While I certainly understand the desire to set the record straight, the best thing to do is ignore them. As is made clear on their website, they are set in their views, and there is no reasonable discussion to be had.
What they -- and most groups at the extremes of any issue -- don???t understand is that, by using extreme rhetoric, they ensure that their view will not be taken seriously by anyone outside of their group. Whose mind is going to be changed by someone ranting & raging? On the other hand, a courteous, civil discussion can often be fruitful.
