No it wasn't, not even in the least. It's absolutely dishonest to pretend that's what it was.

Go after him for what he actually said instead of making up things to be angry about.

You thinking you have the more enlightened position simply because you are willing to carte blanche accept this behavior or foreign policy position from the candidate that will be better for the United States doesn’t make you a genius, it makes you self-rigtheous and self-centered. Real innocent people are really dying, and your ability to shrug that off in such a smug, self-satisfied way is truly appalling.

This really isn't at all what he said, and is an extremely dishonest thing to post.

You complain that your comments fall on deaf ears, but when you accuse people of things that are blatant lies, what do you expect?

Is it alarmist though? Do you think that if Trump wins the election, democracy in the US will be the same 4 years from now as it is today?

"I'm gonna vote for Jill Stein!"

And you’re trying to argue that “New club starts after school, kids have fun” Is some gross misrepresentation of what you said?

Yes. Because that's not what I said at all. Go read what I actually fucking said.

It was a completely inoffensive article

It wasn't.

that you blatantly misrepresented so you could offended. Sorry, but you clearly tried hard to do so.

I didn't.

And I notice that you didn’t actually challenge any of my claims.

Because it was a dishonest troll comment that misrepresented what I said. Just like this one is too. There's nothing to challenge when all that you wrote was dishonest. And there's no reason to treat you seriously when you're just trolling.

Well I wouldn't have expected them to publish kids' names for exactly the reason you suggest. But getting quotes from them should have been possible. And in any case, whether they quote the kids or not, at the minimum I expect them not to platform the people spewing hate. I don't agree with you that what the article does is simply "shining a light." They're helping them out.

“New club starts after school, kids have fun”

Except this is not what I said at all.

Nice try at a dishonest post though. Read what I actually wrote and try again.

you had to try very hard to be offended by it.

Nah, I didn't have to try very hard at all. But clearly you put a lot of thought into being a troll. Hopefully you didn't hurt yourself.

Is it though?

"After School Satan Club"

Is that provocative? Is that offensive? Would you say that the school's evangelical "Good News Club" is provocative or trolling?

Calling is a Satan Club is "only to make Christians mad" but calling it a "Good News Club" is not trolling to make non-Christians mad? This says more about your own prejudices than anything else.

Articles like this are exactly what the club wants.

Yeah, probably.

Shining a light on them is mentioning that there were protesters there with signs while still focusing on the club.

Giving them a platform is dedicating half of the article to the protestors, quoting their bigoted signs, interviewing 2 of the protesters for bigoted quotations and publishing those quotes along with their names, then not interviewing or quoting any of the students.
