I work for a milk co-op. If I started writing articles saying how milk is the worst thing in the world, even a private citizen, I could very well be disciplined and fired from my job.

Plus I would make a few phone calls and have you "talked to."
The way I see the ACLU is that they are there to push the boundaries. I highly doubt that most, if
any, of people who work for the ACLU actually support the activities of NAMBLA. In fact, I would lay a lot of money on the bet that they are probably wholly repulsed by them.
But they have to push the boundaries. They are part of the process that draws the societal line. If it wasn't for people like them our rights would just shrink and shrink because there'd be no push-back.
