Allowances

Actually, this has been a hotly debated thing on conservative websites. Many conservatives believe that the liberals try to shout down and otherwise censor other voices. Protests are notorious for doing this, actually. They won't let anybody march in the protest that doesn't have a voice which has the same view.

However, the Republican cronies are much worse when it comes to allowing people hear what they actually have to say. IT has to be filtered through media (or a diligant search can usually find a transcription, but its not the same) if we are to hear what the Republicans have to say, which isn't exactly my cup of tea. As I have mentioned before, there was the case in Grand Rapids I previously mentioned, as well as more recent cases, including Green Bay, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and other locations, including a smaller, non-Bush, event in Wisconsin,

I did find a story where the Kerry campaign also restricted access, which means it is a universal practice, but in it, the Kerry campaign ended with the students gaining admission after promising not to protest, which is perfectly understandable if they are wearing opposing stickers, at University of Miami.

What does this say? I dunno, I just found it interesting.
