CHICKS FLICK STIRS POT

WELL, at least the Dixie Chicks have the Canadians on their side. After Tuesday's premiere of Barbara Koppel's documentary about the Chicks, "Shut Up and Sing" - which is about how their fans revolted after Natalie Maines bashed President Bush two years ago - Toronto Film Festival managing director Michelle Maheux said, "This country would never allow something like this to happen." While the Canadian crowd ate up the movie, conservatives were riled up again - specifically with lead singer Maines, who calls President Bush a "dumb [bleep]" in the film. "What a fascist little bee-atch!" said one angry post on the FreeRepublic.com blog. Another called the group "the Dixie Sluts," and a third described Maines as a "classless little fat ass." The flick screens at the Woodstock Film Festival next month.

Toronto Film Festival managing director Michelle Maheux said, "This country would never allow something like this to happen."

Wanna bet? If they were in Canada and referred to Pierre Trudeau as a "stupid frog", they'd be ostracized just as they are here.

[MooseMan]

I would like to go on record against the term, "classless little fat ass."

She's a classless big fat ass.

[P-40]

"This country would never allow something like this to happen."

What does that mean? Canadinas are forced to watch, read, and listen to what the government tell them to?

[RabidBartender]

You want them, Canada, take them.

Consider it payback for Anne Murray and k.d.Lang.

[Blackirish]

HEY NATALIE!!!!!

You never EVER have to ask again.

YES ABSOLUTLY!!! you look fat in that outfit.

[Protagoras]

What can we do to fight back against this film, and the Chicks??

Don't go, don't buy their stuff, and don't even mention them. They are irrelevant and they should be ignored.

"This country would never allow something like this to happen."

What, Canadians are told which concerts to attend and which albums to buy??? Canada wouldn't let the Chicks make the statement in the first place? Fans in revolt would be muzzled? That statement doesn't make a lick of sense.

What can we do to fight back against this film, and the Chicks??

Hire these guys to spread the message:

"If you have to come to Canada to find somebody who approves of you, you MAY BE A HOSER!"

[longtermmemmory]

Canadian left wingers don't get excited during sex, how will they get angry about anything?

[Dianna]

It's awful sad that the NY Post didn't quote your post in full.

Of course, that would show you posted a substantive argument instead of just insults.

[gridlock]

I won't insult them, since we are apparently being watched by Big Brother of the Tundra. But I will say that I am enjoying their failure. They brought it upon themselves. Their failure is richly deserved.

"What can we do to fight back against this film, and the Chicks??"

Seeing as how you've only posted two threads in the eight days since signup, both about this deluded, outré trio of shunned, former Texans, with no responses from you whatsoever, I think you're jumping the gun with this "we" business.

>>turns up nothing. <<

Oh now come on! Don't let the truth get in the way of all their fun!

(but I have to say, good job!)

[peggybac]

We become riled up whenever anyone trashes the US. Conservatives love this country - liberals don't.

[netmilsmom]

>>"This country would never allow something like this to happen."<<

Bet she has no clue about our Canadian friends "Free Dominion"!!!!!

[RabidBartender]

Is Canada as politically divided as we are? They certainly have their share of shrill, impotent media; yet a conservative is their prime minister.

[CIB-173RDABN]

"This country would never allow something like this to happen."

---

The Dixie Chicks are free to speak their mind, and others are free to respond.

Why is the concept of free speech so hard to understand?

[netmilsmom]

Actually, I think they are like us.
Big cities are libs yet the heart of the country is conservative. Go here and see.

It's completely lost on them, just as with Maines whining that she has no freedom of speech unless everyone is forced to listen to and adopt her views. Any dissent and she's being persecuted.

She's got a far bigger problem with her ignorance than she does her weight.

Hi Hildy I do not have anything horrible to say about the chick's. I did like their music and still hum along to some of their older stuff. The only thing about them is that they think their entitled,go figure, to fame.Once Natalie expressed herself I chose to express myself also,I no longer listen and will not purchase their stuff. This is also true for other "stars" also.Go ahead say what you want but be ready for consequences.
