I just joined the ACLU because of you, Bill O'Reilly!
Edited on Wed Mar-30-05 01:21 PM by expatriot
I have him on the AM radio right now, I don't know why... but I am glad I do because he has gotten me SO mad in bashing the ACLU and he just said that "ordinary Americans are leaving the ACLU when they realize what they're all about." Well, Mr. O'Reilly, thanks to you and SOLELY to you... they just signed up another ordinary American who is able to make this donation because he (me) just got a second part-time job in addition to my full-time job.

1. I'm a member, too! Welcome!
I don't know who O'Reilly is, though.

5. You're not missing a thing
You'll live a happy productive life not knowing about O'Reilly.
Probably suffer from less high blood pressure attacks.

2. I did that as well!
it was last year and I swear it had to do with o'reilly bashing them!

I gave money and got a card in the mail. I love whipping it out at parties to show around. Thats right! I am a card carrying member of the ACLU and I am proud as hell of that!

the only down side is that once you join you will get an endless supply of mail from so many other worldly good causes you will not believe it!

6. Me too expatriot!
Not just because of O'Lielly though; I was tired of hearing the assaults from the right against an association that Fights for the liberties of all Americans! for crying out loud.

7. ACLU-bashers have NO IDEA what the group does or represents...
they've been programmed to hate it.

Co-worker went off on them one day, and I reminded him that they protect the rights of ALL Americans...including such 'fine upstanding' citizens as neo-Nazis and the KKK.

Why? Because the Constitution's for EVERYBODY. There is no judgement in the wording of that document, it's for EVERYBODY.

He shut up quickly. He's a fucking fool.

These so-called freedom-loving 'real' Americans should be FLOCKING to the ACLU in times like these. Dumbasses.

8. my entire family joined during the 2nd Kerry-Bush debate
when the shrub lied, "I really don't think your rights are being watered down. As a matter of fact, I wouldn't support it if I thought that."

9. Wonder if Rush donates?
Someone should ask Rush if he agrees with Bill on this.

I thin I'll re-join too...just to spite Mr. Reilly. Would a great fundraising tool. Join the ACLU, shut to piss the lying fascist, Bill O'Reilly, off.

10. Welcome to the club, expatriot!!!
I joined the ACLU last year as well because I just plain got fed up listening to totally clueless cretins bash the ACLU.

I love whipping out the membership card when people, like those mentioned above, start spewing their vitriol about the ACLU. It usually shuts them up in a big hurry.

11. Congrats, and welcome from a fellow member-I did something like that
Edited on Wed Mar-30-05 01:51 PM by demokatgurrl
I joined 1n 1988, the day after Bush Sr. ridiculed Michael Dukakis for his ACLU membership. Frankly, I was embarassed that I wasn't a member. Been a card carrier ever since.

13. Any links to a membership sign up area?
Edited on Wed Mar-30-05 02:08 PM by Nickster
I've been getting ACLU membership forms in the mail here and there and have been to lazy to mail one in. I think you've inspired me to actually be a card carrying member as well.

NM, On edit I found it, https://www.aclu.org/contribute/contribute.cfm

Edited on Wed Mar-30-05 07:39 PM by mcscajun
I said this on another thread. I've been a member since October 2001 when the dangers from BushCo became all too apparent.

Tell Bill He's the Reason. Thank him for pointing you towards such a thoroughly worthwhile organization.

Let's see if we can make his head Explode.

15. ACLU should use Dild O'Reilly for marketing.
The last time I watched his 'Spin Zone' he was railing against the ACLU, and this was before the Iraq war. He was so pompous and vile that I got up and googled ACLU. Punched in their website and joined on the spot. The ACLU should send out flyers saying 'we are the only thing standing between your rights and Dild O'Reilly'. I bet their membership would triple.
