The Dixie Chicks

NA, I agree with you, but so much goes into context. If the Dixie Chicks went on Larry King and said, you know, we don't agree with the Iraq war and here is why, I doubt many would have a problem. However, the Dixie Chicks went on stage and said they are embarrassed to be from the Texas because of Bush. Big difference, and that moves it from dissent or questioning what is being done to a more personal attack. That's going to turn a lot of people off.

They made it pesonal. Then they complain that a large portion of their fan base has made it personal with them.
