The Dixie Chicks - Page 6

Leo, I guess I just don't see what's wrong with that kind of comment. If I was from Texas, I'd be embarassed too. I think it is reassuring to the rest of the world that no all Americans feel so fondly about our president. Saying something publically shouldn't be such a "crime".

Besides, this happened in 2003. Get over it idiots.

In a recent interview with the Dixie Chicks there was an example of a woman holding up her 2 year old child to a camera and saying "screw 'em, then telling her child to say "screw 'em". Nice.

Great interview.

Musicians have always addressed politics. That's what MOST good artists do - they comment on the times.

If they had held that same child up and told them to say "screw Bush" why is it I think some people here would find that cute?

We deal in facts and reality here. You can say that YOU think some people would find that cute, but you could just be delusional. That incident hasn't happened, but the incident with the DC did.

I can't find my picture of it but I saw with my own eyes at a San Francisco anti-war rally a five year old walking around wearing a sandwich board that said "**** Bush! He wants to kill Iraqi children just like me."

Quite a few people seemed to be very amused by it. I make no claim that anybody here would have. No real relevance, just that I've seen parents on all sides of the war issue grotesquely use their children as political mouthpieces.

What bothered me the most about all the bruhaha was a remark was made about the president. To me it sounded like an off the cuff remark. It got picked up by the media and blown totally out of proportion. Then the argument was made that we were going to war and you "can't criticize the President". That was what annoyed me the most, of course you can criticize him, war or not.

It does happen, I'm sure. But, I can't imagine anyone here pimping their child like that.

I refuse to take the "blame" of the stupid choices other make make just because their political leanings are similar to mine. General You doesn't post here.
