also maybe get the facts before dismissing the @ACLU as an entire organization? they do good work.

yes, they might do some things that you disagree with. that doesn't mean the value of the other work they do should be thrown in the garbage

some will accept nothing less from politicians and organizations than strict, rigid, ideological alignment with their beliefs - that's naive

What to do if an organization does something egregious? The ACLU has done many good things, but their position on Citizens...

...United makes very little sense. An extremely damaging blow to our democracy. I'm unsure how to weigh this appropriately.

if a person who attends a church asks the church for a platform to speaks and he begins to read the names of known

communists who attend the church and encourages other church goers to repot them to the fbi and the church steps in to

stop him from speaking anymore (even though everybody else has been allowed to speak) and he complains about his first

amendment rights to free speech, does the ACLU defend him because even we don't like his targeted his harassment, he

should still have the right to do it? Is it a free speech issue or a protection issue in the eyes of the ACLU?

This is all fair in the abstract. In relation to Mil0, however, wouldn't it fall under "conduct?"

He is known to single out specific students during his "presentations," harass them, out them, encourage others to do same

Like, I am all for the ACLU defending the 1st Amendment, but he doesn't just "speak." He hurts people directly.

I mean he, & the hate mobs he leads, have ruined actual lives...An actual friend of mine was driven to a breakdown by them

I understand that free speech is indivisible, but that man is not a good example of "speech we abhor but must defend..."

I know this from relatively direct experience...That whole section about "speech and conduct" is 100% about him.
