05/29/2008 | They lost some old fans and gained some new fans.
I'd call it a draw.

05/29/2008 | I have no interest in their music or commercial fortunes since this event, but by all means Dixie Chicks, feel free to resume the trashing...

08/30/2006 | Loved the Dixie Chicks. But I don't like entertainers giving their opinions on politics. That's not what they are being payed for and the Chicks peed in their cheerios. Concerts being canceled right and left.

03/24/2006 | These girls spoke the truth dudes. Unfortunately, it probably hurt their country music career though.

11/27/2005 | Like Larry the Cable Guy said; if that fat one would shut her mouth, the group would be great. They had no backup to trash President Bush. Whether you like Bush or not, I think everyone would agree that you show respect for your nation's leader.

07/31/2005 | F a career. They spoke from the heart and were real with people about how they felt. In my opinion, it is impossible for that to be bad. Hey, everybody, you know what it's called when speaking out against a government leader hurts OR HELPS your career?.................FACISM!

03/19/2004 | Apparently, this is the way to go these days. It hasn't seemed to hurt them much at all. In fact, I think they have even more noteriety. Not too hard to imagine in a world glutted with sex oriented spam and tv commercials. Poor taste sells.

03/13/2004 | It gave them publicity and for celebrities trying to market a movie or a CD, that's all that really matters. If you get attention, you're in. The media made much of the scene in Louisiana where people where throwing out Dixie Chicks CD's, but really it's only helped them out. And frankly, they had every right to say that they're ashamed of coming from Texas because Bush comes from there. Not exactly the most brilliant thing I've ever heard before, but it leaves one to think about what ever happened to respecting other peoples views and that's it. Just because you don't support the President doesn't mean that you're some Frenchie anti-American. Some of us need to grow up.

02/29/2004 | Some of the other comments seem to miss the point here. The question isn't whether the Dixie Chicks had a right to say what they said, as everyone on this list had a right (absent some contractual obligation) to do as they did. The question is whether it was a smart career move for the Dixie Chicks. While the long term consequences of their speaking against the President still remains to be seen, it appears that it has had mixed effects on their careers in the short term, namely hurt them with traditional country fans yet brought them some mainstream recognition.

09/26/2003 | It obviously didn't destroy their sales of albums, as they have actually sold more albums since this incident. But as Prez said, it was probably not the best thing to do to their core audience. I personally had respect for them until they apologized for it. Then I didn't care for them after that. Just like twinmom said, I will be damned if anyone will tell me what to think of George W. Bush !

09/12/2003 | I agree with X-D and ladyshark. What pissed me off the most is that they got all scared and apologized for all of it, as if they had committed treason. Maybe doing it on American soil would have been smarter, but I'll be damned if anyone ever makes me feel like dirt for criticizing the president. Teddy Roosevelt said it best: To announce that there must be no criticism of the president, or that we are to stand by the president, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.

08/28/2003 | It's not the worst thing in the world to criticize your President, but the country music demographic is mostly Southern and conservative. They came across like they were spitting in the face of the largest portion of their audience.
