DEARBORN, Mich. -- Charlie Daniels, the man who wrote and sang "This Ain't No Rag, It's a Flag," is drawing heat from Arab-Americans who say it refers to a derogatory term used against them.

Daniels, 67, is scheduled to perform Saturday in Dearborn, the center of southeastern Michigan's 300,000-member Arab-American community.

It begins:

"This ain't no rag, it's a flag and we don't wear it on our heads. It's a symbol of the land where the good guys live. Are you listening to what I said?"

Somebody ought to tell Charlie about our favorite "moran"

6. ha ha that is so great

now the Moran buddy and Charlie Daniels should have to mud wrestle on live TV.

7. Sad

Charlie was actually once one of the good guys. He recorded with Dylan, wrote the counter-culture country anthem 'Uneasy Rider' and ever campaigned for Jimmy Carter. Obviously Zell followed his lead.

8. Daniels begs for a swift reply - where are the pics of bush writing on the

flag,



of Poppy wearing a business suit whose lining is the pattern of the flag,

(don't have it - does anyone else?)

all the flag lapel pins, thong underwear and tableclothes and whatever other images you can come up with -

Daniels, 'the land where the good guys live' markets our flag in uncountable iterations for profit, the best representation of which at this moment is your lame song.

Stonewall Jackson is clueless, but he's probably not a bigot.
Roy Acuff is not a bigot anymore. Guess why?
Ricky Scaggs is a great musician, but boy is he EVER a bigot.
Lorrie Morgan killed Keith Whitley, and that's worse than being a bigot.

more and more "conservative" as they get older.

21. It really Sux!

I used to love CDB, but his slow shift right over the years does not sit right with me. Sadly as mentioned he was once one of us.

I am almost ashamed to say he was sired in my state(N.C.)but he's a flatlander, maybe i can blame it on that.
