Butler is a longtime liberal and Clintoon-Goreon supporter. I'm not surprised by her comments.She was sober enough to attend an awards show?

Wow, news to me. I've seen Kid Rock, and it was *far* from country.
And the swig from the pint is totally in character.
To: Sam Cree
.. aren't the chx going around referring to their fans as "radical right wingers?" If so, they're definitely in the wrong business.
To: submarinerswife
Have you ever known a LIB to admit they're wrong?Actually, yes, once. The Lib was George McGovern. After going into business as the owner of a small resort, he bemoaned the regulations foisted upon small business in this country, and said that he wished he had had experience in the private sector before he voted on business regulatory issues.

The first step of forgiveness is to recognize that what they did was wrong; #2 Apologize, #3 Ask for forgivenes from God and Country. "My Country, Right or Wrong" is still the only policy- or leave. Speaking of leaving, why are those H'wood idiots still here? Bush won the election and has gone further. He won Afghanistan, He won Iraq. Syria, Iran and N, Korea can kiss their axx goodbye, unles Lybia, Sudan etc act up. Let's pre-empt the reds in Brazil too. I do not want to wait until the sissy Degenerats are back.

Well, they actually referred to those who are campaigning agains them as "radical right wingers." Unfortuneately for them, a major portion of those people are (were) their fans.
Yeah, I think they are in the wrong business.

I can't wait to try that one out on my sixteen-year-old son. I predict a look of shock, dismay, followed by laughter.I would not go so far as to call Kid Rock "semi-country". But I would say Kid Rock has an appreciation of classic country artists (i.e. Hank & David Allen Coe), as he refers to these artists in "American Bad Ass." And there is an occasional country sounding rif in his songs. Assuming your 16 y/o son does not listen to country music, these references & rifs may go over his head.
I remember my disbelief when my father told me that the tune of a Beastie Boys song was stolen from a Led Zeppelin song. Although I had a new appreciation for LZ.

So maybe in a couple of weeks, we'll just all try to forgive the Dixie Chicks. Yeah, forgive and forget, that's my motto.
To: Gothmog
Keith said, "I'd like to dedicate this great award to Mr. Rumsfeld [Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld] and [General] Tommy Franks and all the people putting it down for us over there. . . . God bless the USA, baby." That line is a HOMERUN!!!

Have you ever known a LIB to admit they're wrong?After South Vietnam fell, and the North Vietnamese started trying to take over the rest of SEA, Joan Baez did admit "Well Gee, maybe they weren't just peaceful rice farmers who only wanted to go back to tilling their paddies after all."
Unlike the future Frau Turner, JB admitted this with no apparent commercial pressure or ulterior motives.

When I saw Kid Rock a few years ago, I was one of the few in the place that knew that when KR played "We're an American Band", it was a cover.

"We're in the South, a place of sin and redemption and hopefully forgiveness," said comedian Brett Butler. "So maybe in a couple of weeks, we'll just all try to forgive the Dixie Chicks." Her words were met with a wall of boos. ROTFLOL!!!! Sounds like country western musicians are as gung-ho as Freepers. I like em' already!!!
Note: The Dixie Chicks were Bush-bashers long before Porky Maines put her hoof in her mouth. Nobody really believes Natalie's so-called apologies. Forgiveness comes in time when the offender demonstrates true repentance which requires action, not just self-serving words.
To: GraniteStateConservative
I can't stand that Brett Butler anyway. Glad she got booed.

"I'd like to dedicate this great award to Mr. Rumsfeld [Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld] and [General] Tommy Franks and all the people putting it down for us over there. . . . God bless the USA, baby." Amen to that. Thanks, Gothmog!
If there is an "upside" to war, it is that it forces folks to take sides, and this typically splits along what you might call moral-clarity lines. And one side usually gets it "right," while the other remains "clueless." The Dixie Chicks (et al.) are clueless. So much so, that I doubt Ms. Maines even understands what she did wrong. I gather she remains intransigently unapologetic, when arguably it would do her much more real good to simply say, "I'm sorry. I was wrong. Please forgive me." Both financially and personally.
