OMG, LOL, that was hilarious!
Why is it that they all seem so suprised when there are actual consequences to their right to free speech. They can free talk all they want and we will freely FReep in response. They also need to get their head out of the sand and realize it is not just people that read this site that are mad. Their record label stock price is tumbling. hehehe.

The Dixie Chicks should be ashamed of their unamerican comments.

This is funny!
When leftist become active, they are "expressing their constitutional rights" (all the while disturbing public throughways and endangering public safety).
When consversatives make phone calls and send emails, it is a "conspiracy". LOL! Funny.
Just a bunch of Punk-A$$ B*TCHES!

27Alpha C-12? I haven't gotten the new decoder ring. Can you give that code to me in the old ID-10-T format?? I am still running DOS, how can I implement new codes?
Is their new name "Texas Freeped Chickin"?
To: Jabba the Nutt
Okay guys, they've blown our cover. Time to change our code words. Go to code 27Alpha C-12. We've got to close up shop and move on to the next operation. This medium may have been compromised. This message may not have come from codename "Jabba the Nutt." Do not take any action until Mr. Big airs at 12:00 EST with his orders.
That is all.
Shalom.

In an e-mail to stations distributed by Sony Music, their label, Renshaw says the protest has been orchestrated by Free Republic. Please, do not reveal, which orchestra was used to orchestrate Freeped Blixie Chicks.
This is riot! I haven't had so much laugh since Martin's Roasts.
To: Alberta's Child
That's the first thing I thought when I saw the word "conspiracy" -- as if anything here is done in a secret, subversive manner. That's the worst kind of conspiracyk, dontchaknow, the kind where all the conspiring is done openly in full view of everybody.
Like the conspiring of the Dimocrats against the Constitutional Senate function of Advise and Consent.
Shalom.

evidently the dixie chicks are the ones hiding things,they did a photo shoot in the buff for PETA and management nixed it. Are you for real? I mean, I've been sorta disappointed about all the people calling Natlie "fat" here on FR as if her weight had anything to do with her political opinions, but I can't imagine anyone caring to see the nude backsides of any one of the "Chicks".
PETA should be glad that ad got nixed.
Shalom.

''WHAT'S THE FREQUENCY...........DAMMIT WHAT'S THE FREQUENCY?'' If you're French, and the subject is "surrender", then the frequency is "daily."
If you're Country and the subject is "Chicks CDs" the frequency is "never."

Did someone re-write the Constitution while I slept last night? No, it's been going on for years. It only gets exposed, though, when it isn't happening, such as when the Electoral College overturns a popular vote to elect a man President, and the SCOTUS decides that is Constitutional.
Shalom.

My e-mail:
Reference your article: Is Dixie Chicks protest a conspiracy?
First the Dixie Chicks manager is ranting about right-wing conspiracies (specifically Free Republic) and then he's ranting about leftists. Which is it? And can something be a "conspiracy", which normally denotes secret negotiations, when it is done on a public board?
The Dixie Chicks made a serious error. The basis of C&W listeners are those that Walter Meade refers to as "Jacksonians." They are believers in patriotism, honor, "Don't Tread On Me", etc. They drink beer and watch NASCAR. That is the Chicks _market_. Shooting the messenger may get some headlines, but it does not repair the damage. If he wants to keep having a group to manage, he had better start doing massive damage control that _matters_ to their _market_.
The Chicks took a personal stand that was entirely at odds with that market. Furthermore their "retraction" was practically designed to fan the flames. While it may be, possibly is, true that "they don't like the president but they support our troops" (paraphrase), this mantra has been used _far_ to often by people who are patently insincere. It's a mantra that to most of the Chicks' market means "the troops are babykillers and Bush is the Great Satan. I hope they all die. America deserved it."
Frankly, Sheryl Crow can get away with that; her market is split with plenty of people agreeing with the position. Chrissy Hyndes can get away with it, what the heck she doesn't have a career anymore anyway.
The Dixie Chicks can either try to get out of C&W or spend the next few years grovelling to rebuild their career. But they cannot give a mealy-mouthed "apology" and expect to survive. Among other things, Jacksonians never forget and rarely forgive.
Their manager would be better off suggesting that they start publicly grovelling and talking about how wonderful soldiers are, while avoiding the subject of Bush at all, rather than complaining about "vast right wing conspiracies."
Their market _is_ the "right wing." And it's now going to target their _manager_ as well.
What an idiot.
