The Dixie Chicks win was purely political

[Gambino]

Musically speaking, though, they are brilliant. You have to admit that they are excellent. A majority of people disapprove of Bush. Get over it people.

i believe you have credit to comment, coming from a country type of background (as i do)
but compared to country acts, they are nothing special.
dolly parton, loretta lynn, june carter...those are real country chicas
dixie chics will never reach that level of fame and admiration by true country fans.

I love Dolly, June, and Loretta. Gotta love them. I was raised in the mountains of eastern Ky, so I grew up listening to bluegrass. Before the Dixie Chicks, no one in the country music industry would market an album with banjos anymore. The country music stations were flooded with friggin Shania Twain and Faith Hill, who don't sound the least bit like cuntry music.

I love that these gals can play the traditional fiddle, banjos and acoustic guitar. Lyrically, their songs are very good, and they can sing their asses off. I LOVE the chicks!

Probably not the best move in the world for them to say they don't like bush, because lots of country music listeners are the types who decorate their trailers with red, white and blue crap from wal-mart and fucking Thomas Kincaid reproductions. They think that if you are against the war, you have to be anti-troop which is foolish and short-sighted. Even though I like the traditional country music, most of what is on country radio these days is so terrible, I won't even listen to it.

they have a huge fan base. You're nuts. LOL. Anyway, the winners are voted on by LEFT WING LIBERAL judges, not by sales. ...lol.

Exactly the point, not by what they accomplish but by what side of the political isle their on.

You're nuts. Let's judge people on their artistic merits not on whether they like Bush or not.

I can't believe that so many people who think that they can say anything they want and it doesn't have an effect on the people who are at this very minute fighting to give them the right to do so. When we have military incountry, and you give the terrorists ANY sign that there is a division in the US and that the house divided may fall ( in this case give up and leave due to internal pressure), that gives them hope and inspiration that they can win thus the impetus to keep fighting. By them fighting and killing our finest, the libs keep spewing forth their crap about losing lives, thus it's the vicious cycle that they perpetuate themselves! Why is that so hard to see!?
People like you and me, we can say what we want, who's really going to hear besides a few hundred people at best, no biggie. BUT, when you have the world media listening and then airing every word that is said AND the response of the US, thus litterally hundreds of millions of ears, including the terrorists, the burden then lies with you as a celebrity to what you want them to hear. You want them to hear a house divided on it's self!? or them see the divisions that can be created by spewing hate, condemnation of your president, anti war rhetoric, that gives them the hope that they can prevail. Or a country united, not holding hands and singing Cum By Ya necessarily, but nevertheless a country united in a common cause to defeat the people who killed thousands on 9/11, killed hundreds in the embassy bombings, killed hundreds of Marines in Lebanon, 17 in the attack of the USS Cole, ad nauseum. And don't forget, they'd kill me and my family, they'd kill you and your family if they could get their hands on us, why, because we're American. That's pretty damn scarry if you asked me. You choose....

"I think people are using their freedom of speech tonight with all of these awards," Maines said.

There's an admission right there that they didn't actually deserve to win the award, but rather were given it as a political statement.

I have a letter from a soldier in Iraq, "Hope Rides Alone", some of yall who support Sheehan, Franken, MSNBC, the discusting Chicks, and the far left media, need to read it. It's kind of long, but if enough people want to see it, I'll post it here.

BTW, going to WalMart to buy enough red, white and blue spray paint to cover my Escalade.
