Obama ads on the Outdoor channel
« on: October 09, 2008, 08:15:36 PM »
I was a little surprised over the last few weeks to see Ads supporting Barack Obama on the Outdoor channel, especially during wednesday night at the range.  Has anyone else seen these, and if so, what do you think about them?

I think fair is fair, and censorship is wrong.

The Outdoor Channel is a business.  They do not cater to a certain political group.  If some one wants to pay them to run legitimate advertisement why should they say no?

Dems hunt, fish, shoot and own firearms, should OC just toss those viewers and potential consumers of other advertisers over the dam?

EDIT:

I detest the man and his policies and think that anyone that votes for him is either a socialist/Marxist and or to stupid to be allowed to vote.  AND any one that is still 'undecided' should be on artificial life support as they are already brain dead!

Come on now Haz, Let us know how you really feel  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

By the way, I agree with you completely
"If violent crime is to be curbed, it is only the intended victim who can do it. The felon does not fear the police, and he fears neither judge nor jury. Therefore what he must be taught to fear is his victim." - Jeff Cooper
Pericles--"Freedom is only for those who have the guts to defend it".

The problem with society today is that not enough of us drink wine from our enemies skulls”.

It takes 43 muscles to frown, 17 to smile, and 3 for proper trigger squeeze.

Gun control is like trying to reduce drunk driving by making it tougher for sober people to own cars!!!
-Sheriff Jim Wilson
"When tyranny becomes law rebellion becomes duty" Thomas Jefferson
Es gibt keine Notwendigkeit zu befürchten, Underdog hier ist.
Great nations rise and fall. The people go from bondage to spiritual truth, to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency, from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependence, from dependence back again to bondage. Where are we now??????

I know, I've been told not to be so shy and retiring and that I need to speak my mind more.  I am trying!  ;D

I don't think that a media outlet, including stations like the Outdoor Channel, can refuse to sell advertising to candidates.

If it were from an outside group they could, but not for a candidate or party.

That was what was brought up in the threats from BHO's camp over the NRA ads calling BHO on his total flip of claims to his political history and the stance of his party.

You all know I've been glued to that one....yeah, right.

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

As calm cool and level headed as you can remain leads me to suggest you keep the duct tape handy and apply as needed  ;)
