The other night, at their opening for their tour in London, they indicated on stage that they were sad to know/hear that our President was from Texas. Again, it is sad to see and hear yet another "celebrity" announcing that they are ashamed of their President of their Unites States. I just wish we would get over and get back so that these "celebrities" would quit using all of these Grammy, Emmy, own concert "stages" to provide their political saitre.

Heard the DJ on the local country music station here in Atlanta discussing the comments made by the Dixie Chicks during their concert Saturday night in London. They 'reportedly' made the comment that they're "ashamed that Bush is from Texas" among other things.

Did a little digging and found the referenced thread on the Hollywood Halfwits page. Since I couldn't find any sign of it here on FR, I thought I'd see if anyone else had heard/knew more about it?

Speaking only for myself, I'm ashamed the Dixie Chicks are from America.

Watch their record sales tank.

[goldstategop]

Yup.... more liberal celebrities take a dig at our country on the eve of war. The Chicks are not from Dixie!!!

[Paul Atreides]

The Ditsy Chicks should stick to music.

[Howlin]

OMG.....don't tell me this.

[alrea]

they sound like a bad Hallmark card anyway

[Ben Bolt]

Just add them to the list and dont forget . Perhaps a welcoming party can be arraigned to greet them when they return ?

[TheClintons-STILLAnti-American]

All of the "ashamed" people were probably fine with having a lying rapist in the presidency.....so what is their opinion worth. Even the whole world saying that right is wrong and vice versa does not make it so.

[sheik yerbouty]

Sad but true...

[uncitizen]

On a recent Dixie Chicks special on CMT, either Martie or her sister said the original Dixie Chicks had performed at events for Texas Governor Bush on more than a few occasions.

I am PISSED!

[cmsgop]

and Al Gore.....

[gcruse]

Uh oh. Country music and anti-Americanism don't mix. Buh-bye gals.

[GWfan]

I know many people here who used to love the dixie chicks. I know the idiotic statements they made will hurt concert and music sales here.

[try phecta tom]

I have to admit, until three minutes ago I liked em.

[Caipirabob]

Darn, I was about to give them a listen, but apparently not much worth listening too.

[uncitizen]

Really? I didn't hear that part.

[Redcloak]

It's confirmed here. They can kiss my American ass.

[Bonaparte]

Simplest way is to not have anything to do with mass media of any kind. This is what I did a long time ago. No more keeping track of who's an American and who's a traitor. The whole thing is pretty much rotten anyway.

[Newbomb Turk]

The Dixie Halfwits also dissed singer/songwriter Toby Keith's song The angry American AKA Courtesy of the Red White and Blue.

I thought they redeemed themselves by singing the National Anthem at the Super Bowl without butchering it.

How disapointing. Now I must steal their music off the net instead of buying it.
