Dixie Chicks Iraq Protest

(CBS)  Three years ago, the Dixie Chicks were the most popular female group in history. They had the No. 1 country single and were about to embark on a sold out worldwide tour, when lead singer Natalie Maines made an off-the-cuff remark in London. On the eve of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, she said she was ashamed that President Bush was from her home state of Texas. Not since Jane Fonda's trip to Hanoi had an entertainer enraged so many people with a political statement.

The Dixie Chicks set up this poster as a protest to a section of the US public turning on their statement about Bush being an idiot in context to his stance on Iraq & the fact that their free speech was being inhibited. I think this poster is totally justified & knowingly set up by the Dixie Chicks to prove a valid point.
