Let’s meet Tom Flanagan: A man who is ok with the exploitation of children and is or was on the North American Man-Boy Love Association mailing list for at least two years..
Quoting from here:
“Well, Dr. Flanagan is the neocon pope no more, having uttered the astonishing opinion at a seminar the previous evening in the deep-south Alberta city of Lethbridge that child pornography is, if not exactly OK, more of a freedom of expression issue than an exploitation of children issue.
Not only that, but in response to a questioner at the University of Lethbridge seminar, Dr. Flanagan informed his audience he’d been on the mailing list of the North American Man-Boy Love Association for two years. One can only hope this is in error, as he seemed to be implying

G&M: an article written in a way that appears to present Mr Flanagan as a victim
He is no victim. He made his statements freely. The fact that a camera was present would have been entirely meaningless had Mr Tom Flanagan said nothing. Instead, he said something that clearly shocked his listening audience
The fault lies with Tom Flanagan espousing views that are distasteful and freely mentioning his Man-Boy love mailing list inclusion. He is not a victim of anything but his own hubris.
