    Who are the Dixie Chicks?
    They're a female band that bashed Bush and his rushing to war which they thought was wrong (turns out they were right lol). They said they were ashamed that he was from Texas blah blah blah and they received a ton of backlash for it and the yokels boycotted them. Didn't really do much good in the end though.

    I see republicans are pissed off about the freedom of the press again. Unless it is some conservative rag pushing their agenda.
    I cannot speak for all republicans, especially since I'm not one. However, being a conservative, the problem we see isn't that the freedom to lie in the media exists. It's that so many people are stupid enough to believe the lies!

    Well, let's omit the opinion and stick with the facts.

    The Dixie Chicks were a very popular rising band that would have been even more popular. The problem is that their primary audience, being country music listeners, was conservatives. When they made their opinions made known in the way they did it. Americans who they insulted decided they would not buy their music anymore. They killed their their own sales by offending their largest consumer base. Even radio stations refused to play their music because the listening audience complained.

    I would say that in the case of US magazine, they killed a large segment of their sales. Sure, they probably mostly catered to liberal women, but they really offended the conservative woman.

    Will they ever get that segment back, or will they have a permanent loss of revenue like the Dixie Chicks?

    I know many a conservative woman who buys and reads all that trash! Next celebrity scandal and they will buy it again.

    You realize that the Dixie Chicks album in 2006 debuted at #1 on both the pop and country charts and was a top ten best seller for that year, along with winning them 4 or 5 Grammy awards in that year alone.

    So what. It took them three years to come back, and if they didn't already achieve the stature they did... They would have never recovered.

    Their audience radically changed to primarily lib s who liked what they did. If they didn't give the left such orgasms for their actions, that would have never happened. They really pissed of the traditional country crowd.

    The Grammy's, being from the leftist hollywood, probably would have never honored them so well had they not bashed the president.

    They didn't up, they were right. Funny, most of the country agrees with them now.

    Dude, musical acts haven't been releasing new albums every year since Elvis was skinny.

    Three years between albums is awesome.
