The Dixie Chicks came through Dallas last week, and all the reviews were about their brave stand for free speech and all the TV reports were about how the concert hall was filled with people still supporting them (big surprise: who else would show up? It's like being surprised to find a big crowd of idiots at a Democratic convention). But it doesn't cut any ice with me. I'm a former fan who'll never support them again.

Bad enough they badmouthed the commander-in-chief on foreign soil on the eve of war, but even if I were willing to forgive that, they've since shown their true colors by dropping the weepy contrition act and twisting this incident into an unforgivably shameless marketing ploy. At a time when real patriots are risking their lives for this country, they've been posing as martyrs because other people dared to criticize their moronic comments, dedicating songs to Michael Moore in concert, popping up in Congress to attack radio stations for daring to exercise their own free speech rights, and of course, wrapping themselves in the flag and the Constitution (when they're not posing naked on the cover of Entertainment Weekly.) I used to think maybe they were just naive liberals who shot their mouths off and were sorry, but all they are is self-serving, opportunistic hypocrites. To hell with them.

Excellent comments! It’s not surprising to hear socialist, Hollywood elitist types excoriating the public for disagreeing with their comments and/or acts. They even to go as far as to claim their First Amendment rights have been infringed, simply because the buying public no longer wishes to hear their socialist rants or buy their products.

That’s to be expected, as their understanding of the Constitution is clearly limited and by far outweighed by their anti-American sentiments.

But to hear a Senior Senator, and Republican to boot! espousing the same was entirely unexpected. Then, again, we’re talking about John McCain, as big a sore loser as Al Gore ever was.
