We are a society that has tolerated the existance of NAMBLA since 1977 what could you expect.
And before any of you free speech advocates get your panties knotted up its not free speech when it advocates something illegal.
Of course it is still free speech. That is the POINT. I hate the term freedom of speech, but its the common term today so I'll use it here. "Freedom of speech" is directly proportionate to your ability to tolerate speech that you find vile and disgusting. Legal or illegal doesn't matter. To say that freedom of speech doesn't include something illegal would be to say that prior to Rosa Parks that forming an organization to promote blacks sitting at the front of the bus would have not been freedom of speech.
I don't like NAMBLA, but you have to allow them to exist. That's the point.
Of course the fact that I tolerate NAMBLA also means that I am free to discuss what disgusting and vile people are. I think that they are disgusting and would personally rather see them shipped off to some remote desert island than sit next to one.
