Dixie Chicks CDs to be CRUSHED at Pro-America Rally
Patriotic Americans from FreeRepublic.com web site have been demonstrating at Shaw and Blackstone in Fresno every Friday since the September 11 attack on America to show their support for the President and our Troops.
Recently, while on tour in Britain, the Dixie Chicks criticized President Bush, and though they have issued a pathetic attempt at an apology, patriotic Americans are still furious.
Therefore, this Friday, March 21, at 6 p.m., Shaw & Blackstone, in addition to their normal rally cries, the group will show its disdain for the Dixie Chicks by crushing their CDs.
We are outraged by the anti American statements made by the Dixie Chicks on foreign soil during a time of imminent war, says Saundra Duffy, head of Fresno/Central Valley Chapter of FreeRepublic.com. We are sick of stars spouting anti American rhetoric thereby demoralizing our military personnel and offering aid and comfort to our enemies.
FreeRepublic.com is an interactive conservative web site whose owner and founder is Fresno resident and Vietnam Veteran, Jim Robinson. Robinson will be in attendance, as always, at Fridays pro America rally.
Visuals: Large banner, home made patriotic signs, megaphones, American flags.

As far as I know, we'll be there. We don't have any Dixie Chicks CDs though......and I sure as heck am not going to buy any. I am through patronizing entertainers who undermine my country with their asinine statements. That includes the Baldwins, Streisand, Clooney, the Sheens......all of them! They are not getting another dime out of me.

Sell them instead on Ebay, and send the proceeds to the USO Agreed. And unlike destroying CDs that have already been bought, this could actually affect them financially by depressing the market for new CDs.

Hm...I don't have any Dixie Chicks CD's, but I suppose I could buy one to crush. That would defeat the purpose though, eh? ;-)
Maybe I could buy a used CD of theirs.
Even better. don't even buy one of their CD's. Just scan the CD art and print a Neato label. Place that label on an old obsolete AOL CD. News video cameras won't be able to tell the difference.

You folks rock (excuse the pun)!

Can you please crush something of Oprah's while you are at it?

Can we move on to Cheryl Crow, now? I think she needs to feel the effects of a boycott.

More anti-VICHY CHICKS stuff. God I love it. Too bad you couldn't get a permit to use a flamethrower from WWII on the CD's and as much French cheese and Belgian chocolate as you can destroy.

I agree, we need to boycott several of these commie liberals.

To: Palladin
Good idea.
Anyone have a video of Yentl to add to the pile??
How about the entire Alec Baldwin video library??
Or a copy of one of Clooney's abysmal "films"??
: )
To: callthemlikeyouseethem
They sung the song, as many songs apparently are no longer written by the performers. Personally, until this whole issue, I didn't realize all the songs they had sung. I went out and purchased a few of their CDs this weekend because I do like the music. And while I support the troops, pray for their success, and wish them safely home, I will not destroy the CDs I have purchased nor will I sell them for donations. I like the music and will continue to listen to them. Heck, if I did that I'd have to get rid of more than half of the rock bands from the 60s and 70s CDs I listen to as well!!

We need to send a message that if they do not support our country, then we do not want them here. Love it or leave it!!!
