Christian Taylor disagreed with most of these remarks. He denounced what he called “the elitist attitudes” expressed by the band, arguing that their criticism of President Bush does not appeal to the average country music fan. He also denied that the band’s members received a disproportionate amount of criticism because of their gender. When his fellow bloggers [FR is NOT a blog, maddoggit!] were accused by audience members of bias, he said that “politics has been rough and nasty well before FreeRepublic.com.”
They were close!
Yeah, and most of the "rough and nasty" stuff originates from the Democrat/left/progressive side of the aisle.
Union goons (1998) beating up Don and Terri Adams...
Gore/Lieberman goons (2000) punching a 12 year old Freeper kid in the gut, at the "Get Out of Cheney's House" election protest...
Goons (2004) tearing a sign out of a little girls hands and ripping it up...
"Peace" goons Gael Murphy and Medea Benjamin (2006) slamming into my camera and me...
Assorted "peace" goons who have entered our rallies and torn signs, grabbed flags, and shoved our people around...
Heck, alll us Freepers did WRT to Ditsy Chicks' mouthing off was to comment here, dump our CDs, call our radio stations, and in some areas peacefully protest outside their concerts.
We don't beat people up. That's a characteristic of their side.
P.S. In case the DC are reading this... FUNM!
