Most conservatives hate the ACLU but they are consistent. I believe it was in the 70s they fought on behalf of the KKK marching in Skokie, Illinois.

I could just leave this at something flippant, like “Of course they support the terrorist wing of the Democrat party.” But the truth is that the ACLU is being more clever: they’ll support right-wing groups if it helps advance their radical left-wing agenda by getting precedents that are useful to their own ends. So they’ll support the KKK’s freedom to assembly, but not the pro-life movement’s. That’s NOT consistency.
