****I think people are paranoid," former Grateful Dead member Mickey Hart told Reuters. "I think that if they speak out, they think they're gonna get whacked by the government. It's pretty oppressive now. Look at the Dixie Chicks. They got whacked."****

Excuse me Mr. Einstein how did the government whack the Dixie Cows. What happened is the people who listen to country music radio station decided they didn't not want to listen to the Dixie Cows anymore. This comment clearly demontstrates how soft, thin-skinned and shallow most leftist are.

Wow, I missed the "by the government" in that comment. I guess the article had two sideways "censorship" slams without actually saying the word.

I would love to have someone, anyone, show me even the lsightest, smallest, barest piece of any kind of evidence that the government was involved in the "brouhaha" that erupted after those comments were made.

Oh, I forgot, Bush and Cheney instructed JimRob to send out anti-Dixie Chicks stuff on the Official Evil Free Republic Blacklist Mailing List of Doom (which I am still not on, apparently -- what up with that?).

Prime example how these lefties manipulate the truth! "The government is oppressive" he says, but he convieniently leaves out the fact that the government had nothing to do with the Dixie Cows bombing! Someone should write this buffoon and ask him to present even ONE example where the government did much less said ANYTHING to the Ditzy Bitches! This stuff drives me crazy! It`s just blatant blatant blatant flat out LYING and they never get called on it.
