Drudge Sirens: TEARS ON TV: DIXIE CHICKS EXPLAIN BUSH BASHING

Drudge Report ^ | 3/24/03 | Drudge

I just think we need to be honest about what this is.

We support our Commander-in-Chief WHEN HE'S RIGHT. We don't, when he's wrong.

Clinton was rarely right on anything. Mr. Bush is right about 90% of the time.

That's the difference.

But I doubt any of us would get up in front of an audience in a foreign country, and announce that we were "ashamed that Bill Clinton was from Arkansas," or whatever.

Well, maybe we would. I'll have to think about it.

[Ichneumon]

[I feel regret for, you know, the choice of words. Or the non-choice…]

Non-choice? What the heck does that mean? You always have a choice. You can choose to keep your mouth shut.

I'm not sure, but I think by "non-choice" what she meant was her failure to choose her words or venue more carefully.

[Am I sorry that I asked questions and that I don't just follow? No.]

Follow what? Can anyone interpret this sentence?

That one's more clear -- by "just follow", she means "be a mind-numbed Republican robot who unquestioningly follows Bush and Limbaugh". She's claiming to be a "free thinker" who actually questions things, unlike us conservative slaves.

She disrespected her fan base - she is rude, pretentious and disrespectful, not to mention that she took advantage of the microphone we paid for (with other intention in mind) and we do not take kindly to that behavior.


We say please and we say ma'ma
if you ain't into that
we don't give a damn

Europe knows her only because Texas knew here first, she need to show a little respect.

Not to mention some damn humility! She has never been paid for her mind!

[Exigence]

But the comments were said in Europe, not in America.

You just can't help this, can you? No wonder you're so sympathetic to Maines.

The point is that it was even less appropriate to make these comments on foreign soil when war was imminent. That's what Clinton did. That's an abhorrent choice for an American standing on the public stage.

Then, to try to excuse it as something she would have only said there and not here makes her sound like an even bigger hypocrite than before.

On the other hand, you're advocating hypocrisy, so maybe I'm getting a handle on all of these crocodile tears you're sheddin'.

[sit-rep]

Save for later...

[proud_2_B_texasgal]

Not a big DC fan, ever. ..

I am totally blown away by the fact that so many celebrities lack any kind of filter between their brain and their mouth. Then act TOTALLY suprised when their words are taken to heart. Their "freedom of speech" results in our "freedom of expression" (boyotting).

They'll learn the lesson .. or not.

I also think we have spent WAY too much time and energy on them .. THEY ARE NOT WORTH IT.

[CyberCowboy777]

I choose not to support wholly stupid, rude, disrespectful and inconsiderate people.

And I respect that opinion.

And there is your problem, stop respecting and join. You should be joining me in the effort to raise the bar for the human race, not settling in as an apologist for it's defecation.

[Exigence]

I posed a question to all people on this thread criticizing them, not just "you" and you know it.

Yes, Joe, I know it. But you don't.

You're pulling a classic liberal media trick of trying to pin the bulk criticism on those who go a little over the top. It's called "discredit the critics." Clinton was famous for it, remember?

I promise you, ol' buddy, most of the critics are are rational, patriotic, and not at all dazzled by the stage lights that the Dixie Chicks are trying to hide behind.

You really should think this through before going on the attack. You're starting to resemble that which you criticize. I doubt if that is a coincidence.

[CyberCowboy777]

While and example of part of your original comment, I asked about the Saddam super-imposed picture(s)

[Exigence]

Its like you are reading the thread in an alternate universe.

Well, one of us is. ROFL

Actually, I've been following your threads. It's an inescapable conclusion after reading what you've wrote: kneejerk, apologist, excusing, hypocritical... those will do for a start.

Those folks posting the doctored pictures are starting to look more rational than you are, Joe. Maybe it's time to take a deep breath, think hard, and regroup. Eh?

[Exigence]

what you've wrote

In the interest of clear communication and proper grammar, let's make that, "what you've written."
