Won't it be nice when those Dixie DipSh*ts disappear!

Why don't those two **** and get it over with?
Then again, I really don't give a crap about it, so why am I even posting?

Lesson Learned: don't disagree with anyone in America or stand up for what you believe or people will want you to disappear.
can you say black-raven cars of the old Soviet Union?

That's the last straw from the Dixie Chicks! I'm deleting all their files from my KaZaA Lite shared folder and I won't steal their music any longer! :mad:

Lesson Learned: If you piss off your customers dont be surprised if they arnt your customer anymore.
Not much more than that. Now if the justice department was swooping in and gathering DChicks albums and shutting down their concerts as a threat to national security I could understand the paranioa.

this explains the whole thing IMO.. and accurately:
"disgusted with certain artists who just cannot see that the world doesn't revolve around them and their pettiness all the time."

Hanoi Jane did ok after the war. She single-handedly spawned the celebrity work-out videotape industry.
I think its just a bunch of celebrity attitude problem hoo-ha, kind of like the spat between Kurt Busch and Jimmy Spencer.

Yeah, but Hanoi Jane had a great body. That Dixie Chick chick is fat and not very attractive.
Heya Classy Man, you ever get all the nuts and bolts on your BMW converted from Metric to Standard to match your tools?

Freedom of speech isn't a one-way street.
-
What? It that all it's about? One of them makes some point about some redneck flag waving geetar player they have issues with and the good ol' country music world is 'dissappointed with them agin?
Get a sense of proportion people!!!!
It think half the problem is that they are some uppity women riling the good ol' boys in Opryland.
One point though, freedom of speech is not a right. Check it out if you don't believe me.

Spoken like a true communist. I can speak my mind but you are not allowed to disagree.
See the Dixie Chicks exorcised their freedom of speech and we exorcised our freedom of choice and we choose to not give a Dixie **** about them or thier beliefs.
The problem wasn't that they disagreed but that they were disrespectful. It was simply in bad taste to go to England and try to suck up to the crowd who were also anti bush and say they were embarassed that he was also from Texas.
That wasn't constructive, it was just an underhanded insult.
they expressed their opinion of Bush and many Americans are expressing their opinions about them.
Who sees a difference? :rolleyes:

Oh no! Is there any way to get my freedom of speech back once it's been exorcised?! I didn't want it to go away, really I didn't!
SOB

thats right IMSNEAKY

if you weren't so myopic, you'd see that thats what was being said.
the first post said "Won't it be nice when those Dixie DipSh*ts disappear!"...for exorcising their freedoms.. kinda extreme. get it?
btw, its not American to be in bad taste or insulting

I think you're missing Bodhi's point Hawk. He wasn't advocating the government taking them away...he was referring to them loosing their fan base and going the way of 80s hair bands.
SOB

ya, I think you're right SOB
I was stretching the intent of Bohdi's original statement from simple to the dramatic.

I can't believe some people's lives are so incredibly shallow that they care even a little bit about a squable between these performers. Just like tv news faces, they're just entertainers. If you are entertained, pay up. If not, move along.
-
lmao!
going the way of 80s hair bands.
Just like tv news faces, they're just entertainers.
all of which should show responsibility..
or at least be ready to deal with consequences of their actions.
I for one, am not saying they should or should not have said something.. it's their choice. But they shouldn't whine when the consequences of their choice(s) cause them to lose fans/money.
Same goes for anyone that want's to have 'free speech' without consequences.. it's idiotic to think like that.

Very few things are as polarizing as politics.
The point is that as a public figure you can't expect to stand up and use your fame and notoriety to make that political statement and then whine and cry when it polarizes many people against you.
People aren't saying that they don't have the right to make thier statements. They are saying that if the Dixie Chix want to make those statements they also have the right to make a statemnet againt them.
So how is that any different? The Dixie Chix made a statement against a very popular leader. He may not be popular with you but he is popular none the less. Just like Clinton wasn't popular with me but he was popular with many other people.
Still the Dixie Chix made a statement and Texans, Country Music fans, and many Americans in general are making a statement.
So what are you saying? The Dixie Chix should be allowed to make that statement and if many Americans found offensive and in bad taste we cannot make a statement of our own?

IIRC, there's a TK video with fans in shirts that state, "FUDC".
If so... the shirt from Maines is not the first volley.
