Beware the Muslim Socialists!

By Ed Brayton

I may need to make the O'Brien trophy a weekly or daily award. John Armor of the American Civil Rights Union (god, that's so clever - you get it? It sounds just like ACLU? That's incredible!) is back with yet another stunningly idiotic claim:

He says the ACLU does not seem to have any problem with the real torture being used by America's Islamic enemies.

"No, of course not," he says sarcastically, "because the Islamic countries are apparently socialist countries -- and that's a desirable ideology [to the ACLU]. It's obviously a political game," he surmises, noting that the ACLU raised no questions about torture tactics during World War II.
