We very well may the ACLU take up this case if in fact Russia Today decides to pursue it.

It reminds me a bit of when the ACLU sued Boston on behalf of The Church of the Good News when Boston refused to place "Anti-Santa" adds in the subway that said things like "early Christians did not celebrate Christmas or believe in lies about Santa Claus, flying reindeer, elves and drunken parties" and "There is only one true religion. All the rest are false" because of the content.
