ACLU Will Defend the KKK

[Locutus]

in Battle Over Highway Cleanup Program



ATLANTA (The Blaze/AP) — The American Civil Liberties Union will help the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) in its bid to join Georgia’s highway cleanup program as a legal fight looms. Earlier this month, we first told you about the KKK’s plans to participate in a well-known adopt-a-highway program in Georgia.

For obvious reasons, the state’s Department of Transportation declined the radical group’s application and now — as many expected would happen — a legal battle is on the horizon. While free speech advocates claim that the group has a right to participate, others (and clearly the government) aren’t so sure.

Some officials publicly stated that they feared the KKK was attempting to pull a publicity stunt and that participation in the program would lead to promotion and increased membership.

“This is about membership building and rebranding their name in a public way,” said Democratic state Rep. Tyrone Brooks earlier this month. ”If the state approves [their application] then they are complicit.”

The ACLU have defended Nazis right to march, free speech. So this is no surprise- US and Canadian laws can at times be at polar opposites.

Yeah, yeah I know. 'Member when we spoke about tramplin' on punchlines??

Lol.

The KKK gives me the creeps (as does NAMBLA) and I have little to no use for the organization. However, they shouldn't be denied what any other group gets to participate in. On principal.

Although if they dried up and blew away tomorrow I wouldn't mourn the loss.

... of course the klan will use the courts to try to get what they want. and they might just get it. the courts are filled with like-minded bigots called attorneys ...

Well their membership lists if hacked and made public would send shock waves thru many communities- companies etc- Post their IP address and verifying it would be a good assignment for Anonymous.

OK - I vote that Anonomous do it.

Yes but it's lawyers so you know where that discussion is going to go.

If Anonymous did more things like that I'd have a more respect for them.

I do not think I meet the level required to be charged.
