>DO NOT include the part about accepting the appology at all. It was a face saving lie to cover her true feelings. All you will do is shift the burden hatting the manager.

Good point. Renshaw speaks on behalf of the Dixie Chicks and therefore we shouldn't separate him from the band in our argument. I've revised the message adjusting that sentence.

"Simon Renshaw, manager for the Dixie Chicks, recently described country music fans who complained to their local radio station about the band's controversial remarks as "radical" "weasels" acting as part of a "conspiracy". By characterizing patriotic Dixie Chick fans in such a manner, he has rendered hollow the Dixie Chicks apology and eviscerated any goodwill gained by Maines' apology. Rather than acknowledging the genuine uproar that their comments fueled, the Dixie Chicks team is engaged in denial, conspiracy theory, and scapegoating. Rather than mend fences, the Dixie Chicks' representation has chosen to engage in name-calling against country music fans. Consequently, it appears that the Dixie Chicks apology was not made in good faith. These latest comments made by Dixie Chicks represenatation disrespect country music fans and add insult to injury. The boycot of the Dixie Chicks will continue until a genuine apology is made that respects sincerely the objections that countless patriotic fans have with the Dixie Chicks remarks."

Gotta bump this one!

I do not mean to be difficult, try switching this"he has rendered hollow the Dixie Chicks apology and eviscerated any goodwill gained by Maines' apology." for this

he has eviscerated any potential forgivness we fans may have had for Maines in the years to follow, by compounding an insulting hollow appology with an insulting excuse.


I leave it to you.
