The Dixie Chicks, Emily Robison, left, Natalie Maines, center, and Martie Maguire, say they are posing nude to make a point.

NEW YORK - The Dixie Chicks appear nude on the cover of a weekly showbiz magazine in a defiant answer to a backlash over their opposition to the war in Iraq.

Would someone please explain to me why it is that being anti-war means you suddenly get a desire to shed your clothing?

It sure ain't gonna appeal to the Islamofacist crowd or the sexually-repressed and easily offended Arab Street, that's fer dang sure. (However, there is no doubt that Uday Hussein would enjoy the sentiment and view...)

notice how "the other two" are acting as human shields.

They also throw in positive words like patriotic, hero, etc. on themelves along with the bad words.

This follows the censorship issue spin by the handlers. I bet this cover was pre-planned for the start of their concert next week. In fact every media exposure this week was to prep for the launch of their concerts. Look for reporters to have "giggly" fans saying they still luv da chix.

Is there a protest set up for the first concert? Is http://www.protestwarrior.com going to be there?

I thought that photo was made by a FReeper.

Yup. Like good little leftists trolling the masses.

[smiley]

I am so SICK of the Dixie chicks.....they're DONE.

[kjam22]

The media can spin it all they want.... but if CD's don't sell... the chicks are fried.

[Live free or die]

You know until I saw the picture I thought this was a joke! I think I can officially predict that these gals are history.

Girls - Dont let the door hit ya where the good lord spit ya! Try to peddle this junk in Kabul and at the site of the latest Shite pilgrimage. You would be the ditsy bits.

I'm so damn tired of hearing them whine, and others talk of "blacklisting". What a bunch of crap. The more they whine the worse they look. It is not un-American to disagree with the Dixie chix, it is not Un-American to not want to buy their records.

Anybody who sells anything will tell you, people not only buy the product but the image, attitude, and packaging. The Dixie chix thought what they were spouting would help them sell more records. When it backfired, all of sudden, they are "kinda" sorry, and anyone would won't buy their crap is un-American.

Hollywood types gotta learn to stick with product they are selling and stay out politics. How hard is that! stupid chix.

They get the "good "drugs.

I just opened this picture up in Photoshop. HOLY #*(@! This is the worst "touch-up" job I've ever seen.

It is horrible. I know high school kids who could do better in 2 minutes.

And that is absolutely not Natalie's body. Her head is pasted on at the clavicle bone. To a trained eye, that's clear at normal size, but zoom in and it's obvious to anyone.

I hope the media doesn't give them a pass on this...

I wonder if Saddam thinks his "angels" are hot?

[US_MilitaryRules]

They are not nude. All their private parts are covered.

[EggsAckley]

ROTFLMFAO @ stunt t!ts.

[US_MilitaryRules]

And its not their bodies.

[demnomo]

Yeah, but now that the secular Ba'athists are out of power, will posing nude for peace be appreciated by the already liberated-from-Saddam Iraqi people, let alone turn on our US troops and the somewhat conservative fans of Country Music?

For making a "statement, this is lame and a bit late to the game. If it is an attempt to garner sympathy or interest, even males who dig this sort of soft-core stuff won't listen to or buy their music. The teeny-boppers might. Unfortunately for the DC's, teeny-boppers have a short attention span and grow-up.

And here I thought labels always got in the way on clothes.
