Against the Dixie Chicks, and was VERY pro Iraq and W. I threw away all her CDs when she attacked the Dixie Chcxks, and will NEVER watch anything she's in nor listen to her music again. EVER. If she had publicly apologized, possible.

Did she publicly, or even privately, support Chely Wright? NO.

Give me Tim McGraw or Faith Hill any day. Or Martina, who came out publicly for marriage equality a few years ago.
