Big mouth Natalie Maines is back at it again !

They are about to start a new t our, and apparently this idiot didn't learn much from the last time she pissed off half the country.

Dixie Chicks' Natalie Maines: 'I'm Ashamed Ted Cruz Claims to Be American'

Natalie Maines infamously spoke her mind about war and then-President George W. Bush back in 2003, when she told a London crowd that she was “ashamed that the President of the United States is from Texas.” Now, the Dixie Chicks member is bringing that comment back to mind and voicing her opinion on Republican presidential candidate (and fellow Texan) Ted Cruz.
Dixie Chicks' Natalie Maines Revisits President Bush Criticisms 12 Years Later
“Just so you know....I'm ashamed Ted Cruz is from America,” Maines wrote on Twitter late Saturday night (Jan. 23). With her tweet she posted side-by-side images of former President Dwight D. Eisenhower and Cruz. “I hate war as only a soldier who has lived it can, only as one who has seen its brutality, its futility, its stupidity,” reads a quote from Eisenhower, compared to this quote from Cruz: “We will carpet bomb them into oblivion. I don’t know if sand can glow in the dark, but we’re going to find out.”
“I stand corrected...Just so you know, I'm ashamed Ted Cruz claims to be American,” Maines added in another tweet. Cruz represents Texas as a senator, though he was born in Canada.
Maines’ tweets are in reference to a statement Cruz reportedly made at a December campaign stop in Des Moines, Iowa.
Behind the Scenes of the Dixie Chicks' Prep for American Comeback Tour (That's Already Successful)
While her remarks about Bush over a decade ago didn't sit well with the group's conservative country fanbase, music fans seem to be ready for their return to the stage. The Dixie Chicks (Maines, Emily Robison and Martie Maguire) embark on a tour on June 1, their first U.S. trek in 10 years -- and "ticket sales have been ridiculous," according to band manager Simon Renshaw.

Proves how stupid liberals are. Gruber even described them, and they supported him.

Perfect example of that time. If you exercised your freedom of speech or expression in any way critical of that debacle then you were labeled a traitor.

I'm not a proponent of Freedom of Speech and never have been. She shot her mouth off in front of an audience she shouldn't even have been performing for to begin with in a country she shouldn't have been in. She paid the price, as did her supporters.

Women's mouths are made for numerous things. Talking about politics is not any of those things.

Doesn't get much more illustrative than this.

So here's a revised list:
-- Free speech: out
-- Freedom of travel: out
-- Freedom of gender: out

Thank you, Kim Jong Un. Do enlighten us with more, Dear Leader.

Lol coming from people that called anyone racist for disagreeing with Obama.

Yyyyyeah. Three million people that "nobody knew".

The largest anti-war protest in the history of human civilisation.
Doesn't get much more "obscure" than that.


"Target" my fucking ass. Up to thirty million people all over the world on every continent took part in the protest. THAT was the huge fucking story.

The word was clearly already out. All they did was acknowledge what the whole fucking world was already saying.

Yes damnit, but all those little protesters scurrying around meant nothing to those back here in the U.S. that supported the mission.
The high profile of Natalie and the Chicks gave those supporters someone to point to and go after.
Why is this so hard for you ?

Correct, they meant nothing here because --- we never heard about that massive worldwide protest at the time. Because the corporate media was too busy beating the war drum. Wouldn't have looked good to note that the whole rest of the world thought we were fucking nuts.

But that doesn't matter here --- she didn't say it to US. She said it to an audience in LONDON. Where the protest was still fresh.

What exactly is not strikingly obvious about this?

I KNOW SHE MADE THE COMMENTS IN LONDON !!!!

Excellent.
And you know that three weeks earlier, millions --- literally millions --- of Londoners were in the streets protesting that war, right?

Now insert tab A into slot B...... holy shit this is like pulling teeth...

Yes, I am and was aware that there were protests. I'm certain her hosts applauded her remarks, but back here at home where at the time the majority of Americans favored an Iraq invasion, her words didn't go over so well with millions of Americans.

Soooooooooooo ------- exactly which one of the 57 states do you imagine London is in??


Wanna see a handy map?

​

United Kingdom (east)
United States (west)
---- KNOW the difference.

Why was it so important that she make her comments? If she didn't, would the crowd rush the stage and lynch them if they simply avoided politics and played their music? It was unnecessary, disrespectful and not very smart.

I was a big Dixie Chicks fan in the early days, but after that, I was done, like so many other patriotic Americans.

They spoke out and got smacked so hard in the purses that it ended their careers. Now, it seems they did not learn their lesson and will suffer the same fate.

So patriots don't criticize the President of the United States? They won 9 Grammys and multiple other awards while making a ton of money after that comment.

The whole fiasco was created by some right wing assholes at Clear Channel.

Natalie Maines is not being PC and suddenly that is bad?

 

[blastoff]

Let's see. Nats opens her fat mouth and it has such a positive effect on the group that they haven't been able to put together a tour for 10 friggin' years!

Now, finally on the verge of getting back on the concert trail she goes full deja vu all over again. Whadaya suppose her fellow Chicks would prefer, that she keep yapping or shut her mouth? Lots of potential cash to be made out on the road, lots of it.

It's got nothing to do with her exercising he right to free speech. She did that. But as a public figure with a track record 10 years old it's simply a dumb thing to do. People have as much right to react to what she says as she's got to say it, and if they choose to react as they have in the past that's life.

I hate you.

If the band saw it as some kind of detriment, she would have been fired a dozen years ago. She's still there.
Now what does that tell you?

I might add, "duh".

Don't most people agree with her now? After all, she was right on the money.

That band has had 10 years to get rid of her. No one is forcing that the band stay together.

Art cannot be measured in terms of money. You're another one of these drones who think it's about selling music-widgets. But as long as you're swimming in that soup:

>> By December 2015, with 30.5 million certified albums sold,[2] and sales of 27.5 million albums in the U.S. alone, they had become the top selling all-female band and biggest selling country group in the U.S. during the Nielsen SoundScan era (1991–present).[3][4][5] << (Wiki)​

It's got nothing to do with her exercising he right to free speech. She did that. But as a public figure with a track record 10 years old it's simply a dumb thing to do. People have as much right to react to what she says as she's got to say it, and if they choose to react as they have in the past that's life.

Again, like the previous wags, your own post contradicts itself. Either a person's entitled to an opinion OR they're not. Can't have it both ways there, Dim Dong.

>> "I don't even know the Dixie Chicks, but I find it an insult for all the men and women who fought and died in past wars when almost the majority of America jumped down their throats for voicing an opinion. It was like a verbal witch-hunt and lynching". [53][54] --- Merle Haggard (op cit)

AGAIN -- what's actually going on --- or attempting to go on --- is this:

""It's a sad commentary about the level of fear in our society that a movie about a group of courageous entertainers who were blacklisted for exercising their right of free speech is now itself being blacklisted by corporate America".
-- Harvey Weinstein, film distributor for a DC documentary that was rejected by NBC but picked up individually by its affiliate staions. (op. cit.)

Corporate fascism. See it now. Summa y'all learned nothing from the lesson of Joe McCarthy.

And they agreed with her then too. As noted way back, the London audience, where an anti-war protest involving literally millions of Londoners had taken place weeks prior, applauded and approved. And when she came back a few years later and repeated the same statement, they laughed and approved again.

​

This country was entirely alone in the world seeing the invasion of Iraq as somehow a thing that needed doing. The aforementioned protest was part of the largest worldwide protest event in the history of humanity ----- an event that went largely ignored in this country by the same corporate media that collectively ignored and did whatever it could to silence the DC's music.

Like the original Iraq war protests, that just ain't what's going on in the rest of the world, where the band has continued to thrive. But the obedient corporate drones here can only murmur "yes master............. I hear and obey.....". Fuckin' zombies.
