The Hypocrisy of the Right in full view... Anyone remember the Dixie Chicks
   
who said they were ashamed of Bush being from their state.. and the unholy stink they raised over it.

The outrage they expressed?

Where are those people when we have name calling and spitting on congresspeople by the tea people?

Where is the outrage from the right?

Hey moron we were upset that they dissed Bush on foreign soil.
Now we have a president who disses the US on foreign soil. How times have changed.

And you wanna talk about hypocrisy? Pre 2009 dissent is patriotic after 2009 sit down and shut up.

Because it didn't happen a$$wipe.

The media in general stood up for the Dixie Chicks, it was just country radio that mostly stopped playing them.  That was at the behest of their listeners.

Conversely, I don't see anyone praising the acts that were alleged to happen.  Since there hasn't been clear audio/video, just the claims by the DimRats.

Exactly right. I don't believe any of this (except calling barney a fag.) If anyone was spit on, or anyone was called a n*****, I guarantee Conservatives will denounce such actions. I do not believe a Conservative would spit on a congressmen.

[GOBUCKS]

Maybe they didn't actually yell those names or spit, but just like Jimmuh's lust, it was in their hearts. I know it's in mine.

I don't know how it's possible to equate the ignorant, treasonous behavior of the Dixie Chicks, especially the little fat one, with the actions of people who are, after all, only alleged to have called a spade a spade.

Natalie Maines' remarks were specifically about the war and were made on foreign soil while we had troops under fire.

When you find a conservative who does such a thing that provides propaganda material for our enemies and possibly rallies them to fight harder, let me know. That's a special kind of assholery.

If you're suggesting it's okay to call black people ni****, I'm on the wrong site.

Oh, please! No more so than Jimmuh actually committing adultery.
It's good to know the DUmp doesn't have a monopoly on drama queens.

[DixieBelle]

The Dixie Twits are opening for the Eagles. That should tell you something about their career.

[Airwolf]

I could believe that there MAY have been a small number of asshat KKK types in the crowd BUT I also do not think that any REAL conservative would just stand by and allow it to continue under the guise of protesting the  HCR bill. STill until they have video or audio of it happening its just another failed bouncy tale.

Specbid....."political correctness" is not an admirable virtue here......

who are, after all, only alleged to have called a spade a spade.

I would not, in my wildest dream, consider this a racial slur, if that is what you are referring to......

`Tis ok by me.
It's just a slanderous name and blacks do that not only to whites but to themselves on a daily basis.

Disagree with a NEGRO or a white liberal that USES negros for their OWN political gain and you are a RACIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**** off you leftist hypocritical tool!

****** indeed....YOU are the racist and I guarantee you haven't the IQ horsepower to know why.

[PatriotGame]

Oh I agree but I do NOT think we are acting like assholes at all. Besides, civil discourse is often warranted. Especially when false accusations of racism and the warrant destruction of the Constitution is at hand.

[NHSparky]

Look, I don't like the word or any other derogatory terms, regardless of who uses them or in what context.

That being said, the double-standard has gone on for far too long.  You want a truly color-blind society?  Quit playing the victim card, pull yourself up without any "hep" from anyone but yourself and your community, and then we can all move on.
