I think the Dixie Chicks got a bad rap

[Sava]

We're more alike than you'd like to admit.

[SlowwHand]

I admit, NOTHING!

[MRT144]

wow, he just went ad hominem on her ass.

[oedo]

I am offended by the name Dixie chicks
I would find the name Chixie Dicks much more offending.

[SpencerH]

her?

The boycott has very little to do with their being against the war but a lot to do with the disrespectful way they said what they said. From what I've read, the most outraged fans are those from Lubbock who were previously their biggest fans.

That would just change their fan-base.

What exactly did they say? Was it simply that they are against the war or did they rip up a picture of the president or something? For all the people that think singers and actors should keep their mouths shut about politics does that mean we can finally get rid of all the flag-waving **** cluttering our airways? Seriously, does it mean I'm not a patriot if I want to puke everytime I hear this stuff?

[SlowwHand]

No. It means you need Pepto Bismol.

[gsmoove23]

Mmm, I should keep it on hand near the tv maybe.

as far as I heard they burned the US-flag in end of each of their gigs. they also threatened the president and all secretaries in the white house. they said they will kill them as soon as they get them. also they spread flyers and ordered all us-soldiers to desert from the army.
and if this all wasn´t worse enough they even said that Dan Quayle would have been a better president than W currently is.

these chicks are really evil.

[gsmoove23]

Okay then, shoot 'em.

Ooops, "disrespectful" versus it's majesty.

That's because they call the land of the free and the brave, right ?

You can say and do whatever you like, as long it's respectful and despleases nobody. You just have to know your place and keep your mouth shut.

Here in the US people are free to speak their minds. However we are all also free to get pissed at people who express their foolish opinions oversees just to make someone happy, and then take it back when it makes someone else unhappy.

Thats called being "two-faced." I can respect someone for their opinion, even if I don't like it. But then saying it wasn't exactly what you meant makes you look like a fool.
