Is this what conservatives REALLY think?

That reminds me; I need to buy the entire discography of the Dixie Chicks. I keep forgetting to support them.

[tbonestg.livejournal.com]

Why don't you just give them money and not bother with the CDs?

[city-of-dis.livejournal.com]

Because I already have their stuff via download. I feel that they've earned my money, though, so I'm going to buy them.

[tbonestg.livejournal.com]

Okay, so instead of giving them money, where they recieve 100% of your gratitude, you'd rather buy their CDs, where they'll only recieve maybe 10% of the price of the CD, while record companies and all that crap, who have made no political stance whatsoever, recieve the majority.

Makes sense to me...

[vorpal.livejournal.com]

I agree completely with this comment. I never buy CDs, as I can't stand the idea of my money going to support corrupt record companies who are fighting bitterly to sustain a failing business model and may well turn around and use the money I do contribute to them to sue me down the road for downloading the occasional CD.

When I find a group I like, I make a point of going to see them in concert and buying some of their merchandise, which I'm under the impression lines their pockets a little better. I'd love to be able to just mail them $20 for their efforts, if such a system were in place.

Further proof that liberals are a bunch of humorless, ignorant elitists.

They think women are that thin too?

Thanks for reminding me to pickup 5 of their CD's. Damn I knew I forgot something. thanks

I wonder if all fans of the Dixie Chicks have ludicrously elongated necks...

I'm worried Arabic listeners might mistake the "la la la"s in their songs for islamofascist war cries.

[fallen-witness.livejournal.com]

That's a really stupid cartoon. I would hope that isn't how all Conservatives think but it's sadly been proven to be true numerous times.

I have the CD. It's fabulous. I would HIGHLY recommend it.

[stupiddumbpanda.livejournal.com]

Hahahahahah that's hilarious. For all the wrong reasons.

[xigua.livejournal.com]

I don't get it :

[cahier-vide.livejournal.com]

Ditto.

The Dixie Chicks have criticized Bush, which the cartoonist apparently feels is tantamount to supporting the terrorists.

[hikarugenji.livejournal.com]

Or even more explanatory -- the Dixie Chicks have criticized Buch, which the cartoonist apparently feels is tantamount to supporting the terrorist. The Dixie Chicks have manifested this support by producing their albums in Arabic, because as we know, all terrorists speak Arabic and all Arabic-speakers are terrorists.

I think this is why the cartoon was not particularly funny -- while hyperbole is always used in cartoons to good comic effect, this cartoon's use of hyperbole was just stupid. To agree with the "message" of this cartoon you have to believe a lot of really ignorant things (the most ignorant of which is that producing a CD in the Arabic language is equivalent to supporting terrorists). I doubt that even a lot of anti-conservatives found it very funny.

[tubaboy81.livejournal.com]

True, though I think the regular ignorance of "support Bush or you support the terrorists" is dumb enough.

[chipuni.livejournal.com]

And don't tell... errr, whoever the cartoon is supposed to represent... that Arabic lyrics tend to be very, very conservative.

[towith.livejournal.com]

The worst failing of this cartoon is that it simply isn't funny.

[mishdogg.livejournal.com]

Mike Lester, take note:

Iraqis speak FARSI.
what a dumb bastard.

[clownshoes.livejournal.com]

Haha, nice try. Iran is the only country with Farsi as their official language.

[mid-limbo.livejournal.com]

well, iraqi's arent the terrorists, but whats the difference right?

[http://users.livejournal.com/_stasha/]

No.. their official languages are Arabic and Kurdish.

[filthy-bonnet.livejournal.com]

Because in the grand scheme of things, the Dixie Chicks are that important and threatening.

[tbonestg.livejournal.com]

Yeah, they rank right up there with global warming and second-hand smoking.

This is not exactly what Conservatives think. While many are resentful over the anti-Bush comments of Natalie Maines, and have expressed this by refusing to listen to their music, I don't know anyone with the point of view expressed in this cartoon.

[firebreathnchkn.livejournal.com]

Well, someone felt this was true or they wouldn't have drawn it. Or published it.

[bluetooth16.livejournal.com]

It's obviously an exaggeration.

[jennybunny.livejournal.com]

OH HOLY SHIT. SOMEONE USED AN EXAGGERATION IN A POLITICAL CARTOON. NO WAI.
