In fact, Alan Colmes said he wants to buy it, put it back on Ebay and give the money to the ACLU. That’s very capitalist of him. Probably wants them to mount a campaign to symbolically bury the word “Islamo-fascist”.

At first when I read this I thought; "Well, more power to him. If that's what Alan wants to do, that's his prerogative." But the more I think about it, the more I like this idea. I think Alan has (unwittingly) hit upon a fantastic idea! Can you imagine how little money would be raised for the Senate letter? The letter itself is not worth that much. It's the principle behind the auction that is driving the price right now. People who are bidding on it want it, but they want to prove a point more.

I wonder if Alan did this, would he also challenge the 41 airheads (oops, I mean Senators) to match a donation to the ACLU.

LOL!! Heck no! They only spend our money. They'd pass a radio tax or an SUV tax or a "People who buy their own health insurance" tax and put the ACLU on the National Endowment for the Arts list!
