NM = no more.
You say you're embarrassed GBW is from Texas? Well, we're embarrassed you're from America.

Never liked Lipton all that much anyway.

It's dang sure I ain't drinking anymore tea from a bidness what sponsors Hate Speech, anti-Americanism, and inspires terrorists to come after our citizens.

Which is what the Dixie Chicks encouraged. They don't get it, but that's what happens when terrorists read Americans 'dissing their President in a time of war with those same terrorists. Al-Queda imagine "Hey, we're on the right track! See! Even American recording artists support us killing their nation!"

Lipton? You getting the point? The Blix Chix encouraged Al-Queda and Hamas and the PLF to spike Lipton Teas around the world with poisons. Just by foolishly opening their tater traps and being stupid.

Lipton? Remmember the hell Tylenol went through?

It's War out there, Lipton.

Whose side you on?

Right on, shilohsharps.

Lipton Tea is owned by international conglomerate Unilever, a British Company.

You can contact them and tell them that you ain't gonna' drink their stinkin' tea anymore at:

http://www.unilever.com/company/contactus/

Like the ego driven movie stars, big companies don't like to think that there is a ground swell of people who don't like them, and ergo aren't going to give them money.

It's sad that these very successful and privileged people( Hollywood Actors, Musicians )haven't got a clue as to why this country is Great and why they have their freedom. Many brave people have died for their freedom, and will die for it. But they won't.

Dixie Chix official web site public bulletin board is "undergoing updates" and isn't open. Hmmm....coincidence??? Natalie Maines has apologized on her site for being "disrespectful" to our President. Their response on their website to the uproar regarding that ridiculous statement NM made was totally "milque-toast".

I'd have to say that the Dixie Chick's comments fall into the category of "things that get said and can never be taken back". Now the whole world knows how they feel, and there is nothing that they can say to change my feelings about them. Certainly not that lame excuse for an apology. Such a shame too, they had such promise. Oh well, I made it this long without them, guess I can do without them again...

Such a shame too, they had such promise. Oh well, I made it this long without them, guess I can do without them again...

The following was copied from dixie chicks web site, and is a quote from NM:
"I feel the President is ignoring the opinions of many in the U.S. and alienating the rest of the world. My comments were made in frustration and one of the privileges of being an American is you are free to voice your own point of view."
My responce to her is, in the words of Dan Ackeroyd, on Saturday Night Live, "Jane (Natalie), you ignorant slut!", first of all, you ABSOLUTELY have the right to say ANYTHING you want in this Country, BUT, EVERYONE else has the right to say what we want about you, and have the choice to stop buying your CD's, and boycott anyone who sponsors you! Someone once said, "Better to be thought a fool, than to open your mouth, and remove all doubt!"

Mark Twain was credited with that one and it's something I've been reminded of throughout my life.:)

Poor silly girls. Must be dimocrats. My new favorite word.

What I forgot to say in my previous post was, this was NM's, ignorant idea of an apology! What a loser, I hope protester's show up at every stop on the tour! BTW, they are in Austin, TX on 5/21/03. That should be good!

The ditzy chicks will be back working at the truck stop on I-10 back in the Republic of Texas. I am sure the C&W; fans were just thrilled to hear those comments made over seas. Guess that is what happens when you get out of touch with your fans and reality. What these stars have yet to figure out is that in a capitalistic system, one must continue to market themselves. They can little afford bad PR that offends their customer base. The customer will just seek to have their needs met from someone they don't find offensive.

wHY DIDN'T THE CHICKS just go on Saturday Night Live and TEAR up a picture of the President .....
Yea like the way of Sinaid O'Connor with her issue. Look where it got her .

Natelie made a stupid comment, placating a sympathetic audience. Her comments were nowhere near as vile as Chrissie Hynde's. Chrissie bellowed a purile tantrum that ended with "I hope the muslims win!"

Like so many "entertainers," the Dixie Chicks forget what our Country is based upon and that they're "where they are" due to the FREEDOMS in the USA. To use their position to denounce our President when they could be doing so much good is inconceivible to me!! What ignorance!!! I don't think that I'll bother with supporting them anymore!! They don't deserve any Patriotic American's support......if Marty and Emily don't agree with Natalie, I hope that they have the sense to make their positions clear!! From what I've seen of Natalie in the past, she often gets her mouth going before her brain's in gear....Maybe they should just forget about returning "home."

The Chicks are attempting to make more money by bashing America while overseas. Any song they sing mentioning our troops is obviously a disingenuous way to make more money. This is reprehensible. They can make plenty of money without aiding our enemies cause.

Support our troops, dump the Chicks.

Natalie, Two things here:

1- Diet
2- Shut Up

I believe Lipton is affiliated with Pepsi in some way, so ya may want to let them know how you feel as well.

Does anyone know where a video of the comments can be seen, all I've seen are quotes, a video of it would be much more damaging, I'm sure she was laughing while she said it.

How idiotic do they have to be to not know their own country music audience here in America? This would be like Bob Dylan singing Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue (the Angry American) at one of his concerts. Good idea to endear yourself to one London audience and piss off your whole American audience. They are very lucky their concert tickets went on sale before these comments.

I forgot, the contact at Lipton for their concert is:

david.dececco@pepsi.com

... "They can little afford bad PR that offends their customer base. The customer will just seek to have their needs met from someone they don't find offensive."

I guess Your dixie chicks need swith off their brains and have stereotyped opinions to make you buy their music (like Britney spears).

You could Send me those dixie chicks in exile in France. I like cute girls of all opinions;)

Besides being in trouble with patriotic country fans, the Dixie Chicks are also being blasted by the NAACP for using the word Dixie in their name. The Reverand Jackson said "Their name is racist on it's face. They might as well sing "I wish I was in Dixie" at their concerts."

The group is also being hammered by the National Organization of Women for using the word Chicks in their name. A spokesman errr spokesperson for NOW said "For a band with such liberal views you would think they would be alot more politically correct when thinking up their name."

But seriously, here's a quote from an interview in 2001, this is a real quote from the Dixie Chicks.

CHARLIE COOK: The Chicks were the only country act to make Entertainment Weekly's power list for 2000. Emily Robison wonders just who they have the power over since they can't even boss around their dog. The girls did have enough clout to get a meeting with President Clinton last year and Natalie Maines will remember that day for a long time.

NATALIE: It was his birthday. He was opening up all of his presents and Chelsea was there with her friends and he was just like a proud dad showing off in front of her friends. And he's so intelligent and so is she. Every single subject, it doesn't matter what you'd talk about or he'd open a gift and he'd have a story behind it, why he collects this, why someone gave him this and just had something intelligent to say about everything. I really got a sense that he was a true public servant and he wants to continue his public service duties after the presidency.

Natalie,

Your Hero is continuing his public service. It's called Pimping.

Popularity in the entertainment business is measured by the size of one's nightly audience and the end's to which fans go to attend an event and popularity is a rough measure of quality.

You would think that the Dixie Chickens would look at the long line waiting to get into the USA and look at the number of gate-crashers and figure out that this must be pretty good place to live.

But they don't use their brains. They checked those at the door of the entertainment business.

re: NM's apology/explanation... 'there was a lot of anti-American sentiment where we've been traveling....'

So, what then, Natalie - you CAVE? Where's your backbone? You pander to people who bash your country while at the same time digging in our pockets and begging for our protection?? What kind of American are you? Did it ever occur to you to use your microphone to tell the public that Saddam needs to stop gouging out the eyes of
little children???
Save your anti-Bush rhetoric for the 2004 campaign.
Don't use this current crisis as a platform for a clearly anti-Bush agenda.
What the HELL makes you and other anti-Bush celebrities spouting off think you KNOW what President Bush knows? Do you attend his daily intelligence briefings?
If you and your celebrity bretheren were to convince President Bush not to take care of business, and you are WRONG, the result will(not would, WILL) be catastrophic. Are you prepared to live with the consequences? If Bush is wrong, and we have invaded Iraq, we have then gotten rid of a documented butcher.
Is your son any less worthy of keeping his eyes than an Iraqi woman's baby boy? Is an Iraqi woman any less worthy of protection against rape than you? I'll bet YOUR son gets the finest nutrition and medical care available. Do you wish for less for these poor Iraqis?
It's a win-win when we liberate Iraq.
You are now Saddam's New Best Friend.

SO let me get this straight,

Blame the Defender... Support The Offenders ??
Hold on ...???
Blame the defender.. Not the Offender ?
Wait.. ??? What did she say ??
Blame the defender
Huh ?? Dont blame the Offender..
Protest the Defender
Dont protest the offender no..that is not right ...wait blame the defender protest the .....

VA has responded to teh 'D.C.' renaming by renaming their initials to (this took me a while)
Venomously Angry

And added a ADC, standing for 'At the Dixie Chicks'

Let me understand this. The Dizzie Chicks, who by the way I was always a big fan of (until now), go to London to hold a news conference on the war? Oh no, they were holding a concert where people paid hundreds of dollars to listen to their political views? Oh no, I get it, they were there to hear the Dizzie Chicks play there music. But the Dizzie Chicks decided to turn it into a political event. Isn't that a breach of contract between the ticket purchaser and the performer? Someone should sue.

The Dizzie Chicks have a big problem, you see most (at least 85%) of country music fans are conservatives. Liberals think country music is beneath them as they are much more hip and listen to rap and "soft rock". Where are they gonna get their future fans from? guess they had better invest that revenue from the upcoming tour. It would be a shame to see people NOT go to the concert. Had I bought a ticket I would sacrifice the hundred or so dollars, cut it up, and mail to their sponsors.

My son, just a week before he died, bought their newest CD. I was planning on getting one too, but now have his. I listen to it to bring me closer to him. He was a C-130 Pilot in the Air Force, 24 years old. He died on December 8, 2002 and was buried with full military honors at Arlington National Cemetery. He would be apalled and disgusted at the comments made by the Dizze Chicks. (we even went to a Chicks cincert in DC together)Sure they have the freedom of speech, but we have the freedom of listen, the freedom of purchase, the freedom of financial support, as well as the freedom of speech. We have a full house versus their high card. Who wins?

God Bless the USA. God Bless our men and women in the armed forces, God Bless and guide the President of the United States, now and in the future, and most importantly God Keep and Protect my son, Christopher Ian Stoddard, May 29, 1978 (Memorial Day) - December 8, 2002.

The lead singer of the Dixie Twits didn't have the courage to bash the USA and the president at home at a concert in Nashville or Fort Worth because she knew they would be booed off the stage. I used to like their music and was going to buy one of their CDs. That was yesterday.

Blixe Chiqs ...

It's not about oil any more.. it's about slime.
Need anyone say more?

It is unimaginable that Natalie Maines made comments about the President of the United States on foreign soil when we are on the brink of war. She says she "supports" our troops?? Well who does she think is the Commander and Chief??? I am "ASHAMED" that she is from the United States. It is because of the United States Government that she is able to make those comments. Yes we have freedom of speech but what about some brain cells???? These type of comments do not help our troops who are overseas probably listening to their music. If you are against policy be specific and state what you disagree with, but to just try and bash the President that is uncalled for and unacceptable. I used to like the Dixie Chicks. I hope people "support" their concerts as well and DON"T go to them.

did someone say they were from Texas???? are you sure??? Texas people are known for loyalty etc.
okay I get it....they are from California...you were just leading me on

Notice that that the Dix Chix are the first music stars to protest the war who are not has-beens .(vs say Johnny Kruger Melloncramp, who was famous back in the '80's, for you young folks) But now, having joined the has-beens they too can enjoy the kind of record sales and casino appearences that keep those folks going long past their prime. You go girls! See you in the sales bin! (Under their new PC name "Southern Women"

Heard a new group name for the young ladies in question.

It's what you get from eating too many grits down south or drinking too much of the local New Orleans brew, which is Dixie beer. mmmmmmmmmmm... beer.

That's right America. From now on I refer to them as
The Dixie %#&*s.

It even kind of rhymes with their original name, don't you think?

I am from Texas and I am ashamed that the DC are too. NM does not know that the freedom that she enjoys for herself and her child comes with a great and terrible price! Taking out SH will also give others to enjoy the same freedoms that this country has!
I love what Sean Hannity has done with his cd of theirs on the radio!

Hey, Darth Chef:

"..the freedom of listen, the freedom of purchase, the freedom of financial support, as well as the freedom of speech."

..i LIKE that...

It almost sounds like the American consumer has some POWER!

I sent an e-mail to MCI stating that Danny Glover's anti-war reteric and Bush bashing did NOT make me want to switch to MCI. They wrote me back and said, (in a few different words), TOUGH, Mr Glover's political views are his own, and we will continue to use him.
http://www.mci.com/customer_service/ContactUs.jsp
This is the e-mail page, if you want to try to get another answer than I did. It's fairly clear that they don't think people are smart enough to see, that they, (MCI) feels the same way Glover does!

The comments the Dixie Chicks made about President Bush were very disrespectful. After hearing of their comments, I have chosen to listen to other country music artists. I will not buy any more of their CDS. They voiced their opinion and exercised their freedom of speech. I heard them loud and clear. Now, I am exercising my right to turn them off. I can live without the Dixie Chicks. I bet there is a fresh, new country music group just waiting to take their place on the charts. ....So long Dixie Chicks.....

Die for oil, suckers!

Just say no Jimmy.

You gonna eat that donut?

I'm confused, James. Who are these Oil Suckers you want to die for?

I sent MCI, my ong distance carrier an email as well, indicating my dissatisfaction with their spokesperson. here is their response.

Thank you for contacting MCI Æ e-Customer Service.

We value your opinion. Mr. Glover's personal views are his own. As
has always been our policy, MCI does not comment or take positions on
social and/or socio-political issues and views.

MCI does proudly contribute to a variety of local, state and national
charities which help build and strengthen communities. More
specifically, the MCI WorldCom Foundation focuses on proactively
supporting a core of education and technology initiatives by forming
partnerships with selected non-profit organizations around the
country.

Again, thank you for communicating with MCI.

Sounds like Lipton has a new type of tea and I call it

"B.U.L.L.S.H.I. tea

C'mon, isn't the t-shirt obvious:

"Just so you know, we're ashamed that Natalie Maines is from the United States of America"

or

"Just so you know, we're ashamed the lead singer of the Dixie Chicks is from Texas"

Where are the Sore Loserman guys? I'll take two, size L.

Maines is right. I'm ashamed of GW too.

Go read about why this war is murderous, unnessecary and just plain dumb:

www.moveon.org

All I saw on your little site was more of the same Anti-War propaganda.....Nothing new. You have anything that might change my mind? Highly doubtful. You just go ahead and stick with the celebrities, they need your money to make them rich and you poor.

Dusty.

To Sharif Corinaldi, Let me get this straight, you have a web site, but can't afford spell check? You can't spell, but the War is dumb, and not YOU? Go to Sgt Vincent Carter's web site, www.moveit,moveit,moveit.org

Anybody want to buy some dixie chix concert tickets. We don't want them anymore! package deal, cd's too! I would say I am "embarrassed" to have them.

sorry guys, you really need to read a little more and learn about the way the world works. Here. I'll try to educate you a little:

Check out the two below sites.

War: Myth & Reality

http://www.nonviolence.org/vitw/pages/myth_reality_war.html

http://www.lossless-audio.com/usa/

(Especially check out Article #5 : "The US has a deplorable record of foreign intervention over the past 50 years." )

While some of the comments on this board are funny; none of them make a good case for invading Iraq. I am an American, and a patriot, and I believe that this war is unfair, and unjust.

Some things:

The reasons the Bush Administration gives for wanting to invade Iraq are not genuine.

I quote:

* Eliminating Weapons of Mass Destruction?

"Anyone who takes the trouble to examine the global WMD proliferation threat closely and to gauge the relative likelihood of various WMD scenarios would have to conclude that the greatest threat of WMD usage against the United
States at the present time comes from North Korea and Pakistan, not Iraq."

Yes they have the right to say what they want, however I have the right not to buy squat or have anything more to do with the Dixie Chumps. Hit them in the pocketbook. I have heard many people say that it is not right to "blacklist" artists who speak their mind. However if they weren't an artist, hardly anyone would have heard the statement she made in the first place.

I really enjoyed the article about the Palestine sympathiser/human shield! The only shame is, that people are so ignorant, little Corrie may have gotten her way too much from Mommy and Daddy, when she stomped her little feet, so I guess they are to blame. Isn't that the Democrat/Liberal philosophy? That it's not YOUR fault, someone/something else is to blame for ALL of life's problems? Any other idiots that plan what little Corrie did, save the trip, just go to your local railroad tracks, and sit down!

Glad to see so many people standing up for our President. We don't have to always agree with him but he is our President in the greatest Country in the world to live in. So many forget about the thousands of women and childen in his own country he wiped out. What if GWB did this to us! Would you still feel the same! GET A CLUE!

Does anyone know all the products these women endorse? I am sending a letter out to any company who does informing them that our family will no longer be purchasing their products. Thanks.

Hey Sharif,
It's time to go home

Wanted: Immediate openings for NEW weapons inspectors/Human shields for Iraq. Requirements: Courage of your convictions! No French need apply! We want Sharif Corinaldi! Unless, like we suspect, he is just another talking head of the left wing/liberal fanatics who worship at the altar of the SCUM, CLINTONS/CRIMINALS!

Sharif,

Moveon.com is a site that was created by very liberal celebrities and politicians during the lewinsky scandel of your hero bill clinton. The site only exists to bash republicans. using that site as a source shows your true colors-yellow. try finding an objective site about a potential war that isn't a puppet site of the anti-=republican crowd. Why do the anti-war protestors protest Bush and not the war?? Where were they when Clinton was bombing innocent women and children??

i wonder in a year how many of us will be pissed at these women? ... besides me.

To all (particularly Darth Chef / Hillary )

It seems that none of you are capable of making a coherent , logical case FOR the war in iraq.

Although you're all very angry--at the world apparently-- None of you seem to actually _know_ anything about U.S foriegn policy.

No wonder we in the U.S are so alienated in the world community, our citizens can't engage in a simple debate without resorting to name-calling.

Please address the point's i've made above, which I'll retype here:

#1: I support our troops. But I DO NOT support this war.

#2: War in Iraq is stupid. It doesn't make sense financially, or to fight terrorism.

Please address the FACTS I've cited above, people.

TO DARTH,

Addressing your "points":

>try finding an objective site about a potential
>war that isn't a puppet site of the anti-
>=republican crowd.

--- Foriegn Policy in Focus is a nonpartisan think tank that specializes in foriegn policy studies:

Hey...I didn't buy Dixie Twit tickets (thank goodness) but I have an idea for anyone who is regretting the purchase.
Sell the tickets on ebay to some dopey liberals then donate money to a worthy conservative cause.

I will never listen to another Dixie Chick song again. I am sick of rich performers who think they can use their stage for a platform, especialy in a foreign country. I live in Texas and I can tell you everyone I know is sick of them and sick of all the rest of the "elite" actors who think we care about their opinions! We all have opinions, we just don't have a stage to stand up on and make a fool of ourselves. My son is in the Air Force and he listens to all the D.Chick c.d.'s. No more for him either. It makes him mad that he is risking his life for those people who have no respect for our President and his boss. Shame on you. You'll never get another dime of our money.

Hi Sharif

1. No one is for war. That is a liberal misunderstanding. Probably why so many run out to parade. By doing so, they ensure the inevitability of war that could have been avoided by a world united against a maniac. They have blood on their hands - this war could have been avoided.

2. I can't speak for "everyone", would not presume to, but personally I'm not angry. Later on if these protesters have gotten any friends of mine killed in this upcomming war of theirs I might be angry.
By the way are you sure no one on this site knows anything about foreign policy? Have you discussed this with everyone?

You will find most name calling on this site comes from liberals. This is true on all issues. It is what they resort to when their arguments are defeated. Note that your specious claim - "None of you seem to actually _know_ anything about U.S foriegn policy." equates to "all of you are ignorant...etc" which is close to name calling. Please keep it civil.

And since you said "please" I will address your statements above. "Points" in my opinion is the incorrect term.

#1: I support our troops. But I DO NOT support this war.

Glad to see that issue clarified. I'm tired of all the people who support the war but DO NOT support the troops. Thank you for not being part of that crowd.

#2: War in Iraq is stupid. It doesn't make sense financially, or to fight terrorism.

What price point would you buy in? You imply that there is some financial consideration that could be met whereby you could switch over and support a war. Give a dollar figure. Or Euros if you prefer.
To fight terrorism...are you saying it doesn't make sense to fight terrorism???

Wait a minute here...exactly how do you support the troops, sister?

Your next step is to change subjects, or claim some logic was present in your statements above but that I ignored it.

Love ya anyway!

The "veteran" cia agents mentioned in the NY times article retired from the CIA over 12 years ago and have no access to current intelligence information. But I find it amazing that a liberal is quoting CIA sources, because historically the CIA has been evil to liberals. I actually shouldn't be surprised becasue liberals, one of the worlds oldtes professions, will do anyone for the right money. Whcih brings me nicely to one of your other points, the war does not make sense financially. Either did WWI, WWII, The US Civil War, or for that matter any war. Of course, abortion and welfare don't make sense financially but that doesn't stop you liberals from supporting them. Yoru other point - war is stupid. Is there some sort of test to give war that it can pass or fail-how can you classify it, a thing, as "stupid". Oh, you mean the idea of war is stupid-I agree and take you back to the Stupid wars of the past. the american revolution was stupid in the same sense. We shouldn't have had to fight the british who would've taken weeks by boat to get to the colonies. that was stupid, they should have just let us run our own country. We shouldn't have had to fight the Japanese after they attacked Pearl harbor, I mean gosh, those ships and people were already dead and destroyed, a war wasn't going to bring them back. We shouldn't have fought Hitler, he wasn't killing any of our jews, gays, black, liberals, they were his and he could do what he wanted with them.

By the way, what "facts" did you cite-I still don't see any facts. As to knowing anything about foreign policy-what are you talking about-tell me how enlightened you are. Again, a man coming to a war of wits without any ammunition.

Give me facts, not rhetoric, not liberal media statements, but actual facts. for example, how many UVAs does Saddam have? What happened to his VX gas. the entire UN agrees he has it, they aren't and haven't disgreed with any of the positions on the subjject of Saddam's lying or hiding WMD. the only issue at the UN is how to deal with it.

I hope this answers your "stupid" facts

Some of the comments along the right frame of the webiste below just blows me away - Halfwit doesn't even come close to describing them.

http://www.hollywoodhalfwits.com/

And Sharif, on your other post to Darth (Sorry Darth, but I can't let this slide)

Your foriegn policy think tank site is a partisan left wing group. Please look at the "Press Release" section for an uninterrupted series of Bush-Bashes.

You may be farther left, therefore to you they may seem centrist - (communists would call Clinton centrist, for instance - not saying you are comunist)

And your source for the other article is not the CIA, its the NY Times. That should fool no one here. Unarguably America's premier left-wing journal!

Still love ya

By the way Sharif, FPIF is considered to be a "lberal think tank" although not a member of any political party, thereby making them "nonpartisan"

greyhawk you get two electronic high fives.

Darth! Fancy meeting you here! Having fun yet?

Back 'atcha, Big Dog!!

Darh, did not know you were on here live or I'd have let you have 'em to yourself.

got to do something while waiting for the war to start, then my job goes into overdrive.

Can't way to see how many of these liberals, celebrities, and foreign governments come running to sniff our butts when the war last two hours, no civilians are killed (by allied hands) and we show the world all of the WMD that Saddam has hidden. If he uses chemicals at the outset of the war then those that think he was cooperating will see the truth and all the losers on this site will no longer be able to argue he doesn't have them cause he says so.

Hang in there greyhawk. Fighting these dim bulbs with their own arguments is fun.

we outnumber them, just like our military outnumbers the Iraqis

What I don't understand from fools like her is this: The ALL state that many americans are against this war and many are, but what they fail to see is that 71% are in support of military action. Last time I looked that was a majority and that 3 out of 10 wasn't considered "many"....It wont matter in 48 hours anyway.

It has always been the case that people who have a weak argument use the "they" principle. They say that... Or try to bolster their own weak argument with the fictitious support of others.
By the way, haven't seen frenchman around, guess he went to iraq to get all the made in france parts out.

Dixie nit-wits....

If they lived in Iraq, you could bet they wouldn't be able to say what they said. Instead of loosing album sales, they would loose their livelyhood. I say we all pitch in and buy them burqa's for their next concert tour.

Feel free to disagree, it's your right as a citizen.

I personally don't want to see a war. There is a sound reason for what the president is doing, and I support his approach.

The basic theory as I see it, we can sit and wait for the next attack from some fanatical group and then blabber on about how we didn't stop it from happening. That's what occured with 9/11...and earlier....

or...

We can take the battle to them. One by one, we go after them...where ever they are, we go after them.

Either way, people are going to die. Who do you want dead, your family or their family.

It's a dog eat dog world, like it or not, no matter how hard you want it to be a "nice peaceful civilization", it's not. There are thousands and thousands of people out there with nothing better to do than kill other people for their own beliefs. When they want to kill me, I'm going to kill them. The alternative is not acceptable. George Bush, like him or not is doing his sworn duty. If killing 50,000 Iraqi's keeps 50,000 Americans alive, go for it.

You hear all this "liberal" drivel about how we need to re-evaluate our approach to the middle east because we're our own worst enemy or we're contributing to the negative feelings that the world has about the US. Tough titties... I don't see the world adjusting their approach cause they are all that damned concerned about the feelings of Americans. These fanatics are going to kill anybody they can. They reason they're wanting to kill american's now is the same reason they've been killing everyone else in the past. They like to kill! They pick the easiest targets and go after them, they spout their ideological drivel as justification and look for support where they can find it among the other killers. I say, if they want death, we'll help them find it. If they want to kill us, lets see who can kill more of one another. End result, sooner or later they'll change their targets to something a little easier. End result, fewer Americans will die in the long run.

The Dixie-Chicks and all the other "Entertainment Worlders" can voice their opinion, and make their money, they aren't in tune with reality. Their worried about their pocket book, their sex lives and what they can milk for free. Anything that interferes with their bohemian lifestyle is fair game in their opinion. All this Celebrity crap is worthless. The last time I looked, they were called "Entertainers". I don't find this entertaining. I most certainly am not the least bit interested in your well conceived thoughts of peace, formulated in the back of the tour buss after a good screw with the drummer.

Frenchie is on the upper posts. Along with a very strange guy from Mexico, I believe. My job gets very busy very soon too Darth.

Frenchie is stale though, running the same arguments. His "friend" has limited comand of English and is quite beligerent. Your new finds were excellent. Hope we didn't scare them off.

Sharif,

You think war is meaningless? I guess we never should have bothered saving the Jews from Hitler.

Same thing now, ask any Kurd and they'll tell you how horrible SH is.

Too bad you weren't in the Twin Towers on 9/11.

You need to go somewhere where you can be alone with your thoughts....like a [Dixie Chicks] concert. You won't be able to hear the pig vomit music over the crickets.

"By the way, haven't seen frenchman around, guess he went to Iraq..." Gee Darth are you sure this new Sharif isn't just the F-man under an alias?
Consider this quote from above -
"Sorry guys, you really need to read a little more and learn about the way the world works. Here. I'll try to educate you a little:"
Now who does that sound like? Go here, read this, study something else, I'll educate you... Do they stamp these liberal idiots out of a mold somewhere, or what?

Check out the two below sites.

Sharif don't like it...
Rock the casbah
Rock the casbah

Hey Sharif, you said that 'I support our troops'...

Since when is Saudi Arabia joining us in the war?

Get back in line, son, or we'll send Ashcroft to tap your phone lines....

I don't want to hear anything from anybody named 'Sharif' or 'Mohammed' -- except to say that they're going back home.

Go home. Typical Muslim. Doesn't want us involved in the mid-east, but COMES HERE to go to school.

You can't have it both ways. He's probably rooming with Frenchie-poo.

It is unfortunate Ms. Maines fails to realize that President Bush is fighting for her to retain her right to free speech; perhaps the Dixie Chicks could entertain the Iraqi troops and thereby glean a bit of Hussein's opporessive, horrific acts against Iraqi citizens, particularly its women. Our military need our support, not insults to our President.

goto the website of your local radio station (if you like country music, or maybe even pop) - more than likely they'll have a poll on whether or not to continue to play Dixie Chicks. Personally, I vote no.

Here's what then President Clinton said about the Balkan crisis...... He NEVER went to the UN over this. He used NATO. So IN YOUR FACE, BUSH HATERS. YOUR ARGUMENTS ARE PATENTLY BULLSH**, AND WHAT'S MORE - WE ALL KNOW IT.

Our mission is clear," Mr. Clinton said in March, 1999: "to demonstrate the seriousness of NATO's purpose, so that the Serbian leaders understand the imperative of reversing course, to deter an even bloodier offensive against innocent civilians in Kosovo, and if necessary, to seriously damage the Serbian military's capacity to harm the people of Kosovo. In short, if President Milosevic will not make peace, we will limit his ability to make war."

Natalie should be ashamed. did she not learn as a child that you dont go and air the dirty laundry in the streets. It is bad enough what she said but where she said it. And Natalie honey timing is everything.

Darth, All,

Put the pressure on MCI to get rid of Danny Glover. I think they are getting nervous. If everybody puts the pressure on them, they might do it.

I sent an email to MCI about Danny Glover and got the same lame response, but I replied to it and let them know that I was insulted by the flowery load of hot smoke that they sent as a reply and that we mean business. I told them that I will be calling everyone I know to tell them not to use MCI because they have a Commie anti-American Bas#ard for a spokesman. And I told them where they can put those little yellow and green balls. I told them to enjoy the boycott and bankruptcy procedings and that it would be too bad when they get laid off.

I got a little different response from that one...

Dear Horace Payne,

Thank you for contacting MCI Æ e-Customer Service.

We take all feedback and perspectives under careful consideration and
respect the feelings and viewpoints you have shared with us about our
new spokesperson, Danny Glover.

Mr. Glover's personal political views were not known by us when he was
hired for this work. In fact, at the time we first contacted him, he
had recently received the Marian Anderson Award which honors artists
whose leadership benefits humanity.

Our consumer research indicates overwhelming support for Mr. Glover
with extremely high appeal ratings. However, we do continually
monitor consumer opinions on all of our advertising campaigns and
factor new developments into our business decisions.

We sincerely regret the offense you feel with respect to our
advertising with Danny Glover.

Your feedback is very important to MCI as we are dedicated
to providing you with the absolute best products and services
available. Should you have any additional questions or comments,

Sincerely,

Jean
e-Customer Service

If we keep it up, we'll have them on the ropes. I'd love nothing more than to see MCI sue Danny Glover for any payments they made to him for these commercials because he made statements that offended their customers.

Well, I thought they were cuter than bugs and were doing something to help bluegrass. I'll just have to stick to Ricky Skaggs and Bill Monroe... cause the "Chicks" are in the trash.

This is the answer I got from MCI. I don't think they will do anything!

Thank you for contacting MCI Æ e-Customer Service.

We sincerely value your opinion about our new spokesperson.

Just like any other citizen, Mr. Glover is entitled to express his own
personal views and opinions. But please understand, Mr. Glover's
personal views are his own and do not represent the views of MCI.
As has always been our policy, MCI does not comment or take positions
on social and/or socio-political issues and views.

MCI does proudly contribute to a variety of local, state and national
charities which help build and strengthen communities. More
specifically, the MCI WorldCom Foundation focuses on proactively
supporting a core of education and technology initiatives by forming
partnerships with selected non-profit organizations around the
country.

Again, thank you for communicating with MCI.

At MCI, we pride ourselves on delivering calling convenience,
quality service, and low rates. If you have additional questions

Dear Sweet Sharif: YOU wrote;

Please address the point's i've made above, which I'll retype here:

#1: I support our troops. But I DO NOT support this war.

MY interpretation of #1 by Sharif--"Like ALL Bush haters, I will say ANYTHING, to mask the fact that everything I say is about, MY HATING BUSH!!!"

#2: War in Iraq is stupid. It doesn't make sense financially, or to fight terrorism.

My interpretation of #2 by Sharif--"See #1 above!"

Please address the FACTS I've cited above, people.

I did my best Sharif, Now for a prediction, after OUR Troops liberate Iraq, and we decide to concentrate on North Korea, will YOU and the other Libs, (who said we should be concentrating on North Korea first), say, "I support our troops, but I DO NOT support this war!"

Posted by: Sharif Corinaldi on March 17, 2003 12:30 PM

There's nothing worse than a two faced national! Saying what they want to hear, wherever they are and then singing about "home". My husband will fight the war and for what his commander in chief stands for so that she can have the freedom to say what she wants. What makes it worse is she makes millions of dollars marketing being an American. Shame on her.

Sharif Corinaldi: Sir, " War is stupid" is not a fact. If you want that we who have some grounding in History, Philosophy, and Anthropology might address "the facts", please present some. With all we have seen of tyrants and genocidal behavior within brutal dictatorships this last century or so, it beggars the imagination that anyone who thinks could boldly announce that the coming war is not justifiable. Your argument, and I dignify your position by calling it an argument, is quite flawed. I'd debunk it, but where would I begin? Strongly held opinions are not facts, nor are they even defensible when their foundation is a spent ideology that glorifies self destruction through inactivity. Ever vigilant, ever prepared, ever safe.

First of all, I'm ashamed that these Chicks would try to re-make a Stevie Nicks song that was done so beautiful by her.
Secondly, how does Natalie call herself an American? why doesn't she go live in another country and see she feels then.
Thirdly, to Natalie & SHARIF do you not realize how many innocent people are killed in Iraq & in Israel because of this so-called "leader" in Iraq! All the innocent people in Iraq killed by their own leader! Women & children RAPED by his militants. Israel is bombed all the time, why? Because Israel is the city of God?
OUR People, INNOCENT People were killed on September 11th by these sheet wearing, cave living, beasts!
I think you (Natalie & Sharif) would have a different oppinion if you lost someone on Sept. 11th. You should read more about what goes on in this world.
SHARIF since you're so good with talking about websites, have you visited www.bbc.com and hear the TRUE stories of IRAQI citizens who have been tortured or raped???
GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT!!

dear greyhawk: i have a major crush on your brain.

Shame, Shame, Shame....WHy don't you perform your next concert in Iraq!

Hope somebody soon posts details concerning the first demonstration at a Dixie Chicks concert. I need to get my plane tickets so I CAN PROTEST. There should be thousands there to show our freedom of speech is just as much a right as their freedom of speech. Maybe these multimillionaire Chicks can provide entertainment for the female (Chicks)loving Taliban in nearby Afghanistan.

I'm very ashamed this trash is from the United States. Hopefully the other 2 members will state their position about what was said by one member of the group. If the other are not with Maines, let them state it. BTW, check their site to see their first response, versus the response after the heat was applied.

In a related story; French diplomats say that if the UN did actually have any power, they would hold a vote on wether or not the US could go forward with the impending attack on Iraq. Chirac said that if there were any possibility for such a vote, and the outcome would be in favor of a US led attack on Iraq, the French would again veto. He said that France would like to have the option to veto even if there is no such vote. US officials speaking on the condition of anonimoty say that they will go ahead and let France hold a veto on an imaginary vote that will be held on March 32 2003.

Natalie Maines of the "Dixie Chicks" also commented on the matter and said: "Just so you know, we fully stand behind our new President Jaques Chirac and our new homeland France in their decision to veto our former President with whom we are ashamed to be from the same state as but have apologized to Americans for being ashamed in a last ditch attempt at not being blacklisted from radio stations no more."

dixie chicks.are WHORES.. i am from texas and i am ashamed they chose the world stage to voice there view on our president.which i believe he is doing what he has to do.and what we as americans should do.i dont like war.but i know that it comes and i will stand up for my country and support what it stands for FREEDOM.I THINK MOST PEOPLE FORGET THIS COUNTRY WAS FOUNDED BY WAR .SO WE COULD ENJOY THE FREEDOM IT BRINGS ..AND ALL THE FRUIT IT BEARS.BUT IT COMES AT A PRICE STILL .......FREEDOM IS NOT FREE.AS THE FRENCH AND GERMANYS HAVE FORGOTTEN...........THO,WHENEVER THERE IS SOME THING WRONG IN THIS WORLD.. WHO WILL THEY CALL TO FIX IT ...........they will call the greatest country in the world .."THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA"//////////////////

You know the dixie chicks, (they dont deserve DIXIE title) What they did was like going to your familys arch rivals and doging one of your own family members. Trailer park trash chicks is what they should call theirselves now. I liked their music before but now I dont want to hear it at all. I took out my cds that I burned with their music on it and threw them away. I have not heard their music on the radio at all lately and if I did I would change the station. I guess the trailer park chicks now know how Trent Lott feels . No matter how many times you say your sorry it wont take back that remark.

After reading all the comments,it's nice to see that everybody thinks the Dicksy Twits REALLY screwed up.....Maybe they can give up all their money and freedom and move to Iraq....at least they'd be welcomed there.......My hope is that when they tour the states...NOBODY shows up...that would be AWESOME!!!!

I think that all those stupid actors and singers that are trying to force their veiws on us because of their so called fame have forgotten what happend in New York and the world trade center. I bet if they had flown those planes to California - Hollywood and killed a few thousand of their friends and family then they might just have a different point of view. REMEMBER

Where to begin.... Dixie _______ (you pick) definitely banned,trashed,puked up, etc. I agree they shouldn't come home from their foreign tour. Worse yet what a lame apology from NM. Waaaa! You shouldn't criticize me for criticizing my country's leader on foreign soil in the middle of a crisis. Enough,they are really not worthy of more time.
Could someone post all of the Hollywood ungratefuls that are bashing Bush and most Americans so I can be sure to divert my hard earned dollars out of their grubby little hands.
God bless our president, soldiers, and citizens.

ps
Greyhawk I have a crush on your mind too.

Hey!!! I've tried to get to the chicks website and can't. Did they pull the plug :) I'd love to voice my opinion. I did voice my thoughts at their record labels website. Feel free to write.
www.sonynashville.com

Ok girls... here's what you have to do to get America to forgive you :

1. A real genuine Texas style apology.. (hint.. the sentence has "I am sorry" in it.)
2. Wear nothing but red-white-and-blue until the war in Iraq is over.
3. Make a real "God Bless America" album with a few of the classics on it. (Like All four verses of the Star Spangled Banner)
4. All active military people get free tickets to your conserts for life. ( Some of them will lose thiers so you can make dipsy statments.. don't forget)
5. Never appear in public again without telling US how much you love America. (and why)
6. Vote Republican for the rest of your life (to prove you really understand what freedom is about)

All us rednecks really want to forgive you.. we just have know that you really mean it.

All that fuss about artists opinions is quite ridiculous. We had it in France, too. "Le Monde" was stuffed with rugby or movies stars pleading for peace. Well you now what? Nobody [cared]. nobody even read them, for all I know.

Only "Patriotic americans" seem to be childish enough to wail about some stupid singer opening her vast mouth. Dont you have a democracy up there? Well stop being "patriotic" and put your mind in gear. There are good reasons to this war; who cares about public opinion? Not GWB, I understood.

Linus,
Actually GWB does not need to be concerned about public opinion for the majority of us are with him.
You are partially right, only Patriotic Americans are upset over what the Dixie Chicks said but it is NOT childish.
Also, you are right in the fact that we ALL get a say, like we are doing here.
Now, there are many good reasons to go to war and being Patriotic is not one of them.
Being Patriotic means you love your country.

GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!

As for the Dixie Chicks... I will be protesting their concert on Friday with a sign that says "France thinks you have a vast mouth"

see yall in Austin!

USA - go to halfwits.com. There is a list of exactly what you want to know (though it is a little sickening how long the list is). you can also go to the website notinourname.net. this is the organization that garafolo has been yapping about...

BOYCOTT FRENCH PRODUCTS, THE BIGGEST OF WHICH IS TOURISM. MADRID, SPAIN IS georgeous AND SPAIN DESERVES OUR DOLLARS FOR HAVING THE COJONES TO STAND WITH US. (and the Spanish don't treat their tourists with contempt anyway)

Let's not forget Bulgaria, the tiny, newly-free nation that has consistently backed the US during all the UN debacle. Thank you.

Yes let's not forgets those poor silly peasants in Bulgaria who think Americans have any respect for their weak country.

THE DIXIE CHICKS ARE ALLOWED TO EXPRESS THEIR OPINIONS.IT'S CALL FREEDOM OF SPEECH.THE CHICKS WILL PERVIAL.....PEACE

Will you boycott them too if they don't agree to nuke North Korea?

Frenchmon.... Mark Twain said it best....

"In certain public indecencies, the difference between a dog and the Frenchman is not perceptible."
Notebook #17 Oct 1878-Feb 1879

"France has usually been governed by prostitutes."
Notebook #18 Feb - Sept 1879

....and we're also free to express ours, Patsy Cline (quite the shocker to you, isn't it?)

PS: the word you're struggling for is "P-R-E-V-A-I-L

Casey Kasem,Martin Sheen,Oliver Stone,
Robert Altman,Danny Glover,
Barbara Kingsolver, Gore Vidal,
Marisa Tomei, Susan Sarandon,
Ed Asner, Angela Davis,
Jane Fonda to name a few peace loving celebs who sign their names with Not in our Names (NION). Since people who fight for freedom and peace don't actually love freedom and peace. NION is here to show us how true peace lovers behave. So lets take a look-see.

We venture to Tucson, Arizona. Look it is the NION crew having a rally. Oh look they have created a large centerpiece of Bush. Yes, our president. Oh my it is actually a pinata. There is a sign next to it encouraging people to "Take a pre-emptive strike to bring about a regime change." People are taking part so violently that the pinata is smashed into little pieces on the ground. What a peace loving group.
They proudly report this story on their own website. Hypocrites are us.com (notinournames.com) Show them with our wallets what we think of this.
God bless our troops and country.

Enought with your God bless this, and God bless that. God has always been a very good excuse to kill people. This is boring .

STFU Frenchmen before I come over them and liberate your head from your shoulders.

whew! that felt really good to say that.

Time For Another Boston Tea Party!

Since LIPTON TEA is sponsoring the Dixe Chicksm American need to boycott and donate their LIPTON TEA to Homeless Shelters and NEVER buy it again!

Military Personal in Iraq, Pentagon and ever Military Base should reject drinking LIPTON tea AND DEMAND ANOTHER BRAND NOT CONNECTED TO Lipton Tea Company!

LIPTON TEA and DIXIE CHICKS are one the same until LIPTON TEA invokes Its Public Relations and Moral Clause in the Contracts with Dixie Chicks. All Contracts have them!

There are much better British teas out there anyway, like Twinnings. Is nestea still American??

Boycott Lipton because they are French owned anyway.

Boycott frenchman cause he has a small french snail, all slimy and everything, between his legs.

How do you know this !
sorry for you don't have your own snail.

1. you're french
2. You're right, I have a snake, a mighty python.

Just ask your girlfriend

LOL I am cracking myself up here.

THE DIXIE CHIX SHOULD BE CONSIDERED TRAITORS AND EXECUTED ON SIGHT, JUST LIKE THE REST OF OUR CITIZENS THAT DO NOT SUPPORT OUR PRESIDENT AND OUR GOVERNMENT. ESPECIALLY AT A TIME LIKE THIS. "DIXIE" CHIX NEED TO UN-ASS THE NAME "DIXIE". DIXIE IS A PATRIOTIC TERM AND SHOULD ONLY BE SPOKEN BY TRUE / PATRIOTIC AMERICANS. THEY DO NOT DESERVE THE RIGHT TO BE CALLED DIXIE.

I support the Dixie Chicks!!! I am glad to see that Natalie is voicing her opinion!!! Not all Americans are for the war and not all Americans are for Bush. I am glad to see famous people speaking their own opinion and speaking for the rest of us who don't agree with Bush. I just wish that Natalie didn't resort to that lame apology, she has nothing to be sorry about. We have freedoms in this country of ours. We have the right to disagree with our president. Isn't that what the troops are fighting for....freedom? Who cares what Saddam or Bin Ladden think about Americans who speak against Bush and against the war, unlike the middle east, we have the freedom to speak out against our leader! that's something that their people are very jealous of and that is something that they don't allow their own people to do! Natalie only exercised her freedoms. I have never been much of a country music fan but will now be buying more Dixie Chicks music!!! We should be respectful of ALL opinions and allow people to voice their opinions, anything less than that is ignorance! If you don't want people to have the right to voice their own opinion then move to the middle east!!! My advice, be informed and think for YOURSELF before making up your mind about an issue!!! We CAN be patriotic without being pro-Bush. We CAN be proud Americans and still be against the war! We CAN be supportive of our troops and still not agree with Bush. Good website: http://michaelmoore.com/

Are you all really this ignorant AND down-right stupid? How many celebrities have insulted past presidents!? I don't know, how about
Charlie Daniels, Clint Black, Merle Haggard, Barbara Mandrell, Loretta Lynn, Ricky Skaggs, Travis Tritt, Hank Williams Jr, Crystal Gayle, Reba McEntire, Lorrie Morgan, Mike Oldfield, Ted Nugent, Wayne Newton, Dick Clark, Jay Leno, Drew Carey, Dixie Carter, Victoria Jackson, Charleton Heston, Tony Danza, Robert Stack, Fred Thompson, Ben Stein, Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwartzenegger, Bo Derek, Rick Schroeder, George Will, Pat Buchanan, Bill O'Reilly, Joe Rogan, Delta Burke, Robert Conrad or Jesse Ventura.

You all are an embarrassment to America...

>>Will you boycott them too if they don't agree to nuke North Korea?

Not to worry Frenchfry,

Anything that insane the French will probably be all for it... like they were Saddam.. unless they have "business" they are hiding there too.

NK is more likely to be the ones to use a nuke.
So we expect you to start champioining them next.. don't disappoint us.

>>Please address the FACTS I've cited above, people.

Facts Sharif ????
mmuahhahahahahahah hahahahahaha !!

I bet your nose looks like Rudolf by now...
from being hit on the snout with pearls.

How fortunate we are that you are not a celebrity. At least we don't ever have to look at you, or hear your crapola in public !

AHA. you are right on, Spain, wonderful...great art...and I know I am old, but is not Patsy Cline is decesed? well now that would be a compliment for the DixChix.

I will never again purchase another Dixie Chix cd . I bought them for their musical value not for political commentary . Thay are now in the trash under last night's spaghetti !!!

I wonder if Vienna Sauages were invented by the French??? They have so much in common - small, small, small. Frenchie should know.

So give me an American boy, born and raised in the good old U.S. of A. And if he's a cowboy, so much the better. Right on, President Bush!!!

As for the Dixie #@*&%$#@'s - never liked them to start with, so I'm not missing anything at all.

The whole world including places like France supported the USA after Sept.11. However, there was no connection between this terrible event and Iraq. Saddam is a terrible dictator, but that doesn't give the USA the right to invade a country that hasn't threatened them and demand regime change. Pres.Bush has squandered this support. I'm going to buy a Dixie Chick album in support of a the patriotic Chicks who had the courage to voice an opinion that differs from the mainstream. Go chicks!

For every American that isnt going to purchase the Dixie Chicks CD, theres gonna some French or British person who will buy two...All this ranting and raving over someone using their right to free speech is just selling more albums...Ignorant morons! But what can you expect from a bunch of war mongering folk eating their freedom fries?

Viva la Dixie Chicks!

Viva la Dixie Chicks!

I'm boycotting R. Kelly's music because I believe that he's a pervert... He taped himself having sex with VERY young girls....(I saw the video--it's him alright)! His new album has already gone platinum! Every time I hear one of his songs I feel sick. Even if I'm wrong about him, at least I have a good reason to be outraged. A singer doesn't like the president? OMG! I just don't see what the big deal is.

Frenchies seem to think that calling someone a cowboy is an insult. I live on a ranch with cows and horses, wear a hat and boots and have lots of rifles and guns and drive a big 4x4 four door diesel truck. Guess I'm a cowboy too.... and it sounds pretty good to me.

For the Ditzy Chiqs just so you know we're ashamed you're from Texas and I hope there's plenty of people in San Antonio and Austin ready to show you. Hope those army people from Ft. San Houston make you feel right at home. And of course San Antonio has at least three Air force bases there. Maybe they'll do a flyover during your concert. You know those CDs of your music that we had make pretty good targets. They blow up reeeel good with a 12 guage Beretta shotgun.

Wow, i love this site!
dixie @#$#$% are dead, they are now the dixie who's
could thier concerts be where the next attacts happen uuuuuummmmmmmmm fitting i think.

I'm sorry that my country men are not standing next to yours, and i pray the chics don't come to canada, keep up the good work, and frenchy in his place, in the trash can with the dixie #%%@

I heard the US will use "smart bombs".
Let's hope they are smarter than dubbya !

inhisrightmind
So nice of you to post something that will be verifiable very soon, since sales are tracked. My guess is it's over for the chickies. And by the way I loved 'em. Saw 'em sing the Natl Anthem at the Super Bowl and teared right up (seriously the harmonies were great). Made me sadder to see them wipe their feet on my flag. As for sales, we shall certainly see, sir, we shall certainly see.

I copied this from a comment board on CMT.com.. thanks to the poster and apologies for copying it without being able to attribute it to you by name...

This is apparently a verbatim quote from the Dixie Chicks in the London Sunday Times 2/23/03....

{One of the refreshing and intelligent things about the Dixie Chicks is that, unlike some country artists, they don't bang on about Jesus.
"We don't like to impose our faith on people", says Martie. "I know a lot of country acts do-it drives us crazy when they get up and preach. I think POLITICAL and religious views are not to be shoved down people's throats just because you have a microphone in your hand".}

what the hell?
so then, is martie washing natalie's mouth out with soap????

I loved them to greyhawk. It does make me sad that I can no longer listen to the last CD my son bought. he lied the song travelin solder, but when you really listen to it it is more of an anti-war song than a pro-vet song. Its about the guy coming home in a body bag, no happy ending there.

Of course, if it had a happy ending it would be rap and not country, as long as they added butts and shooting cops to it.

History test

Was it not the same Dixie chick that bad mouthed Toby Keith about his 911 song.????
But in understanding! She stands on stage between two slim good-looking gals, and there she is, short and stubby, so in self-interest she has to show the world that not only does she have no body! But is brainless to. This could confirm that she is some how related to the frenchmon and sharif. But she sure could sing.

That's it I'm switching to Nestea!

I have to say this.....

NOT defending Ms. Maines' idiotic rhetoric but it's really BENEATH us to take cheap shots at her size which, by the way, is perfectly normal. (It's only that the sisters are tall and very skinny). They are all physically beautiful.

Fat jokes are such a cheap, easy shot to make - let's NOT.

Hello AHA,
I'm not sure but i think you coment about fat might be in regards to my statement about being short and stubby. Well i myself am short and stubby, but i'm not fat. I'm sorry if i touched a nerve, smile it looks good on you. But for the record, I hope they join Earl!

I USED to be a Dixie Chicks' fan, but no more. Support our troops!

Did Natalie say she was from Lubbock? I think was she meant to say was that she was from Les Buque. I think she she should move west and join people of like mind in Hollywood. Then they can all say they don't know anyone who doesn't think like they do. What do y'all think of that really lame apology?

Vienna Frenchmon and Mohammie Sharif - can we all pitch in and buy you a one way ticket to Iraq. I am sure they can use your help about now. Otherwise, I have some duck tape I would be willing to purchase for you - comes in good for closing gaping mouths. Maybe we could send you over there with layers of "Dixie-Dumb-Chicks" CD's to protect yourself with.

eyedareyou -
your's was not the first comment i have seen regarding natalie's a-little-bit-less-than-svelte silhouette. comments on physical appearance just strike me as dumb, not to mention irrelevant. Would you make a comment on the color of her eyes?
Fat, thin or in-between; short, tall or average; black, white or purple-striped; derogatory comments of these types are just out and out unworthy of a thinking, intellectual mind.
Here we are on this forum, extolling the simple freedom just to exist in all our wonderful diversity here in the great nation of the US... and then we poke at someone for being a little different? (actually, her body's different only from the sisters and just like most of the rest of us! God knows I'd like to smack her silly but fair's fair; she is very beautiful).
Here we discuss and fuss about the important issues of the day. Natalie's body shape or looks don't qualify.

Lived overseas for three years, in one of the weasel countries, defending their border from the Russians.
during that entire time, Paris was bombed by terrorists, and Germany played host to the Red Army faction and what was left of the Baader Meinhof gang.
Did I WANT to be over there? No. I did my duty and
KEPT MY MOUTH SHUT. My opinion? heh heh. I think we ought to pull out of the ME, and let them blow each other to **** and solve that headache once and for all. Or, we get in there and take SH OUT, and the Dixie Dips are aptly named...they don't have the brains, wit and style to be ladies, because Southern WOMEN and LADIES know that if y'all don't have nothin nice to say, y'all don't say nothin.

Cowards to have pandered to a European audience. And Lipton pimps for them. I don't drink tea, but there are other Lipton and Pepsi products that I
will not purchase...Pizza Hut and Taco Bell are two places that I can think of that don't need my money
either.

A late Parthian Arrow for Germany; It sure as heck wasn't MY country and YOU PEOPLE got back on your feet thanks to us. So did France and Belgium and Denmark. Ungrateful for the life you now enjoy because people like me put it on the line. I hope someone literate has a spare copy of A Man Without a Country and sends it to the Dixie Twits.

and the apology stinks, Ms Maines.

Everyone has the right to say what they want. But sometimes it is better to be seen and not heard as far as partisianship. You are enjoying the freedom that Americans and died for, in every conflict since the beginning. Maybe you should grow up! Please realize that always stating you opinion isn't always the best. You should be a full pledged American, who has the right to question, but also when it is deemed necessary to take action because of future possible threat, that too must be supported. We can never have another Vietnam type protests, now the hatred felt toward the military. Maybe you are to young to even know about that. But you should talk to any veteran who has served in a time of conflict, ask them what it is like, and what it would be like to see a war fought on homeland soil. As far as I am concerned you have placed yourselves in the same position Jane Fonda did during Vietnam, and you can see where she is since. A has-been. I guess you have named you own fate. I for one will never buy nor listen to you again. No apology will ever erase what you did and said. I also know there is a grass roots movement to have radio stations not play your music. I am entirely in favor of this movement.

frenchman,
We do respect Bulgaria. They always tried to at least defend themselves from invading armies and stand up for themselves. You can't make that claim.In the final scope all Bulgaria will lose is the support of a manical french president who has imperialistic goals to run the Euro. This is another prime example of french pride that has no basis for realty. To be proud you have to have some accomplishments. france has none. By the way did you guys ever repair the propellor that fell off your only aircraft carrier? To me that has to be the scariest thing in the world. Its nuclear and in the hands of french ego maniacs.

Aha,

Quote" Fat jokes are such a cheap, easy shot to make - let's NOT."

I agree with your premise but I would remind you that so are the comments she made about the President. Especially during a period when her own country was going to war. No matter what she thinks, she can say it later with a vote. All she has to do is put down her bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken and mark her ballot.

BTW...for those that don't know KFC is owned by Pepsi. I just didn't want to get to far ahead of myself.

I say .. don't punish the wrong people... Pepsi is a very American product.

True Story:

On a Service Club tour from Germany to France with a bus full of GI's, the cutie little French tour guide girl in Paris, started hacking on the guys about how Pepsi makes you sterile and impotent. I could tell it was an act.. (like Frenchman does here) that she used to get a rise on each group becuase it was a fun way to get a bunch of American boys real rowdy.

Needless to say it worked on our group really well. She got a lot of offers from the "gang" for personal proof that it wasn't the truth.

For anyone who wants to see the difference in intellectual credentials between President Bush and his staff and those of the anti-war celebs, go to
bushcountry.org and click on the story "Education Comparison between Hollywood the Bush Administration...Who's Smarter" It is great.

HEY, YOU IDIOTS who think that WAR IS UNFAIR AND UNJUST!!!!!!!!!!! To whom, exactly??? If you were into reality enough to flip on FOX NEWS for 10 minutes, you could see the men and women cheering or kissing our US soldiers after they are taken from a starving city environment and given hope from murdering, rapist leaders. These people don't hate us, they are waiting for freedom.

And NATALIE, I'm a Texan who can say that I am sincerely ashamed that you...are...from TX, too.

I think that dixie chicks should go to h*ll. Anyone who does not stand behind our country or president should be thrown out. Maybe we should send Natalie to Cuba so maybe then she can appreciate what our great president is doing. I call for anyone holding Dixie Chicks concert tickets to burn them and to tell anyone that has any to not show up to the concerts held in american soil. I understand that we have the freedom of speech, but there is a fine line and these idiots have crossed it. Let's show these communist entertainers that we (fans)have the power to end their careers. Tell everyone you know to get rid of all dixie chicks stuff and anything that has to do with lipton.

does anybody know if or when the iraqy chicks are back

If You all are with me on this, please throw in your two cents. Does anyone else wonder why I have students from the middle east studying at my college, when several were threatened after cheering at the site of September 11? Just like you, sherriff, I wonder how these idiots are at my school and have sooooo much oportunity, but still hate America. you can all go back to where you came from for all I care.

kae, i for one agree, we have become second class people in our own lands, our beliefs have been removed from our schools, our offices, and from public deplay because it might not be agreed apon by our visitors, who by the way come from lands that would kill us if we were to even state our beliefs. Whats wrong with this picture? if they don't like what we believe, well stay out of our lands. We don't force them to change thier beliefs, but we must put ours in a box!!!!! i think this is wrong wrong wrong! And anybody from a country that would insult ours should be shown to the border and never let back in.

PS they can take the chicks with them

Dixie Chicks,

How dare you state your febal minded opinions about our President and Country? YES, you have the right to , I know this, but did you not understand that this would ruin your careers. I'm sure you all have plenty of money, even for your grand children's children. Although they will be known as decendants of weak minded, traitors. You must be going through an identity conflict with yourselves. Let me help you out!
Your place in society is intertainment, nothing more. You are well paid servant of the AMERICAN PEOPLE! You are chosen by the AMERICAN PEOPLE, and paid by the AMERICAN PEOPLE! You are nothing more than a King's Jestor, a mere jugeling act.
Keep your negative opinions to yourself, this country desereves better than that.

Dear Dixie [Chicks]
I hate your stinking guts
You make me vomit
You are scum between my toes
Love a RED WHITE AND BLUE
TEXAN

eyedareyou, I totally agree with the fact that Reverse discrimination is occuring every day in our country. I want to know why a Japanese american or an african american is more likely to get hired to a company than me because of political correctness? And what about the fact that I was required to learn Spanish in school because of how it would "benefit my career?" No, I am sick of people coming into my workplace and not speaking a lick of English, like I'm supposed to bridge the gap. It still KILLS me how middle easterners are over here in Oklahoma, driving Lexus' and new Toyotas, and have obviously gotten the goods of freedom, but who don't give a sh** about our country's support. I could go on for hours, but I'll stop there for now. Later
p.s. Michael Moore was without a doubt the village idiot among all liberalist morons.
KAE

Clinton used the entertainment industry to put together the biggest event ever, 8 years as President. Everything he did was choreographed and with his Hollywood friends help. That is how he survived all the scandals. What is tragic is they don't realized they were used and really thought that they had the intellect and class to hang with a US President.

Now they are all so ANGRY that the party is over and scary, scary they still think they deserve respect for being props in Clintons White House.
Pathetic groupies...

As far As I've heard, Jay Leno has been just as bad as far as support our great country. Don't watch him. Secondly,does anyone know to what address I can send our DIXIE TWITS cd's too?? they are broken and ready to be returned.

Celebrityís, Marchers, or murders.
You tell me!!!!

As this war rages, the world has had the celebrityís and march movement demanding more and more attention. Well I hope they have been following what they have achieved!

The war of propaganda is also raging in a way the world has never seen. I know that thier intents are founded on what they believe to be good, but look at what they have achieved. Saddam is now been give a hope, yes he now believes that if enough woman and children are killed, and the world can see them in all their gore, that with the celebrityís and marchers rallying behind his claims of the death of woman and children he can still win this fight. It has become evident that he is now using this to the point, that he is now endangering his own people in away that he believes that the world opinion well try to stop this war. He is killing his own people in hopes that he can rally the celebrityís and marchers to his cause. Congratulations, you celebrityís and marchers! You may have caused more deaths then the armies that are there to fight Saddam and his group of murders!!!!! I know they think this is bull, but if they just think about it for a moment? And listen to the propaganda thatís being aired all over the world! They have given Saddam his best weapon to date, woman and children and innocent people. Good job, with their help they donít need enemies

Not to mention the number of our own peoples lifeís that they have endangered!

For the celebrityís and marchers, donít help them any more please. Youíre killing them!

Terry.

ps. please forward this to every body you can

I second that, eyedareyou. Why wouldn't these wretched countries such as Iraq keep the terrorism up? Idiots such as Michael Moore have internationally proclaimed that they despise our president as much as Sadaam does. "It's okay, Sadaam~! Go ahead and blow our families to bits! We like you better than Bush anyway!"(apparently) Celebrities have sympathized with the wretched "society" we call Iraq and it is going TOO far. Their sympathetic attitude towards the evil opponent is as wicked as Sadaam himself. They are putting us all in danger with their naive, relentless banter.
comments?

I think I'll have French Fries with my French Toast while listening to my CD of the Dixie Chicks.

Vive La France! They had the guts to stand up to the motley crew of right wingnut chickenhawks, currently running our country into the ground. With this gang bombing the world into peace we can all feel safer.

Don't they know that regime change starts at home?!

Hey Tim - I'll pay your way to France - the Land of Surrenderers. You should fit right in.

And Chicks, I am a native Texan and I also am ashamed you are from here. By the way, when did you attend the Jane Fonda School of Patriotism?

"... We are currently in Europe and witnessing a huge anti-American sentiment as a result of the perceived rush to war ... I am a proud American."
-portion of Natalie Maine's "apology" on the DC website. So what you're saying is you thought you were helping America by jumping in and adding to the anti-American sentiment?? I don't get it. And as far as firing back at your critics, you have the right. We, your former customers, have the right to drive your business right into the ground. You made a stupid business decision. You aided and comforted the enemy. You ingratiated yourself to a foreign audience. I guess CD sales there were more important than CD sales here in this great country that put you where you are (or hopefully were). Unfortunately, now because you're a celebrity, you get to further your agenda by showing up on fascist ABC to try to garner more support. But you won't. You'll only get support from the other ultra-liberal idiots with whom you are already lying and who are damaging the U.S. greatly. Natalie, why don't you just admit you're a young little girl who didn't know any better. And then, for Pete's sake SHUT UP! You other two chicks, cut your losses and get a new lead singer.

As a disabled veteran, I was appalled at Natalie Maines insincere,selfish comments made on Prime Time Live interview on 4-24-03. I gave 12 years of my life in the USN, serving my country Honorably and Faithfully in hopes of my family and all Americans could enjoy their freedoms and go about their daily lives, and pursuing their goals in safety and not having to be living in fear that such a tragedy as 9-11 would ever happen to our great country. What a slap in the face not only to myself, but to all veterans who have ever served to protect and defend the freedoms for so many who take them for granted.In the interview, Natalie made the statement that as a child, when her father told her not to play the piano any longer, that she deliberately played another note. Her father should have disciplined her then. I think that Natalie is a spoiled self rightous,selfish person, that doesn't have a clue about the cost of freedom that she has always enjoyed. Only in this great country could she have the life that she has. I feel that her statement about our President and Chief of Staff of our Military was as selfish and UNAMERICAN as any I have heard of. Maybe she should go to IRAQ and pursue her career and live like the people in IRAQ have endured for so many years. And what about all the people from countries all around the world who put their lives on the line, just to have the opportunity to live in this great country, not to mention the illegal immigrants who joned the military and fought and even lost their life just to become a citizen in this great country. I feel sorry for your sisters and the rest of your family. I will no longer listen to your music or support you in any way. I will however, pray for you that someday, you will be knowledgeable about the subject matter before you selfishly spout off about matters that you don't have any inkling about, especially when it comes to matters of our President and the many, many veterans of the greatest country in the world who serve Honorably and faithfully for ungreatful self centered people like yourself. My disabilities keep me from doing the simplest phiscal tasks to even support my family. But you know what? I would do it all over again for my family, and yes, even for ungrateful people like you. Thank God all Americans aren't as shallow as you. Wake up girl and smell the coffee.

Hello Dixie Chicks

Country fans are not dumb hicks like you obviously think. We are hard working people who are tired of being held in contempt by Hollywood and Washington, so we listen to Nashville where we thought of values were repected. What a slap in the face to find out that some country performers hold us in contempt. WE do not need to send our money to people who ridicule our commander in chief while our sons, daughter, nieces and nephews are in Harm's Way. God Bless all the veterans who have sacrificed for her freedom to expose her ignorance.

The only comments is that they say they are role models for our kids...Now they have posed nude!!!

hello

4/25/03 Good for the Dixie CHICK NM who said she was embarassed GW Bush was from her home state TX!I would also, at least, be embarassed if I were from TX. Thank God I'm not, but I'm still embarassed by Bush II. Our first & let us pray only court appointed Pres. Too bad the Chicks are losing money over it. So now it has come to you can say what you think in a free country, just not about the Pres! What crap! I did not see this kind of reaction when people said much worse things about Clinton, prior to his public daliance. PC can go-common sense can come back!

Natalies young. She'll learn when and where to keep her opinions to herself. She seemed sincere enough in her apology. I say forgiveness is in order. Remember forgiveness? It works like this someone says Im sorry and you say you are forgiven.

The Dixie Chicks made the statement that they were being treated this way because they are female...implying that a male artist could have done the same thing and gotten by with it. I fully support their right to express their opinions, even though I don't agree with them. However, if a male artist had stood on FOREIGN soil and talked that smack, I would also be in protest of him. It isn't about gender. I believe that for most of us, it isn't what was said, but how it was said. Standing on foreign soil expressing anti-American semantics with political conflict in the air is far different than standing on American soil doing it. Abusing their status as idols makes it worse. They have argued that they apologized. I have yet to see them stand on the same foreign soil to apologize, which I believe would be appropriate now.

The Chicks stood on foreign soil and cut down the leader of our country. They are entertainers, nothing more. Since they have made the stage their forum to express their opinion on my President, I have the right to give them my opinion of them. I loved their music, they're very talented young ladies,but they have forever ruined themselves in my eyes. I can't listen to them on the radio, WON'T watch their videos on TV and I'll never give them a dime of my money. They have turned me off of them forever. And just so they KNOW, they finished killing their image with the naked photos. Entertainers should entertain, and keep their mouths shut about things like politics. Didn't they realize most Americans are proud of their country and don't want ANYBODY criticizing their President? Guess they figured it out the hard way. Happy bankruptcy.

Welcome to the wide world of traitors and collaborators ... Walker, Anderson, Fonda and now the Dixie Chicks. Ladies, the ire of Texans is upon you!

FREEDOM IS NOT FREE Ladies. We Texans are so ashamed of you that it is my personal pleasure to dissuade anyone I can from buying your stuff, turn the station when you're played. You are not worth our respect, our admiration and especially the money that put you in a position that allows you to be heard espousing such rubbish ... you are listened to, right or not, and you should engage your BRAIN (NATALIE ) BEFORE OPENING YOUR BIG FAT MOUTH ... Your opinion is not our opinion ... You cannot take for granted that responsibility ... so long as there is a possibility that someone might think you have a clue ... you need to be more aware of the weight things you say may carry.

By the way, Barbara Walters, cute touch ... and the cover of ET Weekly ooooooo ... we're not buying a word of it! But here ya go, try this: Apologize to GWB IN PERSON on national television and I and my friends might think you mean it! Otherwise your recant with Barbara is as full of prairie muffins as yall are!

As for Lipton, they are now as absent as your music in my house ( since I mailed your CDs back to ya a week or so ago)! And since it seems to be your pocket and not your principals that motivate you remember your mouths cost you millions and it ain't over yet. America may have a short memory but Texans do not, and since you say it's home you already know that your original fans (we Texans) are the ones you hurt the most by such stupidity and we do not forget. Luckily for you, we are a big hearted bunch and we will probably forgive you ... eventually.

It's to bad the chicks didn't get to know all the brave men & women who have died to give them the freedom of speech!!! My self ,I will never buy another C.d. of thiers! I've already got rid of the C.D.'s I had. I'm ashamed they are AMERCANS!!

I am from Texas, and it's a disgrace that the Ditzy Chicks are from our state!!! I'm ashamed that they are even from America! I have never purchased any of their CDs before, nor will I ever buy one in the future! I'm still extremely ANGRY over what Natalie said about our President! Who cares if she apologized? The damage has already been done! It's very obvious that she only retracted or "clarified" her words because she is a spineless COWARD!!! They just wanted to save their butts from further scrutiny (and to save themselves from going bankrupt from the recent loss of records sales!). But then, they had the audacity to (once again) make a mockery of patriotic Americans by posing nude with cynical anti-war slogans painted all over their bodies on the cover of ET Weekly!?!?! You can bet your bottom dollar that the only thing they are "sorry" about is that they underestimated how patriotic people are. I think these ditzes originally thought they were actually going to boost their careers by jumping on the liberal Hollywood Anti-Bush Bashwagon! Ha! Boy, were they sadly mistaken or what!? Quite honestly, they deserve to be boycotted. These ass-clowns wanted to use their celebrity clout along with the freedom of speech to spew their Anti-Bush vomit without suffering any disadvantage. Well, we have the freedom to DISAGREE with them, and to use our clout as consumers and not buy their CDs or concert tickets! :)

Leave those girls alone they dont deserve what you all are doing to them.. They have as much freedom of speech as we do. I agree with them fighting is not the answer. They are only doing what they feel is right.

Ashley, you are being very hypocritical. You say that the Dixie Chiks have a right to express their opinion but we shouldn't. Well, guess what, since Natalie was stupid enough to make such an ignorant comment, she in fact deserves to hear the free speech and choices of others who disagree with her.

BTW, since you don't think that we should have fought to remove Saddam Hussein, I assume that you must think that the mass graves containing thousands of bodies is the better solution. Can you honestly say that supporting Hussein is right? Are you you willing to let dictators slaughter thousands and millions in order to have peace? What kind of peace is that?

Again you show your hypocrisy. If you thought fighting was wrong you wouldn't bother to post, but you are verbally fighting to defend the Dixie Chicks. If you want to stand up for something, don't stand up for airhead celebrities, stand up for the families of the thousands and thousands of Iraqis that were killed.

FINALLY, since the USA did something to remove the fear and terror, they are able to search for their loved ones and speak the truth.

The truth is, Bush was right, the Chicks were proven wrong. Bush had better sources of information to make a wise decision. Natalie was merely running her mouth to ingratiate herself with a European audience. Pay attention to the facts, not your silly groupie mentality in supporting foolish comments.

I totally despise all you idiots and retards who put bad stuff about the Dixie Chicks in this website. I totally support the Dixie Chicks, even if what they said was wrong. If President Bush were from Michigan, I'd be embaressed too! In the constitution, it clearly states that any American is entitled to freedom of speech, any from California, to Maine, to Florida, to Montana. And if any of you people on this website were really true Americans, you would give them a chance too!
GOD BLESS AMERICA, MY HOME SWEET HOME!

Jessica, your own post displays the very idiotic, groupie mentality to which I referred in the post above yours. I quote: "I totally support the Dixie Chicks, even if what they said was wrong.'
So you support them right or wrong. What has happened to YOUR sense of right and wrong? It has been subjugated to your groupie mentality. You feel that they are above accountability.

As for giving them a chance, I did. They blew it. The apology was even worse than the original comment. It accepted no reasonable accountability and sounded like a whiney, defensive statement that Natalie made because her manager said that she had better do so or watch her career go down the tubes. Basically she blamed EVERYONE ELSE and their reactions for what SHE said.

You also show the vary same hypocrisy of the other Dixie Chick supporters. Again, I quote: "I totally despise all you idiots and retards who put bad stuff about the Dixie Chicks in this website," and "In the Constitution, it clearly states that any American is entitled to freedom of speech, any from California, to Maine, to Florida, to Montana. So you are defending the right of the Dixie Chicks to speak out EVEN IF WRONG (by your own admission), but despise others who do the same merely because they support President Bush. What about my right to speak out?!

Besides, this is NOT ABOUT THE CONSTITUTION. No government agency has cesored them or penalized them. This is about the right of people to take action when they are offended. I have the right to do so. I have not done ANYTHING that denies the Dixie Chicks their Constitutional rights, nor has anyone else that chooses to post negatively against them or boycott them. You need to have a better understanding of the Constitution. It does not guarantee the right to make any idiotic comment and not suffer repercussions. It merely guarantees that the GOVERNMENT cannot use repressive measures to deny freedom of speech.

Read my post C-a-r-e-f-u-l-l-y. You will find that I am NOT a retard or an idiot. I am highly educated and possess the ability to present a carefully reasoned and written commentary. I will willingly and gladly stand up to the comparison of my IQ, my ability to reason and my ability to communicate against your abilities to do the same at any time.

Now, if you can come up with any reasonable and logical defense for Natalie Maines, please do so. If you can only resort to attacking other writers and the President, please find something more constructive to do with your time.

Well, Jessica, I see that you have established a very broad based vocabulary to write such an elegant piece about us "retards" and "idiots" whom you "totally hate". Let me give you a little advice that might help you understand just what you've said. I am one of those retarded idiots whom you profess to hate; I also have the responsibility of protecting American lives in the public safety sector and would put myself in harms way to protect yours if needed. What you've said reflects an uneducated bitter sentiment toward people who use the same constitution you retrieve your information from to express their distaste for a band who not only doesn't know your name, but could care less who you are. Would one of those Chicks put their life on the line for you? Think about that for a minute. In fact, let me give you an example. NASCAR will be in Michigan on June 15 at the Michigan International Speedway. Why don't you make yourself a nice big sign proclaiming that you hate any retarded idiot who disagrees with your point of view and go to the track and hold it up for all to see as those idiotic fans file through the gates. Maybe Ms. Maines will come up there and provide you with some protection, do you find that likely? I would be willing to bet that after you do this, you might reconsider who you refer to as an idiot or retard. And by the way, how about show a little respect for those less fortunate than you who may be truly afflicted with mental retardation.

SOW

merle haggard supports the dixie chicks. what do you ignorant rednecks have to say about that?

I think that the Dixie Chicks are great, beautiful girls. I thought this was a free country, where you could stand up for your beliefs? You cannot tell me you weren't scared that your nation could be destroyed. That's what Natalie was. Scared for the troops and families, including hers and Martie's and Emily's. The Dixie Chicks don't deserve your boo's and threats. What happened to freedom of speech? Where you could speak what you feel without your every word being jumped on? I support the Chicks 100%. Natalie did apologize and y'all chose to ignore it. What more can she do? Beg on her knees just for YOU? That's selfish. And Natalie didn't say what she said to get a few cheers, she doesn't need extra cheers because they have millions of fans that love their music despite her comments. Or at least I thought she and the other Chicks did. You are being unpatriotic and childish to say, "Send Natalie to Iraq!" because you are going against your fellow American. And why punish all the Chicks when it's Natalie who "did this to you"? By the way, what did Natalie do to you personally? I mean, personally. Not how she hurt our nation or your hearts, but how she phsyically hurt you. Did she go and spit in your face? Did she cut your arm off? Y'all don't know how to let things slide. Other celebrities have said worse, and our President has done worse. Natalie was just getting her opinion out there, and people had a choice to listen to her opinion, so it's not Nat's fault you listened to what she said. And if y'all "don't care" what Natalie thinks, why are you taking one thing she thinks to heart? You think that by boycotting the Chicks you are helping to decrease the Chicks' popularity, but it only helps make Chick supporters (like myself) buy their merchandise more. Grow up. Get a life. Evolve your life around something else than a comment.

Amen, emily.

Everyone that thinks (P)resident Bush is a liar and a double talker should check out moveon.org and help us get him out of office in '04.

Fact: Bush says "Support our Troops"

Fact: Bush has cut VETERAN'S BENEFITS, and SERVICEMEN'S BENEFITS in his budget, to make room for his millionaire tax cut. How is that "supporting the troops"?
