Virulent hatred of the ACLU is about the most pathetic thing in the American political scene, and that's saying a lot.

NO! The most virulent and pathetic thing in american politics is when people openly celebrate the death of another american with a different belief and political view and gleefully proclaim they would like to dance on that person's grave.
What bothers me about the ACLU's decision to ignore this case isn't the rather thin money trail the article in the link I posted presented, it's the bigotry and small mindedness of the ACLU if it isn't money talking.
I personally feel that ACLU's decision to ignore this case isn't about money it's about the fact that the lawyers would rather "lose" a case by abstaining than be on the same side as thier "enemies" the conservatives and christians.
My views rarely mesh with the ACLU's views on cases and interpretation of the constitution, but when they do conincide I don't hesitate to make public my support of the ACLU in those cases.
I've made conservatives friends mad for that support, but I feel ti would be rather bigoted and small minded to change my view on an issue simply because a group or person I don't like also happens to supports those view.
For all ACLU's proclaimation of fighting bigotry and bias in American law it's sad to see them make a decision that appears to be based on thier own pet bias or bigotry.
