I searched around to see if I could find any writeup about the ACLU defending the NAACP and KKK at the same time. I found a similar example to the one you described from the mid 90's - http://www.nytimes.com/1993/09/10/news/a-klansman-s-black-la...

An even more impressive demonstration of their principles: In the 1970s the ACLU supported the National Socialist Party of America in their fight to be allowed to display swastikas while marching through the predominantly-Jewish village of Skokie.
Incidentally, the lawyers representing the National Socialist Party and the ACLU were both Jewish.

Not sure what happened, but it looks like the attorney was recently disbarred for "professional misconduct".
