Too many of its members think that that is the only one worth standing for, and wish to cover themselves with glory for doing so. It's become a pretty transparent business, and Gehrig's behavior exposes one aspect of that--he's an overt racist vis a vis the Palestinians, and he's especially annoyed that I showed him to be a liar regarding the death of Rachel Corrie. Bob, I would think that that would concern you regarding the credibility of the ACLU, as well as the substantive issue I've raised in my letter; likely I would think wrong. Nothing about liberals seems to bother you.</DIV>
