I totally agree with you. I am still angry over what happened and for her to say that she has a right to her freedom of speech is a crock. Of course she does, it is how and where that she should have respected. \nHow do we teach are kids right and wrong? How do we show our kids how to respect our elders, themselves etc. when celebrities such as The Dixie Chicks set that kind of example.\nI didn't and don't like Clinton, but I still made my daughter understand that he was the leader of The Free World! Even as hard as it was after the bj!!\nAnd what kind of person apologizes, if you could have called it that, and then takes it back! Personally, I threw out their cd's and have no intentions of ever buying them again. I AM NOT READY TO MAKE NICE!!

There are a couple of news articles if you search around a bit. Looks like lame vandalism to me.\n\nAnd talking about lame... how could anyone post something about Chick Publications. It is hate filled organization bent on coercion at all costs.

Lesbians are communist?  You are entitled to your view, and they to theirs.  I thought we fought for freedom in this country.

That is a really good question.  I totally agree with you on all points.  Its always sue this person, sue that person.  What happened to freedom of speech?  No one has a sense of humor.  I am a fat woman,  I have been teased all my life.  I think fat women are the last of the species that people can still make fun of.  You never hear anyone talk about the fat bubbas laying on the beach making fun of fat women.  But so what?  I am what I am.  I'm sure not going to sue someone over it.  Or go whinning to the ACLU.

I fought so that you have the right to belittle me.  Thanks!\n\nWithout solders there would be no USA.  A military gov. that does not like us would sweep in and take our freedoms.  Regardless of how peaceful we are.  The comment of No solders= no war is just plain wrong.  History is my proof.\n\nWhen I got back a group of Marines went out looking for someone to call us baby killers.  All we found was free drinks and easy chicks. Thanks to all the drink buyers and that group of ladies on their "chicks night out".  \n\nThere is no substitution for brute force when dealing with people that wouldn't listen to reason.  I support my brothers but not the war.  I do this by challenging my local gov. to do what is right and help my fellow Marines by being a KEY Volunteer.

You are stating a classic case of, "Damnned if you do and damnned if you don't." It's a type of bigotry. What's so terrible is it emotionally bullys you till you seek relief by going against what you really believe in. What you say for yourself is just as and more than inportant than everybody and their opinion. Somebody is always going to say something, no matter what you do. Women are like a private garden, where not just anybody should be able to come in and plant and pluck. Men carry seed, and when seed is scattered here and there and to the wind, we get wayward children. I say, "GROW UP AMERICA".

H*LL YEAH, some one who speaks the truth. Dixie Chicks Rock Bush's dumn a*ss is corupt, stupid, and wasted many peoples lives. He obiously doesn't know much about war and makes lame excuses when it comes to it such as: \nthe oil excuse, look at gas prices \nweapons of mass destuction\nand Osama Bin Laden\n\nHe's like the devil

You didn't site any examples.\n\nI suspect you support the Dixie Chicks' right to say all the trash they said BUT object to anyone who uses their freedom of speech to protest & refuse to buy their albums & refuse to listen to stations that play their music.\n\nFreedom of speech goes both ways, fella!

no I admire them for saying what they did, I am sure there are many celebrities and people that feel the same way but don't want to be badly publicized for speaking their mind.  Everyone is entitled to their opinion whether it be a good one or bad one and everyone is entitled to freedom of speech. Go dixie chicks

Have you heard the new Dixie Chicks album? It is great. The Sedition Act in which you are refering to was established during World War 2, when the country was united to attack Japan after they attacked Pearl Harbor. I am sure that many Republicans would love if this were a reality, however it is not as it today will be proven unconsitutional. Why is it however that People attack stations like Air America when they report things that the main stream media is to afraid to report on?

I suppose you may have a point.\n\nBut what if someone said these things about you, could you take it as constructive criticism, or would you be highly offended?\n\nWe all have a huge mountain to climb.

I don't think the Chicks were talking about the troops as they have had songs about the military, and why should the Dixie Chicks not have the same damn right as any other American.\n\nFace it, this war is a tragic mistake started by George W. Bush. The war was officially over three years ago. Since that time we have had 2,587 military come home in body bags and another 100,000 wounded.\n\nThey want the troops home, I want the troops home. 75% of America wants the troops home, alive and well, not fighting over some stinking damn oil to benefit the rich, while they scam you at the pumps.\n\nThat's what irks me about some, they think the Constitution doesn't exist.\n\nWell is speaking your mind is so Treasonable, what would you call leaking a CIA operatives name because you didn't agree with her husband?\n\nHow about starting a war that is probably illegal and damn sure not about terrorism as there were no terrorist in Iraq before we got there, they had NOTHING to do with 9/11. the terrorist on the aircraft were Arabs, not Iraqi?\n\nThe war was over on May 1,2003 and the US had 173 KIA. Since then 2,587 came home in a body bag, 145 in the past 55 days, and over 100,000 wounded. We had 2 more killed while we were writing this!\n\nHow many does it take before those for the war get off their A__ and take the troops place?

The Dixie Chicks are a great singing group and you gotta admire them for speaking their mind on such a controversial issue. Just because what they say is grabbed by reporters and media shouldn't stop them from saying what they believe. And yes... I still like them.

I'm not a hater, do like rap despite being a 52 year old white female. It's a fairly recent thing for me, having been stuck in my hippie roots with the likes of Led Zeppelin, the Stones, etc., for lo, these many years. One day I hit the wrong button on my radio while cruisin' in my Mercury (Mountaineer) at a rapid rate. Before I knew what was happening, I was thumping to TuPac, had an epiphany, and am now a convert. The lyrics you cited hit home for me, Yahoo_guy. Check out my answer to the question about "war to Mexico" and you'll see what I mean. I think more people should get over themselves, stop hating the music, and really listen to the lyrics. People who think these views don't apply to them just haven't faced reality yet. True patriots LOVE the NATION and its citizens, not the govt. One can be proud of our servicemen and women while hating the war and despising the administration. People who are unable to make that distinction are just not too bright. I like the way you think, bruddah.

Both sides like to throw around the "stupid" label. Labels are just that: stupid. I had a little disagreement with a guy earlier about WMD's in Iraq. He went on to post a bunch of sites that backed up his claims. Of course, he had only read the headline, the actual story disputed everything he said.\n\nI wouldn't read too much into it. People let their fingers get ahead of their brain. If you do a search for questions that include the term "cite sources" you will see that most of the respondents don't. It's not stupidity. Most are just offended that either you don't agree or you DARE to question them.\n\nI agree with sunshine. The majority of what you see here is personal opinion, not documented facts. Does my personal opinion have any less weight than anyone elses simply because they do not agree with it?

Yes, many military men and women were offended.  It was one of the most inappropriate and stupid things that Kerry could have said.  However, being the proud military personnel that we are, I'd say it was handled great.  The picture is a great and fun jab back at Kerry.  It was a true eye opener for many as to how Kerry truly feels about the troops.  Kerry and the Dems will feel repercussions from this for awhile.  It's really not shocking that he said it.  He's never liked or supported the military.  Anyone that knows anything about him knows that his military career was a farce.  He's proved his ignorance once again.\n\nKudos and thumbs-up for our troops in Iraq.  I love the reply from them to Kerry!!

Exactly _what_ right do you think was violated?\n\nIt sounds like they did something you did not like - this is different from a civil rights violation.\n\nPS - it sounds like you are whining.
