your attacks on Noir and Clarke.

LaPierre claims Obama was only elected because he's black; effectively that's him claiming Obama was elected, not for his personal virtues and insights but merely so the American political body can say, "We're not racist! See we have a black friend!"

It's an insult because it denies Obama and his supporters their own free will.

Yet, here you are claiming the NRA of the exact same offense. You deny Noir and Clarke freely speak their minds with sincerity and I can only imagine what debased rationale you'll claim motivates the NRA's membership in its support of Shaneen Allen.

You have become so obsessed with making a claim you have descended into becoming the very thing you profess to fight. If LaPierre's behavior is so repugnant (and it is) than don't do that (which you are).
