the customer is always right(-wing)
Stupid Evil Bastard has a nice post about correcting a female customer’s comments about “that damned ACLU” and how she believed it wants to “stamp out god.” Rather than meekly agree with her wingnut commentary, he chose instead to give her some facts about the ACLU’s defense of religious freedom:
“Ma’am, as a card carrying member I can honestly tell you that the ACLU doesn’t care if we’re selling stepping stones with religious passages on them or if you buy them and put them on your lawn. They’re only concerned with improper promotion by the government. They actually have taken on suits in defense of believer’s rights to religious expression.”
Her reaction to being corrected is typical: she got upset and walked away. She probably still believes that the ACLU is “trying to stamp out god.”
