1. good for them

Long live the 1st Amendment!

Stop the repugs from shutting us up!
Why are the repugs afraid of the truth?

[el_gato]

2. I have been so impressed with these women

two years ago i would have just written them off as clueless
popstars. it is heartening to see people break into the
bigtime and still be willing to say what they believe
unlike that robot brittany

[stopthegop]

3. how do you know Brittney doesn't believe what she said?

seriously?

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

6. she probably does

because she's an airhead and is probably gullible enough to buy anything Rove/FOX feeds the public

the dixie chicks have cleartly shown that they can think for themselves

[el_gato]

9. okay maybe she does believe what she says

i really don't give a shit

[Born_a_Democrat]

4. I would kinda support them (would wholeheartedly if they hadn't caved in)

like they did before...

Dean rode his message allllll the way through the tunnel of right-winged idiocy (sorry for being redundant there) and came out the other side like a freight train...THEY should have done the same...

I mean...I know now how they feel so even if they apologize I know their affiliation but they lost their nerve...

5. Ah, Yes--I Remember It Well

...after anti-George Bush remarks made by singer Natalie Maines onstage in London erupted into a conservative backlash in the United States...

I remember that backlash well: the poor things ended up with a multi-platinum album, a sold out tour, and enough radio stations boycotting them to count on one hand!

7. "I don't think these girls know what they're in for when they get back.'

--Sean Hannity



I love quoting conservative predictions that fizzled

remember how when the tour opener was successful, lucianne goldberg suddenly decided that it was 'an overplayed story' and not oly ended her daily anti-maines rants, but banned any reference to the dixie chicks on lucianne.com?

now that was funny!

[illini]

8. Its funny

What are the wingers to say " she is just a celeb.... oh??? What do you mean Ahnold is a celebrity too?????" heheh

10. "America should be governed by people who have a clue,"

Priceless quote. It looks like they're taking turns - I wonder who the third Chick is going to diss!

[VermontDem2004]

11. BOYCOTT!!!!

No celebrity has the right or the credentials to bash a gubernatorial candidate!

[Hanuman]

12. Well, they do it at their peril...

just hope they don't get beat up like last time, but it could happen.

[Enraged_Ape]

18. The Dixie Chicks'll be okay

I'd rather have a single Dixie Chick looking out for me than a squad of Navy Seals.

These ladies have talent, brains, GUTS, and class.

[Capn Sunshine]

15. AND NO CELEBRITY HAS THE RIGHT OR CREDENTIALS

to BE a gubernatorial candidate

[VermontDem2004]

16. I was just kidding

but I don't think people should be stripped from their credentials just because they are a celebrity. I am sure Martin Sheen would make one hell of a CA governor.

[Capn Sunshine]

22. You mean the politician Sheen PLAYS

or Sheen himself?
I have a problem with celebrity pols always have

[David Zephyr]

13. "CLEAR CHANNEL" Will Have Fabricate Another "Spontenous Boycott"

Just like the first one they fabricated at the CEO's direction for his old buddy, George Bush.

I'm sure the asshole is already phoning Michael Powell and Karl Rove about how to "handle" this.

[qb]

19. One minor problem -

How do you convince people that dissing an Austrian musclehead is unpatriotic?

[Aristus]

14. And my love for them continues to grow.

They are just wonderful! :D

[Blue_Chill]

17. My thoughts exactly

and think of all the CD's they just sold to liberals who otherwise wouldn't listen to that kind of music.

[fla nocount]

20. I like these girls, I want to support these girls, but

I just can't see myself listening to a country music chick band. Maybe I could just buy their CD and toss it. Maybe give it to someone at work.

They speak out and that's a good use of their position, they're to be commended. Anybody got a web address?

[Enraged_Ape]

21. I am a heavy metal dude, and I dig the Dixie Chicks. Try 'em.

They are more bluegrass than country, and they are worlds way from the Tobey Keiths and the Darryl Worleys of the world. That is, they can actually sing AND play their instruments (and a variety at that).

I bought two of their CDs right after the initial "ashamed Bush is from Texas" hubbub, and I wasn't disappointed. I listen to them all the time. They are just a refreshing change from all the heavily-marketed lipsynching fashion models that pass for "music" today.

And yeah, I stare at the CD covers. So what?

[Rainydaze]

23. Got to go with Enraged_Ape

They're a guilty pleasure.
Pretty good stuff really.
Now if they did a cover about Earl substituting bush. I'll buy all their records twice.

[VolcanoJen]

24. Yippee Skippy Hooray!!! I Heart the Chicks!!!

Thanx for posting this, ann_coulter_is_a_man!
