Check out some of the statements that begin with the words "Who loved you so much that ..." How does the writer know this? How can the writer presume to know that any particular person picking up that tract and reading it is numbered among Christ's elect? What about Esau? What about Pharaoh? What about Judas? I believe this falls under the category of misinterpreting, misstating, or misrepresenting God's word. | Possibly. But I think that God does love the ungodly, although not in the same ways that he loves the elect. It's not as simple as "God loves the elect, God hates the non-elect." See D. A. Carson's Difficult Doctrine of the Love of God.
