#2 I agree Lucky--us Librulz don't like country music--so the Hell with them--just kinda interestin' how Clear Channel, which stirred the boycott pot has donated so generously to the GOP--just a coincidence--and the sheeple won't notice anyway

#3 Welcome back, NMM. Guess you should explain to Natalie some basic concepts in "cause and effect", which Rantburgers are real keen on: Natalie's free to say what she likes, we're free to be upset by what she says, then we're free not to buy her music, then she's free to take back her old job at the truck stop on I-35.

And your point is? Why is this interesting? Did someone suggest that it was coincidence? Are you suggesting that it is improper for ClearChannel to choose its own programming or donate to the party of its choice?

#16 As Jeanine Garofalo (certainly a noted legal scholar) recently declared, "All of your criticism of the peace activists is suppressing free speech!" One might wonder where they get this vision of their rights.

As a public service, I have researched this subject, and have discovered the text of an otherwise unknown Constitutional Amendment that seems to be common knowledge among lefties. I wanted to call it Amendment "X" for unknown, but this might cause confusion with the real Tenth Amendment, so I have changed it to "XYZ":

The first article of amendment to the Constitution of the United States is hereby repealed.

The right of all progressives, socialists, dissidents, and protestors to be free from criticism, ridicule, opposition, or hostility shall not be abridged.

The right of such persons to the forum and audience of their choice shall not be abridged.

The right of such persons to be taken seriously shall not be abridged.

The right of such persons to vandalize property or perform any bodily act in public in furtherance of ideological expression shall not be abridged.

Congress and the people's Commisariat for the Suppression of Thoughtcrime may, at their discretion, direct the creation of a special authority, to include informal deputies, to police compliance with this amendment in thought, word, and deed.

#24 Simple cause and effect. What is the problem, with that, or with folks donating to a political cause they agree with. Or is it only those NMM disagree with that should not be donated to.

What Bush said was right, Freedom is a two way street. The only reason why NMM is upset at Clear channel's donation to the GOP is because he disagrees with their goals and cause. Just as many of us disagree with him. It is folks like NMM and the Chix, that see freedom as only one way. They get to do what they want, and to hell with everyone else.

The troll came bopping by, poked a few people in the eye with a sharp stick and they noticed! I guess it's cuz they were here in real-time! Doesn't pay to post when people are looking, eh? I guess few know about your midnight tough-guy gig, huh? Now they do.

Looks like it's getting out of hand. You'd better post something extra-witty and smarm a little, bro. Maybe Jarhead will come along and save you. But mebbe not. Mebbe you're just being seen for who you really are, today. Oops!

NaziMediaMike wants everyone to like him, but he also wants to poke them with his little stick. It's apparently important to him. We're all suppose to marvel at the trite unwitty crap, forgetting that he's an asshat in our admiration, and love him for it. That's apparently the plan, since it's the only thing that fits the facts. Fucking stupid gig, IMO. Any kind of attention better than no attention, NMM?

Congrats, you're the self-assigned red-headed stepchild of Rantburg. Knock yourself out. Oops, you already did. What a fucktard.

#35 The proper way to crush dissent:
Hold your arm out towards the dissenter, with the hand pointed across your body.
Extend your thumb and forefinger horizontally.
Repeatedly open and close your thumb and forefinger while saying, "I'm crushing your dissent."

#36 Voww, that's a very long comments thread. All this for a pop singer's "interesting" opinion...
NMM : "Rush Limbaugh the law-breaking druggie who should be in prison with the crack whores";
I don't really know who RL is (a radio host IIRC), but I assume he's some middle-aged conservative white male, presumably repressed and with a lot of spent-up frustration.
Frankly... do you really think being locked up with a bunch skanky sex-crazed, morally-challenged furies of various ethnic backgrounds (whose minds are clouded with withdrawal symptoms) is a very deterrent punishment for the likes of him? My guess is he's going to ask for more.

#37 NMM(Not Merely Mundane)Lets see if I can wrap my sheeple mind around what your saying.
The Dippy Chicks can say anything they like(on this we agree,Right of free speech),the Priesident of the U.S.can't disagree with them(he does not have the Right of free speech).The Dippy Chicks can disagree with getting rid of one of the worst mass murderers in the last 50 years(Saddam supporter by proxy),but Clear channel can not directly support the Priesident of the U.S.(who overthrew Mass-murder Saddam).It is wrong for Clear Channel to donate to the GOP,but ok for Clinton/Gore to except money from the Communist Chinnies.The Dippy Chicks can say/do anything they want,but I have to buy thier music because if I do not give them my money I am violating thier(Dippy Chicks)Right of Free Speech.
NMM,I am not a Republican,nor a I a Democrate I vote for who I think is the best Person for the job.Right now that person is Bush,we certainly do not need a Priesident who is more interested in getting his knob polishied than killing terrorists.

Heard a little thing awhile back(on one of the T.V.news magizines)from one of Clintons military advisors(ret.)seems the military/CIA had Binney located and was ready to kill his ass.They went to Clinton for permision to launch the strike.Guess what,NMM?

#38 "Ok--let's drop the personal attacks and argue issues--I'm done with that"

What you're done with doesn't set the agenda here, clueless power-freak.
You should have thought about arguing issues in the first place. You never responded to any of my questions, other than to try to tell me what I think, you clairvoyant authoritarian baboon. (btw, trying to tell people what they think is a clinical symptom of alcoholism)

"how all those bills got passed in the Repugnant Congress to allow Clear Channel to have a monopoly that would have made Teddy Roosevelt (Repub_-weep?)"

Care to provide any facts to back up your claim that Clear Channel has a monopoly or that this is the result of improper influence?
Your word alone isn't good enough, no matter how many insults you use to reinforce it, at least not until Naderite fruitbats gain control and abolish all dissent.
Insults and authoritarian pronouncements are all you have (again) since the FACT is that Clear Channel owns or programs about 1200 radio stations, of the more 13,000 licensed stations in the United States. Some monopoly. What are numbers to a left-authoritarian, though? 9% is morally equivalent to the 99% ownership of the steel trust that Teddy Roosevelt busted 100 years ago, right?
You're also the post-mortem spokesman for Teddy Roosevelt now, I see. Is there no end to your clairvoyance? What does Calvin Coolidge have to say about it? We already know what you and the old folks you channel think of Hoover (ad populem post mortem?).

I work for one of Clear Channel's competitors, so I would have the incentive to demonize them if self-interest controlled my positions on issues, but I think it's more important to expose the authoritarian left's Chomsky-inspired media takeover push and strangle it at birth.

Your advanced psychic powers have failed you in another respect as well. It happens that I am a registered Democrat, and have twice been elected to public office as such. I was thinking about a switch to the Libertarians, but I've decided to stay in the hope that we can net the rest of the fruitbats and transfer them to the Watermelons (green outside, red inside) or the Socialist Workers Party where they belong.

It is often said that Nader cost Gore the 2000 election by skimming off wacko votes. Too bad. Nader, of course, denies it and for once I agree with him.
If we couldn't beat Dubya without the fruitbat vote, we didn't deserve to win.
The Repubs put up about their 15th best candidate and we put up our best and it was dead even. The SCOTUS did the right thing. The Repubs could have found irregularities and excuses for recounts to match ours, one for one, to this very day.
What do you care? President Dennis Hastert could have provided plenty of ammunition for juvenile invective, so he suits you as well as Bush does.
Keep making an ass of yourself telling Repubs how stupid they are. That'll get Dubya out of the White House, won't it?

#39 INCOMING! That thread had more shrapnel flying around then Khe San back in the day.

For the record, I love country music. I also love Rock, the blues, flamenco, blue-grass, & celtic music. I've been playing guitar for over 17 yrs & am a big music fan.

I own a couple Dixie Skanks cd's from before - paid hard earned dough for them. I'm not going to throw them away but will not purchase any music from Ms. Maines & Co in the future.
Four reasons:
1) My free choice as a consumer.
2) I will economically sanction in my own small way those who embarass me as an American fighting man. - You run your cookie cruncher in another country about your C-N-C to score cheap points & pander to the local Brit anti-war crowd while our lads are going into harm's way - then fuck you Natalie Maines & the other two nit wits in your band. Freedom of Speech does not equal freedom of responsibility from that speech - that's what GWB was saying, & that's what I'm saying - no $17 for one of your cd no matter how good you say it is.
3) They come back to the states and get naked on the cover of entertainment weekly in order to capitalize on the "bad press" & go on Diane Sawyer, etc. - too bad, didn't work. Nice p.r. stunt though, ala Jacko, lizzie Taylor, & half-dozen other worthless celebs.
4) I'm a vindictive redneck.

#43 Troll? look you guys, you gonna keep posting stuff that, while not peshawar, is essentially domestic focused, and somebody's gonna respond. And its gonna get ugly on both sides which it has here, and in the threads about Helen Thomas (who, BTW, I despise) and Hillary Clinton (who i definitely dont despise) Once again folks, this war aint about the Dixie Chicks. Hillary is relevant, but its her foreign POLICY positions (which have been mixed) not general snarkiness at personality thats relevant. Helen Thomas is relevant - but knocking JFK? Look I understand there are conservative Republicans who continue their obsessive hatred of even moderate Dems, and there are liberal Dems who have intensified their bittred for all Republicans. Frankly Im fed up with bitter haters on both sides, and I think no small number of Americans share my feeling. Id like to see a President Leiberman, or a Pres. McCain, cause while they both have their partisan positions, both are genuine American Nationalists who put the interests of the nation over partisan bitterness, which while theoretically about issues, looks (and has looked for years) essentially petty.

And now when we are at war, it strikes me as less appropriate - attack policy positions if you will, and even attack personalities if you must - when they take a position on the WOT you find unacceptable. But dont attack all "liberals"

Once again - not only do many liberals support this war (and I explicity INCLUDE Operation Iraqi Freedom when I say "this war") but the essence of the war IS LIBERAL, its a war for the expansion of freedom, with the knowledge that our own security depends on that. Its not a Nixonian war, and its not a Buchananite war. Even George Will is generally cool to it, and decidedly negative about spreading democracy in the Mideast. Reagan fooled everyone - he was a conservative with a decidedly unconservative view of foreign policy - perhaps a residue of his youth as a Truman Democrat, and a labor unionist?

#45 LH - Defending Helen Thomas is just silly. I'll go with everything else you said, but not on Helen. She should've retired well prior to the onset of her condition, whatever it is, for she is as looney as a cave full of Maureen Dowds - geez, that's a scary image!

BTW, I don't hate NMM - I disrespect him because he is intellectually dishonest and lazy. He has never strung 4 consecutive sentences of his own design together to demonstrate he has the capacity for original thought. This is Fred's site - he can ban us both if he wants. Fact: if NMM contributes something other than his usual snarky dogmatic tripe straight from the looneybin at NaziMedia, he won't get any shit from me. I've told him this before, but he chooses to be a stooge and a prick. He chooses every time he hits Submit.

Keep it up - you rock, bro. Just lose Helen, ok? And BTW, prior to 9/11, McCain and Lieberman were my choices, as well, as I think I made clear some time back.

NMM: Angie Schultz just showed her self for being a dumbass country music lover--who else pays attention to the Chixie Dix blah blah blah

As a serious reflection on my intellect, I find this...inadequate. Which pretty much sums you up, doesn't it?

And liberalhawk, I originally put this in Short Attention Span Theater, for the reasons in my first comment. I think Fred misunderstood and moved it to Fifth Column. In my opinion, the meaning of "fifth column" is stretched beyond the breaking point for most of the items that get put there, which is why I put this under SAST.

There's a heavily sarcastic post on my own blog, if anyone's interested. And later today there should be something on the guy who is Mike Moore. German speakers especially requested to attend.

#52 When someone comes in and deliberately starts kicking over the tables, my first response is "what the he$$ is going on here?". After reading through about six threads, I get the distinct feeling that someone's trying to stir up trouble to keep us from paying attention to something else. THAT would be fifth-column behavior, but it didn't originate with the Ditzy Twits. Now I'm curious as to exactly what No More Memory is trying to keep us from discussing.

What was made illegal in 1948 was brothels not prostitution. Pimpry is also illegal

#54 JFM,

then maybe if this singing thing doesn't work out, Ms. Maines will always have something to fall back on in France. Unfortunately, I'm sure w/that twangy voice of hers she will really butcher the language of love. Or, she can just move to Nevada and join the employees of the "cotton-tail ranch" (not that I've been there) ;)

That's the basis of my theory about good news for Bush bringing the leftist trolls out in a full froth. Yesterday we got really good economic news; today we're seeing the trolls running amok.

I suspect other sites have similar troll problems today; I saw the same thing when Baghdad fell.

First: Bourbon apologist? Please, be so kind to not invent things about me. Find one occasion in my posts where I told something kind about the Bourbons (unless you are talking about Juan Carlos I de Borbon y Borbon aka King of Spain)

Second: I don't need anyone's help for dealing with those who rack my nerves on the cheese-eating surrendering monkeys.

Third: the France you are defending is the France of Chirac, of the cynicism and of the wet dreams of world domination through the EU. I vomit that France

Fourth: Don't try to make me believe that your heart bleeds about what France did in North-Africa. There is a thing I learned throught the years, through Cambodia, Rwanda, Afghanistan and Irak and is that the left couldn't care less about the Nyakwe, Niggers and other untermensch unless their death can serve to undermine the West.

Five: About French North Africa. I am just finishing to read a book about the shameful treatment France gave to the harkis (Algerians who fought for France). However the writer (the daughter of a harki) tells how her uncle who had fought with the FLN told her "the FLN is worst than the French, they rob it all, we got nothing but misery, I wish I had fought for the French: my child would have a future". But there are also the tens of thousands who were cut to pieces, burned alive, raped, forced to eat their relatives by the darlings of the left ie the FLN. The greatest sin of France tword the Algerian people is to have abandonned them to the FLN. But abandonning people to monsters is not a sin for the left, it is a virtue.

#59 JFM:

Good riposte. (The French Resistance is on a roll today!) I would only add, in response to the charge that you are a "Bourbon apologist," that there is no reason to apologize for bourbon--it is one of the finer adult beverages.

See Cuba and Vietnam for further examples.
