Very clever move on the part of the ACLU.

Well, O'Reilly still thinks they're a 'facist' organisations whoose panzers are lawyers. His words. I can't wait to see what happens when they defend him the next time he puts his foot in it :)

The ACLU of Florida’s Simon added: “For many people, it may seem odd that the ACLU has come to the defense of Rush Limbaugh. But we have always said that the ACLU’s real client is the Bill of Rights and we will continue to safeguard the values of equality, fairness and privacy for everyone, regardless of race, economic status or political point of view.”

“We have defended the rights of every group on the political spectrum from anti-war protesters and Oliver North to church-state separation activists and Jerry Falwell,” Simon noted.
I love the ACLU.

An ironic move as well, considering the raw amount of shit Rush Limbaugh has said about them and their clients. :?

Not that the ACLU is a Christian organization, but the following still seems to apply regarding their actions toward Rush Limbaugh:

Romans 12
20On the contrary:
"If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head."

It also cripples old Rush's ability to criticize them in the future.

Then again, he also was talking about how drug users, even petty ones, should be locked up for absurdly long times while he himself was popping the painkillers from an illegal supplier. Being a big fat hypocrite is not without precident.

Holy crap
"Right now we can tell you a report was filed by the family of a 12 year old boy yesterday afternoon alleging Mr. Michael Jackson of criminal activity. A search warrant has been filed and that search is currently taking place. Mr. Jackson has not been charged with any crime. We cannot specifically address the content of the police report as it is confidential information at the present time, however, we can confirm that Mr. Jackson forced the boy to listen to the Howard Stern show and watch the movie Private Parts over and over again."
