Natalie Maines (Dixie Chick member) Bashes Toby Keith's Patriotic Anthem

[sharktrager]

Did she actually accuse just one song of being responsible for Country Music appearing to be ignorant?

[Amalie]

This chick just doesn't know when to STFU....

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

This sow doesn't know when to keep her mouth shut does she? Talk about no tact.

[mtbopfuyn]

Yes, I see the date, however this only confirms her stance. I haven't hear any comment from her husband but after now two comments from Natalie it makes his silence even more curious with his Iranian background.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

FYI: She said this a long time ago - this is not new information. She said this about Toby Keith's tune BEFORE her London foot-in-mouth incident.

Just proves these are her true colors, and that her comments in London weren't "a joke" as she later claimed.

[longtermmemmory]

Keith is right to ignore Maines as an irrelevant mosquito. Stick a fork in her, she is done. There is nothing else to comment on with this woman. She hates the USA, she hates President George W. Bush, she has contempt for her fan base, her handlers do not "get" country music, and she is not beyond lying in apologies to achieve financial objectives. Anyone and any corporation who has any relationship with her is making a foolish marketing decision.

His song really means a lot to people in our armed forces. So when she calls it ignorant, she insults all the people that use it as further motivation to fight our wars. She is clearly hostile to the good people of the United States and our brave military families. Maines doesn't have a damn clue who comprises her fan base, and as a result, she has a lot less fans than she used to.

[Spottys Spurs]

"This Maines chick just keeps digging her hole deeper."

I couldn't have said it better!

[April19]

Anybody can write, 'We'll put a boot in your ass.'

Apparently anybody but you, Miss Maines. I remember Toby commenting to the effect; 'If Merle Haggard or Wille Nelson want to tell me it's a bad song, I'll listen. When she writes something we'll talk.'

[stainlessbanner]

Lock door, throw away key.

[thesearethetimes...]

I had heard fairly recently that her "significant other", (husband?) is of Middle Eastern descent and that they have a child together... not absolutely sure tho'

[Hatteras]

As Travis would say, "Hey Nat, Here's a quarter..."

[Hatteras]

"...If she wants to get personal about it, then I'll be her Huckleberry..."

Gotta love it!

[Rebelbase]

Hopefully, Kieth will get a chance to put a boot in Maines' ass one day.

Are you on the coast right now?

[k2blader]

It's hard to believe how incredibly stupid Maines is.

[Hatteras]

No, but I'm headed there tomorrow and they'll drag me back, kickin' and screamin' sometime early Tuesday or Wednesday. I'm doing some contract work in Durham and currently reside in Cary.

[pnz1]

I know that her husband is an actor..

[Zacs Mom]

Why stop at Liptons, particularly since they seem to feel that The Dixie Chicks' "apology" settled this matter. (see post: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/878245/posts?page=101,24 post)

Pressure should be applied where it might actually have an impact and I would suggest protests be directed to Lipton's parent company ~ Unilever

FYI from Hoover's Online ~ The Business Information Authority

Unilever

If any one company can move the Earth, it's Unilever. One of the world's largest makers of packaged consumer goods, Unilever offerings range from deodorants, fragrances to frozen foods, margarine, soap, and tea. The company's brand names include Ben & Jerry's, Country Crock, Lever 2000, Lipton, Q-Tips, Slim-Fast, and Wisk. Unilever's purchase of Bestfoods (Hellmann's, Skippy) in 2000 made it one of the world's top food firms. Unilever is whittling its brands down and has split its operations into two global units, separating food and non-food products.

"Just so ya know, having Toby Keith's boot in my ass really smarts!"

Goodbye Earl, by the Dixie Chicks

Mary Anne and Wanda were the best of friends
All through thier high school days
Both members of the 4H club
Both active in the FFA
After graduation Mary Anne went out lookin'
for a bright new world
Wanda looked all around this town
And all she found was Earl


Well it wasn't two weeks
After she got married that
Wanda started gettin' abused
She put on dark glasses and long sleeved blouses
And make up to cover a bruise
Well she finally got the nerve to file for divorce
She let the law take it from there
But Earl walked right through that restraining order
And put her in intensive care
Right away Mary Anne flew in from Atlanta
On a red eye midnight flight
She held Wanda's hand as they
Worked out a plan
And it didn't take 'em long to decide
That Earl had to die


Goodbye Earl
Those black-eyed peas
They tasted all right to me Earl
You're feelin' weak
Why don't you lay down
And sleep Earl
Ain't it dark
Wrapped up in that tarp Earl


The cops came by to bring Earl in They searched the house
High and low
Then they tipped thier hats
And said "thank you ladies if you hear from him let us know"
Well the weeks went by and
Spring turned to Summer
And Summer faded into Fall
And it turns out he was a missing person
Who nobody missed at all
So the girls bought some land
And a roadside stand
Out on Highway 109
They sell Tennessee ham
And strawberry jam
And they don't
Lose any sleep at night 'cause
Earl had to die


Goodbye Earl
We need a break
Let's go out to the lake Earl
We'll pack a lunch
And stuff you in the trunk Earl
Well is that all right
Good Let's go for a ride
Earl Hey
