This is a thread for people who want to support a nationwide boycott of the Dixie Chicks for their unbelievable statements in another country!
Here in Virginia, I have yet to hear any of their songs and wish to keep it that way for a long long time.
There are a lot of websites out there with on-line polls that will respond to a good FReepin'. This is the place for FReepers to post links to radio station websites.
Let's roll!!!

Well, if you through your TV out the window, you won't run the risk of seeing one of their videos on CMT now will you?

It struck a nerve with me as well. Something about doing it on stage and what they said about our president.
I'm in this for the longterm.

They sold out when they brought in Natile Maines and her publicity machine.

You're missing the point lulabelle. These were C&W stars not lesbian pop stars. C&W fans are OVERWHELMINGLY conservative and patriotic to the hilt. This started Wed night and we Freeped their fansite with messages, by midnight the band had already posted a "disclaimer". Thursday the first stations were removing the band from their playlists and it is still growing today. Blood is in the water and these b1$#%s are going DOWN! Careers and fortunes are being threatened and torn asunder as we speak. Managers are shaking in their boots wondering what to do with storm that WE raised. The butterfly has started a hurricane.

Been a long day...time for a cold one and GH on SoapNet.

Good job.
Here's what I sent.
Dear Lipton,
I request that you withdraw any sponsorship of the Dixie Chicks because of the offensive, inflammatory, anti-American comments that the lead singer made against the President of the United States.
Even worse, the comments were made in a foreign land during a time of impending war, while our troops are facing battle at any time.
The Dixie Chicks will never have any support of any kind from me, ever again. Nor will those who sponsor them.
Thank you for your time.

You know I was joking right?
That's the first thing that came to my mind too.
Petaluma is some town in the news. Been silly all day.

WHAT BUGGED ME WAS THAT THEY MADE THEIR SNOOTY COMMENTS IN ANOTHER LAND AND THAT THEY CITED FOREIGN OPINION AS BEING SO IMPORTANT, LIKE WE'RE SUPPOSED TO KOWTOW TO IT!
Exactly
If anything they should have defended the Good Ol USA

You'd think that a fansite would want to document the demise of their favorite band ;-)
To: MigrantOkie
Well now to post on their board you have to join and pay 30 dollars. Wasn't that way a few days ago.

Although we are all entitled to our own opinions, and I do have respect for yours, as I'm sure you have for mine, I do not believe I am missing the point. It's just that all the attention they are getting for that asinine (and it was) comment is only giving them and other "celebrities" who are spouting nonsense out their blowholes credibility.
Listened to Toby's Unleashed on the way home from work, and feel much better. Track 4 is particularly good for the soul.
To: mrsalty
It kicked mine back. Guess they didn't like what I had to say.
LOL

Thanks for your note! Although shocking, but maybe not so shocking of Natalie Maines comments on George Bush, in the end the public will decide if she shot herself in the foot by making those comments and not buying Dixie Chicks cd's... Respond to him,
And the public will decide what your\e stations ratings (which equal ad revenue) will be if you continue to play the Chicks.
