Well, I'm sure they got Registered's permission first. Heck, they probably even paid him to use it. They wouldn't steal someone's creative work, would they?

I am very interested in knowing how much of the film was shot in real time and how much of it was staged. Some of the snippets in the trailer look too slick to be real, particularly the scene where some guy behind a desk in a meeting says to the Chicks, "Try not to be so judgmental...The guy [Bush] has sky-high approval...The war couldn't be going better..."

I notice that the credits list David Cassidy as producer. I wonder what made Keith Partridge want to get political all of a sudden.

I don't know if that one in the trailer is Registered's or not, but this one is:

I think the other one was a real cover to try to get them some fans. It was airbrushed one way, Registered airbrushed it the other way...LOL

Naw, they wouldn't do that.

What a great way to find Free Republic, congrats!

Hay, this little video blurb going in so many theatres is a great boon for FR.

It actually makes Free Republic look good.

The Idjit Chicks shot themselves in the foot again.

They caught quite a bit of flack here, but he overwhelming response from Patriotic Americans all over the country was amazing.

This little blurb shows how obsessed and paranoid they are:

The problem was how the whole anti-Chicks campaign was orchestrated by a select few through a right-wing Internet site called the Free Republic.

“This wasn’t about us being women as much as it was about country music,” says Maines. “In our industry, they always blow off the liberal, Hollywood, pot-smoking celebrity. For the (people who read the Free Republic), we were their wet dream.”

According to the research done by Kopple and the Chicks themselves, the Free Republic sent out form letters to their 30,000-thick subscription list with market-specific information, saying if the station did not stop playing their music, they would cease listening to the station.

Hay Dislexic Chicks, It's a 256,695 thick list! LOL

WHOA... that was interesting! FR featured prominently, but not sure will it get favorable treatment.

I'm outta the loop... what is this movie all about... pro-Chix, anti-Bush? "fair and balanced"? pro-Bush? Is this film opening all over the country, or going directly to DVD?

I'm going to watch the trailer again...

In one article, it said their investigation showed the FR sent letters to all "30,000 subscribers" telling us to shut down the Vichy Chicks and which media outlets to target.

Goebbels and Stalin would approve of these tactics the left is using to smear the GOOD Americans.

From the website: Shut Up & Sing

The documentary shows the band from their peak of popularity as the national-anthem-singing darlings of country music and top-selling female recording artists of all time, through the now infamous anti-Bush comment, and on through the days, months and years of mayhem. The film also follows the lives and careers of the musicians through the writing and recording of their first album since "the incident"--and three years of political attack, making music, birthing babies, bonding, death threats, and laughter.

Sure sounds to me like it's a pro-Ditsy Chix, anti-war, anti-Bush Michael Moore-like film...

The Chix had it made, to try and spin their downfall to blame it on the VRWC.

Huh??? Wait a minute... I didn't get my letter from FR, did you? ;-)

FRDS=Free Republic Derangement Syndrome.

Most people with BDS (Bush Derangement Syndrome) also suffer from FRDS, and MMWS (Michael Moore Worship Syndrome).

Poor babies.

Interesting. I wonder who will actually pay to see this movie in a theater...

Those two girls in the trailer who wanted to hear the Ditsy Chicks on the radio, of course, but other than those two...
