I have made it this far through the thread and haven't seen this question asked:

"Do the other two agree with her and allow her to be the mouthpiece, or are they ready to choke her?"

I'd love to hear/see an interview where the others say they wish she'd kept her mouth shut. Shoot, THEY surely had an interest in their success.

As I recall, they indicated they agreed with her.

They have stood beside her on this entire thing (remember the infamous Entertainment Weekly cover a few years back?), and IIRC it's the other two (who are sisters) that "own" the band, with Fat-alie merely being an employee. If that's the case, they could have thrown her overboard at any time and continued with a different lead singer, if they'd wanted to. It certainly would have been the correct business move, regardless of the political ramifications.

As such, I think it's safe to say they're all in on this together.

When the incident first occured, Bruce Robison who is married to Emily Robison (the wall eye chick), also a country entertainer, hada message up on his website saying that he didnt agree with Natalie. It was up for about 3 days, maybe a week, and was taken down never to return. Since then they claim they agree with natalie.
