************************************************** Dam sleazy bigot going down the tube... THU JUL 24, 2014 AT 03:48 PM PDT Another Nugent Cancellation! byDelta OverdueFollow Apparently some momentum is building in the effort to cancel the concerts of racist homophobe, Ted Nugent. From Northwest Cable News Emerald Queen Casino will cancel two Ted Nugent concerts that were scheduled August 2 and 3 over allegations of racist remarks by the singer. The first amendment gives people the right free speech, but I think racism is intolerable and not acceptable here, said Puyallup Tribal Council Vice President Lawrence W. LaPointe. We’ve been getting lots of complaints from the community and other organizations. Kudos to The Puyallup Tribe for doing what is right. In light of the fact Terd was booked for two nights, this is significant. There are other shows that might still get the cold shoulder. Ninalyn wrote an excellent diary the other day that may have had a bearing on this cancellation. That diary is full of links to other shows, so if you have some time, lets keep this rolling! Update: As suggested by Morgan Sandlin in the comments, we should send out thanks to the Puyallup Tribe for their courageous decision. They make it pretty easy and instant at this link: Emerald Queen Casino Contact Also, thanks for the visibility on the Rec List!
