Dixie Chicks Whine About Being Put on Free Republic's 'Hatelist'(Freeper's Proud Moment)
NewsBusters ^ | 10/27/2006 | Geoffrey Dickens

Posted on 10/27/2006 10:57:40 AM PDT by tobyhill

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."

exactly....heck you used to see him on the Nashville version of American Idol and after that mess, he just disappeared. His brother does a commercial with his wife for (I think) asthma medicine or something like that. But the association with that stupid a$$ trio almost finished both of them....

When a North Carolina Democrat asked Michael Jordan to do campaign ads for him in his race against Jesse Helms, Jordan refused, uttering the infamous line: "Republicans buy shoes, too".

I can dig it.

Typical lib. They can say whatever they want and no one should challenge what they say or decide they don't want to listen or buy their music. They still haven't learned to keep their HUGE mouths shut and sing. If I had a great money making career like they did I'd have enuf brains to keep my mouth shut and keep raking in the dough! Guess I must be smarter than them! Ha!

I wrote a "ditty" just for the chickensh** twits......

There once was a fat girl named Nat,
Whose head was as thick as a bat,
Her big mouth went in gear,
and when it was clear,
She said "my career has gone flat!"

"It must be those folks on FR,
They always are going too far"
"They make up a list,
And if they are pi**ed"
"just go on and sell your guitar!"

"Your concerts just won't sell,
And the radio stations say go to he**,
You become sitting ducks,
And your music really sucks,
and my career isn't doing well."

"Now I can barely pay my rent,
'cause I made fun of the President,
my fans now are all mad,
'cause they feel they've been had,
by the stupid messages I have sent."

Does this mean we've won? Can I leave my post at the local music store now? I haven't had to chase anybody away from a Dizzie Chicks CD for months anyway.

"At least we don't have a regular TOp 10 Progressive Idiots, which would be a counterpart to the regular "Top 10 Conservative Idiots" one finds at DUmmyworld."

It would be too hard to pick a top ten. We would need at least a top 100 list.

Larry King. And Chris returns the favor.

The left considers 'protests' a good thing, except when they're aimed at the left.

If anyone ever should have opportunity to communicate directly with Natalie, please tell her that we at FR greatly appreciate the free publicity she's been giving us. Maybe we should name the next FR fundraiser after the Dipsy Twits, out of gratitude.

Call it the 'Natalie Maines Appreciation Fundraiser' or something.

And about this hatelist that FR puts out please let me know. I've been here since day one I've never seen it. Please put me on it.

On a related note, I predicted their troubles on this thread from when the controversy arose...

Free Republic's and "Christian fundamentalist" country fans' "hate list."

Talk about irony, they are doing to Free Republic exactly what THEY say was done to them.

Eye of the beholder and all that, huh?

Maybe they're just hoping to be as popular as FR is. Emulate success and all. ???

Chris Matthews doesn't know what he's talking about. Toby Keith never sang a song called "Remember How You Felt." He sand "The Angry American," not "Do You Remember," which was by Darryl Worley.

Sheesh.

The Chicks still don't get it - this is a two-way street, not them talking AT us with no response expected or accepted.
