What the ACLU supports is Freedom of Speech. They are quite adamant in stating that while there are many groups whose ideals they don't support, they will fight for their (the groups) right to say what they believe. It's like one of the Founding Fathers said: "I vehemently disagree with what you say, and I will fight to the death for your right to say it."

So, if you believe in the United States, you believe in the Constitution; by believeing in the Constitution you believe in the First Ammendment; by believeing in the First Ammendment, you believe in the ACLU; and by believing in teh ACLU you believe everything that every group they support believes; therefore, you support NAMBLA.

Do I think you support NAMBLA? Of course not. But, according to the logic in your last post, you do. SO maybe now you can see how it is quite possible for a group like the ACLU to give their kind of support to a group they don't believe in. (And remember, "their kind of support" means nothing more than free legal representation; they don't hold rallies, encourage behavior, etc. All they do is help these groups exersize their constitutional right to say what they believe.)
