I think that it is pretty clear that most of us do not care for what NAMBLA believes in. I would imagine that most of us are in fact disgusted by these individuals - I know I am. The question remains, do they have a right to exist as an organizaiton? The answer is clearly yes. The issue is if this organization actively pursues or assists in the committing of crimes. If the organization sponsors or assists in crimes, then they can and should be held accountable and prossecuted. If they are only speaking out and lobbying for their beliefs (however unpleasant you or I may find them) they have every right to do so.
A better solution is to shine a very bright light on this organization. Every attempt should be made to "out" the members and make it very uncomfortable for them to live their daily lives. Let's handle these types of issues ourselves, rather than giving up more of our rights and freedoms.
