Bossier Rally Crushing Dixie Chicks Merch with a Tractor

YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW to start some #!@%? Ask Dixie Chicks singer, Natalie Maines. Her infamous one-liner attacking the President ignited a fire-storm of controversy, enraging their fan base, inspiring a nationwide corporate ban of their music, and ultimately turning country music into one long episode of professional wrestling. In Christopher Fleeger's funny, and frequently ominous film, PROTESTING THE DIXIE CHICKS, country music fans reveal their quirky conceptions of freedom and patriotism, as well as the anger and violence which accompany the impulse to defend them. Here, we discover a distinctive American discourse on discourse itself. When and where is criticism acceptable? And by whom? If you think you've heard it all before, you've never been to a Dixie Chicks concert.

The "jerks" at KRMD can kiss my a**!!! What they did was so wrong. "Crushing Dixie Chicks CD's with a tractor all over a comment that had nothing to do with them at all."

Your comment is overly general.

The fans did not tolerate Nat's behavior.

That is not the same as being "intolerant", which implies a broad attitude toward everything they disagree with.

If that were the case, these protesters would be Liberals, as it seems the only thing a Liberal is intolerant of... is a dissenting opinion.

Minter:

Agreed. But the fans have the same Right to free speech. The above video is an example of this. You may not agree with the actions of these few fans during a radio station publicity stunt, but surely you agree they have the right to express their feelings in this non-violent, public, and controlled event.

Freedom of Speech works both ways or it has no meaning at all.

People have the right to free speech. All that was ever said by Natalie Maines is her political opinion. I don't like Bush or the war either but I support our troops and I think the Dixie Chicks do to!! But you have the right to your own opinion and that's what all the soldiers died for so you could say what you think!!!( I may not agree with what you say but I'll die for your right to say it!!! ) A very wise quote!!

[MeritisDE]

They are intolerant.

That is clear.

[Leonid3s]

"reactionary bigots"?

And you claim to be unbiased? LOL! Not even close!

By your logic, the few thousand protesters here and there are the ONLY fan base the DC had. If that were not the case, the DC would still be touring.

No. You are sadly mistaken. The vast majority of those former fans, just quit buying tickets and CDs. No formal protests. No picketing. No PR campaign. Just millions of fans deciding the DC did not stand for their values and voted with their wallets.
