John Kerry could have borrowed Dixie Chicks' non-apology as seen on Oprah

Oprah.com (Transcript) ^ | October, 2006 | Oprah Winfrey Interview

[Snip from interview] ...The controversy that followed—documented in the film Shut Up & Sing—came swiftly and harshly. Radio stations refused to play their once-popular songs, conservative political commentators offered outraged judgments, they were labeled un-American and traitors...


"...We just talked about how silly it felt and how trite it felt to have to put on a show when such serious things were going on in the world," she says. "But we've always known that our job is to perform and that people spend their money to see the music and to see a show. I think a part of me knew I had to say something about it just so people don't think that we're shallow and we don't care what's going on. But I also didn't want to get too heavy because we are performers and are on stage."

Translation: Aiding and giving comfort to our enemy was misinterpreted by the public. We're not sorry for what we said. We are sorry for the misinterpretation of what we said. The conservatives are evil, blah blah blah blah...By the way, come see our movie where we will give aid and comfort to the enemy by doing a new Fahrenheit 9-11-type film that centers around our comments that gave aid and comfort to the enemy.

"...We just talked about how silly it felt and how trite it felt to have to put on a show when such serious things were going on in the world...," Natalie Maines

Question for Natalie Maines: Did you perform after 9-11? Did you speak harshly about our enemies policies during interviews after 9-11?

[Silence] Thought so.

[Question Liberal Authority]

All I know is that John Kerry's cd sales are so far in the toilet that he may have to cancel his concert tour.

[edcoil]

Maybe he and senator hatch can tour together.

[Bob J]

"We know people have the right to not buy your CDs—that's never bothered us. A true referendum on whether you agree with us or not and want to buy our music, that's all fine. What was happening was people trying to destroy our career because we spoke out," Emily says."

Not buying your albums and CD's IS destroying your career dumb-shiite.

[pissant]

The Chicksie Dicks are mental giants compared to Traitor John

[RexBeach]

Hey, don't worry girls. There's no need to be patriotic.

Nooooooo problem.

[Niteranger68]

They used their 1st amendment rights on foreign soil.

Brilliant!

The Oprah interview was a pimping plug for the Ditzy Chit's upcoming F/9-11 type documentary entiled Shut Up and Sing. According to the Chits, we are all wrong in our interpretation. Wonder how our enemies interpreted their comments? Did it give them reason to fight on?

Kinda like the John Kerry speech and press conference was supposed to be an opportunity to test the waters in '08. But did Ho Chi Minh Kerry once again strengthen the resolve of our enemies throughout the world?

"What was happening was people trying to destroy our career because we spoke out," Emily says.

Evidently, they can impugn the President and do everything to ruin his standing, but heaven forbid anyone should consider them responsible for THEIR actions. This comment, alone, shows that they are every bit as dim-witted and shallow as they are perceived to be.

[sully777]

If you love the Ditzy Chit's non-apology (and who doesn't /sarc) you'll love their latest video on Youtube.

Chits: Not Ready to make Nice

But hey, they're real popular on We, Lifetime, Oh! and all the other left-wing satellite channels.

[sully777]

Precisely what John Kerry was saying...or not saying, I get confused.

[CottShop]

'The people' weren't trying to destroy their careers, THEY were trying to destroy their careers- Don't ya just love whiners that blame everyone else for their own stupidity? - The prollem is that they're so thick headed that they couldn't take a blatantly obvious hint that what they said was wrong and affecting their careers. Someone needs to take a clue-bat and hit them upside their air-heads.

...Mao Tse was a good friend of mine
Never understood a single word he said
But I helped sing his Chicom lies
Singing joy to the world
All you boys and girls
Joy to the Vichy in that's in you and me
Joy to my buddy Ho Chi!

Natalie Maines — the Dixie Chick who made those controversial comments about George W. Bush - has kind words for another Bush basher.
"Some people call me brave, but I don't think what I did was brave at all.
Brave is Kanye West, after Hurricane Katrina, saying George Bush doesn't care about black people,"
Maines tells the December issue of Playboy magazine; the interview goes on-line on Friday.
"That was one of the greatest television moments of all time. I would never have said that.
I'm a coward compared with him. It was so honest and sincere, and he knew what he was going to say.
I would have chickened out. That was just so brave. And true."

[Exeter]

"I had to say something about it just so people don't think that we're shallow..."

And now because of your mouth people KNOW you're shallow.

[beansox]

silly... youy mean like the interview you gave on howard stern?


"Natalie is fully shaved and doesn't wear underwear.
Martie has had a 3-some with 2 guys!
Martie tried to go without underwear but found she was "too wet".
Natalie doesn't have this problem because "she's a dried up old hag" according to Marty and Emily
Natalie hosted a sex toy party, they all bought lots of stuff."

silly like that?

[beansox]

"Martie says the group's manager, an Englishman, didn't initially see the big deal either."



"Wouldn’t it be great if we had, like, [fans] burning CDs?” their manager wonders, naively, cravenly."

“We’re on the good side with y’all. We don’t want this war, this violence. And we’re ashamed that the president of the United States is from Texas.” Maines giggles at her own impudence and hunger for approval. Later, she admits, “It wasn’t a political statement, it was a joke made to get applause.”


you mean she was trying to be "silly" on the eve of war when such serious things were going on?
