> Today The Dixie Chicks joined Iran, Iraq, North Korea, and Martin Sheen in
"Axis of Evil" status, as White House spokesmen reacted to remarks made by
Dixie Chicks singer Natalie Maines during a London concert appearance.
Natalie was quoted as saying, "Just so you know, we're ashamed the president
of the United States is from Texas," to which the London audience roared its
approval.
>
> Said White House press secretary Ari Fleishman regarding Natalie, lead
singer of the popular country trio, "She may have disagreed with us, but she
really crossed the line when she messed with Texas. That didn't sit well
with the president, big time. Her Texas visa will be revoked immediately."
>
> Country music fans were outraged and voiced their displeasure of the Dixie
Chicks for using the popularity and the politically pure medium of country
music to disseminate their own opinions. (more...)
>
> In Bossier City, La., radio station KRMD even organized a "Tribute to
American Freedom" publicity event, which consisted of running over Dixie
Chick CDs with a tractor. "They have no rights to tell me what to think,"
said an angry fan interviewed at the radio stations patriotic CD crushing,
"So to tell them what I think, I came here to destroy their CDs. Hopefully
this will learn them about speaking their minds."

> When asked about other ideological based book burnings in the past, such
as heavily practiced in Nazi Germany and most recently by the Taliban,
participants answered by pelting the media with beer bottles.
>
> Responding to press conference questions regarding the protest music
burnings and CD smashing events happening all over the midwest, Natalie
turned to her agent and whispered, "Were they paid for?" He nodded
affirmatively as Natalie quietly smiled to herself.
