Burn ACLU 'to the ground,' Fresno radio host says

By Rick Bentley / The Fresno Bee

Southern California resident Mark Steinberg was passing through Fresno the night before Thanksgiving. He likes to listen to Central San Joaquin Valley talk radio when he makes that trek. That's when he heard a comment he considers too incendiary.

"Local KMJ (AM 580) radio personality Jaz McKay advocated to his listeners the burning 'to the ground' of the local office of the American Civil Liberties Union. The comment was part of an extended diatribe by McKay on the subject of the ACLU," Steinberg says.

... McKay admits that he has talked about how the buildings housing the Internal Revenue Service, and now the ACLU, should be bulldozed or burned to the ground. "But I am not calling for people to actually do that. It is just an analogy, a metaphor, for putting an end to these organizations," McKay says.

4. The irony of that story? The ACLU would probably defend

his right to say that . . . u/ the first amendment free speech clause particularly where the idiot (McKay) stated that "But I am not calling for people to actually do that" which means he was not serious in inciting others to wrongdoings.

7. yeah.. they all want to do away with them until they find they need them

and no one else will take their case. Hope that is the case with this guy and the shame he should suffer for being a hypocrit.
