My oh my, what passes for courage in Liberal circles these days. Sort of like the "Profiles In Courage" (Kennedy) award going to Murtha for his traitorous comments about our brave soldiers in Iraq being cold blooded killers.
Remember...only in the world of the Lunatic Left, a true patriot is defined as one that is willing to burn the American flag!

For what it's worth, the Chicks' new single bombed on country radio, putting their careers further in question. It's a problem they wouldn't have had if they'd kept silent. Then again maybe the song just stinks.

Courage? Oh, please, the Cowardly Lion had more courage!

I guess they have a right to shoot their mouths off,but we don't have the right to refuse to buy their records.

Taking a stance against an administration in a country that supports freedom of speech is hardly courageous. It would be courageous if she took a stance against the North Korean government while living in North Korea.

"Watching, you wonder when is the last time you saw anyone in the pop culture arena put their careers on the line for matters of principle."
I believe Mel Gibson did exactly this just a couple of years ago.

What a bracing display of guts. If the fat chick would lay off the cheeseburgers, less guts would be displayed.

Sort of like the "Profiles In Courage" (Kennedy) award going to Murtha for his traitorous comments about our brave soldiers in Iraq being cold blooded killers. Some time ago,Lowell Weicker,a former "Republican" governor of Connecticut (he was really a RINO),got the award for having rammed through a state income tax to which a huge majority of CT's citizens were vehemently opposed.
To America's Royal Family,that's courage.

"They could have moved on, left well enough alone. Instead, they declare themselves, ``not ready to make nice . . . not ready to back down . . . still mad as hell.'' "
And that is relevant how?
Hanoi John Kerry and Algore do that kind of thing almost every week. :)
Spewing out Bush-hate once in 3 years, just doesn't cut it in the Bush-hate league anymore.
So sorry.

If Natalie had never said a word against the POTUS, Toby, Reba, etc, I would still find her just as unlikable.

No matter how many radio stations are lobbied to play their records or how many journalists write sympathetic articles, it won't matter. In country music, these twits are DONE.

They could have just shut up.
Why didn't they? They are so yesterday.

Courage is admitting when you are wrong - and trying to make amends.
Courage is seeing what must be done, and doing it, and never whining about the price you pay for it.
How do these *ahem* individuals' actions stack up against those two definitions?
Not well... Not well at all.

>>Boston's lone country music radio station WKLB-FM/Country 99.5 so far is ignoring the first two singles from the Dixie Chicks' brand new CD "Taking the Long Way" according to a news report on CBS4 News this week. WKLB isn't even paying attention to their summer tour by omitting their July 29th stop at TD Banknorth Garden on its concert section of its website
Both singles bombed. Not ready to make hits.
"Hi! We're the Dixie Chicks! And we think the millions of you who used to buy our records are, like, a bunch of ignorant hicks who support that stupid President! So we're moving our base of operations to
New York City and going after the adult contemporary audience!
Screw you, country fans!" :)
