ACLU suspends southern chapter over Minuteman issue

A Minuteman eyed the Arizona border in April

Last Update: 06/21/2005 8:16:26 AM By: Associated Press

ALBUQUERQUE (AP) - The American Civil Liberties Union of New Mexico has suspended its Las Cruces chapter.

The suspension followed revelations that a member of the group’s board was heading the formation of a Minuteman-style organization in New Mexico.

The ACLU says the move was to make sure the leader of the New Mexico Minutemen no longer had authority to act or speak on behalf of the ACLU.

The Minutemen group is a spinoff of the controversial civilian border patrol group the Minuteman Project.

Clifford Alford is the leader of the New Mexico Minutemen. The phone went unanswered Monday night at his home in Organ.

Alford has said he’s not a hateful vigilante and that he would like to see immigration policy reformed.

Sorry... that Charlite is quick.

Ooops, it was Bulldozer.

Legal residents are not allowed to have civil liberties, I guess.

Ping!

Just as I posted it, I got a screen that said it was "temporarily unavailable." When it came back on, it automatically posted it. Sorry!

How dare they think for themselves! Don't they know the Party will take the burden from them and do all their thinking! All they have to do is memorize the party statements and use them! <Commie loathing never off. Sarcasm off for now

Fascinating! I love to see the seething anger of the nasty, deceitful, undermining, treasonous factions of Leftists, when an honest Leftist steps up to being a real American! Tee hee hee!

Now even the ACLU types are beginning to understand and act on the immigration problem? When other liberals start catching on, then something will be done.

Having formerly been a liberal, I understand what happens to people once their bell goes off and they start asking questions. People get suspicious of you and finally boot you out! Republicans will do the same when you stray from the party line. That's why we have independents! Yeah, my party can now grow!

[DoughtyOne]

Don't be sorry... I've had that happen to me too. It really bugs me when it does.

The silver lining to this is just knowing how mad it made the ACLU! :)

Another action that exposes the ACLU.

“We will not tolerate racism and vigilantism in the leadership structure of our organization

I guess racism alone is OK. If, of course, it's against people of European, and perhaps Asian, ancestory.

When I read the header I thought the nitwits blowing jaybars in the street on camera were the ACLU commies sanctioned.

Hope springs eternal.

So it goes.

Pigs.

No, none of us are allowed to have civil liberties, but them. So, you know it made the ACLU furious that one of their own was involved. That makes it all worth it. LOL

They should all go back to Brooklyn

Your statement above may be way more important than you think. The Marxist Medusa is licking her chops (fat ones too!) over the illegal immigration issue -- the GOPs MAJOR weak point. You can almost bet your life they will jump on it, even if just a token gesture.
