A Double Standard at the ACLU?

What? A double standard at the ACLU? Say it ain't so!

See for yourself How the ACLU Lost its bearings over at the Stop the ACLU blog.

A recently replaced board member, Wendy Kaminer, writes a very critical op-ed in today’s LA Times. It includes many political divergences that I disagree with, but the overall point in exposing hypocrisy is on target. After a brief tribute to one of the ACLU’s founding communists, Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, and how she was ousted by the ACLU for her communist beliefs… Wendy shows the intolerance and hypocrisy of the organization so many on the left hail as heroes. The article is mixed with Bush administration criticism too which is her complete freedom to do, just as it is her freedom to criticize the organization she had put so much hope into and failed her. The main point her article makes is that if an organization is going to criticize certain practices they say jeapardizes our freedom, it greatly undermines their credibility when they engage in those same practices.
