Natalie Maines hate mail in 2003 (Dixie Chicks)
Just so we don't forget what kind of people we're dealing with, here's a smattering of hate mail pulled off of the guestbook at nataliemaines.com before the death threats caused it to be shut down. All of these posts were made in March-April 2003 and are reprinted with all spelling errors intact. Names and graphic sexual content have been deleted.

APOLOGY NOT ACCEPTED. Some people will say/do anything to save face! Here's my 2 cents worth: May you enjoy the freedom of speech that I wear this uniform every day to defend. May your fortune and career take a downward spiral of which there is no recovery. May permanent laryingitis be the cure to your case of verbal (and mental) diarrhea. And may your son grow up to be a Marine; when he looks back at history and realizes what a naive, selfish, unpatriotic, ignorant and uninformed woman his mother was, may he exercise his freedom of speech to tell the world how ashamed he is of you. Do the US a favor-pack up and leave; while you're at it, could you please take Faith Hill, Susan Sarandon, Tim Robbins, Michael Moore, Barbara Streisand, and the rest of the bleeding-heart liberals out there with you? I hear France is nice this time of year..... Couldn't have said it better myself:

---

Ms. Maines I am from the GREAT STATE OF TEXAS and I really cannot understand your comments about our President. You were on a tour to share your music with people of England (our allie) and other countries, and you brought politics into your program. I have a very close friend who is a retired Texas Ranger and when I was 20 he had a saying: "You have two ears and one mouth, do twice as much listening and half as much talking." Ms. Maines it is going to take a long time for us patriotic Texans to forget what you said.

---

YOUR STILL A COWARD!!! WHY ARNT YOU OUT IN THE PUBLIC DEFENDING YOU "CAUSE"? CAUSE YOUR A COWARD!!!!!! BURN IN HELL NATALIE MAINES!!!

---

I am so sick of these liberal, whining peace queers who complain Natalie has a right to say what she wants but we dont have a right to call her a worthless cunt. Both sides have a right to say whatever we want in political discourse. All the liberals have their panties in a snit because we are CRITICIZING what Ms. Piggy said. Or perhaps not buying her shitty albums. PLEASE. These people are such hipocrites. They would be the first to jail you for a hate crime for saying the word nigger.

---

I live in Hobbs, NM Natalie, I am ashamed that your hometown is just 100 miles from me. Your a disgrace to west Texas and the surrounding area. Oh yeah, you mentioned before that Sheryl Crow mouthed off... and no one has boycotted her music. Well, the listeners for the type of music she sings are different. Country music fans are usually conservative. That just shows your level of intelligence. It is a shame that you let your ignorance ruin your carrer. I have a feeling that this is going to be a very expensive lesson no matter how many lame attempts at "apologizing" you do. Face it, your carrer as you knew it is over. I wouldn't be spending a whole lot... One more thing, you will never be even half the entertainer Toby Keith is!

---

I am a Lubbock Native and I think you have never been shot at or bombed like I was in the Middle East! You are lucky to blessed with our Freedom...fought and won by our forefathers! Dixie is from the Civil War and I suggest you change your names to CHICKEN. Maybe you would have been pleased to have your child gassed like the Kurdish children??? Think about that! OUR President did not go to War without Approval of Congress! Apparently you missed all the satellite intelligence presented to the UN by Colin Powell. An indept review of intelligence would have at least given you an open mind. Did the workers in the towers have any rights on 9/11? No, their rights and lives were taken by terrorists. DON'T Forget 9/11!

---

Woke up this morning to the news of the Bahgdad Chicks "fighting back" What do they mean, "fighting back?" They are the ones that took the first blow when they bad mothed our President abroad. I know this, it is always a desperate attempt when people start taking their clothes off to try and save their carrers. The Baghdad Chickens are just scrapping the bottom of the pan for stunts to save their asses. It isn't going to work for me. The more lame attempts you guys make the worse you all look. This "apology tour" GIVE US A BREAK! Oh and someone said, "Natalie didn't bad mouth the troops, just George W." Well, HELLO, He is The Commander and Chief, their leader...!"

---

wow is it hard to write to you these days. i hope you are enjoying your recent sucess. no one disagrees with your "freedom of speech" but when it comes down to it YOU can't accept the consequences of your comments. you are like the other acters/actresses who voiced their opinions (even though they are wrong and foolish comments). president bush will go down in history as one of the greatest presidents ever. i am very proud of him. he did not back down when alot of people were putting pressure on him and he was right as you now see the thosands of iraci people who are saved because he have the guts to go against the grain. you said recently that you don't regret asking questions, that is hillarious because your comments were NOT asking questions your comments were you submitting to anti-american sentiment. YOU are the puppet. you better enjoy this year because your future is ruined. the only reason your concerts are sold out is because of the popularity before your comments and they were already sold out. you ought to be thankful they are not giving refunds because you would be broke. they will never sell out again you are done and it does not matter how many times you apologize because americans are not as dumb as you must think. we know the ONLY reason you are apologizing is because now you are not as popular and it will affect your pocket books WAAAAAAH. your recent cover shot further digs the hole not only are you all not "hot" you look like anti-americans even more. VERY poor choice again! but hey you're not too smart anyway obviously! let me repeat one more time YOU ARE DONE. YOUR CONSEQUENCES NEED TO BE ACCEPTED AND ENJOYED BECAUSE YOU ARE AMERICAN. ENJOY THE LIFE OF THE "HAS BEEN" NOW. YOU ARE DONE!!!

---

I am from Lubbock, Texas just as you!...and I am ashamed you are from Texas...I cannot believe you said what you said on foriegn soil! Please be aware that I will call any radio station's sponser to make sure they know you were on the radio and I will not buy any product until you are off the air...Words have meaning, and you should be responsible for your words...you do have free speech I would fight to defend that...but I have the right of boycott..you should defend that!

---

I'd love to spend an hour (CENSORED) Natalie (CENSORED). She is cute in a trailer kinda way, and Im SURE (CENSORED). I love sex with dirty girls.

---

For some reason, you can't see the differnce in voicing an political opinion privately, and publically insulting a President, in a foreign land, and in a time of war. Pathetic...you just cannot bring yourself to simply saying, "No matter how I feel about the war, I Was wrong to insult the president, especially in a foreign land...It was a mistake, I'm truly sorry, and apologize to President Bush, and the American people". If you did that, little girl, it would be over. Instead, you issue a weasle worded "non-appology". To top it off, when Sawyer gave you an opportunity to issue a real appology to the President, you make it more clear that you meant every word or your original statement. Pathetic.

---

Waco, Tx is proud of our President. Austin, Tx is proud of Natalie. 56% of Americans support President Bush. Why is it your 44% have the loudest mouths? But then again, you wish al gore was the presidnet. Get over it. Move on.

2. You're welcome
And, of course, the Chicks have been vindicated.

Some guy who writes for Rolling Stone told keith Olbermann the other day that the Chicks' career hasn't really suffered that much. Seems like for every fan they lost, they must have gained another fan (or two).

14. Keeping their music off of the radio is no big deal
Who listens to music on the radio anymore?

Boycotting their records is also no big deal. Artists make less than a dime off of each CD. The record companies take in the lion's share of sales.

The best way to make them hurt is to not buy their concert tickets. But you couldn't buy them anyway in 2003 since their tour was sold out! LOL

No their career has not suffered at all.

4. "share your music with people of England (our allie)"
What dumb fucks these Bush apologists are. Not only can they not spell, but they didn't realize that the vast majority of citizens of our "allie" didn't support the war either and can't stand our mental midget president.
From CSPAN's Washington Journal to the Dixie Chicks' mailbag, right wingers are proving time and again that all the brains are on our side.

I love women and have at least two ex signifigant others who would probably be more than happy to say so. Good grief, if a freeper type wants to insult us, they should at least come up wiyh something original. I also wonder how those people feel now? Not to put them down, ok ok maybe to put them down, "Duh, which way did they go?" is a line which comes to mind.

16. What causes this insanity?
I really can't understand this mindset at all. To be so.... consumed by this man, Shrub.

What is it that they think he represents? And why is every little slight to him a virtual capital crime to them?

Or is this a sort of "Kennedy effect" for the RWers? At least we admired Kennedy for his real actions and speaking ability.

They say hope is not a strategy, but that's all you've got with this president.

Edited on Thu May-25-06 05:36 PM by tinfoil tiaras
(and if their older than like 70 or so), were either members of the White Citizens Council (the uptown Klan; for rich whites only) or the real thing (KKK...mostly poor whites scared of blacks competing against them in the work force). Even though most RW Southerners aren't outspoken about their racist feelings (calling people "n*****"), they still very much harbor those feelings inside, even if they werent members of the Citizens Council or KKK. An example would be rich, suburban, white kids trying to act "black" by dressing "ghetto" and "talking like a black person" (e.g. "Yo nigga, wut up!?" or something like that).

Apparently you missed all the satellite intelligence presented to the UN by Colin Powell. An
indept review of intelligence would have at least given you an open mind
:rofl:

I wonder if that poor freeper knows that Colin Powell now acknowledges that that little act will be a permanent stain on his career! Only a freeper could use logic that could make you think an 'open mind' might be a bad thing, under certain circumstances.

I wish someone would help freepers to spell to tell the difference between 'your' and 'you're'.

29. That one was my favorite, too.
I wonder why this person didn't mention the CARTOON of the 'mobile weapons facility' as being the highlight of Powell's presentation? It was the most convincing evidence presented, so an "indept review" would have illuminated the amount of BS being generated to most people.

34. The freepers love to prop their opinions by claiming they are
in uniform (or their husband is.)

On the internet this can never be proven.

And why use it to prop your opinion anyway? Because it's weak?

Those who are not male, too old or too young at the time of a war to fight in it, are just as American - those who fight to come back and lord it over others are doing it not to defend the US but to try to gain power over others should they survive. (It's even more sickening when they die and their survivors use that to prop their opinions and attempt to lord it over you).

35. Most RWers are chickenhawks
The real people in uniform are usually poor minority youth with no other options than to join the army. Maybe there might be some RWers in uniform, but for most of them, the military might be too much of a culture shock.

I agree with you though. Just look at Chimpy and the whole "Mission Accomplished" thing.
