[Peace-discuss] ACLU liberals

[David Green]

The ACLU stands for one of many possible fundamental principles. 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.

Is the ACLU responsible for what David Gehrig writes in letters to the
DI? When he volunteered to sit at the table, should they have said:
now, not just anyone can sit at this table. What kind of letters do
you plan to write to the DI?
