		<description>It's humorous to see liberals complaining when people exercise their rights as consumers.  Another example of lefty hypocrisy.

Maybe the ACLU can sue to force people to buy the Dixie Chicks' albums.</description>

		<description>I suppose, if mediawhores really wanted to potshot anyone for giving the 'Chicks their visibility window --it would be *me*.

I was the first person in "Rock Media" to 'introduce' their third incarnation. For some odd reason, the editor &#38; publisher chose to hatchet them back then (theory: Editor came onto one of the gals in a bar --and was politely told to F-Off --so he decided they were lesbians).

Controversy aside...

There's no disputing their musical excellence. They've brought a renewed interest to Bluegrass music that would've been lost forever... While Allison Krause is given huuuuge bouquets --she's not as dynamic as The Chicks.

Take some time out of your 'busy' day --and watch the PBS special --their audience hooted and hollered FOR them for the entire show.

I'd venture to say this is the same reaction they get *everywhere*...

There are dozens, if not hundreds, of musicians who've spoken out against Bush's hairbrained, hair-trigger war mongering --but none have received the magnitude of scorn...

Why are Marti &#38; Emily being held responsible for Natalie's comments?

NBC is notoriously Republican --and thinks all of the 'party' walks on water without leaving footprints in the punchbowl... Even the known-pervs get more respectful handling than the mud slung at a little trio from Texas.

Instead oaf wasting so much energy trying to crucify the gals --how'sabout dealing with REAL issues....

That stench in Crawford, Texas *ain't* from the feedlots...</description>
