The above banner and slogan is quite deceptive and an utter joke to those that are truly aware to the ACLU’s workings. Just in the past week the ACLU has launched a massive campaign against the NSA’s efforts to trace terrorist phone calls into the U.S. This campaign with full page ads has even been denounced by media that usually defend the ACLU as completely lacking in context. In just the last few days the ACLU has pounced at the chance to bash America, applauding the decision of an EU Court that struck down an anti-terrorism agreement that allows the European Union and the U.S. to share information on airline passengers. And in the same day the ACLU of Florida came out against a new law that restricts colleges and universities from using state funds for travel to countries classified as terrorist states by the U.S. government.

The ACLU consistently allign themselves with groups like CAIR, and other organizations that have known terrorist ties. They have turned down donations from some of their most generous donors because of anti-terrorism stipulations. They can always be seen defending our enemies. It is no wonder that they fight to exempt lawyers from anti-terror supporting oaths.

Michael Moore has a long history of creative editing, in that he edits a scene for his movie to make it mean something out of context to what was filmed.  He calls it editing.  We call it lying and deception. 

That he does so and still claims to be showing a factual documentary is ridiculous.  He also engages in a lot of "mistakes" which sometimes makes me wonder how accidental they are.  Remember Lenin:  A lie told often enough becomes truth.

For a great history of his distortions see:

• Spinsanity - Viewer beware: In "Bowling for Columbine," Michael Moore once again puts distortions and contradictions before the truth
• Spinsanity - Fahrenheit 9/11: The temperature at which Michael Moore’s pants burn
• Spinsanity - One Moore stupid white man
• Spinsanity - Moore’s myriad mistakes

Want Moore….errr more?  Go to Spinsanity’s archive at Spinsanity.org and search using his name.

Well now he faces an $85 million lawsuit from a disabled veteran who he filmed in the hospital and then used the footage out of context.

In a nice cut and run move, Reid has reversed course.  He now says he won’t take tickets in the future.  Well all and good, but the "I will never do it again" defense is not necessarily good enough to avoid an ethics violation.

Reid Says He Won’t Accept Free Tickets

Reversing course, Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid’s office acknowledged Wednesday night he misstated the ethics rules governing his acceptance of free boxing tickets and has decided to avoid taking such gifts in the future.

The Nevada senator still believes it was "entirely permissible" for him to accept ringside seats for three professional boxing matches in 2004 and 2005 from the Nevada Athletic Commission but has nonetheless decided to avoid doing so in the future, his office said.

"In light of questions that have been raised about the practice, Senator Reid will not accept these kinds of credentials in the future in order to avoid even the faintest appearance of impropriety," spokesman Jim Manley said.

The announcement came after The Associated Press confronted Reid’s office early Wednesday with conclusions from several ethics experts that the Senate leader misstated congressional ethics rules in trying to defend his actions.
