Cabelas has been hosting Bush and his gang of thieves in various locations for town hall meetings. Here DICKs speach in the "Minnesota small business". http://www.georgewbush.com/News/Read.aspx?ID=3196 I had them take me off the mailing list, River City fly shop never looked better. 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.

I received a similar response:
------------ No, Cabela's is not sponsoring town hall meetings for Bush or any presidential candidate. The President and Vice President have asked to visit our stores, which we have allowed them to do, just as we have for the Kerry-Edwards camp. Cabela's will not endorse either candidate nor take sides in this presidential contest. We believe we can best provide a service to voters by providing a forum for the exchange of ideas and political commentary. Informed voters, as we all know, are the best voters. Again, Cabela's is not taking either side nor sponsoring town hall meetings, but, in the interest of fairness, welcomes both sides equally. Thanks for contacting us and letting us know your concern. ------------------------- -- ------------------------------------------------------------- Now available: new Particle Salad CD "The Track Inside."

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! |

If you do not know who you are going to vote for, you should listen to what Shrub has to say. Guess what? If you do not know who you are going to vote for, you are NOT WELCOME at shrubs speeches. In order to attend a shrub speech, you are required to sign a political loyalty oath approved by the Republican national committee. "I, [full name] ... do herby [sic] endorse George W Bush for reelection of the United States." The form noted: "In signing the above endorsement you are consenting to use and release of your name by Bush-Cheney as an endorser of President Bush." "The Arizona Republic had a political blogger there who said that he saw at least one woman denied entrance even though she had a paid ticket because they thought she worked for the AZ Dem party" -- http://www.majorityreportradio.com/weblog/archives/ Bush%20%20Tribal%20Sovereignty.mp3 "Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we," President george bush (AKA president dumb dumb) |

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. |

(http://www.post-gazette.com/tv/20020...ar0623fnp3.asp) So where's the oppression from the "right-wing media giants"? 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.'"

Aren't the Dixie Chicks, Springsteen, et. al. on tour at the moment promoting something called "Vote for Change" or something like that? I wouldn't know, really. However, a concert tour doesn't equate with: "... Clear Channel owns or operates 1,165 radio stations in the United States."
