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

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.

This was sent as email to subscribers such as myself and posted on AFA's website. As far as I know, it was NOT a press release to the MSM, nor do I see it reported by the MSM.

The people it was sent to, know the AFA and their mission. Most of them generally agree with and support that mission.

It is safe, IMO, to assume that the receivers of this email, actually read the entire email, understood the email and then decided whether or not they agreed with and wished to support said mission.

If you and others, want to demonize conservatives groups that are attempting to warn about a dangerous agenda and would rather obfuscate the message and pick apart a "headline" of an email...
