That's great. I love it when stupid people publicly display the true magnitude of their stupidity and crucify themselves.

Dick Chicks are toast. Good. :p

No. Toby Keith is owning the Dixie Chicks and they are pissed about it.

SUPPOSEDLY....it stood for Freedom Unity Tolerance & Knowledge. But still...they HAD to have known that it would've come across like it did, even if they WERE "innocent". Being a good entertainer, IMO, doesn't mean you should spout off your public opinion. Just like if you're a good politician, doesn't mean people want to hear you sing at the fundraising dinner.

...and I have tickets to their show in 3 weeks. :( I've having a moral dilemna about whether or not to go.

Most people only like hearing idiots talk if said idiots agree with that they think.

Absolutely nothing wrong with it.

There's also absolutely nothing wrong with the rest of us turning off the morons.

Toss Maines out for the dogs and give me the brunette on the left and the blond on the right and I'd have fun all night long!!

:D

As for their music...well...now you can see why I liken Country music to Soap Operas. So much sugar-coated, superficial C R A P

Maybe Maines and Keith will pull a Tupac/Biggie and off each other...two less obnoxious people in the world. :)

Bunch of fans crucifying the DCs again eh. I bet TK is just waiting for another tragety so he can capitalize on it too. I hate it when musicians try to capitalize on current events, it just cheapens the whole issue.

Disagree? Well, "Where were you when the world stopped turning" or when "we lit up their world like the fourth of July" (courtesy of TK) or "have you forgotten"?

The DCs do have a point, they play much better music, but they're overshadowed because these other unoriginal artists took advantage of tragic events and the patriatism of the public to gain money and popularity.

So now attacking Toby Keith is unpatriotic too? The guy's music sucks big time. Anyways, I don't remember a big fuss over Eminem bashing Britney and Christina A.
The truth is that country music industry is running over itself trying to cash in on the 9/11 patriotism surge, and Dixie chicks are raining on their parade, so they get bashed.

Do you contribute to NAMBLA?

Yes, I intentionally picked something that even the majority of liberals wouldn't support. If you don't support NAMBLA, why not? Does that make you closed minded?

It's OK to say "that's wrong" and not support it/associate with it. It's also OK to take the softer stance of "I don't agree with them, I would rather not support them."

If that makes me closed-minded, then so be it.

Ignore Impreza. He is more close minded than Texmaster. The irony almost takes my breath away.

The magnitude of the irony in that statement always catches me off guard. What is the difference between the Dixie Chicks "saying whatever [they] want to say..." and me saying that I really wish they would shut up and fall off the face of the earth?
