Dixie Chicks Whine About Being Put on Free Republic's 'Hatelist'(Freeper's Proud Moment)

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."

That won't help, they already tried posing naked. They do look a little hotter on the grill though.

In general, I belive there is no such thing as bad publicity as long as they spell the name right.

If the left had ignored Limbaugh, he might not be where he is today. But they screamed bloody murder and that aroused people's curiosity.

All this does is cause more people to drop by and find out what hub bub is all about. Pretty soon they're hooked as it's better than yelling at the TV.

Chris Matthews and Martie McGuire express their feelings for each other, while Natalie Maines looks on.

from the interview Chris says...You're great, great looking too, actually."

Does he know how ridiculous he sounds as an "objective" reporter?

Hey, Sissy Chrissy was just tryin' to get a little. Ya know, hit on the fat, depressed chick 'cuz she's an easy target. Hey, I suspect Sissy Chrissy would just about hit on most anything with the right plumbing if they could get past his spittle covered corpus and his black, black... [ummmm, I was gonna say "soul" but I don't think Sissy has one- he sold it out to the Demo's long ago.]... "ego", even Helen Thomas, if he wouldn't disappear into her folds.

I posted about the Ditsy Clits before:

First rule of holes: when you find yourself in one, stop digging.

Fat Gnat is obviously too stooopid to comprehend that.

To update that a bit: She's apparently too stupid to understand why you don't pee into the wind. It doesn't take being on a "hate list" to be p!ssed on that way.

Hey Gnat, does "biting the hand that feeds you" ring a bell???

They still haven't learned to keep their HUGE mouths shut and sing.

Considering they continue to talk out of their posteriors, you sure nailed that one ;-)

I didn't know about the brother, but I know Charlie has been hitting the texas circuit pretty hard trying to rebuild

[Texas Chilli]

Where's the Free Republic hate list? I want to see it with the Ditzy Chicks in the number one place? How did she beat out Osoma, Castro, Saddam, Hamas, etc? Dang these gals are more important and influential than I ever realized./s/ These gals might be slandering this web site.

I can't believe that Larry King watches Chris Matthews. Nobody watches Chris Matthews. Maybe some of the left-wingers turn tHe station on while they go to the latrine. That must be it!

[TigersEye]

He doesn't really. He just tells Chrissy he does.

[Temple Owl]

I'll confide in you. I have yet to hear anything by the Dixie Chickens. I'm still into Johnny Cash.

[TigersEye]

I've never heard them either. I prefer Pink Floyd.

[GOPJ]

Gee, Gnat, I've never seen that list. Can you provide the link?

Simple. There is no list - they're lying.

[Rocko]

Of course.

[GOPJ]

I don't have a hate list either. I am pretty new to posting here, maybe that is why. But, you would think it would have been included in the welcome to the neighborhood package.

Sometimes the hate list is bundled with the two-for-one ice cream offers... check the pink folder in the "welcome to the neighborhood" package...

They were just entertaining us in a way that they didn't anticipate.

"They have a black"

OMG! FR has a black? And here I thought Lincoln freed the slaves. Guess we at FR should start taking lessons when a Dixie Twit starts talking./sarc

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

I've been on FR for 5 years. Where is the Hate List? Guess I missed that link on the home page.

[Temple Owl]

I vow to not listen to chickens clucnk nor will I buy anything by them. I'm stickin with pro Texans and Americans.

My husband said he was listening to a radio station in Dallas a few days ago, where a female DJ played a Dixie Chicks song - and she was fired immediately on the air!
