Great post. Does anyone have a list of radio station phone #'s?

my dad also sent a letter to one of their sponsors, lipton tea

DO NOT include the part about accepting the appology at all. It was a face saving lie to cover her true feelings. All you will do is shift the burden hatting the manager. The best bet is to focus our anger on the stations and on lipton. Remember lipton is a french company and they have enough trouble.

If Lipton wants to have american support, then drop the chix.

and implied that the "public" did not object to the Dixie Chicks' remarks as much as Free Republic made it seem

We are the public.

The only sponcer this blixie chicks might get would be "duct tape" producers.

____________________________________________________________ I went farther than Lipton, I went to the parent corp Unilever and took the boycott to all their products. They make Closeup, Scope , Ragu, and a host of other products that there is a ready alternative to.

Good point. Renshaw speaks on behalf of the Dixie Chicks and therefore we shouldn't separate him from the band in our argument. I've revised the message adjusting that sentence.

"Simon Renshaw, manager for the Dixie Chicks, recently described country music fans who complained to their local radio station about the band's controversial remarks as "radical" "weasels" acting as part of a "conspiracy". By characterizing patriotic Dixie Chick fans in such a manner, he has rendered hollow the Dixie Chicks apology and eviscerated any goodwill gained by Maines' apology. Rather than acknowledging the genuine uproar that their comments fueled, the Dixie Chicks team is engaged in denial, conspiracy theory, and scapegoating. Rather than mend fences, the Dixie Chicks' representation has chosen to engage in name-calling against country music fans. Consequently, it appears that the Dixie Chicks apology was not made in good faith. These latest comments made by Dixie Chicks represenatation disrespect country music fans and add insult to injury. The boycot of the Dixie Chicks will continue until a genuine apology is made that respects sincerely the objections that countless patriotic fans have with the Dixie Chicks remarks."

The Dixie Bitch needs to apologize ON STAGE as soon as she takes the stage here in the USA. She spewed her venom on stage, she can apologize ON STAGE.

To the stage people: Leave the pulpit to the preachers, the soapbox to the politicans and stay on the stage. The only area that you are qualified.

For the washed up so-called celebs get your face time doing good not damning our country.
