Why isn't Trump getting Dixie Chicked?

[Cancel 2020.1]

Oh, so your angst only extends to things about the Dixie Tricks.

Not at all. I didn't support at all what happened w/ that cake baker, and I've been outspoken against boycotts regarding both the left & right. So, you're statement is wrong on every level.

But the basketball owner & what happened to him? Man o' straw.

So you're not aware of an owner who was forced to sell his team, due to his spoken word!!

Where did I say I wasn't aware of it?

I know exactly what you're talking about. Like I said: man o' straw.

Well, you are the one that framed your response as a question!!

You guys are pretty unreal.

Like I said before - if you think what happened to the Dixie Chicks had no negative effect on the artistic community and entertainment industry, I really don't know what to tell you. It's like you slept through the last 13 years or so.

This election has really highlighted the sheer # of people in America who don't seem to be able to think rationally. I'll just throw you both in that group.

AGAIN... making the 'artistic community and entertainment industry' aware of something that is common sense is hardly 'chilling' etc...

No one silenced anyone. But the boycott is a reminder that you don't get to say whatever you feel like and be free of consequences. That is common sense. If they were unaware of this, then they are every bit as moronic as you.

This is all just so much BS. What about Hannity, Ingraham, Limbaugh et al.? Who are these "average citizens" you're talking about?

As far as what they added, here you go: voices to the anti-war movement. The admin, all of talk radio & the right in general sought to diminish & marginalize these voices. As I keep saying, all they wanted to do was shut these people up.

And guess what? The anti-war movement turned out to be right. On everything. Maybe you fools should have listened and been more open to their POV.

So, they did not add a fucking thing. They, like those that boycotted them, simply RESTATED something that was already out there. All you are doing is trying to shut up the people who disagree with you. You are suggesting that they should not be allowed to express themselves. You are trying to intimidate them.

The anti-war movement was not right about everything. The containment that you think should have lasted forever was the very thing that prompted the attacks of 9/11.

The starvation of the Iraqi people was occurring due to that containment and Saddam's actions. But you ignore that. instead you believe Michael Moores little fantasy that the Iraqi's were all having picnics and skipping through fields prior to the war.

Poor Freak. Still thinks Iraq was the right thing to do.

One of the last holdouts.

[Cancel 2020.1]

And only an idiot would think that adding more voices to a movement is meaningless.

Dissent ends wars. There is ample historical proof on that. You're a real fool, SF. Though it's fun to watch you flail.

Again, one of us bases our opinion on reality. The other on Michael Moore fantasies.

You are truly descending to Desh levels of idiocy.

1) Thing proclaims the boycotters are not adding anything to the 'market place of ideas'

2) Thing proclaims the ditzie chicks ARE

3) When asked WHAT they added, he states they 'added their voices to a movement' ie... they didn't add anything new to the marketplace of ideas... they simply agreed with an opinion that was already out there. Which is precisely what those that boycotted the ditzie chicks did. They added their voices to an idea that was already out there.

4) Again you create a straw man. I didn't say adding their voices to a movement was meaningless (you just can't help creating more bullshit straw men can you?). I stated they did not add anything new your 'marketplace of ideas'... and they didn't

5) Another straw man... no one stated that dissent doesn't end wars. You just want to keep spinning, moving goal posts and distracting from your complete ignorance on this thread.

[Cancel 2020.1]

Again, for the hard of hearing: the boycotts didn't forward an "idea." They just wanted to stop other people from talking.

It's lame and unAmerican to just want to shut up an opinion that you disagree with. Counter that opinion with a better one - persuade more people through the power of your own ideas. That's what free speech is about.

Not "we want everyone thinking the same way, so we're going to scare you into not talking." Not surprising that you would support something so childish & backwards.

trump lost support for not protecting the republican party from its complete failures

[Jarod]

IF Trump is losing support based on his criticism of the Bush family...

its insane to me that the Republican base is more upset over calling Bush out, than they over the way he mocked a crippled reporter.

its this state


its Bush country
