#1 Who says athiesm is NOT a religion? Why shouldn't IT be separated from the state and reduced to the status of ... um ... say, Methodists?

#2 LOL - here in SD it just kicked up the "save the cross vote" by about 50,000 votes. When you have rival radio hosts working together in joint broadcasts to get something done, you've got a brushfire going. The ACLU's too fucking stupid to see that this totally diminishes any standing they might've had. It also falls on teh same ballot as the new mayoral election, and Donna Frye (stupid dessicated bitch) is oppposed to saving the cross. Bye Donna!

#3 Whoa, nice! (In San Diego)

And right or wrong, the whole idea of the ACLU/atheists suing five radio hosts for the wording of a ballot initiative they didn't write is just ludicrous. Seeing the subject, it's even more hilarious ... in that wrong kind of way.

If they're this intolerant about historical significants, I've got a few temples and covens on the next-to-go list ...

#4 I'm sure I'm missing something here, I thought the ACLU stood for free speech.
Doc, only the Left's speech is to be untethered; all the rest of us are to stifle ourselves like good little peasants.

#6 Via Econopundit:

And now this enigmatic tidbit from Drudge:

American Civil Liberties Union has been shredding documents over repeated objections of its records manager and in conflict with longstanding policies on preservation, disposal of records... Developing...

Perhaps we're overimaginative, but doesn't this suggest (especially given the current celebration of whistleblowers everywhere) some disgruntled ACLUer has something embarassing and otherwise documented to (a) complain about and/or (b) announce in public?

#8 The ACLU will get away with their intimidation game until the people stand up to them, then they will slink away and look for other prey or venues to ply their trade.

#9 What the ACLU is doing looks like an annoyance campaign on its surface, but evidently there is a rule that allows them to recover "legal costs" of their suit against the state whenever they win a separation of church and state case. They are like a tumor that is mutating.

#10 only if their suit had merit, or was opposed by pussies on the winning side (think McCain)., In this case they'll come out tainted and no $ if I have anything to say about it ;-)

#11 You guys don't know their game by now? If you don't get what you want at the polls, you go to the courts. It doesnt matter what the will of the majority is, the common people(us?) are to goddamned stupid to know what is best for this country anyway.
