1. I thought he said Imus didn't defend them.

2. He said Imus attacked them
I think he was reminding people the basketball statement wasn't the only time he's been a jerk. Although Tweety sure wouldn't win any badges of courage either.

4. I'm Sick of Them
being drug through the mud. The Dixie Chic's expressed the most basic freedom we've been given, that is, freedom of speech. They stated what they wanted at a private party in England and were crucified for it. Every red American called them the lowest of low for doing it. Red State radio stations invoked their form of censorship to ban their music.

My opinion is that they had every right to say what they wanted and their music is some of the finest country and western I've listened to. I've been a country and western music fan since the English invasion ruined the great American rock and roll movement started in the early 50's.

Screw you, you narrow minded bigots who wish to ignore the rights we have as Americans. The Iraq invasion was wrong at every stage. It is still wrong and needs to be stopped now.

5. Thank you all for clarifying...
I was hoping he did not say that.
