Dixie Chicks Flick Is A Good One -- If Free (FR Mentioned)
U.S. News and World Report ^ | 10/25/06 | PaulBedard

Posted on 10/25/2006 8:55:50 PM PDT by conservative in nyc

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."

Oprah and Larry King, both threw them cotton balls.

It was sick and both O and LK kissed their booties. It is a shame that Natalie thinks she is so smart. She did go to South Plains Jr. college for a year!

The image I have of the dixie chicks is a trio of trailer trash peroxide jobs tripping over a couple of cases of empty long necks, desperately trying to find that last, warm Lone Star.

That is a grevious insult to trailer trash everywhere.

I know Oprah had the chicks on yesterday, right after Madonna and I couldn't click the remote fast enough. Oprah, Larry King, Olberman et. al. have sure done their job in getting liberals on their shows during the past month. Shills all.

Thanks for the reminder about Anita Bryant, I have to admit I HAD forgotten about that little episode of homo-agend-erated liberal intolerance.

Here's another one, a little more recent, Dr. Laura.

Oh, you don't have to tell me. In 2000, was front and center here on FR when the Gay-stapo went after her.

Just when the sliming of Dr. Schlessinger began, I discovered a USENET posting from the radical homosexual movement's smearmeister, John Aravosis, who created StopDrLaura.com back in 2000 and who currently is one of the guys behind the threat to "out" gay Republicans in the wake of the Foley scandal. To stop the production of what later proved to be Dr. Laura's ill-conceived, short-lived daily talk show, Aravosis had suggested methods to harass executives of Paramount Television until the show was cancelled, including denial-of-service attacks on email and fax accounts and confronting them when they went out for lunch and dinner.

Outstanding job.

I liked the moderator announcing you first as "spokeswoman" for FR, a "politcal blog". Heh.

Seems you riled up the audience, too. One lady calls FreeRepublic "loonytunes" and then Cynthia McKinney's husband goes bonkers on you and FR. Funny stuff.

Your demeanor and politeness killed 'em.

Makes us all proud.

HEY! Cut the chatter, ForceFR. Loose lips, y'know.

Some of you've already put too much in print, but we can't redact it after the fact 'cuz pre- post- redaction web cap's would confirm which parts are sensetive info.

For now: focus.

That's right. We have the freedom of speech but that does not mean we can't get our a$$ kicked for what we say.

"I want to know more about the FreeRepublic mailing list by which we get our marching orders. I keep asking my mailman but there's never anything from Command Headquarters in Fresno."

Check your attic for tin foil (sometimes on the insulation)...
I get my orders in my sleep.

I was imagining the guest stars of the tv show COPS, but it just didn't have a poetic ring to it.

Don't believe anything you hear or read about our marching orders.

Actually all orders are cut and pasted using Elmer's Glue All out of an old set of Funk and Wagnel Dictionaries found in the Alpine, Kalifornia garbage dump.

Oh! the chief order cutter works at one of the few commercial businesses in town.

I'm not allowed to divulge the name of where he works but it rhymes with True Value.

"I've decoded the most recent one and it says, "dlpu cl vivitz snizzle doby." I haven't figured out what that means yet."

Come on, didn't you watch "A Christmas Story"?

Transolated the message means:

"Drink more Oviltine!" :o)

Great movie!
