ACLU defends article linking Taylor Swift to white supremacists
Fox News ^ | 11-07-17 | unknown

Posted on 11/08/2017 1:36:47 PM PST by Houmatt

The ACLU and Taylor Swift are squaring off after the singer tried to get an article detailing how white supremacy movements have embraced her lyrics and music videos, and how her silence has exacerbated the matter, pulled from a website.

On Monday, the ACLU sent a letter to Swift's legal team arguing that an article posted by PopFront that links the star to the white supremacy movement should not be taken down -- as Swift has requested -- because the writer has the right to free speech.

The ACLU supported and facilitated the Nazis marching in Skokie IL.

Therefore the ACLU is Nazi.

She’s white. That’s all they need to disparage her.

Wasn't Skokie where MLK, Jr. was beaten up by the Left?

There's some blackmail or pressure tactic behind the article.

Taylor Swift writes "I loved you. You didn't love me. Now I hate you. Now go die." songs.

I lot of woman singers do.

But because she doesn't aggressively back "progressive" causes she's attacked as a racist or Nazi.

Her lyrics are in the same vein as Alanis Morisette's or Carrie Underwood's or Gloria Gaynor's -- revenge songs -- but because she doesn't do what the writer wants her to, she's made out to be a Nazi.

Why would they go after Swift? What is her crime against the left?

She failed to endorse Hillary and condemn Trump, as the Left demanded from the biggest pop singer in the world. So they called her a white supremacist and she still refuses to take the bait.

What did Taylor Swift do to the ACLU? Refuse to sleep with somebody there?

The ACLU. Proudly defending Nazis, NAMBLA, and Westboro.

I guess you've never seen her picture, so I'll explain it to you. She's white. So by definition she's racist.

She has remained politically neutral.

This has contributed to her success and may inspire other young artists to do likewise.

If the left does not have pretty, talented people vomiting out their views no one will listen to them.

So Swift must be destroyed.

This began about 18 months ago when no one less then Camilla Pagina called Swift a "Nazi Barbie". When I challenged one of her boot lickers about the total illogical of that statement and asked if there was anything supporting it they lamely responded that "Swift has people come up on stage like Hitler".

Make of that what you will.

I find her music somewhat boring, but I knew that they would be after her. Why? Because to them, she looks and acts too clean and white. So they’re trying to coerce her to turn.

My advice? She should take some lessons from ICP and hand it back to the race hustlers in white. It would be a very entertaining surprise for many and very lucrative for her.

You might be thinking of Cicero. MLK Jr likely has never been close to Skokie. At that time it was 97% Jewish. Now it is equally Muslim.

I don’t remember clearly those MLK Jr years in Chicago as I was in Vietnam.
