Dixie Chicks pull PR stunt; claim NBC refused to air ad “because it disparaged the President”
I guess they really are desperate for an audience here in the US. Via AP:
NEW YORK – The Dixie Chicks are again at the center of a controversy over the limits of opinionated talk. A film company said Friday that NBC wouldn’t accept an advertisement for “Shut Up & Sing,” a movie about the fuss created by Dixie Chick Natalie Maines’ comment that she was ashamed President Bush was a fellow Texan. The network suggested the complaint may be a publicity stunt.
That’s probably because that’s what it is. Gaius has the details on how the Chicks’ PR folks are not telling the truth, and documents how perpetually outraged lefty bloggers who are foaming at the mouth about this were played like a fiddle. LOL! I love it.

It’s plain and simple, Natalie Maines is a moron. She ruined their careers. I wouldn’t even go see a free concert, as Natalie Maines is a turn off with her attitude.
Just ignore ‘em…hopefully they’ll go away.
Sort of reminds me of the recent family quarrel between ABC and congressional Democrats over The Path to 9/11, where Democrats threatened to yank ABC’s broadcast license. In that case (and this one, too) you wish that there was a way for both sides to lose.
Keep in mind that in both cases it was a fight between fellow Stalinists and not a “battle over free speech”. As such it will be papered over soon enough, and both NBC and the Dixie Chix will go back to their regular gig of Bush-hating.
Still, I take cold comfort in seeing – once again – the huge cracks in Democratland that exist just below the carefully spun surface.
I liked the thought of one poster that they should all pack up and live in Canada. Aidios boys and girls, do us all a favor. The problem is once we fix what is wrong with this country, after they leave. They will just want back in to ruin it again. All that hard work for nutin’. Yeah the Dixie Chicks are such nobodies these days. It is really sorta sad. – Lorica
Now let me get this straight
First, it was FReepers and their “Hate List” that caused the Chick’s gaping hole below the waterline, ticket and CD sales-wise.
That hasn’t worked, so now it’s NBC’s fault???
Maybe, if one of the other Chicks had stuck an apple in Natalie’s sow-ish, moronic maw, there would have been no “Cause” to create the “Effect” that has brought about their present Third-World, Skid-Row financial dire straits?

- What if your manager thought up a ploy to try desperately to keep your act in the public eye and nobody cared? Now that would really outrage the perpetually outraged Left.

Its their right to say whatever the hell they want and it our right not to want to hear their music and pay good money for their concerts. When their manager, british I might add, was on Hannity and colmes, Sean tried to get that point across to the moonbat, he tried over and over to say they had a right to say what they said but the fans have rights too, also they pissed the country fan base off, the very people who helped get em where they are, well, used to be. The other two lied to okra winfrey about not being mad at her for opening her big pie hole up, they gotta be pissed deep down, maines has cut into their bottom line big tiem, but frankly my dear, I don’t give a shit.
lets, all three of them.
Publicity stunt? Figures. This is about Maines’ speed and level of ethics. She’s got nothing left and desperation is now taking over. I think this is the last desperate act of a dying career.
