The American Civil Liberties Union is being slammed defending the right of Milo Yiannopoulos to free speech. Posting on Twitter, the ACLU account signal boosted the tweets of one of its lawyers, Lee Rowland, who said it was important to protect speech—even speech we personally disagree with—to prevent the First Amendment from devolving into a popularity contest. Both the official ACLU Twitter account and Rowland were mobbed by outraged social justice warriors who told them they were wrong to defend his basic rights. Their arguments were replete with hyperbole denouncing him as some kind of homosexual Nazi whose words will usher in a very gay and very fabulous Fourth Reich. The hysteria couldn’t, of course, be farther from the truth.

The same organization has been battling against Donald Trump’s executive order that prevented Green Card holders from several countries in the Middle East from entering the United States.

The progressive left celebrated the ACLU then, but its recent move to defend Yiannopoulos has caused some to declare them the bad guys.


This is good. The adults on the left side of the aisle are looking in horror upon the reality of their creations. These nut jobs are incomprehensible even to the sane left.

This is good. Maybe everyone can come together and say,"At least we aren't that crazy, scary and dangerous to ourselves and others."

It would be funny if the crazy progressives are the ones who ultimately caused the rift to close between left and right.

TL/DR

Progressives are too crazy for the ACLU.

I'll give credit where it is due. A couple of our liberal posters (NavyTiger) have spoken out against the insane wing of their party. They will not admit their part in creating it, but at the very least, they admit it exists and is bad.

What if I told you a gay limey would become a conservative hero?

Seriously. Who would have seen the rise of Milo coming ten years ago?

Restricting the speech of any group will jeopardize everyone’s rights, because the same laws used to silence one group can be used against anyone else.

Conversely, the same laws that protect Yiannopoulos are used to defend the voices of social justice activists.
How do these retards not understand this?
