Yep, he actually said it.
The ACLU is a communist organization through and through.
Absolutly right.I am going to these links to find my Senator and house rep. http://www.senate.gov http://www.house.gov It takes an e-mail,phone call, and a letter to get their attention and I am starting now.
In 1917, Baldwin and other social activists established the National Civil Liberties Bureau, forerunner of the ACLU, to support the Bill of Rights.
Led by Baldwin, ACLU lawyers, beginning in the 1920s, used First Amendment cases to reshape constitutional law. They halted censorship of James Joyces Ulysses. They challenged Tennessees law against teaching evolution in the Scopes Monkey Trial, and participated in the trials of the Scottsboro Boys, and Sacco and Vanzetti. They fought for free speech for Ku Klux Klansmen and communists, even after Baldwin - who once supported Soviet communism - changed his thinking and banned sympathizers from the ACLU board.

The article doesn't mention that Baldwin apparently changed his views on communism.
Baldwin apparently changed his views on communism, at least Soviet communism. See my post #4.

The archetypal Hive institution was the American Civil Liberties Union. In 1927 its long-time leader, Roger Baldwin, visited the Soviet Union, where he said there was no need for a civil liberties union, since the working class already ruled in Russia. Later, two top officials of the American Communist Party would be appointed to the national board of the ACLU. Subservience to Stalin was fully compatible with devotion to American civil liberties as defined by the ACLU.

Lefties like Emma Goldman and Bertrand Russell denounced Soviet Communism pretty early as a betrayal of socialism's ideals.

Here are a few examples of how two of those organizations are fighting back:
ADF Contacts Over 3,600 School Districts Over Attempts To Censor Christmas
ADF: 700 lawyers ready to fight ACLU lawsuits
ADF: Pentagons' Warning About Boyscouts Is Absurd

oops
didn't mean to put the link to the store there...sorry...who do i contact to remove this post?
I was gonna save this info till Thursday, but it looks like it may be need here.
Carter had to slip that medal in before Ronald Reagan took the Presidency. Because, Baldwin would never have received it until after his death otherwise. That is if Slick Willy would have had the guts to try to give him one.
I agree with the ACLU sometimes, but too often they work against liberty, not for it.
Thanks, you have given me ammunition against these communists. They remind me of Orwell's thought police.
BUMP
