Yes, in fact, this article is like every other Rand bashing article I've seen-- they aren't honest about what Rand actually said.
It's politically motivated, and written by someone who has no integrity..... he doesn't care if he's lying. People getting outraged at his lies is, as far as he's concerned, good publicity.
The sad thing is, every month you see a Rand bashing article posted to hacker news and every month you see a lot of people posting in the comments attacking Rand for things she didn't say.
They believe what they're told to think about Rand and they internalize it so that it becomes fact.
So, they actually believe she thought charity was evil, for instance.
This is the kind of anti-intellectualism that is consuming american political discourse.
They want to prevent others from reading the book, so they lie about it.
