Originally posted by Grojlach: By the way, in my curious search for information about the NRA a minute ago, I stumbled upon several sites claiming that this Charlton Heston guy made "inflammatory remarks regarding women, gays and lesbians, and African Americans; while at the same time trivializing the Holocaust" during a speech before the Free Congress Foundation in 1997. If that's true, it doesn't automatically make Clooney's remarks any less of poor taste, but it does make them a lot more understandable, actually...

I sort of doubt what you say about Charlton Heston, since it is common knowledge that he was a supporter of Martin Luther King I have seen documentaries on the History Channel showing him standing and marching side-by-side with Dr. King. In 2001 he received the Martin Luther King Jr. Award from the Congress of Racial Equility and if I remember correctly he was a Member of the ACLU. I somehow don't think they would have given him an award like that, had he made a speech castigating Blacks and women.

My guess is that the sites you happened to stumble on where somewhat left bent and are some how trying to smear is name over his stance concerning firearms!
