I heard that Jennifer Aniston has made some truly bad statements about the US.

Tim Robbins was bitingly summed up in Tom Knott's article yesterday. Hillarious!

I found Madonna's video particularly offensive.

NASCAR's extensive support of at least one anti-US group has led to a letter of protest from the National Legal and Policy Center to its CEO. I find NASCAR's actions utterly offensive.

Dixie Chicks are mild compared to the others. Too trivial and only by one of them to really warrant outrage.

Would love to look up that article. Do you have the title line or something I could locate it with?

I have always boycotted The Today Show, but this morning Matt Lauer and Madonna will be on singing her new Anti-American song together, so now I am finding their sponsors and boycotting them as well.
Smuckers Jelly is the first to get hit!!!

The Dixie's problem is that they dared 'Mess With Texas'.

I know it's old news ...the Dixie Chicks...but
it really hit me in the heart...we were total fans.
Now I'm trying to unload 4 tickets to their July concert in
SandyEggo. If only there were a way to refund them
so they wouldn't get my money... I don't think her callous
remark was trivial at all.

I disagree. Big time. Maines made her idiotic comments on foreign soil, during wartime. That is bad enough. Worse still, I have a sneaking suspicion that her comments were part of a calculated strategy that badly backfired. There is an interesting thread about this.

I have no problem whatsoever with these empty-headed entertainers spouting off about their hatred for war, Bush or America. They are entitled to take unpopular stands; we are entitled to remind them that such crap comes with a commercial price. The latter is our exercise of freedom--the freedom not to give patronage to any people, products or services associated with these folks.
