ACLU, phonies that they are, put out comic propaganda strip

Latest outfit to abuse this once great art form is the ACLU, which has put out a comic that seems to be against profiling to figure out who or what kind of people could be trying to carry out acts of terrorism. And indeed, on the page itself, it says at the side things like:
I found this on a comics forum where the people discussing the subject just spoke about it in total naivity. It's a shame that they don't take a look at good sites like Stop the ACLU and Stop the ACLU Coalition to understand what this awful alleged civil liberties outfit is really like. Aside from that, what I found interesting there was how they talked about the story in the comic itself, which was about a black man being arrested for resisting a police officer after being pulled over in a profiling situation. It seems to me that the ACLU is using some very clever and insulting props in order to smear racial profiling, whose whole purpose is to get an idea of what kind of people are involved in potential terrorist plots, as literally racist. The ACLU team defending the character in the comic has superpowers despite the main page's panel saying there aren't any involved, and one of them has the ability to reach into people's minds, and uses this ability to penetrate the head of the policeman and find out just what happened.
As far as I can tell, the whole story the ACLU is promoting in comic form here seems to be an attack on law enforcement as one-dimensionally corrupt. Yet the people discussing this stuff on the comics forum I found it at seemed more concerned about whether or not the ACLU lawyer in the comic strip itself was committing an invasion of privacy. Then again, perhaps there is something to consider here, that being how this implies what hypocrites the ACLU really are, yet the people at the board seemed totally naive and acted totally oblivious to this fact. In other words, they really should take a look at what the ACLU is truly like through sites like Stop the ACLU, but alas, this was some kind of ultra-liberal bastion I speak of where the comic strip was being discussed, so something tells me they wouldn't.
Still, this should make a pretty good example of how phony baloney the ACLU really is, and how, despite some claims to the contrary, they do promote moral relativism, and that in some ways, they're just like Brad Meltzer, who was mentioned in the comic forum's discussion(!), who attacked when heroes do what's needed to protect their identities but never questioned if it's wrong for the villains to do similar things.

This story looks at the government's abuse of power. Even in the age of global terrorism, the U.S. should be committed to being Safe and Free. Learn how to protect your freedoms.First off, have they ever looked at what a non-job Michael "Lettucehead" Chertoff is doing, not making any serious efforts at investigating and fighting potential terrorist suspects? He certainly tried to avoid the harder questions when called in to testify in the wake of the Goose Creek case. Second, their whole claim that they're trying to keep the US "safe and free" is simply a lie, and the whole organization themselves is a total sham. They have been serving as an apologist for the wrong crowds, even terrorists, for more time than one might think. Last year, they defended Sami al-Arian, for example. And more recently, they condemned the Senate for passing spy law changes.
