I am kind of surprised at the hate for the ACLU. I am wondering if there's some sort of misinformation campaign going on?

Another favorite is the EFF, but not the FSF. The FSF can fuck right off.

ACLU is one of our enemies organizations. It's good that they've published their names, and the names of their associates.

The problem with the ACLU lies in how they define civil liberties. They feel no qualms letting Second Amendment rights or religious exercise rights (especially if they are those of Christians) get trammeled even though they are protected in the Constitution, but are very happy to expand rights to include all sorts of things like letting transexuals pick their bathrooms. About the only thing they have consistently protected to everyone's benefit without regard to left or right wing politics has been freedom of speech. Unfortunately, recent signals leave their commitment to that going forward in doubt. They look like they might be succumbing to the distinction between freedom for all speech and no freedom for hateful or harmful speech as defined by social justice warriors.

Let's start at your first sentence. Google the ACLU defends the 2nd amendment.

They have. They do. Etc...
