The organization wasn't just sloppy, they deliberately tried to give the impression that,

"Wal-Mart Contributes 5% Of Online Sales To Homosexual Group"


"The cash donation will come from ALL online purchases made at Wal-Mart through the homosexual group's Web site."

If they were deliberately trying to give that impression, would it not have been more effective to just leave that statement out?

All I'm seeing are people being legalistic and nitpicky. If AFA were making big bucks off of their position, people would be attacking that.

I believe you saw the point all along, it is you that have wasted my time with feigned ignorance and legalisms.

the headline gives it all away:

Wal-Mart Contributes 5% Of Online Sales To Homosexual Group

That headline would give the average reader/consumer the idea that anything purchased online from WalMart gave a kickback to this particular organization. Of course people that read beyond the headline know the headline is an outright fabrication, but the average person just reads te headline and AFA kows this and thus their misleading and deceptive PR campaing against WalMart.
