Dixie Chicks Flick Is A Good One -- If Free (FR Mentioned)

Talk about cajones: FreeRepublic.com's Kristinn Taylor's got 'em. How so? the conservative website led the outcry against the once popular country band Dixie Chicks when singer Natalie Maines screeched how she hated that President Bush hailed from Texas. Well, last week at the Washington première of the Chicks' decidedly anti-Free Republic documentary, Shut Up and Sing, Taylor showed up. But he wasn't kicked out, reports our Elizabeth Green. The hosts at the lefty Center for American Progress invited him to join the group discussion, where he told the director the movie was a good one.

Why go? "This was a chance," he tells us, "to see it for free."

Well up north of the border, our friends are Freedo Minions.

Thanks for the link. I never watched them before. Good voices for singing. The main chix True viciousness is shown in the last comment of the preview. She quotes the President then in an arrogant, disdainful, angry tone says, "What a dumb" and they cut off any more of her words.

So glad Kristen got in for FREE!

"My orders must of gotten lost in the mail."

I shouldn't be telling you this. Shh.. It's a secret. On yoiur next donation letter from the RNC, scratch off the lower left corner. There you will find a website address to visit.

Once there you will be given further instructions. The code word is NIXON.

"The last one I decoded was just a crummy commercial for Halliburton."

I decoded mine but nothing happened. Later that night I woke up with a strange feeling. Not knowing what I was doing, I got dressed, got my wallet and drove to the 24 hour Walmart where I bought a shotgun and got a bird hunting permit.

When I woke up in the morning, I had this strange dream that I went to Walmart and bought a shotgun. Later in the morning, I called my friend up to say hello and he asked me to come out to his ranch and go bird hunting.

I said, "Richard, I don't have a gun." He said, look in your trunk.

Liberals just can't see down the road. Nat, in just over 2 years, George Bush will be out of office. And all it will have cost you was several million fans. Does that sound smart?

I have no problem with your "free speech" bashing everything we like. It's just you look sofa king we todd did when you act all shocked that folks don't want to hear you. Ya'll were on track to the be the Beatles or Eagles of modern country, now you're a nobody band that only bitter English professors listen to. Buh-bye.

[MortMan]

Well, I'd say you are supposed to find someone named doby and snizzle them. It's a training mission!

[pepperdog]

Even if you should receive it you won't be able to interpret it if you haven't gotten you decoder ring. You do have that don't you?

[Mr. Lucky]

I got my decoder ring in the mail just this afternoon. The important message is being decoded just now:

Remember to drink your Oval...

[The Mayor]

Oh those poor children had their feelings hurt..

Bully...... : )

[RobFromGa]

Great job Kristinn! Have another "Citizen, Not Spectator" trophy to go with your full shelf of them!

[CedarDave]

True viciousness is shown in the last comment of the preview. She quotes the President ["they shouldn't have their feelings hurt just because people won't buy their records"] then in an arrogant, disdainful, angry tone says, "What a dumb ..." and they cut off any more of her words.

Natalie's face contorted to something between a sneer and a snarl when she said those words.

[AmericaUnite]

I'd never heard of Beccy Cole. Her song was so beautiful. I cried. Here is a singing talent who gets it. She performs in the tradition of Bob Hope and Ann Margaret.

[Mr. Silverback]

That Richard, he's one slick dude!

[CedarDave]

There's two FR threads out there about the song and Beccy:

Beccy Cole - "Poster Girl" on the Wrong Side of the World ^

A music video the Dixie Chicks would hate ( Supporting the Diggers in Iraq ) ( Aussies ) ^

[Mr. Silverback]

I love that Natalie Maines, high school graduate, calls the holder of a Harvard mBA a "dumb @#$%." That's good laughs all by itself, but dig this: The reason she's calling him that is because she's just watched a clip of a press conference where he said the Chicks have the right to say what they want about him but their fans get to have free expression too. So, she's basically saying he's dumb because he respects the Constitutional rights of all Americans.

Poor kid's dumber than a post.

"Goons (2004) tearing a sign out of a little girls hands and ripping it up..."

[tgslTakoma]

Thanks for posting that photo. I couldn't remember if the goons in that assault were union goons or generic 'RAT goons. I knew a Freeper would find it for this thread and refresh my memory!

Liberal goons tear signs out of little girls' hands.

Natalie and the DCs are big girls and all that conservative Americans did to them was stop buying their music.

[JFC]

Natalie thinks they have the swing of the people's opinion right now.

larry King and oprah in the same day.

[kristinn]

No mention of Anita Bryant. Good point to bring up in the future, though. Thanks.

[Mr. Silverback]

If these gals were a little smarter, I'd figure they were counting on Americans to be dumb. After all, what's dumber than thinking someone's being persecuted and deprived of their rights when they give a bunch of people the finger and those people decide not to spend money in a certain place. I mean, they screwed a segment of the fans who stayed with them, and we're supposed to feel sympathy?

When will Oprah have Don and Teri Adams on, or Billy Dale from Travelgate?
