Those incidents made TV headlines here and that caused me to lose any respect I had towards the D.C.'s

The D.C. actions caused a major backlash here in OKC, making them look very hypocritical in regards to free speech. So much that OKC country stations will not play any of their music - Thus the (supposed) poor ticket sales for their canceled Sept.26,2006 show.

None of the Anti-Bush remarks hurt 'em in OKC, but playing "prima-donnas" and asking the Ford Center to remove any/all ads which featured OKC resident (Ford Motor Company spokesman) Toby Keith or they would refuse to play was somewhat childish.

I don't blame them one bit for any of that (they had death threats). Besides, you don't know how much any of this is true. It's all in how the media portrayed it. I'm sure that in your part of the country your news would only show the negative Chick stuff anyway.

As far as the redneck, I mean Toby Keith, he's the one that had this picture, up on the screen at his concerts, first. I can kinda see why the Chicks don't like him and why they would want his ugly mug removed from the venue

Now, Toby Keith has been quoted as saying "he's not sure if going into Iraq was the right thing to do and that we probably won't know for 20 or 30 years, why we really invaded them. Ah, duh.

I'm sure, if you ever get a chance to see this documentary, it will all be cleared up for you.
