There is a rather basic form of English language difference between advocating for the legality of something, and telling someone to perform an illegal act.

But even if NAMBLA had TOLD someone to perform an illegal act - that STILL doesn't mean they should be punished in anyway if someone then performs the illegal act.

I could tell you to jump off a bridge. It's not my responsibility if you do it.
