dont ever support the aclu! they are notorious for defending pedophiles,rapist's and murderers.

They defend them, not get them off. Public defenders usually defend prdofiles and murderrs, not the ACLU. You may need your right to be narrow minded or some other right defended someday.

Doesn't matter if you love or hate a particular group - they still get legal representation.

Even deplorable, ugly, rotten, scum of the earth gets legal representation.  Thats how the courts work.

Imagine how you felt if you were wrongfully accused of pedophilia, rape, or murder.  Happens often...and if you couldn't afford help, the ACLU would be happy to help.

The ACLU is for everyone I hate those groups you just mentioned but I do believe that cops make mistakes too. I would hate to be hauled off for telling a cop where to shove it if he accused me of taking someone out when they live 3 states over.

You make it sound like that the ACLU defend pedophilia, rape, murder, when they do nothing of the sort. What they will do is support those accused of such when their right to a fair trial is jeopardized, by illegal actions of the law enforcement community.

The ACLU has done a lot of good for the United States but has done a lot of bad too. There are other organizations doing the same kind of positive work who are more discriminating and better deserving of support. i.e. Alliance for justice.
