    Default The new Witch Hunters?

    First there was Salem.

    Then there was McCarthy

    Both were all-out efforts to expose people for alleged bad behaviors, for the odd misspoken word or action. They were attempts to discredit and destroy those who might think differently. It occurred to me that we have modern-day witch hunters as well.

    Vote for your top witch hunters.

    I say the liberal media since they need to create news. Being on the air 24/7 creates a need for something to talk about. The ACLU will only attack already politicized topics and Sharpton/Jackson only demonize white folk.

    It's hard to argue that it is not the liberal media. I chose the ACLU because through their endless lawsuits, they have made whole cities, towns, school districts, etc., change their constitutional behaviors, just out of fear of being sued.

    It was a touch choice, but the aclu is public enemy #1 in my opinion.

    You are excluding certain religious groups as a choice?

    had to go with "liberal media".....sharpton and Jackson limit their investigations to race issues, and the ACLU to Christiantity....

    I think you can focus more generally on the Dot Democrats.....MoveonDOTorg and SalonDOTcom....and lots of other dizzydots......

    it's gotta be the liberal media. the Drive by media makes up more lies and conspiracy's against the Right and then dumb asses drink the liberal kool-aid and post nonsense. LIBERALS are Americas home grown terrorists and if they get their way most of America will bow to mecca when the Muslims take over.hopefully America gets smart before these Liberal clowns take America down the path of communism

    I say all three choices together are the devil incarnate.

    But to pick just one, I think I'd have to say the liberal media. They're at it 24/7 as mentioned, and they probably do more to influence empty heads than the other two.

    Yes.

    So, if you disagree with the ACLU, what do you think they call you? In other words, how can they justify a stance and yet, what is their stance given that others disagree with their stance.
