"The most amusing part of this puff piece was where the Dixie Chicks questioned the Dixie Chicks' patriotism."
From Today's Drudge Report - Article Headline:
In their stupid unpatriotic minds, they think this course is a good idea. My God, they are idiots.
Ho ho ho! Scrap with Bush? They were the only people "scrapping". Now that their tour is tanking, they know what a scrap is.
I wonder if this has hurt Charlie Robisonss' career. He has been rather quiet on this issue. If he were four square behind the chicks, he would have it out there out front. My suspicion is he sees millions costing his wife and him for sake of a temper tantrum....Pride is very deleterious.
Someone dangle some big macs in front of them to shut them up, please.
The dixie chicks are just another example of the success one can have with little or fading talent as long as you make enough left wing flatulence. Brings to mind that old hag, BS. There are enough moron lefities out there to keep them somewht afloat, until some other leftie darling comes along to divert the hive's attention.
Don't you get it? When Liberals lose, they call that a victory. (San Diego, Cunninghams seat) I predict another big victory this coming Nov.
You stupid little twit! It's patriotism that's motivated millions of men and women to fight and die for the rights that you so casually exercise and dismiss!
I could go on, but it would get me banned...

"A lot of pandering started going on, and you'd see soldiers and the American flag in every video. It became a sickening display of ultra-patriotism."
Cashed in? Am I understanding this right? Are these twits trying to take credit for patriotic songs & videos after March 2003? Full of themselves, much? I'm pretty sure this was about supporting the men & women of our military NOT about making a statement against THEM. What morons. I heard very few country artists say anything about them at all. On the other hand they had a lot to say about their fans & their peers. As far as Toby Keith goes, these idiots picked THAT fight. The big dog DOES bite doesn't he, girls? LOL. As far as country songs & videos go, they were supporting the troops & this country. That's called patriotism. But the twits don't believe in being patriotic. That doesn't make us wrong, it makes them a disgrace.
Nice hyperbolic spin, but these idiots haven't survived a thing. I heard Greensboro, NC is the latest "postponement". But maybe if all their shows are "postponed", they will have more time to work on that "Fifth Avenue elegance" LOL. Keep it comin' ladies. You're entertaining us for free.
If Bush was like Clinton, and the DixChicks attacked him, they'd be too busy fighting for their financial lives with the IRS and attending funerals of close associates.
A person would need that problem like a hole in the head.
ROFL. I guess Mane's fat ass is from eating to much foie gras then.
Translation: I despise freedom, human rights, democracy, and capitalism, and God and His absolute morality, and every thing else good that America stands for. Give me that good old communism, authoritarianism, humanism, atheism, and moral relativity every time. That way I can do whatever I want as long as it feels good.
Thanks very much to you both for saying so...after reading this thread, I can see I am not the only one who feels this strongly about the asinine mind set adoped by people like the Dixie Chicks.
The thing is...the Dixie Chicks think they got to where they did on the basis of talent alone. The fact is, it is the American way of life, American history and the structure and environment in the USA that has laid the road for them to get to where they did. Think they would have been a big hit in France or Syria?
Patriotism is the mindset of remembering that America helped you get to where you are, as did all the military people who fought and died to guarantee the freedom to travel that road to success.
Patriotism means always saying thank you to America and the people past and present for making our wonderful lives possible.
What a Great Quote!!! I never heard it before!
Assuming they had said anything that would have given him heartburn.
xarmydog, I wonder how Natalie's dad feels about all this. He's a very famous steel guitar player. He was one of two steelers on the Byrds "Sweetheart of the Rodeo" album. He produced all their earlier cds, but not this one. Hmmmm......
So you are saying that the current Dixie Chick crowd and fans are the ones who order Roast Duck with Mango Salsa.
Someone should post the picture of the cavemen from the Geiko commericals with a subtitle "Dixie Chick fans"
LOL. Can't have one of the Chicks saying, "I don't have much of an appetite, thank you".
That commercial kills me.
