Dixie Chicks Whine About Being Put on Free Republic's 'Hatelist'(Freeper's Proud Moment)
NewsBusters ^ | 10/27/2006 | Geoffrey Dickens

MSNBC's Chris Matthews invited the Dixie Chick on last night's Hardball to promote the new documentary Shut Up and Sing and asked them if they felt their anti-Iraq position has been vindicated, to which the Chicks responded with martyred terms of being put on Free Republic's and "Christian fundamentalist" country fans' "hate list."

The following exchange occurred on the October 26th edition of Hardball:

Chris Matthews: "Martie, I get the feeling at the time that you folks, when you made that statement and you all stood behind it and took the heat for it, that the country world out there and country music was definitely for the war. I mean, I think of Toby Keith singing that song, ‘Remember How You Felt' which is basically a pitch that if you didn't like 9/11 you had to like Iraq, that they were basically lining up and saying this was a smart thing for the U.S. to do. It turns out most Americans all over the country think it's not a smart thing that we did."

At least we don't have a regular TOp 10 Progressive Idiots, which would be a counterpart to the regular "Top 10 Conservative Idiots" one finds at DUmmyworld.

They have a hate list. They have a black, they have a list, and we were number one.

Gee, Gnat, I've never seen that list. Can you provide the link?

Note to D/C: If you can't stand the heat, STFU.

It's Ironic about this "blacklist" because while Dixie Chicks were number one target the interviewer Chrissy Matthews is a close second. Amazing how that works.

I hated them even before they gave me a reason to hate them.

I am an equal opportunity hater.

Some people just don't get free markets. FreeRepublic informs people, and people may influence each other with opinions, but it certainly doesn't DECIDE positions for people. I had never heard of the Dixie Chicks before their anti Bush comment anyway.

This is great! I can remember when there were just 20 threads on FR daily, and the Dixie Chicks were HUGE!

And now our positions are COMPLETELY REVERSED...!
