Dixie Chicks lead singer Natalie Maines
criticized President Bush on the eve of the Iraq war in 2003. Almost overnight, one of the most successful groups of any genre was boycotted by Nashville and disappeared from country radio.

@therealmenstral is more fitting. The president of the United States even said they had the right to there opinion. What was said caused no one harm. Me saying ,"you are an idiot",does you no harm. When Bush was running for president, he had worse things said by the other candidates . They suffered because of idiots like you that don't know the true meaning of America, or freedom. Go fill your red Dixie cup up you follower.

She thinks it fine and she did nothing wrong, yet she's crying. LOL. She says she would give up her career for her (Natalie). Wakeup call: you did.

[Therealmensa]

@Gam3erSaurusRex She said whatever she wanted every day, so freedom of speech is a non-issue. What you want is freedom from consequences, and that never existed. Prefer them all you want, you are a member of such a small minority of lowbrows that they will never be back.

[Gam3erSaurusRex]

For the country music family to simply turn there backs on the Dixie Chicks for using one of there rights as Americans. One of the rights that makes America the greatest nation in the world, freedom of speech. You are country music Dixie Chicks, and you are missed. Country music can keep there" red solo cup", I prefer real music, I prefer the Dixie Chicks

@goldiejames

That's the irony. Almost everyone NOW thinks she was right.

@Therealmensa He could also had said; Let's blow them low life sandniggers and their retarded country to bits and pieces, so we can make the new goverment (that we've picked out) can hire our enterprises to rebuild it. Say Heil! ...And who think they'll dare haggle 'bout the oil there after, he he... But that might have been to honest!?

[GreatBonFire]

She's got a place in my heart ever since she made that statement!!!

anyone who defends george bush simply proves their lack of intelligence :) i love these girls for saying that- and i hate country music!

[goldiejames]

So many opinions but only one thing matters in the whole DC debacle, Natalie only said something that millions already thought, George D Bush was and is an inept warmongering buffoon !!!
