Dixie Chicks win big at the Grammies, no doubt frustrating the filthy right-wingers who so hate the freedom of speech that the Chicks exercised when they criticized the dullard in chief, causing many filth-run radio stations to stop playing their music.

Ah yes. Clear Channel Communications, supporter of free speech, but not in their market areas.
I was thinking basically the same thing when I heard about their wins.

NONE of the radio stations in the Tampa market play their crap.
Those were political awards.
Their music does not sell.
What a loser you are, having to identify with some flash in the pan musical group.

Define "flash-in-the-pan". How long have they been around now? Longer than "flash-in-the-pan" status.
Cathy (not a particular Dixie Chicks fan, but this post was just so... ludicrous)
I don't know how many others call the local radio station when the " Chicks " are played, but I do.
Several others do too, I guess, I hardly ever hear them played anymore.
Free Speech cuts both ways.......
How true. I never heard of the dix chicks til they were critical of the president. That's the first I heard of this group. I guess they made their fame and fortune throwing darts at our president.
They certainly deserved the prize but they haven't reached the plateau of Milli Vanilli who has set the standard for the talent required to win a grammie. Ron
So sayeth Scott. Except that they are the #1 selling country band in the nation. I suspect you're not only just mad because they spoke the truth about dumbass Georgie, but also about that mean song they did about that good ole conservative, God fearing boy, Earl!
As usual, Snott has absolutely NO clue.

"It's telling when country luminary Merle Haggard has an entry on Rolling Stone magazine's list of top protest songs. Country musicians and their fans tend to hail from conservative states with high enlistment rates. Then again, the toll of the war on the sons and daughters of these states has been acute." ==================
Maybe this will stop the old fart's pacemaker, for good:

Trying to get them censored from radio, is "Free Speech cuts both ways"?
Considering they are #1 on the Billboard country charts. Seems you and the guys from the barber shop aren't having too much of an affect.
It must be politically incorrect for a Country band to criticize the president. Rock bands have been doing it since the Johnson administration. Nobody got their panties bunched up back then.
I don't see them on the Billboard country chart.
Please cite your source.

Their album released in 2006 which held the # 1 spot.

Probably.
They get no air around here.
It should be interesting to see how many moon bats attend their new tour...
Must grate on moon bats having to buy Country (?) music by the Dixie Chic's to make a political statement.
Country music fans are not buying it...
That is not true.
The moon bats bought a country (?) music album as a political protest.
Country fans are not buying the album...or listening to it on radio.
It figures that a Dixie Chicks fan can't spell "heroes".
Sure, whatever you say. I can't stomach country music nowadays, so I wouldn't know what is being played. You can't listen to it on Clear channel stations because clear Channel banned them. But clear channel isn't about music, it's about control. I wouldn't listen to a clear channel station if it was the only station on the air, and that has nothing to do with the Dixie Chicks. The only good music radio stations are the few left that are locally controlled, with real DJ's that aren't affraid of current political correctness.
