dixie chicks / natalie maines --- "Just so you know, we're ashamed the president of the United States is from Texas."

-2nd apology-

"As a concerned American citizen, I apologize to President Bush because my remark was disrespectful. I feel that whoever holds that office should be treated with the utmost respect. We are currently in Europe and witnessing a huge anti-American sentiment as a result of the perceived rush to war. While war may remain a viable option, as a mother, I just want to see every possible alternative exhausted before children and American soldiers' lives are lost. I love my country. I am a proud American."[45][46]

hank williams jr.---'“We’ve got a Muslim for a President who hates cowboys, hates cowgirls, hates fishing, hates farming, loves gays, and we hate him!

....nothing. no apology. no outrage. no boycott.

1. Given his track record of drugs and drinking

I think everyone thinks he gets a free pass because he is such a mess? Not right or fair but he is a mess!

[GentryDixon]

2. He gets a pass because he is Hank Williams son. nt

[Rex]

3. Repukes almost always get a free pass

whereas Dems always get ROASTED over coals for sneezing loud. It is one thing that makes our great country suck ass imo.

4. $$$$

Is Hank making albums, selling music, selling out concert venues, etc.? No? Then who gives a shit, right?

With the Dixie Chicks, their label and all the radio stations had to worry about blowback from country music fans (and we can make a few generalizations about them, can't we?). With Hank, no one cares. That's the difference.

5. hank has a current album in the charts.

[sadbear]

6. Shows you what I know.

Well, then, I guess this says more about country music fans than anything else, huh?

[GoneOffShore]

7. How do you boycott a has been? Or a never was?

Williams is a distraction.

[sadbear]

9. You can 't boycott something you planned to purchase in the first place.

I don't even listen to the stations that play his music (as I've been informed that he currently has an album on the charts.)

[madokie]

8. I remember 20 maybe 30 years ago when I thought a lot of Hank jr

But those days are long gone.
I just want to tell you what I think about you
and I don't want to leave out some important part

F**k you hank

[rbrnmw]

10. also

nobody is calling for his death like they did the Dixie Chicks

[rbrnmw]

11. Also when Paul McCartney was honored at the WH

Faith Hill was part of it and the freepers called her a talentless marxist hollywood harlot they are vicious ugly people who are dangerous

[tblue37]

12. And NO bulldozers crushing his CDs to raucous cheers. nt

[malaise]

13. Excellent point

14. She made her comments "on foreign soil."

That was the excuse at the time.

Hank Williams Jr. is a colossal p.o.s. And of course no one's demanding an apology.
