Sorry  I know theyre evil. I doubt I could even date a girl that would have one of their CDs in their collection or let alone, one of their songs in their head

All for Freedom of speech until someone says something you don't like or disagree with?? She has the right to freedom of speech just like all of you. Doesn't mean you have to agree but holy hell when the day comes that no one can bash, make fun of or insulate a government offical. If the president was a demo you all wouldn't care would you?? I think it's quite funny that people get ther panies all twisted over her, that exactly what she wanted. Hence their new hit song, Not Ready to Make Nice! |

I like this Soldier supporting singer more than any so called dixie chick www.blackfive.net/main/2006/10/beccy_cole_post.html Scroll down the link a bit for her song. It is worth it x1000!!! |
She has the right. No one is aruguing that. However. That means that we also have the right to call her a stupid bitch, not buy her shit, and not go to her shows. Mark. |
Not to mention not buy her music or see her show.....Thats why they had ot cancell a shitload of their concerts......due to lack of ticket sales. |
Thats right. People can burn the US flag, but they better not do it in front of me. Because I DISSAGREE. Say what you want..but be ready to suffer the consequences, period. |

Picket has only one meaning, my keep it civil was meant for in this forum. It's all a form of free speach right? But even in here, we need to be civil and treat this as if you were in someone else's home. I've edited one post, please don't give me any more opportunities to do any more. Thanks. Keep it up and I'll start another LS thread

I guess it's not technically correct, but I take it as slang for impale. When Robespierre was cornered and shot, his three cohorts met their deaths by being impaled on pickets. So yes, there are other meanings. I think it's a French thing because they seem to have a habit of famous people getting impaled on pickets. A famous WWI pilot jumped from his plane on fire and he was impaled on a picket fence. He too was French.

Picket=stand out front and look stupid holding up signs and chanting like a lib. The dixie chicks could use some of that crap but frankly conservatives are too well mannered and have better things to do. Picketing is perfectly CIVIL if you're not acting like an ass like most of the libtard punks in portland do. |
Tell that to the conservative asshats from Westboro Baptist. |
Thank you!  That is what I meant when I said picketing. I do not know why it can't be done in a civilized manner. If it can't than I do not want to be associated with it.Patty |
I think the reason the chicks got such an uproar was because they said what they said in Germany [over seas at least] all the while our troops were being deployed. Its one thing to say you think President Bush is an idiot here in the US to Americans but to say you're embarrassed of our President on foreign soil to foreigners is in my mind treason or just shy of it. Our Constitution does not protect her for that/this.  The fact is IF she would have said this during a concert here in America she would have been booed off the stage. She's a coward and a hypocrite.

First, I think you all misunderstood my point of view. I was simply stating at I though it was interesting how people on both sides of an issues get all upset when they disagree with words. Second, Dixie Chicks are a country group who HAD a few good songs and now to me, are sell outs regarding their music, and they don't know when to keep there mouths shut.
I agree with you Cape. But the they didn't burn the flag, they spouted off at the mouth and said something stupid. The day they do that I'll be right next to you standing up in disagreement!! |
I don't have any problem with anyone not liking President Bush or even if they're opposed to the war in Iraq. What I do take offense to is that an American Band on foreign soil insult our President and our Troops. This is not an exercise of free speech or simply disagreeing with my point of view. This is disrespect to our Country, our President and our Troops. Patty |
No they didnt burn the flag. But like burning the flag there are consequences. You burn a flag in front of me, you get beat. You mouth off about a politically hot topic and you risk your carreer. Simple as that. |
Damn, and I thought I could stay out of this thread.... My right to free speech (as far as the U.S. is concerned) does not stop at the border. This is absolutely a free speech issue. The correctness, locale, audience, intent, stupidity, intelligence, or wittiness of the remark has no bearing on whether it is a free speech issue (barring the obvious exclusions). If I can say it standing on a street corner in Salem then I can say it anywhere in the world (disregarding the local gestapo). |

As Americans we have the right to say whatever we like -- but as adults we also have the responsibility to moderate our speech in certain situations, not because we are compelled to but becasue we ought to as civilized people. Further, there are consequences. We are free to shout 'Fire!' in a theater, but we will feel the consequences for doing so. Thinking that, 'I can say whatever I want, whenever I want' with the belief that doing so should be unencumbered by any repercussions is something that children believe. Most grow up and see the bigger picture. |

The free speech aspect of what was said is truly disrespectful IMO. Nat’s daddy needed to take her out to the wood shed and spank her with a picket. I respond to the Dixie Scum the same way I respond to Hollyworse; I vote with my dollars. This is one civilized way I can make an impact. |
Well we'll have to agree to disagree on this issue. I do not believe American's have the right protected by our constitution to belittle the President and our troops in a foreign country to foreigners. We all know good and well they would have never pulled that crap in front of a crowd of Americans. It reminds me of the time when President [former] Nixon was in the Soviet Union on a diplomatic issue and the Press tried to bait him into saying something negative about the policy of President Clinton. He very eliquently put them in their place and defending President Clinton. Patty PS Thank you for the clarification Peta!
