The ACLU believes all bears should have arms.

This is so stupid and ridiculous. We are at war with al-Qaeda. When Obama orders a strike on al-Qaeda with an anti-tank missile fired from a drone, what does the ACLU think that missile does to the people it hits? It tears them apart and burns them up. It’s severe torture...it’s war. Water-boarding is child’s play compared to what a drone missile strike does to the people it hits. When are the ACLU and the other liberal groups going to understand that we’re in a nasty little war with al-Qaeda and this is a case of either kill or be killed? The ACLU is so silly and so obviously partisan and biased against the Bush Administration. Why does anyone donate money to that stupid group?

“It may all boil down to whether Obama thinks it helps him more with his base...”

Absolutely terrifying that he has such a base.

It seems that the bounds of pschosis have become the halls of the U.S. Government.

IMHO

I’d like to see the ACLU try this...the backlash would be a tidal wave.

Which makes me think that the inclusion of that comment was a deliberate provocation by Bush to force Obama into a rock/hardplace situation with his base.

NO President is going to support, in any way shape or form, the prosecution of a former President for official acts taken while in office. Why not? Because it opens up a whole legal can of worms that could then be used against THEM once they leave office.

So, if the ACLU gets its way and this think starts gaining traction, Obama will have to side with Bush just to make sure that HE (Obama) is protected post-presidency. That's going to piss an already agitated Dem base off even more.

American Civil Liberties Union seems to always be more concerned about foreigner's civil liberties than American's civil liberties.

Oh oh...You’re going to get it now! You’ve just ruined the illusion that Bush is guilty of not doing anything about the border! ;*)
Now the Bush-bashers are going to have to resort to the other gripes they have about him, that they usually unload on us! eeekkkk...

The ACLU is calling on the Justice Department to investigate George W. Bush over his just-released memoir....

Show trial.

This isn't about justice, law, or even "outrage". It's pure Stalinism. ACLU wants to prosecute Bush for being Bush, for not being a Communist, for Machiavellian purposes identical those Stalin pursued, as Solzhenitsyn warned us in Gulag Archipelago, when he pursued Rykov and Kamenev, Kirov, and other erstwhile Soviet heroes in order to eliminate them and intimidate the Party bureaucracy into crawling subservience.

With Communists, it's never about law, justice, or right and wrong. It's always about power. And conspicuous victims.
