John Avlon uncovers the National Rifle Association’s enemies list.
“Richard Nixon would be embarrassed to find that his once sinister form of score-keeping has been revived so promiscuously by the NRA. But there is some redeeming social value here: The list illustrates an organization that has become hermetically sealed from society at large, so caught up in conservative debates that it has forgotten how to connect with Main Street America.”
The Week: “The rogues gallery includes some unsurprising entries, such as the
American Civil Liberties Union. But it seems almost no organization or
person has escaped the NRA’s gaze, including the AARP, the Congress of
Neurological Surgeons, the National Association of Public Hospitals, and
the Police Foundation.”
