Durka-Durka-Muhammed-Jihad!!
In an interview with the UK's Telegraph, the Dixie Chicks ponder why their fans 'turned on them':
How the Chicks survived their scrap with BushBut what is really amazing (since stupid is a bit harsh) is this:The Chicks can't hide their disgust at the lack of support they received from other country performers. "A lot of artists cashed in on being against what we said or what we stood for because that was promoting their career, which was a horrible thing to do," says Robison.
"A lot of pandering started going on, and you'd see soldiers and the American flag in every video. It became a sickening display of ultra-patriotism."
"The entire country may disagree with me, but I don't understand the necessity for patriotism," Maines resumes, through gritted teeth. "Why do you have to be a patriot? About what? This land is our land? Why? You can like where you live and like your life, but as for loving the whole country… I don't see why people care about patriotism."I guess it'll take a clue in Aisle Four to get them to maybe grasp why it is that their fans turned on them......duh.
This qualifies as a 'Launching a Butt Monkey'.....
And I'm still standing by my prediction that the sisters - Emily Robison and Martie Maguire - will wake up one morning, smell the coffee, and throw Natalie out of the band saying that 'she never spoke for us'.....wait for it.
(Hat tip to Little Green Footballs)
There are very patriotic Iraqis killing American troops, guess thats ok, right, being that they'r

Comments on Dixie 'Forrest Gump' Chicks Lament
Hey Mad One! How are things going? I've been lurking for awhile, but I've avoided leaving comments because my mother told me that if I had nothing nice to say ...
but about these Chicks... from the link you posted...
"There can be no rational explanation of how Maines's remark came to drive a red-hot poker into America's divided soul..."
Love it... 'no rational explanation'... :)
The chicks don't need their old fans... and they aren't going to break up, either. Have you listened to the album? It shore aint no cuntry muzik, thet's fer shore.
Sounds like they've said, "asta la vista, rednecks."

Natalie Maines is a friggin' talentless, not to mention FUGLY, moron.
I'd rather have an entire FIELD of pot plants tended by a HERD of Forrests than ONE of that bitch.
I sincerely hope Toby Keith pulls her head off and shits down her neck.

Agree or disagree with the war, the administration, border policy or state's rights, but how can you live here and not at least understand patriotism.
I've spoken about possibly leaving this country because of what it is becoming - a socialist state. But I'll always be an American, and will never renounce my citizenship, because I'll always believe in what American once was, and what it still can be. I just don't know if it will be "it" again in my lifetime.
