I always wondered why I never knew much about this whole deal and then when I read about it I looked at the dates. I was in the marine corps when all this was going on.

Crazy stuff. Small town politics is so nuts.

Yeah I saw it. Like you said if it walks like a duck yada yada. Any way I had to back down from my oroginal position. After some basic questions were answered it would indeed appear that guilty or not they should not have been convicted. It’s just really hard to believe that the police work was that bad. No one should go to jail on just the word of one man. They said there were no pictures no video, no defendent turned states evidence, no sound recordings. Nothing. Just one cop that said it was true. I’m still suspicious but if true I have to agree with them.

Neither can I. Here's how I commented on the subject at Grits for Breakfast.

Appartly he’s not an ACLU lawyer, although he did work with them for a short time on hte Tulia farce. But in thought I can’t see any real difference.

Your a step ahead again. I’ve been making connections to socialism and communism at another forum, http://www.motorcitymarauders.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5660 I had brought up the fact that the ACLU was founded by Roger Nash Baldwin an avowed socialist and mmost likely communists.

I recall probably the late 60s or early 70s something about the ACLU managing to get a judge to rule that the source of thier founding was protected by the constitution. Allegations have always been around about them getting much money from communists nation specifically at the time Russia.

I was unable to find anything about it, but I have a hard time believeing that with the amount of litigation they do on behalf of so many perverts and anti American groups, the source of funding they do claim, mostly donations from private citizens would support them.

Anyway good catch good post. I had misssed that one.

For the record, let me state unequivocally that I in no way support or condone the antics of Tom Coleman, Terry McEachern or Larry Stewart in the Tulia Drug Bust. On the contrary, I’d place this incident in the same category as the Brian Deneke murder, the Oprah trial, the late Judge Kaiser’s comment that speaking Spanish to your children is a form a child abuse, and the flying of the Chilean flag over the Potter County courthouse. All of these incidents have put the Texas Panhandle in general and Amarillo in particular in the worst possible light in both the national and international press.

That being said, I find it refreshing that an ACLU lawyer from Amarillo would be so candid as to display his true political allegience when the rest of the members of that organization try so hard to disguise theirs.
