When I quoted the last 8 words preceeded by ellipsis, which by definition are a continuation of thought, it seemed to be an accurate representation of what you said. How did I mispresent you?

I understood your elipses, others may not have, and thus just those 8 words did not represent the enirety fo my comment/question.

You are assuming the AFA doesn't know about all this. Of course, I'm assuming you haven't talked to the AFA to get their official statement on the matter.

I assume nothing, as you should not either. As I stated last night, AFA has not yet responded to my query as to why it is only WalMart they are attacking when there are dozens of other companies providing the exact same service, many with much higher financial incentives.

Now that's a very interesting statement. You are concentrating on the insignificant, the non-issue in all this.

Not at all. I find inaccurate and misleading press releases to be very significant and a major issue in all of this. By using misleading tactics credibility is called into question. The credibility of the anti-smoker crusade is being called into question, by members of the crusade itself, for just such similar misleading tactics.

The AFA isn't in the politically correct business. They're in the business of alerting social conservatives and Christains about companies such as Walmart that promote organizations similar to the Washington DC Community Center for Gay, Lesbian Bisexual and Transgender.

And by using misleading means they defeat their own purpose. I had never heard of this group until I saw this hit piece on WalMart. The AFA is doing far more to promote this organization than WalMart has ever done. You and the AFA can see all of the bogeymen you wish to see coming from any source you wish to believe, but claiming the high moral road while using deceptive means is not exactly all that high up on the moral high ground, is it now?

Yes, you've made that statement more than once but in pointing that out, yet again, you are yet again demonstrating you've never checked out the AFA website.

Again you have made a wrong assumption of me and what I have or have not done. I am quite familiar with ehat AFA does.....I agree with much of it, however I do not agree with their misleading and deceptive tactics and thus feel obligated to call into question all of what they do.

Please click each link and read for what the AFA stands. They already support the issues with which you are concerned.

Please read my previous comment.

your elipses

Say what? They were yours, not mine. I quoted your entire paragraph in that post and do not see how quoting the last 8 words pulled your comments out context. You were talking about the Network and how the AFA was just finding out about it. I don't see anything out of context at all.

But you are assuming what the AFA knows when you say:

yet an organization such as AFA with the financial resources to put out such press releases does not have the resources to find out what I did in less than 10 minutes????

You just said the AFA has not yet responded to you, so you don't know what they know or why they're doing what they're doing. Therefore you are assuming. You're acting as if they AFA is required to dump every byte of information in every article to have credibility. That's ridiculous.

I find inaccurate and misleading press releases to be very significant and a major issue in all of this.

Please point out the inaccurate and misleading text in the press release. Please point out the deceptive means used in the press release. Here is the main body of the press release:

In a show of support to help homosexuals legalize same-sex marriage, Wal-Mart has agreed to automatically donate 5% of online sales directly to the Washington DC Community Center for Gay, Lesbian Bisexual and Transgender People. The cash donation will come from ALL online purchases made at Wal-Mart through the homosexual group's Web site. This move follows Wal-Mart's joining the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce and agreeing to give generous financial help to that group.

Please copy and paste what you believe to be inaccurate and misleading and tell me why it's inaccurate and misleading. If you had other text from the article in mind, please do the same. As I see it, the only way to see inaccurate and misleading text is to pull it out of context.

Please read my previous comment.

Here it is:

As I have stated on these threads, AFA would do more to promote family values by encouraging those who support them to be less materialistic and more family oriented.

As demonstrated with the many links at the AFA website, the AFA is pro-family in many ways, with their alert of the actions by Walmart yet another method of being more family oriented.
