132. WWACLUD?
Come on folks, how many of you are members of the ACLU? This woman has a right to her (repugnant) opinion, without people googling her and then harassing her employer.

She didn't mention her firm in her op-ed piece, so why threaten them?

Reading the reply she gave to the person here that emailed her broke my heart. Yes, it's an ignorant, uninformed, gloating opinion, but I'm sure her words made some moderates cringe, which I think helps us (kind of like Pat Buchanan's speech at the 2000 convention). This ain't Walmart we're targeting here, guys, but a fellow human being. I have relatives I love dearly who hold these whacko opinions. I wouldn't mind them being set straight, but I'd be pretty angry at any group that harassed them, left or right.

A letter-writing campaign to the AJC or even well-reasoned emails to her is acceptable, but this has been really ugly. As a Quaker, I've that bile and name-calling NEVER change a person's mind or heart, whereas reason will occasionally work
