What She Really Said - Comments Page 3

If you've been following the Dixie Chicks' saga - and based upon the traffic and comments, in the days just before the war, few were concerned with much else - you know that after Natalie Maines slammed President Bush in London, she apologized the next day.…

Whats she gonna think of the president then????????????

    if you are going to limit a persons "freedom to hate" you are going to have to find an effective way of legislating emotion. i disagree with hate crimes too, but once legislation tries to find it's way into the very personal realm of my emotions i am afraid it has overstepped it's bounds.

    but isn't that what hate does? I don't mean 'dislike'. I mean blind hate.....

    >Posted by: Tigressof Texas They teach patriotism in Texas. Natalie Maines must of missed it. Also she does not have a clue to what her she is saying she is from Austin one of the Biggest party towns and home of the Bush girls. I dare her to show her face around town. I bet she hung with them. But also this is the same person who has chicken feet tattoos on her feet. So maybe she has a brain the size of a chicken. <

    Hell yeah, they teach patriotism in Texas, but they also teach freedom of speech or were you absent on that day.

    I can promise you sweetie, that if Miss Maine was to come to town in Austin she would be warmly welcomed and commended for her remarks. As for the Austin comment, maybe that is why dubya wanted to be governor there since he is no stranger to whiskey and coke. To bad he did not have the insight to take a couple of classes in grammar, and geography at UT while there.

    Tigress of Texas, I sure hope you sign up for a class at UT too and learn the true meaning or patriotism, the Constitution of the United States, and a course in manners 101 wouldn't hurt you either. Anyone can voice their opinion about the president, and it is not called unpatriotic.

    By the way sweetheart, the chicks are still riding high on the charts with their brand new album, so someone must agree with them.

    yes. and the dixie chicks would not have caught the flak they have if they played industrial goth music because the audience paying attention to them would have cared much less. the meat and potatoes audience of the dixie chicks is much less forgiving of anyone who dare question the authority of the commander in chief. you see we expect as much from "long haired coke addicts" wearing tight leather pants and too much makeup. the dixie chicks though were america's girls so the percieved hurt is so much more. hey i still like the chick's music, they are great musicians (two of them are anyways) and i dont think the US should be involved in a lot of the foreign policy it has entangled it's self in. the main faults i see with the remarks which have sparked such controversy is that they were inarticulate and insincere. i think she was jumping on the anti-war hollywood bandwagon. the article posted above if it is accurate sheds a new light on the anti-war movement and it's motivations.

    I continue to see how people say we should back Georgie Boy, but he isn't the one fighting neither are his precious 'sober' little girls. It was Bush's idea to throw us head first into this war and no matter how its paraphrased the fact of the matter is that his only justification is that 'some' lives lost now are better than 'some' lives lost in God knows when(the future). That reasoning is pretty thin if you ask me. I love being an American and get this I'm BLACK (whoa!) but I do not agree with Bush or his regime, my bad, I mean advisors. I completely back the troops, they have a job to do, I do not support this folly of a war, especially when North Korea has weapons of mass destruction (admittedly)and paranoid Pyongyang is sitting on an itchy trigger finger and poor saddam (little s) is just a big man with a small labido who is trying to over-compensate who coincidently runs the world leader in oil production. Co-inky-dink maybe?.

    Our celebrities, especially our artists, should be more political. In days of old you could look to the song writers, poets, and authors to speak out against the imperfections of our society be it right or left wing, right or wrong. We the people looked to them for that purpose but now we have become complacent, when if truth be told we should be concerned that more of our pseudo riche have not spoken out about the world around them. Probably too busy detailing their benzes(little b), but I digress.

    Natalie Maines had every right to speak her opinion not only on the grounds that that is what this country is built on, but ironically because that freedom is one we are trying to afford the Iraqi people.

    Wow, so thats your criteria for a president. Obviously you do not know much about dubya, frat boy, (skull and bones), heavy drinker, one business failure after the other. This is a man who couldnt find oil in Texas. You go nuts when someone makes a statement about this goverment but you turn a blind eye to the lies, dirty dealing, and coverups that this goverment is responsible for. Look up info on dubyas "military career". His daddy took care of the dirty little messes that dubya made. God help us who is going to clean up this mess.

It's always interesting to me how so often those who oppose liberal viewpoints resort to name-calling and finger-pointing...Ack! call me a liberal..noooooooooooo!!!! *gasping for air here, mortal damage inflicted* It's such an effective means of validating their own knowledge!

    But really, this is satire, but even if it wasn't, we have the right to speak our minds, we have the right to express our opinions, and we have the right to bash or support our president, who probably has the lowest IQ of any president in history.

    Wish Natalie had said it... I'd have ten times more respect for her. The conservatives in this country were merciless in their nasty and personal pursuit of the Clintons. In 20/20 hindsight, they should have done what Cheney and Karl Rove did when questioned about their meetings, practices, etc.... arrogantly ignored us "little people" as not deserving of an answer.
    I'm sick and tired of flag wavers telling people with differing opinions that they are un-American. The right to dissent is the essence of America... aren't we pretending that we're going to Iraq to liberate the people there so they can have differing opinions? Listen up right-wingers--this time you can't usurp the flag.... we all get to keep it, whether we agree with you or not. If you're not comfortable with that, then this time you can "love it or leave it". We're sticking around!

    I just spent way to much time reading this. It amazes me that people could rant and rave about anything this long. Who cares what she said, she is a person who is permitted to speak. All day yesterday they were showing protesters of the war, they got to say what they wanted and some of it was beyond stupid!! The say that war is killing the innocent men, women, and children, I agree it is. But what did "so dame insane" do to his own people?? The not so funny thing is that right in your own very country, killings and abortions and every other evil of the world, that happen go on with no protesting. What if all the celebrities spoke out against these things would we all spend this much time talking about it?? The USA is a good country, no such thing in the best till there is no hate, killing, anger and just plain evil no longer exists.

    hello there if not supporting prez bush for brains is not good for american moral then what the hell are the fighting for in iraq because last i heard we are trying to help those who don't like being put to death for not agreeing with there leader so must we like our prez no... we put up with him because people in florida can't read a ballot ( because another bush sits in goverment office perhaps )anyway i love my contry and everything about it yes i am ashamed bush speaks for our country as its leader but i know that he can't kill me for that opinon but can the people of iraq say the same . if you past a parent beating there child in front of you would you walk by and say it was none of your bizzzzness that they have different parenting skills as you that eventually the kids will get enough and do something or let somebody else deal with it ... or would you help the child ( especialy knowing that if you don't the child can come to be just as abusive if not more than the parent) i hate war but i hate hitler , saddam , stalin, and any other who kills innocents for sex, religon , race,oh and eye color...bush will eventualy go down in history like his daddy as far as him being honest well lets see he is a drunck he is still a drunck but according to him he is cured .. i don't know much about texans but around the rest of the way just because you don't drink anymore doesn't take the problem away remember one day at a time not i quit so i'm done your not cured mr. bush head jr. just dormat till then honesty is just a step away from being totaly sober...

    Freedom of speech - lovely thing all over the world. Perhaps the reason why I object to what the US is doing, is the people inside the US who promise/threaten to "wup ass" of anyone who disagrees with this action; slandering their own celebrities, Canadians, French or anyone else who disagrees.

    In regards to slamming the prezz, well too bad, comes with the job. All your reviews can't be good.
    In regards to the war, well if it weren't for the tragic loss of life, this would almost be comical. From the looks of things the Iraqi's don't have to fire a shot. We will beat ourselves. And we are still no closer to finding and removing Saddam. Oh yeah this is going real well.
    I suspect in the long run,Natalie's remarks are going to be the least of dubya's worries.

If she has so little respect for the people (Rednecks in her mind) that have supported her over the years, why did she ever choose to sing country music. I hope she has enjoyed her fame up until now because I can't see her ever being able to recover from this.

No president has ever been free from criticism and that is the price you pay for being the president. Everything you do effects a group of people who have their own minds and the right to speak them. She was stating her opinion which other people in this world share with her She is a HUMAN BEING let her be. no one else has to apologize for having an opinion so why should she be any different.

    I swear that there is nothing in our history that is more deplorable than trying to 'change' another human being into your own way of thinking...whether it be governments or religion, our past has dictated that we are not learning from our mistakes, hence we shall keep repeating them. No country or way of life is perfect or the 'right way'. Whether you are a brainwashed American or a brainwashed Iraqui...we are all imperfect creatures trying to figure out what the hell we're doing here in the first place. People, life is too short to be clashing and trying to change each others minds...we're all individual with basic human rights. No one person is any more important than another...I hope one day we all learn this.

    I think everyone needs to relax. My god. Yes, Maines has every right to voice her opinion. This is America. Granted, it was not a nice thing to say, bashing our President to another country, it doesn't make us look great. But she is an American, she has a right to voice her own opinion.
    However, the people who are standing up for our President and boycotting the Dixie Chicks because of this, have EVERY RIGHT to do so as well.
    And you people writing from other countries, mind your own business. Do you not have better things to do? Don't you have your own controversies?! Butt out.

    OK, all Chicks defenders, you helped to make them rich, now, listen to what they have to say. How stupid and ignorant are you to think, that they know samething about world politics? Nothing, they made a personal remark, that like all the defending remarks, is a personal attack. typically liberal and pathetic!!!Is is not obvious , that liberals are angry more and more irrelevant!!?? The chicks will find out what it means to loose 71% of their income.

    Maureen:
    Well maybe we would butt out if there weren't people flinging around words like 'kick a Canadian today.' The last time I checked, we have the right to free speech as well. Which is what this whole stupid controversy is about.

    The Leviathan is upon us! Cast your fate upon the sea and seek its mercy for none shall escape its vast wrath!

    All heed Chicken Little; "The sky is falling! The sky is falling!"

    It's all just a nefarious commy plot, bankrolled by right-wing nazi fascists with the backing of ultra conservative capitalist pigs being fed off the teet of public sector contracts purchased with graft, nepotism and cronyism and it is going to give the whole world over to religious zealot maniacs hiding behind the modern guise of industrial and technological advancement for the purpose of clamping down greedy unions being overrun with leftist liberal minorities.

    Britney sure has a cute li'l belly button. I wouldn't mind slurping champagne off of it.

    I'm going for a pint, anyone care to join me?

    The last time Canada sent troops over to support America, was to Afghanistan to fight the war on terrorism. What happened? Eight Canadian soldiers, dead, because of 'friendly fire.' So referring back to the comment that Dan made, "With friends like these, who needs enemies?!"

    For those of you that weren't smart enough to figure out the above statement was satire (NOT REAL), you really need to get a life. I am from Texas, and I support our troops 110%! I do not however support President Bush. He is arrogent, did NOTHING for Texas except leave us in a financial shambles, which he has already done for the rest of the US, and he has made the UN null and void.

    I support the Dixie Chicks, and Maines and went out and purchased 3 of their cd's just to help the cause. BTW, I wouldn't normally buy their music, but this was money well spent.

    If you support the Dixie Chicks, or free speech, go to this website and show it: http://www.petitiononline.com/chicks/petition.html.

    It's a petition in support of the Dixie Chicks.

    Natalie has a right to voice her opinion and everybody else has a right to respond. Please, Natalie open your mouth and let more bullshit roll out of it. ITS NOT CUTE TO BE IGNORANT. But if you think thats cute, please feel free. However, if you don't like the response maybe you should rethink your statements.
