Not just the NRA, every right-wing wingnut group is pumping out tons of emails, tweets, and blog posts that are so incredibly wrong, blatant lies. Any bad news will be spun to make it Obama's fault, occasionally blame the democrats, but usually just Obama. If there's no bad news they'll conjure something up out of thin air.
I get emails that have been forwarded over and over (sometimes a hundred addresses on them), which can disproven with one quick Google search. Sometimes they even contain links that totally disprove them, but nobody bothers to click, they just forward in a rage because it says what they want to hear.
