...and of course, the real message that the Libs can't and won't ever admit, is that the reason there are no anti-war songs is nobody wants to hear them.

[catfish1957]

Well good luck...

Probably not much demand for country music in New Hampshire?

[Squantos]

Sad that anyone will go to a foreign country "for money" and act in such a manner. Ya have a complaint about something in American Politics scream it loud and clear IN AMERICA. I will die defending these big itches right to speak what they feel is right or wrong but they will have to respect my choice to never buy one of their CD's....Hell I won't even burn one of the napster clones as I never liked their squawking screaching crap anyway.

I have a very good friend that works in a major distributing hub for country music . I'll be asking him to keep me informed as to the effect on the "Vichy Clucks" sales and will share it with ya here when I get it. BTW does anyone know if any of these three are really from Texas or are they just claiming such for PR ? I could'nt find such in the on line bios. Just what state do they live in ?

Stay Safe !!

[TimPatriot]

I wouldn't mind seeing them booed off the stage once they come back to the U.S.

[SkyPilot]

The Vichy Chicks deserve every thread they get.

HAHAHAHAHA! Good one.

_{I also like the "Bill Clinton Apology Tour" line....}

Not to be the unforgiving type, but her apology is not good enough. She justified her comment and that doesn't go over too well with me. A very humble "I'm sorry" is what I want to hear. And even then, the damage is done. You can't treat military families like this in my book and get away with it. Here is my letter to her:

I'm very disappointed and extremely upset. My dad's ashes are in Arlington National Cemetery. He died for your freedom of speech Natalie. Lord willing, your son will always have his patriotic mother around, but my dad is gone and my children will never know their grandfather. Along with free speech comes responsibility...and sometimes consequences. I have seven family members in the military fighting for your freedom right now and they will be giving freedom to the women and children of Iraq who have been tortured for 30 years which you care so deeply about. 1,000's and 1,000's of liters or anthrax means nothing to you. Sharing recipes with terrorists, the same terrorists who killed 3,000 innocent Americans on September 11th, means nothing to you. HUMBLE YOURSELF! Shame on you! You tear military families down when you say crap like that. I will be removing your CD's from my collection and I will no longer support any business endeavor of yours....EVER.

[SpookBrat]

They are all from Texas and live here now. Two live in the Austin area and one lives in the Medina area.

[TheJollyRoger]

"she is ONLY apologizing because she is being FORCED too"

I also object to the VICHY CHICKLETTS using the name DIXIE.

I'm from Dixie and I do not want our name sullied by the group of prostitutes known as the VICHY CHICKS! -JR

[SkyPilot]

You letter shows your real emotions. May God bless your dad, and may he rest in the place of honor where he is.

The LEFT organizes "letter writing" campaigns too, but they are always hollow and phoney. Letters like yours are real, and that shines through.

I bet the Vichy Chicks managers is mainlining Alka-Seltzer these days....

[You Dirty Rats]

These Texans surrendered that quickly to the Euros?

If they had been at the Alamo, there would have been three survivors.

Attention Texas: Cleanup on aisle 1940. These losers aren't worthy of the Lone Star State. They need to move to Ithaca, NY.

Vichy Chicks, indeed!

[SpookBrat]

"Still, the trio "felt it was important to comment on where the U.S. appears to be heading now,"

No, actually it isn't important that you comment. I really don't give a *&^% what you think. But thanks for letting me know. Your CD is getting smashed too. My CD's have been in need of a good spring cleaning anyway.

[SpookBrat]

Oh, and another thing...this war and the war in Vietnam are two different wars you bunch of ignorant peaceniks. These people are so stupid it's embarrassing.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Dixie Chicks got their "Vicksburg" yesterday.

Let's go on to deliver them their "Appomatox", too!

They deserve to be run out of business, if for anything, two important reasons: a) it is a great psy war against the anti-Bush left in the US that thinks they are as hot as French toast with their rallies; showing the sleeping giant of grassroots America is actually pro-America and does not suffer fools and traitors easily; and b) it will send a strong message to the Entertainment Industry, teaming with traitors, to keep their traps shut and don't use their visibility for anti-American purposes, particularly when overseas and in public.

I say we do not rest until they have had their careers ruined, for these two reasons alone. Appommatox for the "Dixie Chicks"!

[Mr_Magoo]

I reserve my First Amendment right to throw rotten tomatos at 'em.

[JavaTheHutt]

The Dixie Chicks are touring Europe They should stay there. I bet they could get along with all the anti-Bush people there.

I think I'm gonna call my local radio station and ask them to play Merle Haggard's "Walkin' on the Fightin' Side of Me" and dedicate it to that midget cow Natalie.

[SpookBrat]

It just upsets me when these people of power and influence....who are anti-capitalist but make millions off the middle class who can barely pay their bills...."who assume we’re all just panting with anticipation for their latest wisdom on who we ought to vote for and how we ought to live"....don't know what they are talking about and hurt those who are protecting their freedom of speech. They make me sick.

Chrissy Hynde from the Pretenders said she hopes we get our asses kicked. Last night a young mother and wife of a Marine called into the Hannity radio show to comment. She started to cry over comments these ignorant people make. She said she faces the posibility of her husband not returning. It broke my heart.

These people make their anti-war comments but then jump in and say, "BUT we support the military". THEIR COMMENTS ARE NOT SUPPORTIVE TO THE YOUNG WIVES AND MOTHERS IN THIS COUNTRY WHO HAVE THE HARDEST JOB IN THE MILITARY!

I hate these people for hurting these families.

Mr. Mellencamp doesn't have high hopes for "To Washington," his rewrite of an old country-folk tune. The song - which will be on his next CD and can be heard at www.mellencamp.com - features new lyrics about Mr. Bush and ends by asking "What is the thought process to take a human's life? What would be the reason to think that this is right?"

I have a question of my own for Johnny Cougar:

"How does keeping Saddam in power promote peace and justice in Iraq?"

[SpookBrat]

I'm just glad I'm visiting Texas this week when she said it. The anger here is amazing and I'm thrilled. She messed with Texas pride...Texans don't forget anything.

There was someone posting on FR sometime back that was involved with the Chicks in some manner. Maybe a family member was a part of the group. I wish I could remember who it was as I'd like to hear their take on it now....

They may get their audience back or they may become a hit with the anti groups
