreements with Rep. Barr. Yet, he was going to work with them on some issues of mutual concern.
In reading the article, I note that it doesn’t mention his membership in the organization. Did he ever even join? I assume that he did, but the article doesn’t say one way or the other.
The ACLU is a rotten organization. No disagreement there. But even a blind squirrel gets a nut every now and then.
Selective? When posting Fox News articles they have to be excerpted. I posted the first several paragraphs of the article. Nothing selective about it.
To answer your previous, you will note my first statement “Lest we forget.” As in...this happened previously. Nobody was trying to hide that it is a historical topic.
The point is that Barr has worked with a anti-American communist oriented institution instead of working his issues through conservative organizations.
That is despicable and puts him in the same league as McCain, Obama and Hillary.
The knee-jerk support for Bob Barr is amazing.
