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."

Did anyone see them on Larry King tonight? They were on again promoting their little movie.
If anyone could make another 30 minute ass-kissing fest that did it any better, I don't know how..
I flipped it back to Ghost Hunters on Sci Fi after about two minutes..

I've said it before and I'll say it again.
Freerepublic silently but overwhelmingly affects the political and cultural chatter in every media and political corner in the USA and is seen by every pollster and pundit in the nation...even affecting things worldwide.

I love these words 'ONCE POPULAR' mentioned in the same sentence as Dixie Twits. If the group would have just kept their mouth shut instead of slamming the President, they would still be selling out at their concerts. Now their concerts are being canceled due to 'lack of interest'. I like their music but when I pay to hear their music, I sure as hell don't pay for their political comments.

I would really appreciate it, KTM rider, that you wouldn't elevate the chicks to the same level as truck stop whores. As least when truck stop whores open their moths, they are doing something productive.

The Dixie Twits' new album is labeled "UNDERGROUND". Perfect title. They should go underground and hide forever. True Americans refuse to listen to their rederick (sp?). Why pay money to see them, when going to a Toby Keith concert or buying his cds are more worth the money and time.

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

Most excellent movie trailer! Mentions and shows the name FreeRepublic.com about halfway through. That trailer will be shown in every movie house in the country. You couldn't in your wildest dreams pay for that type of exposure.

Thanks for finding the video. I was wondering if/ when they were going to post the video of the discussion. There were some things I could have said and could have said better. I just went to watch the film because it was free. I was not planning on speaking, they asked me right before the film started and I said okay.

They have a link for video of the panel, but I can't figure out how to make it work.
If it's broke, the American Progress folks could look for dependable
tech assistance.
Right here at FR!
