Here's a quote from Howard Simon, the executive director of the ACLU of Florida in a statement. "It may seem odd that the ACLU has come to the defense of Rush Limbaugh but we've always said that the ACLU's real client is the Bill of Rights and we will continue to safeguard the equality, fairness and privacy of everybody regardless of race, economic status or political point of view." [AP:] "The organization said it wanted to vindicate every Floridian's privacy by making sure they complied with the law. There is a specific right to privacy enumerated in the Florida constitution. The elected state attorney had no comment with the ACLU's involvement. Spokesman Mike Edmondson said that prosecutors who protected stay laws have protected my rights throughout the investigation."Link his, emphasis mine.
How many other suspects have had the list of medications that they have had prescribed for them at a pharmacy leafed through on worldwide television? We know who this Edmonson guy is. He is the informant in the elected state attorney's office for the Palm Beach Post as my attorney stated in the medical records hearing. So the ACLU is in on the case now. We welcome the ACLU.
Sure, I'm tempted to use this to take a shot at Limbaugh for hypocrisy. But I'm not going to. Sometimes, you need to see things for yourself to have your eyes opened to them.
Instead, I'm going to use this opportunity to take a shot at Bill O'Reilly. <EG>
I've written an article for DMY spotlighting Mr. "O'Really" and his penchant for calling the ACLU "fascist." (It isn't up as of this writing, but should be soon.) After all, there are those evil libruls they defend, they fight to separate church and state, they promote smut -- how dare they!
Yeah. They're defending the privacy rights of Rush freakin' Limbaugh. Hard to get more fascist than that, huh?
