I would like to hear the Dixie Chicks explain why they are ashamed that the president is from Texas. What is it about Texas that makes them proud to be from there? What is it about Texas history that makes them believe that the approval of Europeans matter?

Does Natalie believe that only Texans should enjoy the freedom of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness? Does she believe it is ok to intimidate your people into silence by cutting off the tongues/hands/legs/etc of those who dissent?

Well, people are burning their CD's today in Kansas City.. And how does burning Dixie Chick CD's after you have bought them hurt the band?

It shows strong opposition towards the band. People are wasting their money by burning the CDs to show their disapproval of the Dixie Chicks political views.

Agreed. Owners of Chicks w/ Dicks CD's should be putting them on Kazaa for others to download free, and/or burning dozens of copies of their latest release and leaving them in shopping malls, marked "FREE DIXIE CHICKS CD!"

Apologies are cheap. They must do all they can to cut themselves loose of the Blixie Chicks.

Indeed. Just like the form-letter mouthings of the customer service bozos at MCI - about Danny Glover. The only way to get their attention is to hit their sales. Email them a picture of Luzianne Tea, an excellent substitute for Lipton - and maybe we can even get Lucianne Goldberg to take a high-level position on a switch-to-Luzianne campaign.

Southerners drink a lot of tea - and if we all collectively move to Luzianne - we can get those smarmy and insincere corporate clowns to cut the Blixie ditzes loose.

I'm just pointing out you're wrong, and what she did is close to being treasonous.

This nonsense of "disagree with bush and your a traitor" is really old and completely idiotic. I guess all of us were traitors from 1992-2000 because we didn't support Clinton. Oh, what's that? It's different when a Republican is in chharge? That's what I thought.

The words "traitor", "treason", "anti-American" and the like have been thrown around so much that they have as much meaning as "racist", "homophobe", and "hate crime".

Its funny that so many people calling themselves "conservatives" have embraced the keyword shout-downs typical of the left.

I watched part of an interview with the Dixie Chicks a week or so ago. They said that CD sales provide very little income to them. They get an extremely small percentage of the CD price.

They said that they consider recordings as loss leaders in order to sell tickets to the concerts. That is where they make their money, not on CD sales.

I don't know if it is true, but it is what they said.

Natalie Maines does not know what just hit here. Her home town is fed up with her remarks. Many of us are sending our cds back to Sony.

The local radio stations were so against her today and said she is not welcome HOME! She should have kept her voice to singing. She is certainly, not a Texan to the majority of us.

By the way, they say she and Sheryl Crow are big buddies. So maybe they can move to Iraq and take the rest of the over paid Hollywood Elite with them.

YEAH BUSH! WE support you.

Telling Lipton that you won't buy their products because of the spokespeople they have hired it perfectly legit. Just Like Glover and Sheen they to are being protested against because they opened their mouths and showed the world what goobers they are.

I am perfectly willing to hear this Bands apology for acting like an ass ,overseas,why we are in great stress in this nation.

I don't see any reason to call them sluts or whores or jihadists,that lowers the debate and makes you look like you embrace the scorched earth policy of the left.

No, just a gentelman and a true American who is very angry and disgusted with the uncalled-for hatefullness displayed on this website today. From the disgusting name calling to pictures altered to show them wearing swazticas, its all truly sickening.
