Atlanta radio station WYAY: Send the Dixie Chicks a message

Have The Dixie Chicks Gone Too Far?
Dixie Chicks singer Natalie Maines said "Just so you know, we're ashamed the president of the United States is from Texas." Phone calls and e-mails from many of you indicate a difference in opinion. We're giving you the chance to send your comments - which will be printed and delivered to The Dixie Chicks so they'll know how you feel.

Natalie Maines of "The Dixie Chicks" said at a concert in England and was quoted by a reporter from The Guardian "Just so you know," says singer Natalie Maines, "we're ashamed the president of the United States is from Texas."

At the EAGLE we disagree with her... we're behind President George W. Bush, whether we go to war or not. In a follow-up quote from The Dixie Chicks, Maines was quoted as saying: "We've been overseas for several weeks and have been reading and following the news accounts of our governments' position. The anti-American sentiment that has unfolded here is astounding. While we support our troops, there is nothing more frightening than the notion of going to war with Iraq and the prospect of all the innocent lives that will be lost."

Maines further stated, "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."

Do you accept her excuse? We thought we'd give you a chance to "sound off" and let the Dixie Chicks know if you are in agreement with them - or if you disagree. We will print out these messages and (unless content demands otherwise) we will get copies of your e-mails to the Chicks so hopefully they'll reconsider their opinions.

Remember...be a Proud American, keep it clean!

I hope this absolutely KILLS their career (...even though I like their music) ...they don't deserve the good will of the American people.

[katana]

No honey, the fat makes you look fat.

[Redcloak]

Been there.
FReeped that.

[Jeff Head]

Great, I was looking for someplace I could send a message directly to the group. Here's my letter to the Chicks,

Natalia is free to voice her opinion however she wants ... but you know what? I am free to spend my money however I want and not another dime of it will go to the Dixie Chicks, or anyone supporting them.

Too many people like Natlia, living the pampered life, buying into a leftist/liberal/marxist line, can't see beyond the nose on their own face in my opinion.

Saddam Hussein is a menace to our interests and our liberty. He has not kept the peace treaty he signed twelve years ago, he is violating it every day now and rearming himself, he will arm our enemies and he must be brought down.

I don't want our people over there in harms way anymore than the next person, but there come time when you have to "cowboy up" and do things you don't really want to do so you preserve your ability to do anything at all in the future. That's where we are now with Iraq, and I say, "the sooner, the better."

UN or no UN, French cheese or not ... Natalia and her Dixie Chick music or not. All of that doesn't mean squat when you get down to these types of issues.

Sincerely,

Jeff Head

Just sent my opinion in, phone number and all.

[Theresawithanh]

Why can't these people just do what they know how to do, perform, and keep their mouths shut?

Now I've added the Dixie Chicks to my list....

[uncitizen]

We can just express our opinions from here, cuz you know they're monitoring FR. Furthermore, don't get hooked into submitting your email address to them unless you love SPAM.

[Sunshine Sister]

I didn't want to join the club either. I would have said,"If you hate this country so much, stay in England. We don't want you here.

[smiley]

Natalie, we the American people, and the victims and survivors of 9-11 are ASHAMED OF YOU!

[camle]

something that fat on that little island is likely to capsise England!

[wideawake]

It's OK to go through life blonde.

[kever]

That pig Natalie Maines should move to Iraq if she hates it here so much - what a loser. Everytime I see her on TV I get sick to my stomach.

[Sunshine Sister]

Well said! I wish I'd thought of that!

[Theophilus]

How many anti-american celebrities have to become casualties before we stop talking and fight this war? I'm sure Bush (a country music fan) must be sorry to see the demise of the Dixie Chicks.

[Theophilus]

Well bless your little heart Chix (profound southern insult)

[Mark]

Their newest sign will read, "We'll sing for food".

[Winfield]

When all the rest of the world knows about us is what
they see in the trashy movies put out by Hollyweird and
showbiz people like the "Dixie Bimbos"......we wonder,
"Why do they hate us?" Duh!!!!
