No Mr. Carter, THIS whole controversy is very LARGE...or perhaps you think that damn near seditious statements by left-wing celebrities and the support your station provides in giving them access to that platform are but a trivial concern to your listeners...

Don't you mean the "Blixie Chicks?"

How many other country stations are there in KC? I give it 6 months before KFKF has a "change in format."

When one of their songs comes on the radio . . . CLICK!! Never again. Last night, we attended Ricky Skaggs concert in Hanford, CA. He made wonderful, supportive remarks about our President, our Troops and our country and he made fun of and criticized the Hollywood types. RICKY SKAGGS IS A GENIUS, musically, too. WHAT A GREAT AWESOME EVENT!! Blue grass forever. Let's roll! For victory & freedom!!!

"We are putting the Dixie Chicks back on KFKF." Bad move, Dale. I suspect your days as a Program Director can be measured in two digit numbers. Maybe the Chicks will let you roadie for them on their washed up tour next year in health food stores, flea markets and public parks across the country.

Every time a Dixie Chick song is to be played, it should be replaced with:
Have You Forgotten by Darryl Worley
God Bless The USA by Lee Greenwood
Courtesy Of The Red, White, and Blue by Toby Keith

I just responded to Mr Carter's lame excuse of 'supporting the Constitution'. I'm sorry, but I don't consider condoning irresponsibility 'supporting the Constitution'

If your in that area ,call the station and let them know you've changed stations. If your in the Harrisburg Pa area BOB94 is not going to stop playing the Chicks ,thats fine theres more then one station and I don't have to listen to country.

I'm against stations refusing to play the Dixie Chicks. That will just give the DC's a chance to prattle about the "heavy price" they had to pay for their "courageous stand," how they've been "blacklisted," "it's a new McCarthyism," etc. We need to keep in mind that the mainstream media is on their side and will spin it their way.

"Our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines are over there fighting for our rights - and one of those is our Constitutional right to express an unpopular opinion. The longer this has gone on, the more I had visions of censorship and McCarthyism."
But if I publically say that homosexualism is offensive to me I can get fired from my job.
You are right, she did have the right to say that and she also has the right to feel the outrage of the vast amount of Americans that feel that bashing the President of the United States, while on foriegn soil, especially at this time, is nothing less than seditious.

The station manager is an idiot. His reference to the freedom of speech guaranteed by the First Amendment is misplaced. The First Amendment is a limitaiton on the power of government. It places no limit on, and is entirely irrelevant to, private actions. Commercial boycotts, for example, organized by private citizens as a consequence of offensive comments by public figures are not prohibited by the First Amendment.
It was once said that patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel. Given the comments of this station manager and recent similar comments by the Screen Actors Guild, I have come to believe that the First Amendment is the last refuge of "celebrities" who speak out on issues abut which they know little and who then seek to avoid the consequences of their own folly.
I suggest the good citizens of Kansas City introduce the station manager and the Dixie Chicks to another part of the First Amendment: the right of citizens to peaceably assemble. They can assemble away from the products offered by this particular station and overrated country chick band.

London. On the other hand, I believe in the Constitution. We are
putting the Dixie Chicks back on KFKF.<<
What a load of horse sh!t. Refusing to play the Dixie Chicks is quite Constitutional.
I hope this guy loses his station and his job.

Actually this might be an ill-advised ploy for ratings, if no one else in town is playing the Blixie Ditzes..why not soak up the publicity for a low rated station being the only one to play the band?

Bad business move. Upside is limited, downside infinite. This guy will be gone rather quickly.
