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

How is utilizing deceptive/misleading tactics being family oriented?

Some gay orgainzation utilizing an affiliate program available to nearly any business or organization means nothing in the scope of things. It has no bearing on your family or mine because neither of us will be going to that website, nor would I have even known about it without this press release.

Call me naive or whathaveyou, but I would expect that an orgainzation supposedly geared to being family oriented and promoting family values would not engage in the same PR tactics utilized by others with less valuable goals.

This is not the first time that AFA has utilized misleading or fallacious tactics in press releases, and I doubt it will be the last. If they wish to take the moral high ground, they better be darned sure they are sitting on it before faulting others.

The more one is willing to agree with the use of misleading tactics in an ends justifies the means position, the less crdibility one has. The AFA, for all the good they may have done or try to continue to do, has lost a heck of a lot of credibility because of their use of such tactics.
