Don't often see libs destroying records or burning books because they disagree with the author.

Cons often miss that point.

Very true. Good quote, but I feel that applies mostly before or after wars begin.  Make no mistake, it has begun.

MT but you have to admit, they have the freedom to do it? Why is it so bad that they are pissed?


They have the freedom to be pissed and to send a message to the band that they are really pissed, what better way to do that then burn the CDs.


Do you get all up in arms when people( good libs) burn a flag?

CDs burning=bad?
Flag burning good?

Why? Cause CDs polute?

I love the comment about them being anti american, I didn't see and anti american comment. I saw an anti bush comment

Anti-Bush comments are fine, but delivering them to foreign audiences is pretty greasy.  Especially when these bimbos are getting rich, largely from Texan fans.

Freedom of speak ?

They still have freedom of speach.  But now they have less money.  They blew it.

LOL...

Do you guys honestly think it is the burning that is the point?

Would you agree with the burning of a book because you disagreed with the author? How about all his books? Is there a difference between a book and a CD?

Of course they have the right to disagree with what the Dixie Chubbs said. When people assume that dissent means treason is when they have missed the point of what America is (should be) all about.

WhereI live country stations pulled thier music as well.

They can say whatever they want. So can the people who dont agree with umm.

They can burn their CDs, boycott theirs shows and radio stations they play their music. None of that impacts their freedom.

Next time the fat one opens her mouth the other 2 will most likely shove a sandwich in it.

Gto and Iron

yup, you are right that they have the freedom to torch the CDs in protest. so what about jumping to the  conclusion that they are 'terrorist chicks' because they said something against the President? so that means that to say anything against the President makes you a terrorist, and all that entails?  If so, then there are 140 million terrorists in the US.

Who said they were terrorists hawk? I wouldn't even say they are terrible, though I don't care for much of their music.

MT, dissent can be treason, depends on the content and how it's acted out.

The Dixie Chicks are guilty of nothing more than bad judgement, and I for one hope they lose their careers over it. They have more money than they'll ever need anyhow.

Yes they have the right to be stupid. Yes they have the right to mistakenly think they are now Terrorist chicks, or whatever.


Do you really think the person who said the "terrorist Chicks" Thing, thinks they are now terrorists?

I think the fan said it cause it is a funny take on the bands name. But even if I am wrong they have the right to believe it.

People in the U.S. Have the right to say dumb things.   This is new to you and seem anti American or wrong?



Hey MT, and as long as they paid for the books, burning them in my eyes is fine, just as long as they don't try and burn mine.

What sort of dumb sh(* would spout off a "liberal" view to what has been a tradionaly conservative group..ie country music fans.
She outta get at least an honorable mention in "tard" of the year awards.
Of course, I only see what he posts here and what he does in the MA.  I know virtually nothing about the man.  I think its important for people to realize that we don't really know squat about each other.... definately not enough to use words like "hate".
