Former ACLU head blasts org’s decline away from championing free speech

From my latest at BASED Politics, "On Friday, HBO host and comedian Bill Maher interviewed former American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) Executive Director Ira Glasser on his HBO program 'Real Time.”

Glasser has spoken out in recent years about how much his former organization has drifted away from its roots of fearlessly defending absolute free speech for all. He argues that partisanship has diminished the ACLU, dragging it leftward to the point of no longer defending those whose speech doesn’t reflect their 'values.'

Glasser wanted viewers to know why he believes the ACLU’s step back from defending free speech is dangerous for the preservation of basic constitutional freedoms in the United States.

'So you were a head of this organization for 25 years, almost, from 1978 into this century,' Maher began. 'It’s changing. It was a stalwart defender of free speech and civil liberties. Is it still that?'

'Not as much,' Glasser answered."
