Wow. Snippy are we?

[Timesink]

I just spent twenty minutes formatting this article (EW.com goes out of its way to make their stories as hard to copy as possible). I don't want the thread deleted.

These people are idiots. They claimed last night that they are moral patriots and MOTHERS, yet they poise nude? Now that's rich!!

I pitty their poor kids. Can you imagine SEEING the front page of that magazine when you grow up? GROSSSSSSSSSSS

Sure, they probably used body doubles, but still.. the impression is left, so it won't matter if they try to tell their little ones,.."Well, that wasn't REALLY Mommy", because anyone with an iota of cognitive ability would still question WHY they would agree to "portray" themselves as being naked!!

These girls should have kept their mouths shut.. they are really disgusting. That is MY RIGHT to say. They helped MOLD MY opinion!!

My tour bus driver left me high and dry a month before our tour started. I just couldn't believe he wouldn't drive my bus because of what Natalie said.

That guy has more integrity in his little finger than these Chicks have in their bloated, pampered bodies.

If Bush was right here in front of me

That's President Bush to you, b!tch.

On "Fox and Friends" thursday 4/24...

Steve Doocy: "What do you think about the 'Dixie Chicks'?"

Hennry Kissinger: "What's a 'Dixie Chick'?"

(I'm series!)

They have an arrested maturity which predisposes them to a child-like view of the world. Which is consistent character flaw among Liberals.

[TXBubba]

You are so right. At one point they said, "We know we are role models etc."then they showed the "nude" cover. I turned to my husband and told him that if they certainly aren't the role models I want our daughter to see.

[TXBubba]

make that "they certainly aren't"

[FloridaBoy]

Is that like a bad egg that never hatched?

< They never in a million years thought that we wouldn't want to go to war. ... >

Therein lies the problem. Does anyone ever "want" to go to war? That's the problem I have with "anti-war" people. They seem to think people are "for" war or "want" war. What we "wanted" was to do the right thing. WAR was the means to get it done.

Hey man, freedom of speech! </sarcasm off>

I have to say the Dixie Chicks EW cover was more interesting than either the article or their interview with Diane Sawyer. Of course I don't think too many people remember what Lady Godiva was protesting either.

[Vets_Husband_and_Wife]

I saw that and almost CHOKED. ROLE MODELS?? No thanks!!

Our children and grandchildren were taught to LOVE this nation. They are also being taught morals!!

Unbelievable, wasn't it?

When the middle girl was asked if she would like to say something to President Bush, she said "You don't have enough time".

I knew what she meant..and it wasn't an apology.

She feels NO REMORSE. NONE.

She kept saying that she thought the President should have acknowledged those who disagreed with the war, like they did.

Dianne Sawyer said "he did.. he said this is America and everyone has a right to their opinion" *(not a direct quote.. but I'm sure you heard Diane try to explain that HE HAD SAID he supported the rights of the protestors to protest peacefully). She talked right over Diane. All three were VERY arrogant.

They have done NOTHING to make anyone in this house think they are sorry.

But they do have a twisted logic. They think it is mean and awful that they would be punished and people would not buy their music or attend their concerts because they spoke out. In otherwords, they think the boycotting is awful. THEY CAN HAVE OPINIONS, BUT GOD FORBID ANYONE ELSE THE SAME PRIVLEDGE!!

They even acted APPALLED that LITTLE KIDS were out there stomping on THEIR CD's. They were all upset about it!! Yet they pose nude on the FRONT COVER of a magazine.. Which in all likely hood, could be in a supermarket on a newstand when their KIDS walk by!!!

I don't go out and tell everyone in the world to boycott them.. I don't have to!! People feel the same way about them that we do.. they are disgusting and why would I spend my hard earned money on their cd's or concerts?

If I was still raising kids at home, I'd be explaining what they did on foriegn soil.. how they aren't sorry..and discouraging them from buying a single thing they promote or make.

I'd love to tell them that even though we HATED Bill Clinton, we did not speak out against him AS COMMANDER IN CHIEF OR WHEN MAKING DECISIONS THAT sent our troops into harms way. We would never do that. We understand the importance of NOT doing that.

They were not sorry..and I saw absolutely NO remorse.. ONLY DEFIANCE.

I hope they fail..and I hope soon we don't have to see their faces on ANYTHING.

We used to think they were so talented. They have tainted that opinion forever.

BTW,.. did you notice how the Department of Defense has NO PLANS to let them tour for the troops.. I laughed out loud!!

I think these idiots honestly thought they would still be welcome!!!

Just an amazing interview. I'm glad we watched.. I almost didn't.. as I don't want to promote ANYTHING they do. But sometimes you have to see to have the knowledge of what was said so you CAN form an opinion. What they said last night.. set my low opinion of them in STONE!!

Glad we watched it.. though they disgusted me and made me sick to my stomach.

I think that it's extremely "hilaries" that these folks with time on their hands (the ones doing the disc bashing) don't stop to think that they are actually supporting the Chicks. Somebody had to buy those CD's. Where the heck do these bozo's think they came from - someone stole them ??? All your useless protests are belong to us.

Well, I was under the impression it was people that had already long since owned the CDs deciding to throw them out. At least I hope they were.
