3. What pisses them off the most...
The Right Brothers can't even get airplay, much less a Grammy.

It just hasn't dawned on the Right Brothers and the Freepers that they are simple LOUSY!

a DUer.

Ignorant? Definitely. Creative? Not so much.

Stole it from the SomethingAwful.com forums. Someone there made it, not a freep.

29. What's even more hilarious is the fact that these are their first grammy wins.
The Dixie Chicks also won country album of the year in 1999, 2000, and 2003.

Altogether they have garnered 14 Grammys.

Guess those awards they got before that tempest in a teapot in 2003 were "pre-pity" awards!

THEY AIN'T COUNTRY NO MORE
But if you remove the second sentence in "country" that would be an apt word for them.

18. They show they're ignorance, stupidity and hatred
"I noticed notorious anti-American, Jew basher Jimmy Carter also won"

It's so easy for the right wingers because they aren't bound by any values or ethics - spewing lies and hate are okay if it gets you what you want.

20. Here is the thing
It wasn't an award for being against Bush, it really was a very good album, and I am by no means a Country music fan. It was done very well so that is why they won. I mean they got "Jesus Take the Wheel" what more do they want?

Congrats to the Dixie Chicks - great album!

24. Natalie Maines is Fat ?- geez, I wish I was that 'fat'
Edited on Mon Feb-12-07 09:55 AM by LynneSin


This coming from a bunch of lardasses sitting at home cheering on the war instead of fricking enlisting if they believe so much in it.

One could only hope to be as 'fat' as Natalie Maines - I think she's absolutely stunning!

27. Who could think that she's fat?
That not fat. That's build. Healthy body with an appropriate amount of meat on her bones. Clearly she does not have the genes to be a stick, but so what? People come in a wide variety of shapes, most of them healthy, and for some reason people have latched on to one or two as being the only normal ones.
She looks like she's shaped the way nature intended, and that's a beautiful thing.

I think they are all beautiful. I believe when Natalie was a bit plumper she was also pregnant at the time. Freepers are assholes

30. -haha- I *know* you didn't think she was fat. I've read enough of your posts to know what you meant!
And yes, freepers are tools!

'A bit plumper' when she was pregnant? I should hope so! My wife's tummy turned into an enormous sphere when she was pregnant. No weight gain would be a tad odd!

32. Well, lookee here at Mr. Frumpy Pants
"This is only the beginning, the set-up for Al Gore's big Oscar coronation in a few weeks."
I agree completely. Big, and I emphasize Big, Al snags his Oscar for bull**** regarding global warming and then perhaps gets the Nobel Peace Prize.
I seriously view Gore as a democrat contender for the presidential election. It's all being orchestrated.
EODGUY


I forgot that the Dixie Chicks manufactured Global Warming so Gore could win the Nobel.

35. I'm definately not a fan of country music - but Dixie Chicks are not typical country
Sure they have a 'twang' to their sound - but their music goes above what you would typically think of modern country music. I did buy their last album and enjoyed it greatly; even went to see them in concert in Philadelphia and really loved the show too!

62. The "twang" you mention is like nails on a chalkboard to me.
My e-girlfriend is a big fan and I had to hear a lot of their stuff when we were dating. I've given it a chance, I just can't handle it. That said, I don't like R&B any better and still love it when any R&B artist rips on Bush, too :)

38. Not a country fan, but I know all the words to "Goodbye Earl"
Their music is just fun.

We only bought 2 CDs last year - Long Way Home and St. Elsewhere

Wish I had just downloaded "Crazy", but the whole Dixie Chicks album was great.

41. I Swore Off DU For A While Because Of ALL The Infighting Going On...
BUT just had to make a comment here! Just wanted to thank you for posting this.... my daughter is a HUGH Chicks fan and kept calling me last night with updates as I wasn't watching the Grammys. She was just ecstatic especially since she's had a couple of bumper stickers on her car for some time now saying DIXIE CHICKS For President!

I have one suggestion... we should start sending this WINNING CD to the WH en masse! I'm not going to post this at other forums because as I said I'm really tired of all the piling on of OUR candidates running for President, almost sounds like FREEPER land sometimes. I'm not one who wants to nitpick each and every statement made by each candidate we have running! It's a bit early and it's waaaaaaaaay to UGLY for me! I'll just be reading from time to time and post only once in a while so I will be able to remain a member.

I AM very sad at what I've been seeing here at DU, but hey I guess I'm in the minority, as I have been since The Idiot made himself THE DECIDER! I thought DU was the place to go as a haven, but it seems it's changed. Maybe another site will be an answer but I'll have to give it more time.

47. "Dixie Twits Delenda Est"????
That's a threat, even though it's in Latin. The usual right wing blowhard's threatening language that never gets prosecuted.

I'm amazed any of them would know any of them eeeeevil Furrin Langwidges.

That's a takeoff on "Carthago Delenda Est" which we learned back in Latin class was "Carthage Must be Destroyed". I think it was about the Punic Wars or something. I know some poly sci major here that actually remembers their history will know the right war this is from.
