"Click the link, and take note of the following statement:

This article is satire from The Specious Report. This is a parody and not affiliated in any way with DixieChicks.com."

Most freepers will likely read the posted article rather than clicking the link. The statement identifying it as satire did not appear in the posting. As such, it is misleading, and should be deleted as abuse.

"That's probably the reason the poster included "(humor)" in the title."

Actually, the word "humor" was added later. When I first read it, it did not have anything to show it as parody. It read like someone's attempt at humor, as no one, not even the fat Dixie Chick could be that head-up-the-ass stupid, so I clicked the link. That's why I posted what I did. I know how hair-triggered some FReepers can be. We have enough PR problems from trolls that we don't need to create a bigger mess by ourselves.

Natalie's real apology wasn't accepted, and this attempt to make conservatives and country music fans look foolish is lame, too. :)

Thanks. As I read more of the thread, I realized that the humor had probably been inserted into the title later by the Admin Moderator. (It looks like they've been pretty busy today.)

actually, the Moderator put HUMOR in the title - I didn't think it was one damn bit funny - I didn't know it was a parody site - but there is a schedule of coming concerts and that is not a parody.

The title has been changed to "humor".

One thing that must be remembered is that most country music fans who listen to Dixie Chick music aren't Liberals.

The Dixie Chicks have a right to voice an opinion that is insulting to their Conservative country music audience and their Conservative country music audience has an equal right to tell them to go to h*ll.

Wide Open Spaces, Parody

I really don't know what I'm talking about,
I bash my homeland, and I struck out.
To find a thought and a cause of my own
my life in the clouds as another Iraqi's stoned.

I try to lead, but no one will follow
false compassion rings rather hollow.
I choose tyranny over the west,
To me tyranny is really for the best.

I need wide open spaces,
kind that gassing kurd will make
I need Dead Faces
empaled up on stakes.

She died on this road as a child,
Wide eyed hopeing, she never tired.
But now she won't be coming back with the rest,
I stopper her hope and she was raped to death.

I need wide open spaces,
kind that gassing kurd will make
I need Dead Faces
empaled up on stakes.

As my friends visit me they shout "No War For Oil",
Saddams winks at me and says "That's my girl"
He says, "I started this over 12 years ago,
Can't believe you've fallen for the same song and show."

I need wide open spaces,
kind that gassing kurd will make
I need Dead Faces
empaled up on stakes.

ENJOY, and if anyone wants to record it, yes its my work... drop me a line.

She is not only anti-Bush, she is a coward who wouldn't stand by her statement! This proves she is willing to say or do anything to keep that money floating in....is she really from Texas, cause she sounds like a Canadian?

Hiya Dansangel. :-)

Hugs to you. Long time no type!

I gotta say, my fingers were definitely typing before my brain was enganged. lol

I stopped off to get a bottle of wine this evening and even the guy at the counter was asking about the Vichey chicks. I turned him towards Toby and then brought up that new song Whiskey for my men, beer for my horses. ;-)

You're a hoot, (((((((((RS))))))))

I definitely have to meet you sometime soon. I admire "feisty" in a fellow FReeper!
