For whatever reason they like. What government entity is denying the Dixie Chicks' right to free speech? They can still say whatever they like to whomever they like, just not wherever they like. "Honor the Texas flag; I pledge allegiance to thee, Texas, one state under God, one and indivisible." [link to www.statutes.legis.state.tx.us] |

The idea that anyone should be penalized for criticizing the president is sad and profoundly un-American.” Well, ain't THAT ironic. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 150781 United States 10/27/2006 09:01 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Boycott NBC and all the products that advertise on NBC. A news outlet should not be so in love with a political regime that it becomes enmeshed. This is wrong, wrong, wrong. News = Unbiased facts. Supposed to be. Heh. But now NBC is into PUNISHMENT to a stupid girlband for their mainstream political views? (yes, they are mainstream, more than half the country detests george and what he's been doing) Yes, George and the folks who voted for him are all into punishment in different forms. They're making this world a sicker place. |

Support the Dixie Chicks for taking a stand that has cost them millions. But actually, if a bunch of stupid redneck Bushlovers don't go to their concerts any more- EXCELLENT! We won't have to sit next to those assholes. |
