I checked with Cabela's. Their response is below. It appears that Kerry would get the same courtesy if he requested it. Thanks for the comments and vote of support. Recently, we've been taken to task for allowing politicians to visit our stores and we are somewhat puzzled by that. We look at it as providing a public service, providing a forum for the exchange of political ideas and information. Informed voters, we should all hope, make the best decisions. Officially, Cabela's takes no sides in the presidential election, but have so far honored requests from the President and Vice President to visit our stores. To our way of thinking, when the President and Vice President of the United States ask to appear, well, they are the leaders of our country and, politics aside, they deserve respect and consideration. It has been our policy not to solicit political appearances, from either side, but we will show appropriate courtesy when approached. Again, thanks for you comments. Sincerely, Joe Arterburn Corporate Communications Manager Cabela's One Cabela Drive Sidney, NE 69160 Hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm :-) Harry Mason www.Troutflies.com Mummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm %^) If you believe that your dummer than a three year old crowbar. If your a good citizen you should have been able to get into to Cabelas and hear the President of the United States. These weren't civic afairs they were campaign events for Bush and his Handler to get elected ( not re-elected mind you) Cabelas made their store availabe for canidate Bush and Cheney, not the president or the VP. If you wante to attend and your a democrat, a Nader supporter, a socialist or a prohibitionst your SOL. All the attendees are preselected and sign the paper that says there going to vote for Shrub. you right, they are all liars.Every last one of them, liars to the right of me, liars to the left of me, in swift boats, not in swift boats, under the rocks, behind the trees, they all around me. They are all ****ing lying. everyone is a ****ing liar... ****ing a. Oh, and just what the **** is a "good citizen"... never mind, you'd be lying Harry Mason www.Troutflies.com |

Jeepers! So much anger here! I wasn't trying to change your mind. I just thought it might be interesting to here what Cabela's had to say about the matter. I don't think much of Kerry, but I wouldn't be upset of Cabele's hosted a speech for him. How are we supposed to know how to vote if we don't hear what these people have to say? Am I supposed to slam anyone who provides a forum for Kerry? Am I to believe that the audience is never screened at events for Democrats? I'll bet you dismissed anyone who criticized the Dixie Chicks for speaking their minds as right-wing fanatics. You're bitching about Cabela's just for allowing Bush to speak. What does that make you? Have a nice day. I'm going to do some fishing! |

No Clear Channel Radio--right-wing media giants--have silenced the Dixie Chicks. Obviously, if big business and industry have a right to prevent the American electorate from voicing it's opinions, the electorate has a right to boycott big business and industry. I guess that would make us equals? Mark |

So where's the oppression from the "right-wing media giants"? This thread started because Cabela's allowed Bush/Cheney to speak at their stores. I don't see how that translates to big business and industry preventing the electorate from voicing its opinions. |

However, a concert tour doesn't equate with: "... Clear Channel owns or operates 1,165 radio stations in the United States." (http://www.wired.com/news/business/0,1367,54036,00.html) "It's also the nation's largest concert promoter and one of the largest billboard companies."

Read the related articles in the links provided above and you'll get a CLEAR CHANNEL picture. This thread started because Cabela's allowed Bush/Cheney to speak at their stores. That's right, and when Cabela's *invites* Kerry/Edwards to hold campaign rallies at the VERY SAME outlets it provided to the Bush/Cheney campaign, I will withdraw my complaint. I don't see how that translates to big business and industry preventing the electorate from voicing its opinions. Think monopolization of media outlets! Seriously, read the post-gazette link, and imagine that one far-left liberal corporation controlled so much of the nations broadcast media and billboard advertising. "FCC commissioners and lawmakers have been particularly concerned about radio companies like Clear Channel Communications Inc., the biggest radio station owner with about 1,200, owning all of the stations in a market." (http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp...ndustry_fcc_dc) "'The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit in Philadelphia in June stayed the FCC rules and ordered the agency to use viewer data to amend the regulations. Without a detailed viewership assessment, the FCC cannot accurately measure media diversity, the court said.' 'The court said to get a consistent methodology across markets that takes into account the audience that uses news," Cooper said. "Making sure control of news production is not restricted to a handful of media companies is a key goal of the agency's regulations, and the court recognized that.'"
