Why their career really tanked, in Maines' own words...

"...but if you live in Lubbock, Texas, where I'm from -- you just have one paper and one radio station and unless you're savvy on the Internet, that's it for you. If Bush said get a gun and kill an Arab, they would do that."

After watching this footage, Maines then repeats the president's comment and says, ''What a dumb f---.'' She then looks into the camera, as if addressing Bush himself, and reiterates, ''You're a dumb f---.''

"The entire country may disagree with me, but I don't understand the necessity for patriotism," Maines resumes, through gritted teeth. "Why do you have to be a patriot? About what? This land is our land? Why? You can like where you live and like your life, but as for loving the whole country… I don't see why people care about patriotism."

"I'd rather have a small following of really cool people who get it, who will grow with us as we grow and are fans for life, than people that have us in their five-disc changer with Reba McEntire and Toby Keith. We don't want those kind of fans. They limit what you can do."

"Just so you know, we're ashamed the president of the United States is from Texas."

When someone insults their fan base, how can they expect those same fans to buy their music and attend their tours?
Not buying their music is no more censorship than a liberal not buying a conservative's work.
How many liberals bought a copy of Ann Coulter's "Godless"?
It's not censorship.
It's just common sense.
