MSNBC's Chris Matthews invited the Dixie Chick on last night's Hardball to promote the new documentary Shut Up and Sing and asked them if they felt their anti-Iraq position has been vindicated, to which the Chicks responded with martyred terms of being put on Free Republic's and "Christian fundamentalist" country fans' "hate list."
The following exchange occurred on the October 26th edition of Hardball:
Chris Matthews: "Martie, I get the feeling at the time that you folks, when you made that statement and you all stood behind it and took the heat for it, that the country world out there and country music was definitely for the war. I mean, I think of Toby Keith singing that song, ‘Remember How You Felt' which is basically a pitch that if you didn't like 9/11 you had to like Iraq, that they were basically lining up and saying this was a smart thing for the U.S. to do. It turns out most Americans all over the country think it's not a smart thing that we did."

We're an "organized machine"? She's obviously never seen a crevo thread.
Well, at least one of them still is!
ditto!
Doc
What Chrissy has done has either intentionally, or otherwise, confused that with the song in the seventh season of south park where the kids attend an anti-war demonstration. Here is a link to the dialogue..you gotta scroll down a little to see it, but dangit if that isnt' what Mr. I sit to pee did..

Scross down a little..you'll see...
He must mean Darryl Worrley (sp) "Have You Forgotten".
Has anyone told them yet that there is a price when you bite the hands that feed you? With Natalie,it is mostly a really bad idea!
Mind you, my car and house are Shania-free zones, and I change channels as soon as I hear her songs - just don't like them.
1995's "The Woman In Me" sold over 12 million copies
1997's "Come on Over" sold over 20 million copies
2002's "Up!" sold over 5.5 million copies (though the RIAA lists it as 11 million, since Up was a double album)
I think she is currently working on the next album.
LOL
I suspect the Natty one has a whine list on her PDA.
I don't hate the Ditzy Chix, I just don't like them, and I especially don't like them going overseas and damning our president and or country.
I've seens calls for a boycott of them, but in a Free Republic, you are free to call for anything. Doesn't mean you're going to get it, but you can call for it.
If the Natty One & the Chix want to blame anyone for their declining fortunes, then I suggest she/they look in the mirror.
What a bunch of disgusting whinie crybabies blaming everyone else for the problems they created for themselves. Typical stinkin liberals
I agree - I'd forgotten Darryl Worley's song until that post.....don't why I would forget though - I absolutely love it! I'd be willing to bet that the song the little fat man was thinking of....
We could send you the double super secret hate list but you will need the premium level decoder ring to read it. I sell these to those who wish them through my Liberian based web site.
KSJ here in Mobile said that if they had enough requests for their latest songs, they'd consider playing them. Obviously, they never received any requests because they're still not playing them.....
I remember the Chicks failed miserably in the 2004 Vote for Change (read: Please Elect Kerry) Tour. Even paired with James Taylor, they couldn't sell out 3500-seat venues.
What a dismal failure that Vote for Change tour was.
Yeah, it has the lyrics:
Do you remember,
How you felt that day...
But it doesn't imply support for the war in Iraq, like Matthews suggests.
Oops, did Chrissy lie, again?
Can some one post a link to the "Official" FreeRepublic hate list?
Inquiring minds.
Charlie Robison nearly got gutted by association, thanks to his wife.
The Chicks are Hollywood wannabes. They forget who was buying their music. Shows you what can happen when you open the big old pie hole. Nats especially. Hey there is always a price, but people shouldn't gripe when the payments due! Fact of life!
1. Dixie Chicks Yesterday
2. Dixie Chicks Today
3. Return to top of list and repeat
There you go...
