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

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"?
