A Vast Right Wing Conspiracy

MSNBC's Chris Matthews invited the Dixie Chick on last night's Hardball to promote the new documentary Shut Up and Sing and asked them if they felt their anti-Iraq position has been vindicated, to which the Chicks responded with martyred terms of being put on Free Republic's and "Christian fundamentalist" country fans' "hate list."
The following exchange occurred on the October 26th edition of Hardball:
Chris Matthews: "Martie, I get the feeling at the time that you folks, when you made that statement and you all stood behind it and took the heat for it, that the country world out there and country music was definitely for the war. I mean, I think of Toby Keith singing that song, ‘Remember How You Felt' which is basically a pitch that if you didn't like 9/11 you had to like Iraq, that they were basically lining up and saying this was a smart thing for the U.S. to do. It turns out most Americans all over the country think it's not a smart thing that we did."

I didn't know we had a 'hate list.'
I believe he's conflated Alan Jackson's "Where Were You When the World Stopped Turning?" with Toby Keith's "Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue."
Hey Chris! Hire a fact checker.
I guess they're making the rounds again. They were on Larry King the other night.
Thank GAWD for the remote and my vcr/dvd player.
LOL!! That's what I thought, too. Nice research, Matthews.
What is that old saying? " I don't care what they say as long as they are talking about me" Feel GOOD CHICKS !
Damn it! First I didn't get the memo, and now I don't have the HATE LIST.
I tuned in long enough to notice the body language. Was in just me or did the two skinny ones look like they were leaning away from the little fireplug-shaped one? I don't think they're too happy with What's-Her-Name.
Chrissy! Chrissy! Wake up! You were talking in your sleep again.
Hate list ping??
I think they're mixing up a couple song that came
out at the same time.
Toby Keith sang "Courtesy of the Red, White & Blue"
Daryl Worley sang "Have you Forgotten" about 9-11.
And don't forget their shot on Oprah this week.
Did they threaten EARL of follow through?
Matthews shows again that he doesn't research anything. Toby Keith doesn't even have lyrics that say "Remember how you felt", let alone a song title.
Also, it's so funny that for the past 8 months, the media has been propping up the Chicks, and how they were going to make it anyway.....then they flop like a cheap hooker.
LOL - Everyone's fault but their own. Typical impotent liberals.
We win again in '06. HAHAHAHAHA!
A good way to get the D/C's, or any other Lib, to shut up is to put them on "Hardball with Chris Matthews". Chrissy won't let any guest get in a word edge-wise.
LoL. Chrissy is such a funny POS. What on earth makes NBC think he should have a job? It's certainly not his ratings!
lol
Prissy Chrissy continues to babble while Rome burns.
What am I, chopped liver?
I've been here long enough, will somebody please show me the hate list finally?
C'mon guys?
(I just know you won't let me see it because I'm on it.)
