Dixie Chicks Dibacle - Page 2

Why should you feel sorry for her? Did she not make the same kind of statement? If I called you a dumb mother f***er and everybody liked you do you think that I would be liked? I don't think so. This is the same case (only Bush isn't liked by everybody). She said something and people have their right to respond right back (As Goodman said). Freedom of Speech is still alive but if you don't want to face the consequences then you keep your mouth shut. If that is bullying or not I don't know. But when you call a bully a name you better be prepared to fight.

Americans first say that its a country of liberty. People are free to speak whats in their mind...... and then they act like this ......... confuses me atleast.

People could be ashamed of other people, and if one thinks that way, they should be honest, which SHE was, and others should learn to accept it. Just because hes The President, doesn't make him better then any other humanbeing on this planet. And she apologized later after...... which we all know, she did because of the "group's" sake. We all she doesn't really mean it. She shouldn't.

I think all of this is pathetic. She did the right thing......IMO.

I frankly wouldn't listen to radio stations which decided to boycott them...

If this were actually people individually outraged at that statement deciding to stop listening and 'burn cd's', etc. Then I wouldn't have any problem with it. Freedom of speech can net bad consequences, and people have just as much a right as individuals to not buy music as the Dixie Chicks have the right to be ashamed they're from the same state as George W.

BUT, the fact is that this is not the will of the people that the Dixie Chicks' careers are under attack. It's the doing of the GOP for starting a massive email campaign to try and incite as many radicals as they can to make noise and by huge megaconglomerates of media such as Clear Channel communications, which owns many of the stations that would play Dixie Chicks music and is publicly and intimately tied with the Republican Party.

Personally I'm disgusted at these people working to stifle free speech, not even associated with in-the-works acts such as Patriot Act II and CAPPS but just working as smear campaign workers. The Dixie chicks were just the beginning, now there are ads put out by the "Club for Growth", a republican organization, basically working to stir up some kind of public outrage among the idiot throngs by comparing two Republican Senators that SIMPLY DID NOT AGREE WITH BUSH'S HUGE UPPER CLASS TAX CUT with THE FRENCH, questioning their loyalty, their patriotism, their judgement, and I guess their heritage in their comparisons between "noble" dubya (He bravely led the nation to war.. *american flag superimposed in background*) with the 'treacherous' senator who's name I forgot (HE voted against a tax cut that would spur the economy *french flag superimposed in background*).

A little info about this tax cut.. 1/3 of the people in this country get nothing. Another 1/3 get 100$ or less.. roughly another third beyond that would get 500$ or less.. and 220,000 people who earn 100,000$ anually or more would end up getting more than 130 MILLION people who earn 20,000$ anually or less. This upper class pocket-padding is being described as economic stimulus.. hard to imagine the uppermost 1% doing anything to repair our economy.

Also note that this cut is after the 1.5 TRILLION dollar cut he'd already given to the wealthy.

Because two republican senators have said no to a 500 billion dollar cut (they didn't say no to any cut, they just wanted a smaller one) they are now being touted as unpatriotic, unwise, inept, and... *gasp* FRENCH!!

Dangerous times for the ideals of freedom.

ToxicUK · Apr 29th, 2003, 01:46 PM

1 - This is the last time ill say it. I will forever stand up to boycotting cos it a sad waste of time.

2 - FREEDOM OF SPEECH!!!

3 - I think that if someone trys to push you down you should stand right back up and push them right back cos itll teach them not to even try it.

Only my opinions...

goodman · Apr 29th, 2003, 02:35 PM

Out of curiosity, who that has posted on this topic actually has a Dixie Chicks cd? Just curious, i remember when they were playing small dives, they played down the street from me in a little joint about fifteen years ago. If you dont own a cd of theirs but you support their right to do whatever they want, then you should buy a cd of theirs to help them through the trouble they created for themselves to show how much you support the freedom to do anything and say anything against anybody...

ToxicUK · Apr 29th, 2003, 02:41 PM

I have a CD of theirs:

Home

I got it on import (its legal version i dont do piracy) and my fave song would have to be Landslide

goodman · Apr 29th, 2003, 03:52 PM

Cool, continue to show your support!

ToxicUK · Apr 30th, 2003, 12:45 PM

OK - i think ill get another of their albums soon anyways...

Preventer Wind · Apr 30th, 2003, 07:35 PM

I don't have any of their cds but my sister has all of them.

ToxicUK · May 1st, 2003, 12:47 PM
