O'Reilly: The ACLU wants to kill your children.

[hernyaccent]

Did you know that last year, the good taxpayers of San Diego gave the aclu $950,000 to settle one of their claims against the Boyscouts of America? This is an unnecessary expense most of us would prefer to live without.

It wasn't against the Boy Scouts it was against Orange County.The Boy Scouts were in the middle of the suit but Orange County was being sued. San Diego CHOOSE to pay the ACLU if they dropped the case ( because it was only a case to prove a point) . San Diego officials knew they would have lost meaning they were wrong.

 

[Brad'sDad]

Apparently it WAS necessary if the courts ruled in the Boyscouts' favour. That San Diego lost mean they erred.

What part of this is confusing?

You've got it backwards, dude. It was a settlement paid to the aclu who sued to revoke the city's lease to the boyscouts. The taxpayers picked up the tab.

 

[flicka]

Using my tax dollars to uphold the rights of all citizens? Yeah, OK. I can think of worse ways to spend money.

But you gotta have spiritual eyes to see. That could be a problem.

Ok, can we please medicate this guy before he hurts himself or someone else?

You know, he's right.

I'm not part of the ACLU, currently, but I do often walk up to pregnant women and BEG them to allow them to let me murder their baby. I mean, since it's legal and all, why not take advantage of it, right?

And that (as posted in the title of the thread) is CERTAINLY what the ACLU has people do, right?

I mean, because otherwise O'Reilly would be a fabricator.

 

[SallyNow]

But you gotta have spiritual eyes to see. That could be a problem.

You agree with O'Reilly that the ACLU kills babies and is a facist organization? You do realize, right, that the ACLU simply upholds the rights that various little American documents guaruntee, right? Or do you just agree with O'Reilly in general, but not specifically in this case? For instance, many people agree with the overall goals of the ACLU but may not agree with every case they take up. You can support someone or something in general but disagree on certian issues, especially when they are wrong, like how O'Rielly is being wrong here, or when the ACLU goes on cases which want to revoke the rights of the Boyscouts to use parkland. (I know, scary, isn't it!)

And why did they pay it? Because they were wrong. Because they knew they would lose. So, city is breaking the law. ACLU calls them on it. It's the ACLU's fault? Hey, next time I'm speeding I'll be sure to tell the cop that it's his fault for pulling me over.

 

[UberLutheran]

Oh, for crying out loud: is there anything Bill O'Rielly won't say to get attention? Really, it is not the ACLU's fault that on-demand abortions during most of pregnacy are legal, even partial-birth abortions. It is the general American culture* which gave rise to on-demand abortion; the ACLU did not come into a vacuum and say, "hey, let's give abortions to all!"
Let's say it all together now: The ACLU simply makes sure that the rights of humans in America are upheld.

And don't Bill O'Reilly and the ACLU have this in common: both support making sure that Americans have full access to all the rights that the American constitution guarantees?

I'm a card-carrying, dues-paying member in good standing of the ACLU.

 

[Rochir]

I opposee O'Reiley...and I'm carrying cards galore!

 

[neverforsaken]

i like o'reily. he sticks it to both sides. only the ones who are too blinded by their ideology fail to see what this man is all about. he is called liberal by conservatives and conservative by liberals. he's my kinda guy. never conforming, he's just bill. i dont care much for an organization that defended the skokie nazis and NAMBLA (north american man boy love association)

 

[Redneck]

Psst...the one about infanticide.

From the article:

"Hitler would be a card-carrying ACLU member. So would Stalin. Castro probably is. And so would Mao Zedong."

What kind of a nutjob is this guy?

Actually, those people probably wouldn't join the ACLU. More than likely, they'd use the members of the ACLU to further their own ends and then once the ACLU had outlived its usefulness one of the villains would probably make like the character from King Henry VI with the ACLU.

I'm just going to sit here and laugh while people connect villians of the twentieth century, all of whom banned many, many, many forms of free speech with the ACLU. Come on, the first thing any of them would do is demonize the ACLU, reducing its effectiveness (probably by accusing it of horrific crimes) and then get rid of it, as part of their larger segmentation efforts to seperate society into elements loyal to them (or too afraid to speak up) and elements that are "other," usually called traitors or enemies of the state. They'd demonize any organization reporting the facts as an enemy of the state.

 

[Harpuia]

I'm gonna be realistic here.

O'Reilly is not an idiot... if you know where he's coming from.

Unlike most of you here, I do know where he's coming from. He believes that the ACLU is backing euthanasia because they did nothing on the Terri Schiavo case, which the ACLU didn't even bother looking at. He believes that the ACLU backs abortion simply because the ACLU just happens to coincide with neo-feminism.

Old feminists could never imagine abortion to be like the way it is today. Yes, it is killing our children. But the thing is, what is the ACLU's real motive? To be a liberal standpoint or doing it just for the money? Think about that first.

Second, Hitler could never be a card-carrying member of the ACLU. Quite a large portion of the ACLU is Jewish. (No conspiracy pun intended).

So where did the stuff about infanticide come from? O'Reilly's remarks there seem like nothing more than cheap fear-mongering, something I expected him to be above.

Granted, his polemics against the Bush administration's border policies are marked by warnings that a dirty bomb might come across, or that more suicidal pilots might enter scot free, but those concerns are at least founded.

Apparently you must not need "spiritual ears" unless they are immune to graphic phone-sex chats.

 

[Dean Anderson]

I think O'Reilly was being sarcastic when he made that point, though it still shouldn't have been said.

Okay, I can buy that. But then it becomes hate-mongering too.

well, at least the humans that survive birth, and the elderly humans that are still wanted by someone...

Abortion.

If you believe abortion is a person, abortion = infanticide.

So does the euthanasia of children w/ terminal illnesses or even just illnesses like they do in Sweden and the Netherlands.

He's an unhinged loon, to be honest. I can't watch his show for longer than about 5 minutes, though I used to find it entertaining to watch. Not to mention, the whole sex thing was exceptionally creepy.
