So, "defending" NAMBLA isn't the same as "going to bat" for NAMBLA?
If you say so . . .

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"?
