The whiplash must be painful.
Wow, where are all the people who were so outraged over one sentence the Entertainers the Dixie Chicks said?

They blackballed them, made death threats against them and literally made their lives hell.

Those same people are saying that McChrystal was just stating opinions. That if Obama can't take critisism then he shouldn't be president?

The whiplash must be painful.

3. My point was......
the entire RW was outraged that someone dare speak out against the president during a war

they tried to ruin them. The Chicks were well within their rights to speak what they wanted when they wanted. They are entertainers, nothing more.



McChrystal is an employee subject to his Commander in Chief in the middle of a Nasty war and he spoke much worse by far.

the same people that were so outraged over the Chicks are now saying that McChrystal had a right to say what ever he wanted.

Do you not see the hypocrisy?

Thus the Whiplash

4. I guess it depends on who you are if you care or don't care about the top command.
Down here on the Gulf coast, oil is the biggest topic. Obama put Petraus of Cent Com command in charge and everyone loves that man.. and the overall strategy is to stay indefinately.. so, until I actually hear "where out of here".. Who cares what commander is over there as long as they try to get as few people killed.. But then again GI.. Government Issue means uses and abused.. and our troops and their families have been.

10. A good point indeed...one of the specific things the right said
was that the Dixie Chicks should not have been critical of the President outside the US. I believe the General was also 'overseas' when his comments were made.

12. just a little refresher anyone remember Pat Boone
http://www.sadlyno.com/archives/2782.html

Boone, who is also a columnist for WorldNetDaily, says what seemed like a momentary misstep by Maines now begins to look like a flaw in her character.

“If I were the president of Iran, if I were Osama bin Laden or any of the terrorist organizers and I could have my wish list totally,” Boone said, “I couldn’t ask for anything better than for America’s entertainers to bash their president, denigrate him, make him seem like an idiot and a self-serving fool, and then have the media go along with it and promote it like crazy and try to undermine the whole war effort.”

14. Yes, but unlike the Military, Country Music Bands are obligated to support the CIC.
As long as the CIC is a Republican, of course.
