Since radio frequencies are controlled by the FCC I would imagine that the owner of a station may be limited in the amount of censure he may employ. I could be wrong though.

You would be wrong when it comes to playing entertainment content. Those country stations would probably never play rap music for example. It's not censorship. Or censureship. They can play what they want, within obsenity laws, etc., and not play what they want. The Dixie Chicks alienated a large chunk of their fan base, and the radio stations are responding.

Protesting your government is fine. It's your right as an American.

The flag is a symbol of our country. It isn't a symbol of republicans, democrats, green party, or the judicial system. As an american burning the flag, you are showing your hatred for it, and all that it stands for. Including yourself. And you are using the freedoms that the flag provides you to do it.

If you hate the country, then move. If you hate the government, then protest it. Or better yet, do something to change it. Run for office.

Burning the flag is disrespecting yourself, me, and my ancestors that worked to make this country what it is. I will, and have, take care of any flag burning that take place in front of me.

I'll go to my grave defending the right of U.S. citizens to burn the Stars and Stripes. I'll also continue to not only defend, but exercise my right of free speech (a right to many people tend to believe as "free") to say people who live in the United States and wish to burn the Flag..... are one of, if not the most, ridiculous spectacles of stupidity and hypocrisy there are. Seriously.. all I can do is laugh at them

Oh I diasgree. I'm assuming you mean to compare that to what america and Bush are doing. We arent telling anyone to shut up alltogether and not voice their opinion or face getting kicked out of the UN. Were just asking for their support and if they wont give it to us we will just do it by ourselves. If they disagree we will just not that and move forward in knowledge that we are right and that we must act in our self defence.

Again i ackgnowlege you may have dificulty seeing this through your bush hatred biut it's plainly obvious that we arent telling countries to shut up, were just trying to argue our case.

That would be GUITARS and LYRICS. Perhaps you should have spent more time in class and less time listening to Hip Hop.

By the by, I resent this group being called the "Dixie Hicks."

Most of the "hicks" I know support our troops AND the President during time of war. They might criticize Bush in private conversation, but they wouldn't be crass enough to do it overseas in front of foreigners.

Maybe they need to change their name...wonder what would be a good one for them?

"Hollywood Liberals" comes to mind, dunno how much of a future they have among country music fans. It's pretty much right of center fan base.

Dixie Chicks-"Takes a big mouth to sing country and it helps alot when inserting both feet!"

hmm, I wonder if they could do a lot of USO touring in Iraq as a penance, or would the troops hoot em off the stage?
