Dixie Hicks show ignorance...

Vader you've just tied Weazel for the "Dipshit of the Year" award.

Internal dissent is fine, you dont agree with something our leadership is doing, you have the right, and I would say almost a responsibility to speak up.  BUT SPEAK UP IN HOUSE.  Do not go in front of other nations and complain or criticize.

If I am mad at my brother, I can talk to him at his house or mine and tell him just what I think. He will listen, maybe understand, and he might even respect my opinion. It won't cause a big problem.  Now on the other hand, if I go around telling others how I think my brother is messed up, wrong or a jerk, he might get mighty mad and I would be wrong to do it that way.

Thats the problem with what Natalie did, she didn't keep her stupid comment in-house, rather she pandered to the Euro audience, looking for  quick acceptance.  Too bad she lacks the courage to stand by her country and it's leaders through thick and thin.

Not the first time they've been close.

Both were obviouslly sexually abused during childhood.  I blame society.

And it is funny how you support burning the US flag in protest but are appaled when somebody burns some pop music CD...   I could call you names and all that MT but if you dont see the hypocricy in your stance then there is nothing to say.

Before I comment, you have every right to burn your CD's or books. Burning books (CD's or any other intellecual product) is different than burning a flag however, for the following reasons:

Burning a flag is a statement that leaves you without a flag. It is a desecration of a symbol, and a statement that reaffirms that the people are the true power of a free country, and not the government.

Burning books is a statement that eliminates an idea. If done on a grand scale it makes the statement that a thought or idea is wrong or illegal.

I hope this helps.

well articulated MT

But in this case, it is not book burning on a grand scale, so it works the same, the fans are sending a strong statement to the band.

Nothing wrong with that.

I would think that they'd change name to "Hollywood Chicks" and move there now; probably also pose as victims of censorship, make millions.

Or, burning a book is a statement about a statement. Some statements, like people, are in fact wrong. That is why we are going into Iraq after all. I believe you have the right to be wrong, just so long as you let me be right. And remember, that while two wrongs don't make a right, three lefts do.

As a concerned American citizen, I apologize to President Bush because my remark was disrespectful. I now realize that whoever holds that office should be treated with the utmost respect.

I hope everyone understands, I'm just a young girl who grew up in Texas. As far back as I can remember, I heard people say they were ashamed of President Clinton.

I saw bumper stickers calling him everything from a pothead to a murderer. I heard people on the radio and tv like Rush Limbaugh, Pat Robertson, Newt Gingrich and Trent Lott bad mouthing the President and ridiculing his wife and daughter at every opportunity.

I heard LOTS of people disrespecting the President. So I guess I just assumed it was acceptable behavior.

But now, thanks to the thousands of angry people who want radio stations to boycott our music because criticizing the President is unpatriotic, I realize it's wrong to have a liberal opinion if you're a country music artist.

I guess I should have thought about that before deciding to play music that attracts hypocritical red necks.

I also realize now that I'm supposed to just sing and look cute so our fans won't have anything to upset them while they're cheating on their wives or getting in drunken bar fights or driving around in their pickup trucks shooting highway signs and small animals.

And most important of all, I realize that it's wrong for a celebrity to voice a political opinion, unless they're Charlie Daniels, Clint Black, Merle Haggard, Barbara Mandrell, Loretta Lynn, Ricky Skaggs, Travis Tritt, Hank Williams Jr, Amy Grant, Larry Gatlin, Crystal Gayle, Reba McEntire, Lee Greenwood, Lorrie Morgan, Mike Oldfield, Ted Nugent, Wayne Newton, Dick Clark, Jay Leno, Drew Carey, Dixie Carter, Victoria Jackson, Charleton Heston, Fred Thompson, Ben Stein, Bruce Willis, Kevin Costner, Arnold Schwartzenegger, Bo Derek, Rick Schroeder, George Will, Pat Buchanan, Bill O'Reilly, Joe Rogan, Delta Burke, Robert Conrad or Jesse Ventura.

God Bless America,
Natalie

She can sing whatever she wants.  Just don't expect to sell anything.  She can go to the bulldozer front in gaza and hand them out to the protestors.

America is threatened by Iraq in no way, it's just plain rediculous

Aint it the truth? I wont watch a movie with Alec Baldwin in it now.
Or one with Martin Sheen either. too name just a few that have lost my ticket monies Maybe the cuddlinghunkes will listen to thier agents a little more closely when they say things that 75% of Americans disagree with.

Yeah straffo they can say whatever the hell they want(free speech), they may lose 75% of thier profit base by doing it
though. America is a very fickle nation. Our buying power speaks volumes too. Some americans wont ever forgive them. I will, I think shes just a stupid blonde. At least she was smart enuff to say she was sorry...(weather she was or not)

[Shuckins]

One point to ponder is that, despite the uproar they generated, which may hurt sales of their "music" for awhile, the Dixie Chicks can return to the U.S. in safety.  They may be booed or egged on occasion, but the hoopla will die down and they will return to business as usual.

I DOUBT the same could be said for any Iraqi dissenter who made a similar comment about Saddam while visiting a foreign country.

By the way, American fundamentalists may be outspoken, but they do not have the reputation of blowing up innocent civilians.  It's hypocritical to defend the Dixie Chick's right of free speech in one breath and condemn a different group for doing the same in the next breath.  At the very least that's bigotry.
