Ad hominem attacks do little to bolster your argument. Try telling me why they're wrong, instead of calling them names.

That's exactly why I try to stay away from any thread having to do with Iraq and the possible war. Few make arguments, and most just attack. The name calling of the Dixie Chicks is very uncalled for. Some people such as Baldwin, Clinton or Streissand deserve some of the name calling, but not these ladies.

The way in which these folks try to make their case is so over-the-top sometimes I find myself arguing against my beliefs, just because I can't agree with the tone of their ridiculous posts.

Maybe you should look into why you are so affected by people being mad at the Dixie Chicks. I think I smell personal overload here. I think people have a genuine right to be mad.Granted, you could process individually with everyone and make sure they have appropriate reactions, if you want to waste your time.
