1. They would know all about bulk purchases, wouldn't they?
Since that is how so many of their idols have bestsellers.

Yea, I thought AAR folded sometime last year
Due to lack of interest.

9. So Freeps admit AAR has enough listeners to generate a #1 record?
I'll buy that- but I thought the RNC/media Meme was that no one listens & that the network would tank.

11. Heh there were more than a few "DUers" who claimed to be upset over
how the Chicks had dug their own grave over their political outspokenness.

Haven't seen them around the forum too much today.

16. Buying 4 copies is not "bulk"
An example of bulk buying is someone like Scaife buying cases of 100,000 books and giving them away for free.

30. It's ok . Seems like we're all (Including me) a little frustrated more
since the story about the Marines came out. I visited my Marine nephew at Camp Pendleton yesterday and they are all down about the story, as are the rest of us. I just keep repeating over and over in my head, "Not in my name".

17. Here is how it works
The sales are based off of what is distributed to sale outlets. It isn't how many CDs were to sold to each person.

The stores purchase what they believe they will need in stock based on what they think they can sell. There were over 500,000 units sold in one week to distributors. It could have been 250,000 units shipped on the first day and then 250,000 more that needed to be shipped on demand.

Freepers once again have no idea what they are talking about.

20. #1 on the country charts
http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/search/google/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1002610727

Dixie Chicks' 'Long Way' Nests In At No. 1

. . .
And while country radio has remained cool to the group in the wake of a 2003 boycott following comments group member Natalie Maines made about President Bush, "Taking the Long Way" also nabs the No. 1 spot on the Country Albums chart, bumping Rascal Flatts' "Me and My Gang" (Lyric Street/Hollywood) down to No. 2 after seven weeks at the top.

more

"Remained cool"???

As Alanis might note, "Isn't it ironic?" that a bunch of Dixie Chick death-threatening, CD-crushing assholes just can't stay away.

22. Well...
...I do listen to Air America when I can and I did buy the last two dixie chicks cds - never opened them and obviously never listened to them...I don't mind spending my money in support of my beliefs.

"they" may be right - but who cares?

24. I thought they claimed we are all aging hippies who can't hold down
jobs because of too much drug use in the 60s. No way we should be able to afford to buy CDs in bulk.

25. Stealing an election is okay...
allowing/causing a terrorist attack on US soil is okay...

OMFG THE DIXIE CHICKS ARE #1!!!! WE NEED A SENATE SUB-COMMITTEE TO INVESTIGATE THIS IMMEDIATELY!!!!!

The mind of a freeper is a dark and perverted place.

They are scared their message will spread like wild fire. Everything these backward devil worshipping slimeballs do is focused on stopping us from doing the same. Let's make their lives a living hell... ooops too late..

32. It is the mainstream tired of the status quo...
pushing up their sales. People like the posters in this thread who bought the CD and never listened to it. It's not just DUers folk. Real People agree with the Chicks, hate the hypocrisy and support the cause. And some even like the music! Win Win Win

Up Yours Freeps and NeoCons!

37. not you. sorry.
but generally I see that links to 'freeper world' are allowed here. but other sites that are not near as hateful, but maybe more questioning without expletives or the things you see on freerepublic, are....

I just wonder. something doesnt make sense to me.
bring flowers to my tombstone, please.

39. we should really get over that, we should.
why 'freepers' have such a hold on DU is beyond me.
links to free republic should be banned, imho, like so many other sites that aren't even Near as destructive are.

bring flowers to my tombstone,please.
