Dixie “pork rind” Chicks are not Country Artists The Dixie Chicks and especially lead singer Natalie Maines are not country music artists. They are shallow anti-American trained monkeys. I'm throwing this CD and all other pork rind music in the trash can today. I will never purchase another CD from these fat low talent loudmouths again.
I'll be quite surprised, if all your Vichy Chicks reviews are posted by Amazon. What most folks who visit the Amazon site don't know, is that the reviews and rankings are rigged. The folks who run the reviews are a bunch of apparatchiks, who post reviews by favored reviewers the next day (or reviewers from favored groups), while sitting on the reviews of people whose politics they don't like for a week or more, never posting them, or eventually posting them, and later purging them without warning, or giving some phony excuse (like you violated some non-existent rule).
They do publish some right-of-center reviews, but they are from famous, well-connected neocons like Newt Gingrich and Daniel Pipes.
I know all this, because I submitted a few dozen reviews to amazon, back in 2000. At first, they liked them, and even gave me a prize, with a $50 gift certificate, for a positive book review, with no pc implications. But then I started shooting up the charts, writing reviews that either skewered pc works like the movie American Beauty, or supported "incorrect" works. The apparatchiks would not tolerate that, and so they silenced me. (You can get away with the occasional un-pc review, as long as you pose no threat to move up to, or near the top of the rankings.)
That's how cowardly the pc apparat is; its guardians can't stand to permit dissent, even on a lousy review board. (I don't know how things are at B&N.) And so, my hunch is that, while Amazon might post a couple of token anti-Chick reviews, it will censor over 90% of them.
