My rightwing co-workers are outraged by the Dixie Chicks
Living in Oklahoma is a trip. My right wing co-workers are all flipping out because the Dixie Chicks won five Grammy's. They insist that the Chicks had no right to be critical of Herr Boosh. I guess free speech doesn't extend to musicians? And as for those country music radio stations that still boycott the Dixie Chicks? They are nothing more than a bunch of musical Rush Limbaughs anyway - screw them!

5. I wish I'd taped the Grammies just for that moment of triumph
sort of like last November 7th. Boosh policies now being repudiated on a cultural level.

7. Tell 'em
You lost get over it.

Be careful what you wish for. THe RW made such a huge to do about trashing the Dixie Chicks. This is an example of what happens if the tide turns against you.

Real easy to beat up on some comment by Natalie when the wind is blowing your way (or at least you think it is). All the Freepers did was elevate them to icon status. Made them heroes for speaking out. I'd never even heard of the Dixie Chicks before this controversy.

Thank you Freepers. I have now heard of the Dixie Chicks and so has a whole lot more people. So now they are outraged. They who created the backlash that in turn created the groundswell of support. They are now more famous than they ever were. And Bush is still an embarrassment. :rofl:

8. Give them all enlistment papers.
Why aren't they in the front lines of Lord God Bush's holy war?

14. or Edwards' or Gore's or whoever our party's nominee may be.
Edited on Mon Feb-12-07 11:41 PM by countmyvote4real
If they do appear at a H. Clinton celebration, I have to believe that it will be a paid appearance because she has the corporate money to buy them.

I cannot support her because she cannot or will not come clean on her IWR vote. Until or if that ever happens she does not get my vote short of running as VP for Al Gore. (For that impossible scenerio, I'll make an exception.) All you Hillarystas must ask youself, "Why would Rupert Murchoch contribute to her campaign if she couldn't return in kind?"

That's just two strikes against her.

16. I
am reluctant to use this thread in order to cheerlead for Hillary.Or get into a discussion about your problem with her not apologizing for Bush's lies and incompetence.

So picture, if you will, freeptards in a red state having to endure the Dixie Chicks perform at the inaguration of an African American or a woman president. It doesn't work quite as well with a white male Dem president.

The purpose of my original post was to put in a dig at redstate freeptards.

17. Peace.
I think that my original response to your post was that you already narrowed down y/our choices. And then I imploded on the whole bogus argument of why are we even making these decisions now?

For me it's way too early to decide, although I do have some favorites as well as some lukewarm opportunists that I would spew from my mouth.

Franky, I don't have much faith in the Clinton dynasty. I base that on the Bush 1/Clinton 1 fake radio ads for Katrina victims. These are 2/4 backs that I don't want scratch each other.

18. At least
our last few posts helped to kick a "Dixie Chicks" thread. They deserve the recognition.

Peace to you. :hi:
