Constitutional right to violate children? Why liberals love pedophiles

I don't recall the specifics

Get back to me when you do. I'll remind you that pedophiles can be found in both liberal and conservative camps. I oppose liberals for their political ideology and I have no respect for anyone who attempts to label liberals as perverts.

If you think this article is hogwash or that Liberals don't really support pedophilia, I would remind you that ACLU went to bat for NAMBLA in the case of two NAMBLA members who strangled ten-year-old Jeffrey Curley in Boston back in 1997

They didn't go to bat for NAMBLA.
From your source:
"The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) stepped in to defend NAMBLA and won a dismissal based on the specific legal issue that NAMBLA is organized as an association, not a corporation".

This case would have set a precedent holding corporations responsible for crimes committed by individuals. A good example is Dennis Rader, the BTK serial killer. Rader was president of the Congregation Council for the Christ Lutheran Church, a corporation. Should the Christ Lutheran Church be held liable for the murders committed by Dennis Rader?

So, "defending" NAMBLA isn't the same as "going to bat" for NAMBLA?

If you say so . . .

LOL!
I quoted your source!
You can keep your head in the sand and play the culture war game but the fact is that if you can hold NAMBLA liable as a corporation you can do the same against churches.

I will remind you that the ACLU has defended Christians in many cases. I have yet to see you guys give them credit for that.

And I was quoting you -- but I note you didn't answer me.

How exactly is "defending" different from "going to bat for"?

[Balke]

I think what he meant was that the ACLU wasn't defending NAMBLA's political stance, just the legal idea of an association (which in this case happened to be NAMBLA) not being liable for the actions of individual members.

Your wiki source even states that the ACLU does not endorse NAMBLA's pedophile objectives, and the specific attorney says, "I've never been able to fathom their position."

[fgoodwin]

Fair enough -- nor do I think anyone in FR was trying to paint all libs as perverts.

But the "anything goes" mindset of the liberal left certainly seems to jive well with NAMBLA's stated goal of eliminating all "age of consent" laws.
